interesting prediction. have you ever heard of the self-fulfilling prophecy? this means that when you make a prediction it actually comes true and my honest estimate is that about half of human behavior is influenced by SFP. Like you tell someone is a criminal and they become one. You tell someone they are not good in math they become bad in math and so on. That's why, even there is a chance of the world destructing itself, saying it is dangerous. Although, ignoring the danger is also dangerous, but there is no need to ignore the danger and acknowledging dangers while not making SFP's solves the problem.

Although, ofcourse, I don't know the source of your statement.

u mean "Attraction"? ive seen a great video called "Secrets of Attraction". SFP concepts sounds similar to it. u r attracted to the things which u feel and believe strongly in the inner mind. ur words, feelings and beliefs are heard by the universe and responds according to it. we call the universe as God. we have a saying in tamil "theethum nanrum peerar thara vaara" it means good and bad are not got from others. oops i think im offtopic...

khob pas, it looks like mike dareh ba zabooneh bi zabooni migeh miyad Ramin. Now all we need is for you to say you will try to come down, and we have a party, although Irvine isnt very alive, if you really want to party I am sure mike knows some good places in LA with lots of iroonis.

tell you the truth i dont know anyplaces with iroonies in la
maybe except the hooa shops in westwood
i just hangout with a group of close friends
and parties and bigger events are ussualy just perty much the same crowed. life for me its like being in a small town that has a lot of people but everyone knows everone else

i dono i think the iranian community in la is very to khodeshoon
thats why i like this forum so much it fills that void

Human-Chimpanzee differences are studied

BLOOMINGTON, IN, United States (UPI) -- A U.S. study suggests the genetic differences between chimpanzees and humans might be much more substantial than has been thought.

Scientists at Indiana University-Bloomington have determined approximately 6 percent of human and chimp genes are unique to each species, taking into account a fact other genetic studies do not -- the genes that aren`t there.

Indiana University computational biologist Matthew Hahn, who led the study with researcher Jeffery Demuth, said the study does not dispute the commonly reported 1.5 percent nucleotide-by-nucleotide difference between humans and chimps.

'Both estimates are correct in their own way,' Hahn said. 'It depends on what you`re asking. There isn`t a single, standard estimate of variation that incorporates all the ways humans, chimps and other animals can be genetically different from each other.'

The scientists also surveyed gene families common to both humans and chimps and observed in the human genome a significant increase in the duplication of genes that influence brain functions.

That, said Hahn, suggests duplication and loss of genes plays a bigger role in human evolution than changes within single genes.

The study appears in the inaugural issue of Public Library of Science ONE.
