A Year in Space
If you've ever endured an 8+ hour flight, you know how good if feels to get off the plane and breathe fresh air. Now imagine a 520-day flight. Scott Kelly has just returned from more than a year in space, the longest of anyone ever. He celebrated 2 birthdays on the International Space Station and came back 2 inches taller than when he left. Kind of puts sports and pop stars' accomplishments in perspective, doesn't it? Being an identical twin, researchers for the first time have a control subject in his brother that allows them to accurately determine the physiological effects of living in space, essential data if we're going to send humans to Mars as planned.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Hi,
Folks so want to disprove the twin theory so badly ....

Methinks you're missing the application here... I'm going to bet that his body will be aching soon as it readjusts to gravity!

I don't get it, if he's 2 inches taller than his twin how can they be identical?

Hi,
Karyn, they are trying to disprove the twin paradox ... they have been trying for almost 100 years!

It's all in the mathematics for many scientists ... and the advanced sciences are all theoretical mathematics ... so any attempt to show up those numbers is always a good thing. Of course, doing it at the Coffee House is even better. What do we know about numbers beyond 4, right?

So now there's a secret conspiracy about twins? The only person I can think of that was obsessed with twins died in 1945.

The longstanding question is how much is determined by genetic pre-programming versus environmental factors. Identical twins are genetically identical because they come from the same egg, it's been assumed that any post-birth differences between twins must be non-genetic in origin. If one gets arthritis and the other does not, it means that something in the arthritis sufferer's environment triggered the disease. Recent research, however, shows that our DNA changes over time. So it's not simply a case of nature vs. nurture, but rather an interplay between them. Genetics win out in some cases but not others. Alzheimer's, for example, is largely predetermined by your genes (bad news for me) and there isn't much you can do about it (yet). But Multiple Sclerosis does not appear to be genetically predetermined, suggesting that there might be as-yet unidentified environmental factors. The height change, btw, is the result of spinal decompression due to weightlessness, and is temporary.

Nice ... thanks. The decompression makes sense ... way better sense than previously.

It could just as equally mean that something in the NON sufferer's environment prevented him from getting the disease that he should otherwise have got due to genetics. It doesn't actually prove anything one way or another...

I agree to this ... well stated. it kinda goes both ways ... as changes are changes but there is no way to mark and define the starting and ending points for any of these events, and what they caused. One might be able to define these in a psychic manner, but reversing it is not usually a do-able exercise, which might also suggest that the "source" is not quite right. It has been done, and many writers have discussed this, specially the Castaneda group women, all of them being considerably better writers than Carlos.
