Philosophy
let's figure out how things work. whether we're coming up with theories for how our favourite characters do what they do, or talking about real life science and belief systems, we can talk in here.
There is a specific rules for this forum, inside. Read them.
I think it goes without saying you have to have an open mind.
If your mind is closed or you are devoutly faithful to your own beliefs it is advisable to skip this area.
This place is a discussion board.
If you show a repeated refusal to listen to others views, it ceases to become discussion. You will then be barred from this area.
So discuss your ideas, think up new possibilities, be creative and have fun!

But I dunno if this place is the best place to ask such a crazy question. Ok, in my story which is in progress. I am designing some predatory rodents which I need some scientific fact to support this design of the teeth. As you can see the Rodent skull hasn't changed much for millions of years in fact they all look very similar. What kinda teeth will be needed or teeth shape would be best for a rodent's incisors to form so it can stab flesh. I have a few designs but I calculated that the creature might have what they call a teeth occulsion or overgrown teeth if I use my current designs. I would also wanna ask whether is it possible for a molar to turn into another tee…

I have had this on my mind for sometime now. I know some people actually think that we are going to drown because heat waves are melting the polar ice glaciers and we have to do something or we'll die! Ok I understand that, but what gets me is that people are blaiming vehicles and factories for the problem. Its like they are all pointing fingures and not trying to solve the issue. My brother has this shirt from hot topic, that has a picture of an ice pop melting with the sun in the background, and it says "I Hate Global Warming" thats pretty much how I see this issue. I have gotten in debates with some students about it, because we had an assignment to persuade me to beli…

I've debated this with People in hte past so I decided to lay this horse to rest. ok zeo made a rather wild claim in hte recent debate so I wanted to test his theory. I quote zeo as actually I find this manner here kinda insulting considering my results. I'm not judging. just the debate which we always disagree on. it's not a personal jab. now the part i find insulting is the phrase "it really is a simple matter"... because dude. this is not simple as you so readily demonstrated by sizing that meteor up as 1,800 km (thereabouts) here is a reconstruction demonstrating these sizes as you typed in your diagram. now this is a side elevation, but even looking…

So this thread is about the historical records regarding the Crusades and the events that developed around them. I was very tired of always hearing how terrible Christians were, because of what the Crusader's did almost a thousand years ago. Well, I knew nothing about the Crusades at that time, and started doing my own research, I was amazed to discover how woefully ignorant the West is regarding the Crusades. I will post three Documentaries (of which I watched first) and will later post other videos and articles regarding the Crusades. Feel free to post links, or leave comments about the Crusades. =) withought further a do, lets begin, the History of the Crusades! The C…

We've definately seen the Guyver take handgun bullets, but I wonder how much it can from real weapons? I think Dragon Skin body armor can provide a good example of what the Guyver could probably take.

I was talking with Yuki in her blog about this earlier, and I though that it would be a good topic for here for us to discuss. We can also cite fictional examples, but I'm mostly looking at this from a "human" or "real life" POV. Here's a couple of things that I posted in her blog that I find disconcerting. One is that I have a fear of crowds and strangers, and the other is some of the disadvantages of living where I do. To quote: "Oddly, one of the things that I don't have to put up with where I live is a lot of people being around. And I hope that you didn't take my comment as "the whole human race is worthless because people are prone to acting out of fear"…

Raymond Kurzwell is a futurist. He basically speaks of an insanely cool theory called the singularity where science and techology (largely assisted by as yet unmade super computers) are so fast at developing new techonologies that it is practically instantaneous. No deleopment time just a few seconds for your personal nano fabricator to make this new thing for you and the rest of the world. The guy believes by 2020 computers will be as smart as a human and by 2045 computers will be a billion times more intelligent than every human on earth combined. It is around 2045 we reach the singularity. And for anyone who thinks 'maybe'. This guy accurately predicted the fall of …

We talk about teleportation of the Zoalords in another thread. Those who clearly can are : - Alkamphel - Cabral Khan - Yentsui - The Black Knight Those who seems to be unable to : - Shin (flyed to help Purgstall) - Purgstall (flyed to meet the Gigantic) - Balcus (escaped the arizona base thanks to yentsui) - Guyot (escaped from Alkanphel, simply running) Not sure : All the others... BUT How did all the zoalords appear at the top of Relic Point in book 08 ??? They appear in a big thunderbolt, just like they came for the sky... Do they used an unknown power of Purgstall ?? I don't think that Alkanphel made them appear here. He was fighting Guyot. Any ide…

Can you believe the USA is wanting to colonize Mars in 25-30 years? And they say their going to start sending people in 2025? 200,000 people wan' t to leave their families behind and sit for 2 years in a Mission Lander, Nasa's new space shuttle just to go to a permanent vanguard Mars colony. I have one word for that. Stupid.Its suicide. You can't do jack sh*t on Mars. What do they plan to do when they go to their little Mars Station that sits on red rocks? What then? Go outside? What if something terrible happens like some sort of devastating storm that destroys the colony's life support systems? Wait, we see the president on CNN or NBC issuing some sort of apology f…

