i got nothin

All the topics that I listed still interest. The one I would pick to research is biofuels. The main reason for this is because it will be easy to find information on it. Also it is a very complex and important subject. Not so much complex on the side of creating biofuels but on the economic part involved. In order for the fuel to change from gasoline to say hydrogen all of the gas stations would have to be converted. The price for this is billions. You would have to change the intire infristructure for the fuel comporations. So in order for this change to take place gas would have to reach the price where no one could afford it.

Most of the topics I read are interesting but the ones that really grab my attention are ways to save the earth and studying other planets. Finding new ways to do things without harming the world is becoming more and more important, but sadly some powerful corporations are putting blocks on these studies. Studying other planets could at some point be critical for two reasons. First, we may not bbe able to fix our plaent and have to desert earth and move on. Second, The global population could potentially become to high for the earth to support us. With each medical achievment we are able to safe more and more human lifes. This is could thing but at the same time it will eventually lead to overpopulation. The earth can only support so many people.

All of these topics interest me and are areas that constantly being explored. One of the more prominent issues is biofeuls. The airlines are starting to feel the pressure and are looking into hydrogen as a fuel source. The more advanced projects involve building hydrogen hyper jets. Modern day jets are also getting very close to being outdated by scramjets. These jets will have the ability to travel from New York to London in two hours. At the moment though these planes have lasted for very little time in the air but they are getting very close. They are useing new technology in these jets that uses air as a fuel source in a way. Genetics in general is a very vast subject, but a specific interest of mine is changing the genetic code of bacteria to help humans. This is being tested for used from dental hygene to curing cancer. Neuroscience is also very complex. What interests me the most is the study on fear. How part of our brain overrides the logical part to create fear. All of these subject are things that interest me and that I keep an eye on.

There will always be people that just want to discover something for the sake of it. Although this might not be the best use of thier time, it is not a bad thing. I don't have a problem with the thier methods as long as what they do isn't destructive. It is always good to know about the world around you. Even though some of thier random discoveries might not seem important, they are another peice to the puzzle.
Also, some of thier discoveries turn out to be very useful or profitable. There is always someone that thinks what are you are reasearching is pointless. I mean come on there had to have been a group of people that thought it was silly to mess with sound. But without those people who took a personal interest in it we wouldn't have phones. Some might argue this is a novelty and has no real purpose. On some levels that is true, but a means of communicating over vast distances quckly brought our world closer together(once again this is debateable about wether it is good or not). I personally don't look down on scientists who reasearch seemingly worthless things. I mean who knows what important discover could be hidden in the oddest place.

I have enjoyed this class more than previous science classess because everyone is at the same level. I was always frustrated by people who wouldn't pay attention and then make the teacher explain it to them again. This constantly slowed the rest of the class down. In our chemistry class everyone is intellgent. This makes the conversations on what we are doing in class much more interesting. The people in our class also make it fun.
