An Icy Gaze Into the Big Bang: Quantum Physicists Investigate New States of Matter in Ultracold Atom Mixtures

Following this link, I came upon an explanation of why flu viruses spread more easily in the cold months. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080330203401.htm The over all rule is how temperature effects stickiness, or solidness, of the atomic particle or the flu virus. The shell of a flu virus gets hard in the cold and hangs in the air longer, instead of being destroyed as would happen if not for the hard shell. Then when it gets in soft warm spots, it sticks. When it warms up, and shell melts, it enters the host's body and multiples until the host's immune system successfully attacks and destroys the virus. This defense takes several days, because our bodies apparently disarm, and have to mobilize with each new invasion, unless we are inoculated against a virus. Then we remained armed like the US after Eisenhower established the Military Industrial Complex.

Which is probably why virus' per se, do not exsist in the cold and vaccum of space......unless transported viz a host....interesting.

interesting but this is consequence,not cause...causes are inside smelt all around us.Smelt depends on our sexual behavior and behavior of our sexual partners...mono heterosexual connections never finished with bisexual or homosexual behavior.

As long as they don't wear out before you might need them.
The morality of this research I leave to the philosphers and religionists...the proven practicality already exsists.
And I'm an example.... as having recieved a corneal transplant; I now also have the genes of it's donor and it it saved my sight in the right eye.
Thanks

Seems like they ie. science is always solving something....they had already solved  for years it was planetary formation debis.... asteroids etc....now it's this. Just once I'd love them to agree for at least a year. But then again that's why I love this stuff they are always on the 'think'.

Fear of Death Spurs Belief in Intelligent Design
Quite thought provoking and informative.....but it begs the question why don't mainstream people trust then in science? Those, who for example, might share the contention being formulated. Is it because they believe more that science, being the product of human intellect, is then inferior to a greater unknown. And therefore creates a requirement for a developer of intelligent design?
Judge for yourselves.
