Mar 16	comment	Are there any viruses or bacteria which have evolved to withstand higher temperatures due to fever There are bacteria that live in hotsprings, for them 100c is comfortable.
Jan 30	comment	Refutation of Darwin's Random Evolution Theory At some point is a different matter. The question is about the origin of life. If you want to have a discussion about the process after life has originated then that should be in a different thread.
Jan 30	comment	Refutation of Darwin's Random Evolution Theory No but molecules that create copies of themselves which inherit their characteristics are. And that is all that is necessary for first life.
Jan 30	comment	Refutation of Darwin's Random Evolution Theory I am pointing out that this so-called refutation is flawed as it assumes that first life must be someting complex. As for the continued evolution of life you can start a different thread.
Jan 9	comment	Does body temperature affect human lifespan? "Since humans are not built to withstand extremely low temperatures, it is likely that lowering the core body temperature to 30C will cause it to have organ impairment, causing organ failure, followed by death." Are you sure about that? The Icelander who swam for 6 hours in the 5c ocean, surely had a core temperature below 30c, and he was fine.
Jan 8	comment	Does body temperature affect human lifespan? I agree though that if the body is constantly trying to raise the temperature then that should increase metabolic processes and thus probably shorten lifespan. But if the brain could be fooled into thinking this lower temperature is the nice new norm..
Jan 8	comment	Does body temperature affect human lifespan? Another argument for cold-induced longevity is that I know a person who's been working at the ER for decades, and she says people who die in extreme circumstances, such as drowning in sub zero water, can be brought back after unbelievably long amounts of time with far less damage than when in normal temperatures. Indicating the temperature is slowing things down.
Dec 29	comment	Does body temperature affect human lifespan? Okey I changed it.
Dec 28	comment	Does body temperature affect human lifespan? I don't have an exact definition at hand but humans and frogs are what I would call advanced. I might as well rephrase and say 'humans and frogs and such animals' instead of 'advanced'. The point would remain the same.
Dec 28	comment	Does body temperature affect human lifespan? So advanced animals seem to be really capable of cooling.
Dec 28	comment	Does body temperature affect human lifespan? And frogs are relatively advanced animals, there are those who can just freeze in the autumn and thaw back in the spring: youtube.com/watch?v=Fjr3A_kfspM
Dec 28	comment	Does body temperature affect human lifespan? A boat sank close to Icelandic shores in march 1984, all died but one who managed to swim to land, took him five hours and the ocean was around 4C. So there are people who can tolerate unbelievable drops in body temperature and suffer no long term harm.
Dec 27	comment	Does body temperature affect human lifespan? Epic, so u just put them in the fridge like food u want to last longer? How much longer do they live at 18c compared to 25c?
Dec 27	comment	Does body temperature affect human lifespan? okey then, 32. Could even keep them a bit warmer in the beginning.
Oct 3	comment	Why insects are so energy-efficient while flying? According to the square-cube law the wingspan decreases with size but the mass decreases even more. Which means flying requires less push-up force per surface area for smaller animals.
Oct 2	comment	Why insects are so energy-efficient while flying? Well it's just the square-cube law: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square-cube_law.
Aug 19	comment	Why did life not evolve to use radio? Life did evolve to use radio, we use it all the time.
Aug 4	comment	Is the theory of evolution being disproved by bats? Theory of evolution is not being disproven by anything and therefore it must not be being disproven by bats.
Jul 21	comment	If body temperature is 37°C (98.6°F), why are most people more comfortable at around 21°C (70°F)? It is quite a substantial amount of heat, and it is more when we are active so therefore more during the day. I don't have the resources available nor how to calculate those amounts.
Jul 1	comment	How did the first self replicating organism come into existence? No I think its a small if because its the only plausible explanation for the emergence of life I have ever encountered.
