Dr. Dennis and Joanne Bogdan - Pittsburgh, PA - Oct. 26, 2015
Thank you for an *Excellent* article - seems more reason to think humans are not natural meat eaters - after all, humans can't eat raw meat like cats and dogs (real meat eaters) - humans need to cook such food first - a relatively recent development in human history - seems early humans, instead of chasing after rabbits or digging up carrots, may have been more opportunistic - and may have gone from one berry patch to another - much like many other primates - in any case - Enjoy! :)

Thank you *very much* for your reply - you may [be] right of course - however, according to the 2015 film documentary, "The Dawn of Humanity", regarding the newly discovered hominid fossils of "Homo naledi", non-meat particles were found apparently, *but no meat particles*, in the pulverized dental calculus of the fossil remains - also see Wikipedia => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_of_Humanity - in any regards - Thanks again for your reply - and - Enjoy! :)

Thank you for your interest - yes - agreed - seems Amanda Henry (of the Max Planck Institute) comments in the "Dawn of Humanity" 2015 PBS film documentary (at about 46 min/114 min) about the results of her dental calculus studies re "Homo naledi" - apparently, *no meat food particles* were found - this material may be too new to be published at the moment - nonetheless, a related (better?) source may be the following => Henry, A., Brooks, A., & Piperno, D. (2010) Microfossils in calculus demonstrate consumption of plants and cooked foods in Neanderthal diets (Shanidar III, Iraq; Spy I and II, Belgium). Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1016868108 - in any case - hope this helps in some way - Enjoy! :)

CORRECTION: Seems that in the 2015 PBS film documentary "Dawn of Humanity" , primarily about the discovery and excavation of "Homo naledi" fossils, diet studies re dental calculus by Amanda Henry may not have been done on "Homo naledi" fossils after all, but on the fossils of another hominid, "Australopithecus sediba", instead. If interested, additional related information may be found in the script of the film documentary at the following => https://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=nova-1974&episode=s43e01

Dr. Dennis and Joanne Bogdan - Pittsburgh, PA - June 5, 2015
Thank you for an excellent article - yes, improved privacy protections and related seem the better road I would think - and this may be realized - at least to some extent - and at least in theory - however - in practice, the world of the internet may continue to be anything but private - and less privacy may reappear in some other form - after all, Scott McNealy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, is well known for the following: [in the age of the internet] "You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it." - in any case - Thanks again for the article - and - Enjoy! :)

Thank you for an Excellent article - Yes - a spacecraft landing on an astronomical object, Comet 67P, going 84,000 miles an hour ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_67P ), is quite an accomplishment - however - for perspective - seems that airplanes routinely land on an astronomical object, spaceship planet Earth, going much, much faster - nearly 2 million miles an hour according to astronomers => http://www.astrosociety.org/edu/publications/tnl/71/howfast.html - in any case - Thanks again for the Excellent article - and - Enjoy! :)

C.Blacksmith - Spain - Nov. 13, 2014
Speed is not an absolute measure. Planet Earth has a relative speed of 0 for airplanes (referring to its original position, the runway). 84,000 miles an hour is the relative speed of Comet_67P refering to Rosetta's original position.
Three big diferences: - the acceleration process (which lasts 10 years) - the distance (rendezvousing with the comet required travelling a cumulative distance of over 6.4 billion kilometres.) - The automation (It will take the radio signals from the transmitter on Rosetta 28 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth, and the same to return to rosetta)

FWIW - Thank you for an excellent article about testosterone and the possible adverse effects of testosterone replacement treatment (TRT) - besides the "New England Journal of Medicine" article (July 8, 2010) noted in the article ( at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20592293 ), seems there may be other relevant studies reported in the responsible medical literature as well, including the "Journal of the American Medical Association" (November 6, 2013 - at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24193080 ) and "PLoS One" (January 29, 2014 - at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24489673 ) - if interested, Wikipedia may have even more information about testosterone and TRT at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testosterone - in any case - Enjoy! :) Dr. Dennis Bogdan

