Science, like everything else that worth anything, is ever changing. What we see as absolutely right today they shall laugh at us about tomorow. I cam just see the scientist of tomorow.. "Did you know that they ACTULLY believed in atoms once? We now of course know that those are just hallucinations brought on the constant (but small) amount of marijuana smoke covering the earth" There are however a few things that DO stay the same. Always. I figure about the only one that this is true for IS time. The earth could slow down and are days start taking 26 hours but time itself hasn't slowed. Or we could get closer to the sun and a year would only take 350 days. Again, the only thing that has changed is our preciption of time. Of course speed is the same thing (Sorta). How fast something is going is all relative to how you look at it BUT just because I take a measurement of a car going down a highway from a standstill and get a speed of 50mph and then got in the car and timed it again and got 0mph dosn't mean the car slowed down. It is still going the same speed. The only thing that has changed is my preception.

He finally beat death in a best 34 out of 67 match. At that time he could ask for any one thing and he could wish for the hope of all mankind... he looked death right in the eye and said ... "I would like about three fiddy"
