Well, i don't know for sure either,\n\nbut i've been reading in some books that telling about an experiment by turning a Classical music and a Heavy Metal music beside a plant (the same species of plants with the same caring), it turns out that the plant with classical music was grow healthy and gave a good fruit, while the Rock plant kind of skinny and don't even gave any fruit, and die slowly.\n\nI never seen it by myself, but i think it's logical that the sound wave (wich is energy) somehow bringing some kind of information (or effecting by force) to the plant (life being) and effecting the life of the cell...\n\nI haven't really make a research on this anyway, i have another project right now...\n\nHope this help\nBless You

Yep, take a look at engineered environments such as the Eden Project. It's just a matter of time and science.\n\nMelsat: Terraforming is creating an enviornment on another planet, which can sustain human life at natural earth type plants and animals.

quite common for new commercial buildings to have some sky or roof gardens these days. It helps to bring down the building temperature and cut air con cost. And provide a place for smokers to get their dose of nicotine\n\nHotels like to have that too, to create the cosy effect.

I really like it!  My local one in Swansea is very relaxing and in a lovely old building (used to be a theatre).  It has a very wide range of books and the staff are very experienced and helpful.  What I like about W'Stones is that they have a section of books chosen as favourites by the staff and they've all written their reviews on them.  It adds a personal touch and gives me inspiration.

What is the difference between a rock and a stone? Had we been proceeding logically, this issue would have come first. Many will say there is no difference. But if we ask a geologist, the answer comes out pat: a stone is a rock that's been put to use: stone hammer, rip-rap, gravel, wall, paving stone, tombstone, milestone, statue. Now, a geopoet, I surmise, will give the same answer, but where the geologist snaps a lid shut, the geopoet opens Pandora's box. What happens between rock and stone is simply everything human, from the modifications necessary to make homes to, at the other extreme, the excesses of ownership and exploitation which submit all ends to ours. So another answer might be: rock is as old as earth is; stone is as old as the superfamily Hominoidae.\n\nWhat's the difference between rock and stone? In their natural setting, they're rocks; when we bring them into the garden, they're stones. Each has its own individual character.

I'v heard about buildings being put on ball bearings so that the building will remain stable while the earth rocks beneith it. I'v seen a few specials on the Discovery Channel about it. Apparently the technology was pioneered in Japan. It makes sense since Japan has A LOT of earthquakes.

Not sure if they know if you love them, but one strange study was done (I believe this was something noticed when doing some other study) where they had different people treat the plants differently.  The strange thing is: when they were looking at data, they realized that the plants released different electrical signals when different people walked into the room.  And there was a trend that this was depend ant on the groups of people that treated them well to the ones that miss treated them.

a rock is a material that is very hard, usually found on the ground, and rocks means that you are excited or happpy about something, or that you really like the topic!

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it originated with the Rolling Stones as they described their backstage parties for an interview of somesort. The saying has pretty much been adopted by every rock group and wannabe rocker eversince as a way of answering why they're in the music buisness.

They are walls that are used in landscaping and architecture to stabilize the ground on steep or sloping lots. There are some great photographs of one kind of product and how it is used to make retaining walls here. http://www.redi-rock.com/

Rock climbing is the sport or activity of climbing sheer rock faces, especially by means of specialized techniques and equipment.\n\nHere are some links - the first has a Rock Climbing Gym locator, the second is a company that has indoor rock climbing and the third describes grades of difficulty of climbs.
