there are things called human evolution. Humans will evolve to adapt in conditions. For eg, if suddenly there are no sun, the human senses will evolve to adapt for this condition such as development of better night vision or bigger eye or relying on better hearing and better IR detection from skin like reptiles and so on.

This is what evolution is all about and why we human came to what we are not out of RANDOMNESS but out of evolution and survival of the fittest.

So Gundams with Fin Funnels piloted by Newtype pilots are possible after all? smile.gif

But on the more serious side, think about this, there are so many different types of environments and living conditions out there. This can differ from planet to planet, or if its a colony in space, etc. Now, let's say, after 5 generations, how much difference will there be between the ppl living in the different locations, due to adaptation and evolution? Or even say, after 10 or 20 generations?

thanks for remind me that.. makes me wonder... with presence of sun, we feel warmth.. but with absence of sun, itll feeze like pluto.. why??

which mean the universe is cold?? maybe minus few hundred C?

Heat is a form of energy. Cold is an absence of heat. So yes, its not just that the universe is cold, but its more of everything is cold. The temperature that we're all so used to is the result of heat and light from a particular source, which is the sun.

yes.. which mean that the universe is cold in nature?
Don't think of it as being cold in nature. Cold and hot are just terms that we used to describe temperatures above or below what we're comfortable with. Just think of it as the temperature where no energy is present.

thanks... but from what i read.. this is what i think....

energy existed everywhere.. even when there are no heat... say ice.. no heat does not mean no energy... the energy to bond the molecules to form solid still exist... and in gas, the energy is released by vibration

yes correct, of which is why 0 kelvin only exists in theory because it is possible only with the total absence of energy. the 0 degree Celsius that we know is at 273.15 kelvin. So that should give you an indication of how much light and heat energy the sun needs to give out to give us the 30 odd degree Celsius that we're used to @ the equator.
