As long as the Van Allen Belt stays up and keeps all that stuff in place we should be ok.

Heh, they don't keep stuff up there. The charged particles that are trapped in the Van Allen belts tends to collide with the Earth near the poles. This is what causes the auroras. There's just not enough anti-matter up there to make any significant difference (obviously).

Why do England have a seperate flag from Great Britain?

Why do England have a seperate flag from Great Britain?

For the same reason that California has a different flag from the United States.

Why do England have a seperate flag from Great Britain?

Many countries have a national flag, and separate flags for their constituent sub-groups. The Union Jack is made up of the flags of England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland (though Wales is conspicuously missing ).

The welsh flag has only officially existed since 1959. Besides the English flag is based on St George's flag and having a dragon alongside it just wont do! Bad form and all that!

Since the ancient Greeks first speculated that everything they observed in reality was the result of the interaction of tiny particles they called atoms, great thinkers have tried to find a single mathematical formula that governs and explains the workings of the entire universe. ENJOY:

I found a great tea sortiment with african rooibos with it.. Even though rooibos is actually not a tea it is bark from a tree. My question is what effects is there of tea, is it a stimulant or is it a depressant?

Most teas have caffeine and are therefore stimulants. I'm not aware of any that include depressants.

Most teas have caffeine in them, so they're stimulants (I have decaffeinated Earl Grey in my cupboard, it's not half bad). I'm not aware of any tea that's a depressant, though.

The similarity of our responses is a little creepy.

Perhaps sedative is a better word... I feel calm when drinking tea! I have african rooibos, ceylon gardens, orange jaipur and indian spice and all of them have a calming effect! (it is black tea)

I like green tea, especially.

green tea can work as a stimulant for me! But not red or black tea!
