bluekansasgirl:Out of curiosity, what sorts of evolutionary differences would you expect to see between different points of the Earth at which there are differenct levels of gravity?
While you are certainly passionate about your topic, I don't really think it's fair to say that students are being ripped off just because they are not being taught each and every scientific theory that is in existence. If they were then it would take 50 years to finish a degree.
I think the form of people's skulls would be different, like they are, at different points of the earth, and that people under more gravity would have more muscle and bone and other sinew mass, and people who went up to low amounts of gravity and then back to high would have bigger brains than everyone else.
Still, I don't think it would take fifty-years to finish a degree, however, since there is no degree option which allows students to study the effects of different amounts of gravity, there is no way to really know whether it would take fifty years or not.
I can say as an evolutionary side-note that I would expect people from equatorial regions not to care whether there was more gravity, and that the real test of evolution is how much people yearn to control their own evolution, and I would expect that if every single scientific fact about the entire globe were prosyletized, no more people would care than already do. The only difference between that scenario and now is that people who do care, such as myself, would have an easier life, and the other people who don't care would have the same life they do now.
