Ally Bongo Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 14 minutes ago, Scotty CTA said: Explain. One of the genes that governs bone density in human beings is called low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5, or LRP5 for short. Mutations which impair the function of LRP5 are known to cause osteoporosis. But a different kind of mutation can amplify its function, causing one of the most unusual human mutations known. This mutation was first discovered fortuitously, when a young person from a Midwest family was in a serious car crash from which they walked away with no broken bones. X-rays found that they, as well as other members of the same family, had bones significantly stronger and denser than average. (One doctor who's studied the condition said, "None of those people, ranging in age from 3 to 93, had ever had a broken bone.") In fact, they seem resistant not just to injury, but to normal age-related skeletal degeneration. Some of them have benign bony growths on the roof of their mouths, but other than that, the condition has no side effects - although, as the article notes dryly, it does make it more difficult to float. As with Apo-AIM, some drug companies are researching how to use this as the basis for a therapy that could help people with osteoporosis and other skeletal diseases.

I don't know about wikipedia, I was taught cos(C/R) = cos(A/R) cos(B/R) was the equation for spherical pythagorean theorems. What's the formula for determining the curvature of the earth, then? 16 minutes ago, Toepoke said: If the planet isn't spinning then where does the sun go at night? I believe in the geocentric model. If you believe that the sun is 93 million miles away and 400 times larger than the moon then I'd like to know how that was determined. The model that I now subscribe to has a sun that is 3,000 miles away and only 32 miles in diameter. The midnight sun doesn't go away at the North Pole. How does that get explained? 16 minutes ago, phart said: Showing us what? The earth isn't a sphere. Are you arguing it now is? I thought you thought it was flat? I now believe that the earth is flat.

That's actually an excellent example to disprove the Flat Earth concept. The North Pole in mid summer is facing towards the sun, hence it never gets dark. The Flat Earth model faces the sun all the time, we would never have a night sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would still see evidence of it in the sky if the surface of the planet was a flat plane. If it was directly above a point 10,000 miles away at a height of 3000 miles the sun would appear in the sky around 17 degrees above the horizon.
