Question: The most common element in the universe is Hydrogen. Wala ma'y laing elements unta in space, naa lang sila kay tungod ani nga butang--so where do the other elements (all the elements in periodic table) come from?

just a guess after googling... interstellar medium

I am hesitant to say 'correct', but you have the closest answer. Your answer is a bit murky--the clearest answer is "STAR". Without stars, the ONLY element in the universe would be hydrogen. The core of stars COOK hydrogen, and forms the other heavier elements. When that star explodes in a supernova explosion, it DISTRIBUTES the heavier elements out into space, and thus, providing other stars with raw material to produce other stars, and in turn, these heavier elements get deposited into lumps of matter called planets, asteroids, comets, etc. and even life, and YOU. You are made of stuff that came from the core of a star.

We are made of star-stuff. I love that quote from Carl Sagan.

Sir Rodsky, ikaw na pud mangutana.

Question: Kinsa man ang unang tawo nga naay mathematical proof nga ang kalibutan kay lingin (round) ug dili flat? (hint: this person even managed to roughly measure the circumference of the earth using his mathematical methods).

oh oh! I think I remember this guy....naa ni sa among geometry....hmm....I'm tempted to say Rene Descartes, but not quite. I know Rene Descartes is responsible for cartesian plane. Basta....old name, somewhat latin...arrrghh...not pythagoras.....dili sad c archimedes.....he seems familiar but I can't remember his name......

I'm tempted to use google, but no......I'll wait this through.

Hint: His name starts with the letter E.

nakalimot jud ko sa name, dili sad Euler (Leonar Euler)?

What I can remember is, he used the location of Great Library of Alexandria as vantage point to calculate the circumference using shadows and a special device...I forgot the name.

I remember now!

Erastothenes!
