Kevin G, the way the lamp is aligned, centrifugal force does appear to be acting as gravity would. Your claim that gravity operates DOWNWARDS really means "towards the center of the attracting mass". In this case, the centrifugal force generated by spinning the lava lamp ever so speedily, generates G forces of over 2 times Earth's gravity (as can be seen on the iPhone). This does indeed mimic the effect of gravity.

Now, if the center of mass of a massive item is above your head, then gravity is operating UPWARDS. If you align the centrifuge differently, then it is not operating perpendicular to the gravitational force. But in any case, the G meter in the iPhone does read out over 2 Gs.

If you're still angry about this experiment, please find someone to give you a hug.

Edman is on target. Evolution happens as a response to external stimuli. There is no end goal to it. It is not goal driven, it is a fitness response result of reactions to external stimuli over time.

At around the same time Bell came up with the phone, others were trying the same thing and were on a similar invention level. There was a man in Australia, another in Britain, it's possible that more than a few like minded inventors were ready to come out with a phone-like device. He still gets credit for it though.
