>that's the reason that humans sweat, doesn't mean that's the reason all animals sweat. in fact, sweating as a method of heat dissipation is pretty uncommon. Care to name one that does it reliably other than humans and horses?
I was claiming that sweat is primarily used for heat dissipation, disagreeing with your apparent claim that sweat is often used for things other than heat dissipation. You are the only one who can give examples. :\

>no not really. the sweat part actually had very little to do with my point. the point was that claiming we needed 10000-15000 because of persistence hunting is ludicrous for various reasons. One of those reasons is that we prey only lasted for about 20 miles, which you found unbelievable and i chose to explain why it's not. Whatever the reason though, the fact remains we only needed about 20 miles, which isn't that energy intensive.
Sorry, but I wasn't arguing about anything like that. I think you are going too far back into the thread. We've been talking about sweat and nothing but sweat for several rounds now and I have nothing to say about anything else. Link to other posts if you want to argue about past topics more. :P

Much appreciated.

Hey /sci/, I was talking to a PHD physics student at a party yesterday and he tried to explain spontaneous creation to me. I think I got it, but he fried my brain a little. Can you explain it and help me to understand? He said something like:

In the beginning there was nothing, except gravity... kinda; there was the potential for gravity to act upon matter if matter were there? He explained how atoms are made of quarks, and quarks are comprised of liptons/hadrons and a range of other things.

With the hadron collider and CERN, we have proven that these tiny particles behave nothing like atoms, they can be paired with each other, Communicate at faster than the speed of light, and can pop into and out of existence. One did, and when it did we had spacetime. This initial particle was going faster than the speed of light, so broke down into a mini big bang, but not THE big bang.

As quarks were being formed there was an exponential increase in the rate at which these particles were popping into existence, and any outside a certain range of the matter now in existence, would be traveling faster than light and result in another mini big bang. This is also exponential, and these mini bangs spread like a Mexican wave from the calming epicentre (roughly where we are) and are still infinitely spreading like the edge of a ripple at edge of the universe… even though there is no edge? just an infinitely expanding universe, which itself is expanding as things drift further apart?
