Why it's that our ancestor/predecessor that live in the 15th-18 century never relize the?

We Answered:

World's oldest university is in Egypt (Al-Azhar). In the middle ages, Europe's centre of education was in Andalus, the Muslim-ruled Iberian peninsula and it was a sign of prestiege if any Christian European was able to study in Granada or Qurtuba (Cordoba), not that there were many education facilities at that time anyway.

The question is: did Malacca have any madrasah? Obviously you don't know much about history. Western historians highly value ancient madrasah education in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia, while you seem to diss it.

Malaysia maintained ties with China and India and possibly Yemen. However, those ties were more or less trade only. The reason why Malacca was left behind is because it was not a highly civilised culture. While other places built magnificent buildings, mosques over a millenium old survive until today, Malaysia's oldest mosques are from the colonial period, and the oldest buildings in historical city of Malacca were built by the Portuguese.

Simply Malays were not interested to travel to other places and learn something new. Malacca civilisation never embraced Islam on a full scale, they kept many pre-Islamic tradition. Seems that the people in Malacca sultanate were too self-impressed to build a civilisation. Luckily the times have changed, Malays and Malaysians send people to other countries for education, but things are not half as grand as portrayed officially. Malaysia still has a long way to go.

and under "Langue de formation", choose Anglais.

Arthur Said:

How do university degrees work?

We Answered:

Undergraduates have to take a bachelor's degree before they can go on to a Master's degree. So, basically you'd have to take the French courses if you wanted to study biochemistry as an undergrad. Otherwise, you'll have to find another college where they teach biochem at a bachelor's level in English. Sorry!

How do i get to a french/german/swiss university (im british)?

We Answered:

As a EU citizen you are entitled to enroll in various scientific university exchange programs such as Erasmus and others. Visit the EU web site and go to the scientific exchange subprograms pages. Or alternatively ask the relevant documentation at the offices of the EU representation in your country. However, for enrolling in the 2009 academic year you are borderline for being late so hurry.

(quantum physics) Any ideas with respect to "spooky action at a distance"?

We Answered:

It's just that you don't know the parameters of both photons, but once you know one, you will know the other, no matter the distance. This illusion of seemingly providing information faster than light is just a property of QM. Nothing is actually traveling faster than light, but once you know one property of one the photons you will automatically know the other. It doesn't make sense classically, but its alright with qm.
