Alright, just trying to tie up a few loose ends that I encounter in my studies.

1) In a cell, what causes vesicles, vacuoles, and other "stuff" to move in the cytoplasm? I'm looking for the cause of the force that gives them movement. Is it osmotic pressure? Electromagnetic forces?

Isn't this the will of God?

5) Similarly, what causes electric and magnetic forces/fields? I haven't completely finished the course, so perhaps it explains later. But in the first chapter on electric forces/fields, it explains it by saying "it SOMEHOW modifies the properties of space around it". Big lol. How does one electric point charge "know" the other is there?

They exchange particles, don't they?

How does one cause both an attractive and repulsive force? How does this "exchange" cause movement?

8) How much of a joke are these majors in uni?
-communications
-sociology
-anthropology (wtf, it should just be lumped in with sociology already)
-women's studies
-whatever ethnic studies (asian, latino, black)

[/ QUOTE ]

Science majors just don't get laid. That may be because they spend their evenings playing D&D and computer games but it might also be because chicks think that being sensitive is cooler than being a nerd.

Good answer.

That sentence doesn't make sense in so many ways it hurts to read it.

Horrible answer.
