Dear Mike the Teacher....

[DiabloSammich]

Mike the Teach on Ron and Fez the other day made me really wish I had the guy sitting next to me so I could have him explain all of life's mysteries.
I hope this thread will serve as a catch-all of questions you guys would like to ask Mike if you had the chance. The idea being hopefully Mike would come through and answer whatever he could the best he could.

So here goes... Mike, why haven't we landed on the moon since the sixties? Have we learned everything we could from the moon already?

(I didn't say they would be good questions...)

[Team_Ramrod]

Mike,

Does your hansomely deep voice help you score more chicks than the average man?

Cause Do_g_asso (I can't say who) PM'd me the other day saying he'd give you a gummer if you were to hum at a low, constant volume the entire time.

Secondly, are there any excersises I can to that would assist in deepening my voice?

[TooLowBrow]

dear mizzle the tizzle,
uh, mr black, if i was 16, female and curious, what would you do?:wub:

[thejives]

Dear Mike the Teacher,

Do you think nuclear energy is a good idea?
Some smart people do. But when they say that, they say the key is that science will figure out what to do with the nuclear waste. Will science ever figure that out?

Love,
thejives

youre missing either another g or another space

[Mike Teacher]

Wow I've never seen this before. Weird. Maybe I should respond.

A little late, huh?

Soooooory.

Feel free to resurrect this; ask the Burning Question.

Thats what Ron was looking for, not any Question, but a Burning Question

How many chromosomes does a fly have = non-burning

How high is up? = burning

[sailor]

what are the prospects for colonizing beyond the earth? what are the likely targets/dates?

[sr71blackbird]

Does the Earth lose moisture to space?
(aside from water that went up on space ships)

I really wanted to get to this but only mentioned it briefly.

The best documentary on any subject in years is about this, and its just out on DVD.

In The Shadow of the Moon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0925248/)

There are two trailers you can watch from that page

=

The documentary reminds us that between 1968 and 1972 humans went to another world, 12 men walked on it. And noboby knows who they are or what they did.

40 years is a long time, too long, most kids cant name any astronaut, but there was a time...

These Moonwalkers [the documentray has no voice overs; every voice is someone who went to the moon] can finally talk about how insane the whole thing was, how improbable it was in the insanity of 1968.

These guys have essentially never been second at anything in their life. But only a couple come off as arrogant, most of them have an awesome 'Wow! Can you believe what we did!' memory of the moon, and what they describe is surreal.

Example: Astronaut Mike Collins reads the speech, supressed/hidden for years, made for Nixon in case Neil and Buzz died. Something like 'Fate has determined that the men who Came In Peace for all mankind shall Rest in Peace on the moon for all eternity....' Thats weird.

Get this. Rent this. I've watched it five times in three days.

[DOHO@HOME]

Mike you are great guest and not one of those guys who acts like the know it all.
You should do a show every month or so.:thumbup:
Do you think we will ever set up a space station on the moon and or be able to get the space program back in check?

[Matty from the Nati]

I smell a SNV show...not an hour long podcast.

What do you guys think?

[MichiganJim]

Dear Mike the Teach -

I enjoyed most of your segment, but...

That study where you suggested Themerosal did not have anything to do with Autism has been challenged a number of times.

Just two weeks ago there was a lawsuit settled where vaccinations WERE determined to be the cause of this young girls autism.

While it does not say all autism is caused by vaccinations it does suggest a causal relationship and means that we really need to throw a ton of research money at this epidemic.

One Dr suggested that it may not be the themerosal (which contains Mercury which is the real problem) itself that triggers the autism but that perhaps the fact that we now give babies up to SEVEN vaccines at one appointment. The only reason we do this is convenience for the parent and the Dr.

Dave and Casey - Do your research - certanly have the baby vaccinated BUT consider seperating the vaccines.

By the way - " Stupid Imus " (Ron's words) has been in the forefront of this issue for YEARS. To the point that he drives listeners crazy.

Oh yeah. One of the main points yesterday was while stuff may seem safe now, we dont know what it does to us over 50 years, coz most of these drugs havent even been around that long.

Vaccines have always been a balance between the dangers of the vaccine and the dangers of what its trying to fight. For polio; we just about wiped it off the earth, but some did get Polio from the vaccine.