Dr. Dennis and Joanne Bogdan - Pittsburgh, PA - Nov. 28, 2012
Excellent Article - My Present Thinking (some supported in the responsible scientific literature) About Life-Forms:
01. Life, At It’s Most Basic Level, Is A Chemical That Can Reproduce Itself.
02. The Starting Materials Related To Reproducible Chemicals Seem To Be *Everywhere* In The Universe.
03. Some Of These Materials May Begin Reproducing And Settle Wherever Possible In The Universe.
04. On Planet Earth At Least, All Known Life-Forms Came From *One Single* Ancestor About 3.5 Billion Years Ago.
05. All Known Life-Forms Are The *Very Same* Reproducible Chemical, With Astronomical Variation.
06. The "Purpose Of Life" Is The Same For *All* Life-Forms: To Transfer Genetic Information Into The "Next Generation."
07. All Life-Forms May Have "Intelligence", A Possible Measure Of Cleverness In Successfully Adapting To A Host Environment, But To Varying Degrees (And In Varying Forms?).
08. There May Be Many Technically Clever Life-Forms In The Universe - Many Such Life-Forms May Be Present In The Universe At The Moment - Or - In Times Past - But Since Space Is So Widespread And Time Is So Wideranging - Such Technically Clever Life-Forms May Not Ever Know Of Each Other.
09. Overall - Life-Forms Are "Star Stuff" Emerging From The Midst Of Time And Space At The Very Beginning - And Then - A Return At The Very End? - Or - In The Case Of The "Immortal Jellyfish" - A Return To The Very Beginning?

Thanks For Your Comments – Seems Your Proposal Is That The Universe Did NOT Come From “Nothing” – But From “Something” (“Chaos” and/or “Fluctuations”) Instead – Is This Type Of “Somethingness” *Always* Present? – And Related Perhaps – Is True Absolute “Nothingness” *Always* NOT Present? – In Any Case – Thanks For Your Comments – And – Enjoy!

Hawking: “Because there is a law like gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.” Smith: “…explanation of the creation of a universe from literally nothing subject to the laws of quantum mechanics.” Smith: “This is what physicists mean by “nothing”. Nonexistent space-time, subject to the laws of quantum mechanics.” Yes, But Are These Wordings *Really* Describing “Absolute Nothingness” As Noted (or implied?) – Or Something *Less* (or more?) Than “Absolute Nothingness” – After All, Conditions Are Noted (“law of gravity,” “laws of quantum mechanics,” and the like) As, Perhaps, Pre-Existing(?) When Discussing “Absolute Nothingness” – Wouldn’t “Absolute Nothingness” Be Entirely Un-Conditional, And Without Such Pre-Existing (original/initial/apriori?) Conditions Also? – If Not, Aren’t Such Noted Conditions “Something”? – And Maybe, Require An Explanation Of Their Beginnings From True “Absolute Nothingness” As Well? In Any Case – Enjoy!
COMMENT # 57. Dr. Dennis Bogdan Says: - August 7th, 2011 at 8:13 am
This is easy to solve. Nothing is unstable. Since its ‘nothing’ there is nothing to confine what can and will arise from it. Anything can come out of nothing. So this nothingness quantumagically fluctuated and God came out of it and then decided to create the Universe as we see it. @gnome – Thanks For Your Comments – *Really* Enjoyed Your “quantumagical fluctuated” Phrasing – Nonetheless, Even Positing “Nothing is unstable” May Be Setting A Condition (or property of sorts?) And Perhaps, May Need Some Explaining? – Seems That Descriptions Of “Nothing,” Even Those Noted Earlier In This Blog-Thread (by Smith/Guth/Vilenkin) As “Absolute Nothingness,” Actually Contains “Something” (noted or implied) (ie, “law of gravity,” “laws of quantum mechanics,” “quantum gravity,” “fluctuations,” “chaos,” “low/high entropy,” etc) Instead – The “Spontaneous Creation” Of “Something” From “Nothing” To, In Hawking’s Poetic Phrasing, “light the blue touch paper and set The universe going” Seems To Be Getting A Bit “curiouser and curiouser”? – In Any Case – Thanks Again – And – Enjoy!

