    Can the genetics be modified in such a way that a person's sexual orientation

    Can the genes or their epigenetic switches be modified in such a way that a person's sexual orientation changes, and the change becomes inheritable? Hypothetically, if a genetically exclusively heterosexual male performs sexual activity with another male in the absence of a female partner to...

    Examples of when changing changing aperture in the same video clip?

    Thanks for your response. No, I didn't mean that. In a continuous shot, if you move from a scene to another with a different lighting condition, you may need an aperture change. I just came to know that changing the lighting condition itself can be another way to solve the problem. I have to...

    Could you please give me example of situations when changing the aperture ( that means the depth of field, and exposure, right? ) is necessary during shooting the same video clip?

    Pros and Cons of Canon 600D and Nikon D5200?

    Can somebody please suggest me which DSLR camera I should buy for video: Canon 600D ( T3i ) or Nikon D5200? I have seen lots of fantastic short films made with Canon 600D ( and Canon 60D which has basically the same sensor ), whereas only very few shot with Nikon D5200, but yet I find so many...

    Music If you put your two hands over two ears while listening to music .

    Thank you very much for answering. Yes, what I do is put my hands midway between flat and bowl-shaped, so that my hands are slightly arched, but still touches the external ear lightly. Or, I sometimes press my tragus against the external auditory meatus ( the canal that leads to the eardrum )...

    Music If you put your two hands over two ears while listening to music .

    If you put your two hands over two ears while listening to music, sounds of which frequency range will be more audible? When I listen to music, I notice that if I put my two hands over my two ears, some sounds become more audible than others. Please check it yourself. I don't know...

    Why is separation of earth and sky so common in different mythologies?

    Yes, that's a possibility, too. Like, the heaven they saw ( the lowest one ) always followed strict orders ( apart from those occasional comets, perhaps, which they interpreted as the wrath of gods ), whereas things on land were less predictable.

    Why is separation of earth and sky so common in different mythologies?

    I'm sorry, as my English is not good, but what I wanted to describe by saying" but why did this one have to be like this?" is just that every story should at least partially be based on some observations. I was trying to figure out what they observed that inspired them to make up mythologies...

    Why is separation of earth and sky so common in different mythologies?

    Thank you very much for pointing out an erroneous aspect of my reasoning. The idea that the myth of Genesis has to arise from the society in which Jesus was born may not be helpful to get the real picture. Studying geography or their society may not be helpful, if they were inspired by some...

    Why is separation of earth and sky so common in different mythologies?

    Sorry about my late reply. Though I replied to a later post by Simon Bridge, I waited to reply to your post, because so far your explanation ( "The separation of Earth and sky in creation myths is probably shakey, tentative groundwork in an attempt to explain gravity and buoyancy." ) seemed most...

    Why is separation of earth and sky so common in different mythologies?

    Thank you very much for pointing out an important thing I was not doing much. Trying to disprove my own hypothesis. I should do it more. About different versions of Egyptian mythologies. I was particularly talking about the one which starts with Nun (chaos), and then Atum ( the god that...

    Why is separation of earth and sky so common in different mythologies?

    Hahaha, you almost go me there. Thanks. However, I'm still not convinced since it's just reflection, not the original thing. For example, no fish swim in the sky.

    Why is separation of earth and sky so common in different mythologies?

    Yes, but Maoi and Chinese mythologies are more likely to have originated independently of Greek and nearby mythologies. My hypothesis would be: People thought Earth is the "natural place" of everything ( like Aristotle thought of "natural places." ) They thought so, because if you do not hold...

    Why is separation of earth and sky so common in different mythologies?

    But the two halves of an apple look more or less exactly similar, while no such thing between the sky and earth.