I'm torn on the issue, torn on most science issues becaise its very difficult to find unbiased research, especially on the web. Most sites with data have an agenda, for better or worse.

You are so right; check the stuff out.

And as for autism, this months Wired has a link to an article that Ron was really fascinated about.

YouTube video: You see an austistic woman, doing 'austistic' things, for about three minutes, and then...

a Translation begins. This lady with autism shot the movie, narrated it using speech synthesis, and tells the world exactly and prescisely what is going on with her, and tells us the only problem is us. We dont get them. Unreal.

Dear Mike the Teacher,
I constantly think about this one. How is it that child can pick up the language spoken around him or her within a few years of life but it's difficult for adult to understand and speak a second language?

[Melissa the Accountant]

Mike,

I enjoyed your appearance on the show yesterday. You were a really entertaining guest! To play devil's advocate to MichiganJim, I just wanted to say I was pleasantly surprised when you acknowledged that there is not a demonstrated causal link between vaccination and autism. Sweden is a very compelling example for the argument that thimerosal has nothing to do with autism. A lot of anti-vaccination advocates point to autism-related statistics, which I don't really think are particularly reliable. They probably are by now, but from a historical perspective, the disease hasn't existed as a diagnosis for all that long at this point, and in the earlier parts of the 20th century, any kind of mental illness was frequently hushed up, or the person was institutionalized. Families didn't like to let on that they had a mentally disabled person in the family. In addition, doctors did not have nearly the expertise and familiarity with diagnosing conditions such as autism at the time. Often, patients were merely labeled mentally retarded and that was the end of it. So while there is some value in interpreting statistics, we should bear in mind that the true historical incidence may be much higher than the figures suggest.

As for the settlement, the government did not actually conclude that the vaccinations caused the child's autism. If you read the fine print, the court simply allowed that the combination of vaccines may have aggravated a pre-existing mitochondrial disorder. Some of the resulting symptoms manifested in a way similar to autism. This is not the same as saying that the child actually is autistic, or that autism is caused by vaccines. The "may have" is significant as well. More than likely, it was easier to settle than to embark on a prolonged legal battle. It is not a sign of defeat and that the anti-vaccination advocates are right, it is just correct and ethical that on the isolated cases in which vaccination-related injury occurs, the injured parties should be acknowledged and compensated when it does happen.

While I'll admit the issue is a personal one for me (I have an autistic brother), the anti-vaccination movement really disturbs me. While vaccines do occasionally cause harm, it clearly benefits the majority for us to inoculate our children against dangerous illnesses. I think it's much more dangerous to scare parents away from vaccination based on anecdotal evidence. However, we do know that since vaccines are disabled forms of the disease, they can cause harm. I think MichiganJim is smart to recommend taking vaccines one at a time, as they can aggravate other conditions, cause symptoms of the disease, or act differently in concert than they would on their own. Good advice, Jim.

Can you tell I have all my energy in the early morning?

Anyway Matty I'm not sure we know much at all about how we pick up ANY language, much less the second one, but yeah, seems kids can learn it no problem at all but once we reach a certian age that ability is lost. Weird.

Keep on rockin with the energy topic. I freakin loved physics in HS and loved it so much wanted to go college for it but my physics teacher never told us about careers and futures in physics and science so I never took it in college. Love the space-time topics!

I've also enumerated the pro's, con's and research here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle#Cattle_husbandry).

Tara Parker-Pope's blog at the NY Times, Well, ran a piece about that autism video recently. (http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/28/the-language-of-autism/) I must say that I found it intriguing, but haven't checked it out yet. (At the risk of diminishing such a great accomplishment, I can say that the blog post reminded me of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Mike, my 5 youngest cousins on my mother's side of the family have not been vaccinated partly because of the pervasive correlations between autism and vaccines with thimerosal in them. This is frequently a topic on TV medical and legal dramas because it's pervasive in certain areas due to parental anxieties and/or perceptions of religious requirements.

In my own family, I can understand the anxiety because I have anxiety about any children I might have...my grandmother was about my age when she had her 7th child, who is developmentally disabled. Some of my aunts have made a correlation between a medicine she took and my aunt's disability. My mother has made a correlation between my aunt's late delivery and her disability.