*** Science: TRAVEL TO STARS IS A QUIXOTIC EFFORT? (nyt-20090610-a/b/c).[111]

Dr. Dennis Bogdan June 11, 2009 · 12:40 pm Excellent Essay about a fascinating subject.
Since there may be more stars than there are grains of sand on planet earth (//tinyurl.com/drb-stars) and since some of the relatively few stars studied so far seem to be associated with exo-planets of one sort or another, it seems reasonable to me (at least at the moment) that a certain number of stars may be associated with earth-like exo-planets in fact – of these, a certain number may even occupy a “habitable zone” and support life-forms of some sort – of these, a certain number may even contain clever life-forms, much like ourselves, perhaps. A possibility – very, very remote perhaps – but a possibility nonetheless.
That said —
Actually “connecting-up” with such life-forms, if any, might be quite a challenge – after all, the distances between worlds is really, really enormous. According to my calculations (//tinyurl.com/drb-calc), a space ship traveling 60,000 mph, considerably faster than any human endeavor at the moment, would take about 50,000 years to reach the nearest star beyond our solar system. [Note: A Project Orion-type propulsion system (//tinyurl.com/drb-orion) might make the interstellar journey somewhat shorter – but considerable journey times might be expected to be involved in any regards.]
All in all, a quixote quest of sorts?

*** Science: HUMANKIND'S "PROGRESS" (pgh-20081208-a/b/c).[113]

Humankind's 'progress' - TRIBUNE-REVIEW | Monday, Dec. 8, 2008 12:00 a.m.
I greatly enjoyed Dimitri Vassilaros' column " Shop till you drop " (Nov. 28 and PghTrib.com), which suggested that "wanting more" encourages "progress." Yes, but ... Apparently, for about 6 million years, mankind was confined to a relatively small area (northeastern Africa) of planet Earth. About 50,000 years ago, mankind seems to have wandered to other areas -- mostly to places that are colder. Mankind was able to survive these colder, less-hospitable climates by being clever -- it would seem. Currently mankind is planning, by again being clever, to wander out from Earth to the Moon, Mars and beyond -- mostly to places that are even more cold and even less hospitable. But is this march into the cold and the inhospitable "progress?" Has "wanting more" duped mankind into a colder, less-hospitable future• Are humans bright or are humans just naturally not very bright after all -- at least in terms of the overall scheme of nature and the universe?

*** Science: HUMANS ARE BEST IN THE UNIVERSE? (nyt-20080617-a/b/c).Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

"Excellent Article – fascinating subject – just wondering – if these asexual bdelloid rotifer life-forms are really able to be thoroughly dried-up (“desiccated” as noted), and survive successfully in a completely waterless state (“suspended animation” as noted), and then later be fully reconstituted with water or the like, could they also be sufficiently resilient (and hardy), as a dried-up (dust-like?) life-form, to be worthy space-travelers of sorts and travel among the stars, via comets and meteorites perhaps, seeding the universe? Can the life-forms presently on our planet be the evolved descendants of these, or similar, space-traveling dust-like, waterless life-forms, settling on our planet billions of years ago? Afterall, the earliest evidences of life on our planet are apparently the fossilized remains of very, very simple life-forms. Maybe life on our planet, rather than having a very special (and exclusive?) beginning here on our planet, was the result of dust-like, waterless life-forms falling from the stars instead?
"On a somewhat related matter – could the search for water (as a way of discovering life-forms) on the Planet Mars with the Phoenix Lander be too limiting since there may be life-forms that can, apparently, survive quite successfully without any water whatsoever?
"In any case, just a few thoughts.
"Incidently, and if interested, a similar discussion, with somewhat different hardy (and resilient?) simple life-forms, may be found at the following: http://drbogdan.livejournal.com/7419.html.

