Ask Dad
1. The show is originally for Popular Scientific and political dads to answer questions from their children.
2. Ask exciting questions about the subject and have him describe as briefly, descriptively, and laymen as possible. The questions could also ask their personal opinions, feelings, advice, etc., on related matters.
3. The questions below are set as a guideline but can develop into other questions from the answers.

Biology
1. Is Love a chemical reaction?
2. Did cavemen use advanced communication skills like sarcasm?
3. So, do things that have a longer life span evolve slower?
4. Why would males require hair for hunting and gathering while females would be indoors and not need hair, but the hair loss process is occurring and vice versa? Well, is there a vitamin or food that is good for hair restoration... hahaha.
5. Why do we get wrinkled fingertips in water?
Why is the entire human body symmetrical except for the location of the heart?
Society
Why do we stick to old ways when new ones are logically better?
Do you think your lifestyle is better or worse than your grandparents? How?
Is it true that older people who live near loved ones tend to live longer? Where is your family?
What causes you stress?
History
1. Which historical leaders do you think did a lot of good? Which leaders did a lot of harm?
2. If you could meet any historical figure, who would you choose? What would you ask him/her?
3. How did slavery end in other countries? Civil wars?
4. How were last names invented? Did everyone just pick one? If two random people have the same last name, does that mean they are great distant relatives? Am I somehow related to people with the name?
What years were global slavery, and what nation invented the idea to enslave the darker humans?
Why did Fidel Castro send the Cubans to the US?... Were they prisoners of overcrowded jail cells?
Medicine
1. How can you die from a slit wrist but not a chopped-off hand?
2. Can the mind control certain automatic bodily functions, like heart rate? For example, some people claim they can stop a cut from bleeding by using their mind power.
3. Can get sick if you think you’re sick. There are cases of men getting false signs of labor. If you think you will get cancer, you might, in fact, get it?
How safe is our food?
Does the Government regulate the FDA for financial purposes?
Economy
4. Why don’t airplanes use nuclear power when they consume so much?
5. Why is the US Army the number one consumer of petroleum?
6. Why not buy shares in competing businesses that monopolize the industry, such as Coke and Pepsi, where the other is good if one fails? Then, just put more into the one you think is better.
7. Is buying innovative based on how much people need it?
[edit]Technology/Energy1. What are some ways in which science has improved our lives? What are some things that science so far cannot explain?
Do you think it is essential to know about space?
Why not use the magnetic power to constantly rotate turbines like wind farms work. Magnetic energy is a powerful and abundant source that could continuously push the turbine to turn?
Can the earth's crust collapse in areas where we have left empty oil cavities?
[edit]Earth1. Would a northern deciduous tree go through a dormant state during winter in a tropical environment?
2. Would a deciduous tree try to bud in an ice age of a continuously freezing climate or go into a dormant state through the duration?
3. Do You think any tree could stay dormant for hundreds of years and later bud out like nothing ever happened?
4. Where does the white color pigment of freezing come from? Snowflakes are white and made from frozen humidity, which is blue. A drop of water is blue, but a frozen drop is white? If a plant freezes, it will be covered with frozen particles of humidity, thus white. But a drop of water is not covered with frozen particles… why does the color change...
5. If the ocean freezes, it will be blue, but the surface will be white because frozen particles will stick to the friction of the frozen edges?
6. Why and how do clouds get dark when they rain?
7. Like on Earth's equator, what defines the spirals of galaxies or orbits? If all the same, there has to be a place where it changes direction?
8. Winds on Saturn and Jupiter are around 1000 miles per hour? How are winds created?
9. If the air was denser, would lightning be louder? So on other planets, lightning could sound much louder?
10. Is coral reef started on just any twig and rock?
11. If u live right next to the equator, is there a determining line that everything starts spinning opposite. Your toilet flushes to the right at your house and to the left at your neighbor’s house. Or is there a line where it's arbitrary for a couple miles, sometimes spinning in one direction and sometimes another?
12. Why is most everything symmetrical in ways?
13. How do diamonds become red or blue?
14. Are mesas the old mountains that once peaked at their prime and now deteriorate at the end of their cycle?
15. Tropic of cancer. Cancer means Crab in old Latin; why did English adopt the word for the disease?
[edit]Physics15. Motorcycle balances: How does kinetic balance work? Can we test the spinning wheel theory?
16. Why does electricity make your hair stand up?
17. At what speed do heat waves travel? This is to determine how long it keeps warming after the light is cut off… just in case the sun diminishes from a phenomenon?
18. The weirdest things about space are gravitational pull and self-forming electricity like that between the moons of Jupiter and the planet itself. And what we have on earth as lighting. That is weird stuff when you think about it, right?
Animals
1. Do termites have wings when they’re born? How and why? Is it an old evolutionary gene?
2. What if a highly endangered animal kills someone and runs loose with no assumed further threat other than its capture? Will the authorities be easily persuaded to put it down?
3. Why does everything that moves have red blood? Except for insects? Why do they have different colored types of blood? Is that what scientists use to find new molecular make-ups to help medical research?
4. Are ants the most advanced species in the world? They have societies with hierarchy; some even evolved flight and don’t need democracy because they are already chosen and breaded from birth. If so, why not follow their billion-year-refined civilizations? Breed queens from birth, soldiers from birth. Etc? So our minds and self-consciousness are holding us back as a cumulative whole and society. Is this the best method where everyone pics their careers and lives and does whatever they want? If ants used intelligent thought, they could probably dominate the world?... maybe they do on other planets, and we will soon find out.
Space
1. How do some extremely far-orbiting comets still have gravitational influences? What is the limit? How far past Pluto is the limit of our sun's gravitational pull? It's understood Pluto does because it does not have momentum such as a bullet-fast comet that should pull right out of the centrifugal force at a certain distance?
2. Is it possible that every 36,000 years, a planet in deeper orbit, "Planet X Niburu," will orbit Earth on December 12, 2012? The same day the Mayan calendar ends, and people expect the apocalypse. That part of Google Sky Maps is even cut out? Is this a conspiracy to only survive the crucial people because trying to save everyone would mean the end to all?
3. How does orbiting work?
4. How does gravity work? Is it a sister property of magnetism? What would the effects of no solemnity from the sun and moon have on Earth?
5. Can a planet with an enormous gravity pull at an odd angle cause everything to grow and even walk sideways. Probably if the earth didn't rotate? But do all planets revolve, and why?
6. Isn't Saturn’s rings how moons are created, a bunch of particles slowly growing into clusters as they attach to one another? Is that how our moon was made?
