The Smell Is the Most Important Sense - Felix Wang

You may think that smell compared to the others four senses; sight, taste, sound and touch is far less important than the the sense of smell. But you are very wrong. The human what is a human, what is it's purporse? The answer is simple to reproduce, to let the race live on. However inorder to arouse sexual desires, the smell is very important. Your spouse's natural body odor. Smells can invoke memories, sexually arouse people, or even drive you mad. Psychology professor Rachel Herz from Brown University in Rhode Island has spent 17 years studying the human sense of smell, finding it is the most emotionally evocative sense and the one most closely tied to mental health and happiness. She has commented on the fact that the front Australian rock band INXS may have been driven into deep depression after losing his sense of smell, which lead to the end of his life. Another case if of a woman who at 20 lost her sense of smell in car accident, she suffered not only depression, but also hard for her to be intimate with her husband . Taste is only bitter, salty, sour, sweet and umami or savory, all flavors come from smell, so without smell you can't taste the difference between an apple or pear. Smell is an important aspect of safety as if you can't smell gasoline or smoke you don't know when or where there is a fire and would stay in the room. With other sense you have no idea where the fire could be, if its not in opean view sight is off no use, by the time you do see it is too use less. Dogs are animals who have very limited sight as they don't see colour, however there is sense of smell is what makes them such an important roll in society. They track done drug smugglers, theifs using smell, in addtion war time dogs didn't use hearing to warn soilders in WWII, but the smell of the germans allowed them to save pointless confrontation which may have ended in the deaths of the soilders.
In a survy by 100 women, it is said that none of them would date a man that smells bad and this was ranked top among the list disregarding looks and everything else.

So what did we learn? To get a date you must smell GOOD! Now if that doesn't make it the most important, I don't know what does.

Did America Really Land on the Moon? - Felix

1)Logical consistency: Dr. David Groves is expert in photo and holigram anaylsis:
Further more he has these qulifications which I must say is supportive of his expertise.
PhD - BSc (Hons) Class I/Applied Physics.
PhD in Holographic Computer Measurement.
Chartered Physicist and a Member of the Insitute of Physics.
In addition to these the moon landings of america has been constantly accused of being faked at the start of the 21st century. Further more we are not talking about a someone does not know what he is talking about, this person is no amature, he is an expert. He was also able to gain and analyse one of the shoes of the astronoughts.
It's discovered by him from the photos that indeed there was an artificail light source, however the appo 11 did bring lights with them so where did it come from? Inaddition this scientist also manage to overthrow the view that the light came from a natural souce the sun, however as he explained on the video the brightness of the sun light reflected on the moon should be constant however, tiny rocks are not even lit and has massive shadows, proving once again that this could not have possibly been the real moon service.

2)Observational reliability I belieave this video has alot of observational reliablitity as we are shown images and evidence of what they belieave is faked on the pictures of the moon landing of apollo 11. Inaddtion to this they also give cameria views on minture made models of the apollo 11 and did tests to see if the picture matches the artfical lighting they have created on the model.

3)Awareness of value, judgments and propaganda - This maybe a british video, however briton is an ally of america and there is no need to disclaim such a unbelieavable thing in american history. However even the Americans them selves have a documentary on the apollo 11 being faked. To have so many documentaries on appollo being faked is interesting, and not only from other countries but from america itself.

4)Authority/ citation/ peer review - This video has strong and powerful authority as it is based upon the views of experts inaddtion using modern technology to analyise pictures taken. We have been show the the possible solutions that other have comed up with for faked lighting, however they have proved all them wrong now. Even using the most famous picture of the reflection in the viser they have proved that it did no come from a natural light and the camera was not in the correct position according to the picture.

5)Awareness of source, intention and audience - There is intension is to show us that through their expertise they have proved that pictures of moon landings have been staged. They may want to get fame or things by making things up however, they have gotten hold on some rare equipment like astronoughts shoes, specailzed computers that anaylize images. Like i said these people are not amatures they are expert photo analysis.

In conclusion, this video has powerful evidence and the source of which it came from is very solid. They show us pictures and solid evidence and techincal terms of techniques in photography. To sum it all up we have ask WHY HASN'T AMERICA EVER SENT ANOTHER TEAM TO THE MOON?

Climate Change - Is it really happening? - Harvir

Watch the documentary 'The Greenhouse Conspiracy'.

Global Warming is a theory put forward by scientists that the world's temperature is rapidly increasing, because humans are not taking care of their planet. There are several reasons which suggest that global warming is infact a hoax, and that the people promoting it have different motives than just 'saving life on earth'.

Firstly, the documentary puts forward the fact that the United Nations is using Global Warming to bring together a 'World Government'.

In addition, as we all know, Africa has been undergoing massive deforestation in the past decade, in an attempt to boost its economy. As a consequence, scientists have made up the idea of climate change to prevent Africa from doing this, so that it preserves some of the few great rainforests that are left on our planet.

It's also suggested that political leaders such as Margaret Thatcher are only emphasising the importance of acting against climate change because they want to lure environmentalist and green groups on their side.

In the past, scientific groups have had tremendous difficulty in presenting ideas to the world, because they simply don't have the funding to do so. As a result, they could be using global warming in order for them to solve their financial problems, by worrying and pleading to the public for help.

In conclusion, global warming is made up by scientists because they have several motives that the general population is unware of, and they're using a made up theory (global warming), in order to meet some of these motives.

Why taste is the most important sense - Harvir

Taste is the dominant sense because without taste, our mouth wouldn't be able to extract the flavor which originates from the food we eat. Therefore, we would just be eating the food, without appreciating all the wonderful ingredients which it posesses.

In addition, without taste, it's possible that we could die. This is because if organisims don't possess a taste sense, there is a significant chance that they could die of starvation, because someone or something would simply refuse to eat, because they don't enjoy doing it.

Moreover, it's scientifically proven that when someone is not eating, they suffer from severe stress and mental problems. This could lead to depression, and in worst case scenario, suicide.

Without taste, we wouldn't know whether we liked a particular food or not. This is important because if our body doesn't like something, yet we still eat it (which we would do if we didn't have a taste sense), our body would begin to undergo all sorts of dangerous chemical reactions. Furthermore, we wouldn't know when to stop eating (because we don't know how the food tastes like), so this could cause additional harm to our health.