* Art: True *State of the ART* in Erotic Films? - Review (IMDb-19990617).[116]
Zazel: Philip Mond's Scent of Love (1997 Video) - 10/10

"Zazel" may be the true "State of the ART" in erotic films at the moment. 17 June 1999 As far as I can tell, "Zazel" represents the true "State of the ART" in erotic films at the moment. The film may be better than most, if not all, mainstream art films. In fact, the film is so artistically well-done and beautiful, I believe this film should be exhibited in some way (appropriately of course) in a high-quality art museum! According to my present understanding, this film was one of the first erotic films to be released in the new High Tech DVD Video LaserDisc format. The film is very impressive with lots of artsy stuff and high-fashion models as well as quality erotic settings and goings-on - everything about this film is first-class including the hi-fi stereo background music. A Highly Recommended View (but perhaps not for all tastes or for those who might find erotic material, even that which is very well-done and meritorious, objectionable for some reason)!

Williamsport Sun-Gazette - Tuesday, September 10, 1974
CONFIDENTIAL SURVEY QUESTIONED
Editor, Sun-Gazette:
"Confidential" information is presently (Sept. 4-Oct. 18, 1974) being sought of 1,800 randomly-selected individuals residing in Clinton and Lycoming Counties with the stated "important" aim "to help governmental organizations in their planning of programs and services for citizens."
"The study is conducted by the Pennsylvania State University Field Research Laboratories and sponsored by the Pennsylvania State Department of Public Welfare. Information requested includes medical, employment, financial and family histories of the willing respondent.
Although revealing such information to those qualified may be necessary for personal benefit with regard to reliable medical diagnosis, tax collection, job placement or marriage/family counseling. It is the opinion of this writer that such information may be unnecessary for the stated aim of the welfare study.
What appears to be truly sought by such a study are opinions and suggestions from interested individuals on how best to improve the present govermental handling of the welfare service. There are ways in which this may be performed without arousing unfavorable public opinion. One possibility is that specific welfare problems be defined, published in a public record, such as a newspaper, with the request that those readers interested may wish to respond with specific solutions. Another possibility is that questionaires, if essential, be sent to individuals and returned by willing participants in some anonymous manner.
One sure way to arouse unfavorable opinions among the public would appear to be to conduct a general study with a broad objective into the private affairs of known individuals which does not clearly relate to the stated aim of the study.
Furthermore, the cost to the taxpayers of the welfare study in question, involving over 70 paid interviewers, instructors, computer time and whatnot, may be better spent to arrive at answers to welfare problems in a more favorable (open or anonymous) manner.

