Experimental Sciences:

Are there moonquakes on the moon? Yes. Instruments left on the Moon's surface have recorded about 3,000 moonquakes per year.

Social Sciences: How does diff. stages of the moon affect people A lot of people think so, and there are all kinds of ideas as to why and how. If the full moon can create some sort of impact on mood/behavior, then it stands to reason that other phases of the moon might too. The gravitational pull of the moon obviously effects the earth -- hence tides. So it isn't too far a stretch in logic to suggest that that same pull effects something in the brain or body.

**Does language change? How, when, and why? PINKIES**
 * How: - Formal --> Slang (eg. teacher --> friends)**
 * - Translation (eg. from one language to another)**
 * - Interpretation of definition within words (eg. i love you to a friend or to a some one special)**
 * - Time (eg. Chinese & Egyptian symbols)**
 * When: - Migration (eg. depending on where you live and what century**
 * Why: - Easy (efficient)**
 * - Cool (Part of your identity**
 * - Personal codes (eg. own language)**
 * - Changes according to stuff changing (possibly technology)**
 * - Influence (eg. from the people around you)**

Is language be personal/individual or is it part of a shared community? STARS - If you think about each word carefully, it is able to fit in to each category of meanings of words, which are Individual, Shared and Common. - For some words, there is a cultural meaning that comes up first before the individual meaning. For example, “Cinema” in Saudi, in this culture, it is considered wrong and so, for this reason, there are no cinemas in this country. - The inventing of words are individual at the beginning, but common when shared. For example, Shakespeare and Newspeak in 1984. Some of their words are in the dictionary and are used in everyday language. - Language is a strong aspect of WOK because it gives meaning to the words and how they are viewed differently. - Language has both advantage and disadvantage to globalization, for example, for example when people communicate, they have different views on how companies should be developed.


 * Do words represent images in our minds or some idea out there, or do they refer to real things? **
 * (Moons) **
 * - Most of the words can be imagined as pictures or ideas in most of people's minds, and then refer into real things. **


 * - Words that are about real things in life that we can touch, see, hear, taste or smell, are represented in our minds as images or pictures of the thing, though the pictures can be different, but they'll talk about one thing, as long as it's about one specific meaning of the word. **


 * - Most of the words that are imaginable refer to real things. eg.: when someone says there is a dog outside, then most of people will have the idea or the picture "Dog" in their minds, so this helps knowing the word and what does it refer to. **


 * - Words that are about feelings or things that are not touchable or visual are usually unimaginable as pictures, and even if they are, they may not refer to real things directly. eg.: the word "Life" doesn't refer for something real by saying it just like that, but it may make some individual mean or picture for some people. **


 * - Some people make images or ideas for different words, even if they're not real things, to help remember them or make them easier to understand, and that helps a lot building the brain and the memory, and helps making them stronger. **


 * - Usually, words have different images inside each one's mind, so they may have the same meaning or different meanings, depends of the way the person sees or understands the word. This is very similar to the Homonym, which means words that have the same spelling and pronunciation but different meanings. eg: the word "Heart", for some people it may be pictured as a human heart, others may imagine it as a love heart, and some may imagine it as the center of something. **


 * - Words that are universal sometimes have the same picture in our minds, so the whole word will have the same picture when they hear a word like that. eg.: the word "Nine" have a picture of the number nine for most of the people. Some words may have the same picture in specific situations. eg.: the word "Sun" will have the same picture of a sun, when talking about weather or a twilight or something. **


 * - Names that are unique, which means they're not similar to another word, are the words that have only one picture or very similar pictures in people minds, and this is for the situation when talking about a specific known person, and everyone knows that the topic is about him. eg.: "Ludacris" is a common words that will have the same picture for the same person in our mind, or similar pictures, which is the singer. **


 * - Words that are not imaginable are understood by experience and repetition, so people also may make picture which refer to the experiment or the action, and then relate it to the word, so this type also can refer to real things, but indirectly. **


 * <span style="color: #1545ad; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">- From the previous point above, we notice that the two types of words, words which can be imagined, and words which cannot, can refer to real things for most of us, but the difference is how does it refer, directly or indirectly. **