Whatever the case, I've made it a point to educate myself. If that means I have to sort through "crazy" POV's to get to information, and approach it with an open mind and my critical thinking skills, I think I will be OK.

[jonyrotn]

Mike, any idea what forces are at work within the oil industry and Governmant that won't allow already existing technology, that will completely do away with oil-based fuel products, to be marketed? In other words, are the developing scientists/engineers bought out or paid not to reveal such developments..Any info on this topic would be appreciated, it thoroughly intrigues me...Thanks Budday..

[weekapaugjz]

dear mike,

i read an article today about astronomers discovering methane gas on a planet 63 light years away. the article stated that methane along with water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide as the four molecules needed to support life. it got me wondering if it was possible for life to evolve without these substances. maybe life on this planet adapted to those molecules because they were present in earth's environment. is it possible for life to adapt to different conditions if presented. just because water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and methane are required for life on our planet, does it mean it has to apply to all life throughout the universe? or am i just retarded?

Sorry to hear about your brother, Mike. From what I understand the diagnosis of people with autism has gone up in recent years. Some automatically attribute that to something environmental, but it could simply be that we are better at testing for it, and/or the definition of what qualifies as autism has been expanded. Both of which I've heard are the case.

And I wouldn't let the fact that a case has been settled influence my opinion all that much. One of the biggest lawsuit settlements in history was the silicone breast implant case against Dow Chemical, and a few years later it was proven the science behind the plaintiffs case was bogus. The law often has little to do with science, its generally a matter of who hires the best lawyers. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a golf outing with OJ Simpson.

I have a BURNING HOT question OF NATIONAL IMPORT for you Mikey.

Why are we still importing oil? We keep hearing about all these great new clean technologies like hydrogen, wind, solar, wave technology, even alternate ways of creating grade 1 oil from garbage. Is it really a big corporate conspiracy as my left wing buddies keep trying to tell me, or is the science simply not there yet? Or is it still the cheapest option available, and its all just pure economics?

Bingo. This is what they call throwing the baby out with the bathwater. To put it into some rough numbers, you're trading a 1 in 500,000 chance of setting off autism a little earlier (which most likely still would have happened anyway) for a 1 in 500 chance your child gets a disease which could kill or cripple them.

It's good to be informed, but at the end of the day we really should leave medicine to the doctors.

Mojo is right; I am not the illuminati but fuck it I can dive in cluelessly...

Oil is still around because its powerful, cheap, and plentiful. We dont even have to make it; we just suck it up and process it. And we're getting better at finding it.

But were gonna run out; 2040 used to be my guess but I'd push that back now as to when the earth will leave the oil age behind.

For now, there's not enough reason for the companies to stop; certainly not enough outrage from the public, just the opposite, we just keep going to the pumps no matter how much it is, coz its still cheap, relative to anything else.

It will take a planetary revolution to completely stop oil and replace it with something can generate the same amount of power. Fusion might do it, but thats a whole nother page, and solar, wind, geothermal, are being developed but arent efficient enough yet to give oil a run.

In short; we have to want to replace oil. All of us, not just the people at the helm.

[Mike Teacher]

dear mike,

i read an article today about astronomers discovering methane gas on a planet 63 light years away. the article stated that methane along with water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide as the four molecules needed to support life. it got me wondering if it was possible for life to evolve without these substances. maybe life on this planet adapted to those molecules because they were present in earth's environment. is it possible for life to adapt to different conditions if presented. just because water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and methane are required for life on our planet, does it mean it has to apply to all life throughout the universe? or am i just retarded?

We only have this example of life, Earth life. Earth life looks very diff but its all the same 20 amino acids in the genetic code. 20 left handed aminos are the ingredients to make, essentially, any life on earth. Fucking amazing, that simplicity in nature.

But who knows? We hear carbon this and that. Why? [BORING CHEMISTRY ALERT]

[AS IF ALL OF THIS ISNT BONE CRUSHING BORING]

sorry

Carbon is like the ultimate lego block. You can build with it. It's got four places for other atoms to bond, it bonds wel with other atoms, and readily make chains of itself. So, complex molecules based on carbon are easily made by mother nature. Silicon has four also, so who knows...

the big four for earth are COHN, carbon oxygen hydrogen nitrogen; your carbon dioxide [CO2] water [H20] methane [CH4] ammonia [NH3] and a few thousand others can be made with just these four and a few other atoms; like 99%+ of chemicals known on earth.

