blog #3 (metric system)
"Several years ago NASA rocket failed because scientists were not using the same system of measurement for all the parts. Should the US switch to the metric system? Why or why not? Give at least two reasons to support your answer"
i think that the US should switch to the metric system. In all different parts of the world the metric system is used. I dont think we should be any different. If we used the metric system, i think that we would live an easier life. The metric system is all based on "10's". This makes it way easier to do conversions. To convert, you simply have to just move a decimal point over "x" amount of times. With the sytem we use now, its not that easy, you must divide by "12" and "60" and many other different numbers depending on what you are trying to convert. Most of the time you even have to use a calculator. Overall, i think that US should start to use the metric system, i think that it would make school and life a lot more easier, for us, and for people in other countries who already use the metric sytem.

non carbon-based life forms?
do i think non carbon based life forms exsist? well from my understanding, non carbon based life forms is just a big fancy name for aliens. I think that it is highly unlikely, but i do believe it is possible. Every life form adapts to their surroundings. Maybe there are atoms on another distant planet that dont exsist on Earth that can form a structure well enough for life, taking into account their planetary conditions. I cant say for sure what i think this non carbon based life form would be made out of, but i have an idea. I think that there is some kind of unknown element that has not been dicovered yet, that would be able to form "life".