This may be a stupid topic, but it goes along with a fan fic that I've been working on that barrows from the world of the Twilight Saga and the universe of Bio-Booster Armor Guyver, and is meant to be a tribute to both of those works. One of the things that I've been wondering about is how Guyver creatures would stand up to Twilight creatures--vampires, shape-shifting wolves and vampire hybrids namely. For those of you who are out of the loop with the Twilight Saga, Twilight vampires don't have the traditional vampire weaknesses--no stake though the heart, now dying in sunlight, no dying in Holy Water, none of the stuff that James Rolfe describes in one of the AV…

Theres been a discussion on xmen and the Guyver suit and how they would/could interact.... its made me think about how the Guyver actually interacts with the human body... Seeing as the Guyver is a 'human body instant remodelling system' that means that it 'remodels' or restructures the human body fundamentally at a cellular level, we know this in that it restructures the DNA to strengthen the muscles, bones, heart and eyes... it also interacts with the human body by degenerating the lungs and other internal organs. i didnt realise that the Guyver totally restructered Shos body... so does that mean the only thing that remains of Sho when he bioboosts are his brain, deg…

Do you think that evolution is real, and that we evolved from water, or apes, or that we came from the same family tree as apes Ryuki? Because I thought we were created by aliens, to be the bases for other bio-weapons. lol

philosophically, you most certainly can argue with that. the uranus did shape and guide the development of life on earth. but to what degree? some aspects of humanity are certainly meeting the requirements of the creators goals, but there are many facets to the nature of humanity. not all of them are completely about what the creators wanted. for a race of beings that were supposed to be weapons, humans are surely capable of an awful lot of compassion. also, consider that guyver is meant to express the traits of the host and expand them. what happens with a human host? the host is freed from the control of the creators. is this a hint towards humans true purp…

So those not in the know, I recently went out with a 16yr old girl. Shortly after getting to 1st base I began to think heavily on what chemistry might be brewing. You see, I'm 20 and she is 16. The U.S.A's Law of Consent states that anyone under the age of 18 cannot give legal consent to sexual activities and any violation of these activities can result in a statutory rape felony charge. Now things got a little serious between me and the 16yr old (We just made out a little don't worry) and a part of me wants to pursue the relationship further...but I know the consequence to that and that consequence is JAIL. So 3 options came to my mind as I drove home to my apartment…

Yeah, I know I haven't been around in a long time. But, this is a question that's been bugging me. Now, due to the difference of laws in different universes, some beings show a potential to withstand the weapons of a Guyver Unit. So, I want to bring some of my questions up to get some opinions. If U have a question that you would like answered, feel free to use this thread for it, as long as it relates to the topic at hand. And I put this in the Science section due to how science might play a role in some of these answers. Question 1 In relation to DC Comics, could a Guyver's Megasmasher or even a Giga Smasher vaporize Superman, Supergirl and/or Bizarro? …

Ok, so before i begin talking, i want to first say, if you are religious, I’m not challenging what you believe as part of your religion. I'm not saying there is no God, and I’m not saying you should believe so either. Now, this is kinda long, but i feel there’s a huge area of discussion here, so please bear with me. So the topic is pretty self-explanatory, how do God and the Big Bang work with one another, or does one disprove the other. Some of you might know that last Sunday Discovery channel had a new show on called Curiosity that talked about this very topic. After watching it, it raised some questions in me that I’ve thought about before, but now have a little mor…

I have been disputing the decimal system in my head for a while... I may have spoken to others about it once in a while, but It is always bugging me... It is stupid. 10 does not divide evenly. it goes like this - 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, 0.3125, 0.15625 ......... and so on, it's absolutely ridiculous.. why on earth we are still stuck in this senseless system is beyond my sense of reasoning. of course a better system has been invented and is used for some things. I actually devised a similar system myself before i actually realised that some clever guy had already done it. it stands to reason. to figure it out you take the base number - 1, then double it …

i have used the below quote from here http://www.japan-legend.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1425 as it sparked this thought for a topic... I never thought the exceed idea wouldnt go down too well with other people, i like the idea of a 52metre Guyver ( going back to an earlier discussion in the science lab that means a 52 m Sho!) .... i think the mass used to create the exceed would have just been an increased energy intake ( converted to mass) from the boost dimension right?? so theoretically depending on the energy potential of the boost dimension we could end up with a Galactus sized Guyver - Guyver C.E.R.G - Convienient Exceedingly Ridiculoulsy Ginormous where …

so as not to go on i started this from http://www.japan-legend.com/forum/index.ph...amp;#entry32200 it would be rude of me not to comment on this as i used to be a believer in the 2012 world goes bye bye theory...i say used to as i did literally think that the winter solstice on 2012 would be clocking out time for all of us... but more i looked into to things i really do think that this end of the world is just like a lot of esoteric things - metaphorical. 2012 date stems from the mayan calendar - and the Mayans according to some ascended as a community to a higher plane of exsistence. ( or literally another planet in a near galaxy!?)... maybe this is what will happen…

Lets discuss about fear of technology... I think Technophobia is a normal reaction especially when you find that your future job is about to be replaced by a tin man or something. It may also remind us not to make machines so smart.

Rather then simply cutting a opponent the high frequency spear could supposedly cause bodies to disintegrate, I wanted to know, what made this weapon different from other high frequency weapons, was it because it impaled rather then cut or is it something else?