Carbon is that ultimate lego block; build all the cool toys if you have enough.

That's essentially organic chem 100.000000000001. Hope its right. I hated organic chem.

=

Can earth like life evolve without these? no. Earth life IS these atoms. Earth is these atoms.

The weird substance is water. Thats the one we know we need. There plenty of life that can do fine without oxygen on earth. But for here, so far, no water, no life...

Hence the search for water on Mars/elsewhere. for life like ours, were betting, water's involved in their world somehow too.

I wish the aliens would let us explore Europa. But they were specific:

Attempt No landings Here.

You're so right Mike, this carbon shit has amazed me for years..How can one element be so dominant..Without it we're fucked..Not everyone looks at it that way but take away that single element and everything falls apart..

This is now my favorite thread..

[Gvac]

Hey Mike...is creativity a myth? That is, do you think people truly "create" or is it from the communal mind theory you and Ron hinted at?

I think we can all tell the difference between a truly amazing piece of art that seems divinely inspired versus one that seems contrived.

Thoughts?

Is it us playing the music or is the music playing us? Sound insane, but there isnt a musician out there who hasnt been in *that* state, where effort disappears, and the notes begin playing themselves. Sounds insane but you and any other musician out there will tell you, theres a place, and if you can get to it, you become the middleman, the conduit through which music makes itself audible. The music is playing the musician.

I have about another book on this but will stop here thank christ.

Just try and define music, or define art, and you'll get a phonebook of diff answers. Meaning, we really hardly know anything about it, at all.

Why do we need art in the first place? The universe isnt beautiful enough? Why the drive to create?

And yes! Why is *That* canvas with shitty blotches selling for $4 million while the stuff second graders do is thrown away at the end of the day? Is Jackson Pollack a master? Or a guy flingin paint around? What is *That* thing that differentiates it, or is it all bullshit, the Emporer has no clothes, and Pollack, et al are just some bullshit that we put on a pedestal?

I like modern art, but art that has little/no craft leaves me a bit wanting. Having said that, the drawings of a two year old, to me, are more fascinating then 90% of the shit in the galleries around the world. You cant deny the sincerity, the purpose, the drive of a kid creating. To watch that is to see the universe at work. Picasso [Van Gogh?] said his wish was to be able to paint as a child does.

Here's something you might like Mike. (http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/episodes/2006/04/21)

A radio show that takes a scientific look at the language of music, how music is all around us and we don't realize it, and how even the most lush arrangements can be broken down to very, very simple patterns. I'll warn you that it kind of ruined most popular music for me for a while, but made me appreciate jazz even more.

[sr71blackbird]

Mike, what do you think about David Talbots theory of electricity being the binding factor in the universe instead of gravity?

Do you think that plasma eruptions long ago influenced our ancestors and brought about awareness?

I wanted to call in SOOO badly when you were on....damn work!

And that's precisely what I meant with my question - I know exactly what you mean when you say the music is playing us. I must have about 40 riffs and half written songs in my catalog, and only a dozen fully completed ones. Those are the ones that wrote themselves. Literally.

I've sped home at 70mph while writing lyrics on a napkin from my glove compartment just so I could get to my guitar and get the song out before I forgot it. It appears out of nowhere.

Creepy stuff.

[Gvac]

One more question Mike, regarding your latest appearance on the show.

I found it to be an interesting dichotomy between the first and second half of the show. Ron and the staff spent the first half speaking about race and the difficulties we as humans seem to have in accepting those that differ from us. They wondered if whites, blacks, asians, etc. would ever be able to completely get along, and I must admit that sometimes it seems like the answer to that is 'no.'

Then when you came on, everyone seemed incredibly excited and eager about the possibility of life on other planets. They're practically dying to have contact with other life forms. Why do we think we'd be able to get along with them?

And do you think that sometimes we gloss over what's right in front of us in order to leap ahead?

[Snoogans]

And do you think that sometimes we gloss over what's right in front of us in order to leap ahead?
everyone does that. People miss shit everyday cause they are lookin ahead instead of just taking in everything around them
