Recent Polish Scientific Discoveries... (Scientific News)

Here we present well-preserved and securely dated tetrapod tracks from Polish marine tidal flat sediments of early Middle Devonian (Eifelian stage) age that are approximately 18 million years older than the earliest tetrapod body fossils and 10 million years earlier than the oldest elpistostegids. They force a radical reassessment of the timing, ecology and environmental setting of the fish–tetrapod transition, as well as the completeness of the body fossil record.

Finally a thread worth to post something :) Thank you Sean,

Poland has the most efficient supercomputer in energy consumption according to green500.org.

Professor Sylwester Porowski's group managed to beat the world's foremost scientific institutes in the race to produce the blue laser.

(The blue laser has)four times more information than before can be packed on optic disks, which means that in future CD-ROM disks will be able to hold much more data than they do now with the red lasers used to record and read information.

A big anthropological discovery was made near Kielce recently which will greatly improve our understanding.

it is a simple finding.

vatikan have better scientists. they already discovered the god and they are researching things beyond the god. these scientists arent their competitiors of vatikan scientists who are competing with imams and the likes.

"In his encyclical Humani Generis (1950), my predecessor Pius XII has already affirmed that there is no conflict between evolution and the doctrine of the faith regarding man and his vocation, provided that we do not lose sight of certain fixed points....Today, more than a half-century after the appearance of that encyclical, some new findings lead us toward the recognition of evolution as more than a hypothesis. In fact it is remarkable that this theory has had progressively greater influence on the spirit of researchers, following a series of discoveries in different scholarly disciplines. The convergence in the results of these independent studies – which was neither planned nor sought – constitutes in itself a significant argument in favor of the theory."

it is interesting that our ancestors were fossils, isnt it.. how do you combine this with the formation of earth theories that say the earth was a fire sphere when seperated from the sun? before fossils, we were ash?

there must be a blow in space that transferred the very rare oxygen to the earth to combine with hydrogen

what do you think where it came from?

the Church's position to accept evolution of the human body:

there is water on the moon and Mars.

Oxygen is the most common element of the earth's crust and hydrogen is the most common element of the universe.

i dont know who to believe anymore. people really went to the moon, mars, etc?

if they didnt, then, it means church too believed in their lies of scientists who might have also blown evolution theories.

i read before that someones carrying steel to the moon to construct a hotel or a big building. my guess is that some wealthy people and top scientists are trying to escape away from the earth cause they probably see no future on earth. likely, they also knew economy crisis in advance that may lead to the world war.

there is no oxygen in the sun and almost no where in the space to the present knowledge.

Oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe by mass after hydrogen and helium

it seems that there is contradiction between theories of formation of the earth and formation of the life on earth which is dependent on the oxygen.

oxygen.

The universe started out with the lightest elements -- namely, hydrogen and helium. These gases became the ingredients for heavier elements such as carbon and oxygen, and even gold and uranium.

The change occurred through a phenomenon known as nuclear fusion. This is a process wherein two or more lighter atomic nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus -- thus, a new element.

However, fusion cannot occur unless the temperature is very, very high (millions of degrees Celsius, in fact), so fusion is only possible in the cores of the stars. Stars, which are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, serve as the "cooking pot" for heavier elements.

Generally, heavier stars can form heavier elements. Elements no heavier than iron can be formed via fusion in the cores of stars.

For heavier elements (such as gold and uranium) to form, a more violent phenomenon has to occur. This is the supernova, which is the explosive death of an extremely heavy, short-lived star.

nomaderol

I don't know what it does but it looks impressive :)

Cannot mods just delete nomaderol's posts as flaming?

Or they can be tried to test some new design for an aircraft without a real flight. They will produce very realistic results in future

(Still they don't have enough processing speed to simulate all parameters in the real world).

but modern science today has very solid methodology and there is no room for discussion

So we will be able to play some fantastic video games? :)

My computer is slow too ;)

I would argue this point, after all it is not infallible, to error is human.

Yes but again it should be done by scientific way and research not with funny rumours.

Now often also considered a distinct species, Homo neanderthalensis (otherwise known as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) lived in the southern half of Poland during the Middle Paleolithic period, that is between 300,000 and 40,000 BCE. Various relics were found and different Neanderthal cultures are distinguished, even though no actual human bones from this period have been identified.

Do you mean Germans are primitive, unenlightened, culturally and intellectually backward, ignorant people; barbarians and people with very old-fashioned ideas.

See? We Germans were there first!
Neanderthalers are undoubtely Germans (as the name shows)!

Nah, it's just another ethnic group that German destroyed. Who knows.. perhaps that was the first holocaust ;)

Poland’s new National Centre for Science (Narodowe Centrum Nauki – NCN) opened on 4 March in Krakow. It is the only agency charged with distributing funds for applied research on a large scale.

This will be overseen by a council of specialists from across Poland and the hope is that red tape can be avoided by centralising the agency. This year’s capital injection is 305 million PLN, however, this will increase significantly after a coherent set of policy objectives for the centre have been formalised.