    Thanks For Your Comments – Seems Your Proposal Is That The Universe Did NOT Come From “Nothing” – But From “Something” (“Chaos” and/or “Fluctuations”) Instead – Is This Type Of “Somethingness” *Always* Present? – And Related Perhaps – Is True Absolute “Nothingness” *Always* NOT Present? – In Any Case – Thanks For Your Comments – And – Enjoy!
    COMMENT # 53. Dr. Dennis Bogdan Says: - August 6th, 2011 at 1:50 pm
    Hawking: “Because there is a law like gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.” Smith: “…explanation of the creation of a universe from literally nothing subject to the laws of quantum mechanics.” Smith: “This is what physicists mean by “nothing”. Nonexistent space-time, subject to the laws of quantum mechanics.” Yes, But Are These Wordings *Really* Describing “Absolute Nothingness” As Noted (or implied?) – Or Something *Less* (or more?) Than “Absolute Nothingness” – After All, Conditions Are Noted (“law of gravity,” “laws of quantum mechanics,” and the like) As, Perhaps, Pre-Existing(?) When Discussing “Absolute Nothingness” – Wouldn’t “Absolute Nothingness” Be Entirely Un-Conditional, And Without Such Pre-Existing (original/initial/apriori?) Conditions Also? – If Not, Aren’t Such Noted Conditions “Something”? – And Maybe, Require An Explanation Of Their Beginnings From True “Absolute Nothingness” As Well? In Any Case – Enjoy!
    COMMENT # 57. Dr. Dennis Bogdan Says: - August 7th, 2011 at 8:13 am
    This is easy to solve. Nothing is unstable. Since its ‘nothing’ there is nothing to confine what can and will arise from it. Anything can come out of nothing. So this nothingness quantumagically fluctuated and God came out of it and then decided to create the Universe as we see it. @gnome – Thanks For Your Comments – *Really* Enjoyed Your “quantumagical fluctuated” Phrasing – Nonetheless, Even Positing “Nothing is unstable” May Be Setting A Condition (or property of sorts?) And Perhaps, May Need Some Explaining? – Seems That Descriptions Of “Nothing,” Even Those Noted Earlier In This Blog-Thread (by Smith/Guth/Vilenkin) As “Absolute Nothingness,” Actually Contains “Something” (noted or implied) (ie, “law of gravity,” “laws of quantum mechanics,” “quantum gravity,” “fluctuations,” “chaos,” “low/high entropy,” etc) Instead – The “Spontaneous Creation” Of “Something” From “Nothing” To, In Hawking’s Poetic Phrasing, “light the blue touch paper and set The universe going” Seems To Be Getting A Bit “curiouser and curiouser”? – In Any Case – Thanks Again – And – Enjoy!
    COMMENT # 60. Dr. Dennis Bogdan Says: - August 7th, 2011 at 9:01 pm
    @gnome – Thanks For Your Latest Comments – I *Entirely* Agree With Your Thinking – Also, I Was Well Aware, And *Thoroughly Enjoyed*, Your Earlier Tongue-In-Cheek Statements But, Nonetheless, Took The Occasion To Try And Add A Bit More To The Main Discussion – Seems We’re *Very* Similar In Our Viewpoints – Thanks Again For Your Comments – And – Enjoy!

    CONFIDENTIAL SURVEY QUESTIONED
    Editor, Sun-Gazette:
    "Confidential" information is presently (Sept. 4-Oct. 18, 1974) being sought of 1,800 randomly-selected individuals residing in Clinton and Lycoming Counties with the stated "important" aim "to help governmental organizations in their planning of programs and services for citizens."
    "The study is conducted by the Pennsylvania State University Field Research Laboratories and sponsored by the Pennsylvania State Department of Public Welfare. Information requested includes medical, employment, financial and family histories of the willing respondent.
    Although revealing such information to those qualified may be necessary for personal benefit with regard to reliable medical diagnosis, tax collection, job placement or marriage/family counseling. It is the opinion of this writer that such information may be unnecessary for the stated aim of the welfare study.
    What appears to be truly sought by such a study are opinions and suggestions from interested individuals on how best to improve the present govermental handling of the welfare service. There are ways in which this may be performed without arousing unfavorable public opinion. One possibility is that specific welfare problems be defined, published in a public record, such as a newspaper, with the request that those readers interested may wish to respond with specific solutions. Another possibility is that questionaires, if essential, be sent to individuals and returned by willing participants in some anonymous manner.
    One sure way to arouse unfavorable opinions among the public would appear to be to conduct a general study with a broad objective into the private affairs of known individuals which does not clearly relate to the stated aim of the study.
    Furthermore, the cost to the taxpayers of the welfare study in question, involving over 70 paid interviewers, instructors, computer time and whatnot, may be better spent to arrive at answers to welfare problems in a more favorable (open or anonymous) manner.
