Launching things into space via cannon has been tried a few decades ago, as in government funded research. I did a little bit of reading around this...
Road tax? That sounds like The Man making sure no one else makes money on gasoline. Although I guess farmers may get subsidized gas. So maybe a...
Thats too complicated though. You need a broker, you need to learn all the rules, etc etc etc. I just want a discount for buying 2,000$ dollars of...
An idea just struck me - how come noone buys gasoline in bulk? At first though, I thought its the same reason no one buys food in bulk - not...
Thank you, James R, for correcting these neophytes. :p It is interesting to think of heat in equilibrium conditions however. Thermal energy...
I concur, this is a rational explanation. This makes sense. I like to go biking when there is a full moon when the moon is at its peak (around...
Warrens, thats a good word describing the movement of a massively overpopulous humanity underground. I disagree that population growth will ever...
Using utterly technical terms, heat is the flow of thermal energy. IE a glass of water has no heat. Temperature is a function of average kinetic...
that can't be it because the rock starts stationary, and ends stationary - its whole potential energy is used to compress the piston, no kinetic...
[IMG] I have a question - how is energy conserved in the above scenario?? It is simply a diagram of a weight being put onto a piston, and then...
Whatever they will be like, they won't be much like people today, at least culturally and ideologically. Human intellect and human values don't...
Really, a photosynthetic wasp?? I have not heard of it. I read that there is research being done on photosynthetic sea slugs, which appear to get...
I just read this in my oceanography textbook, very very interesting. It seems that deep ocean hydrothermal vents are hot enought to emit light, which...
I have claimed that the OPERA results could be a case of a refractive index smaller than 1 inside of rock. This is because the vacuum is less dense...
So everyone is trying to get rid of US bases, and the US needs some place to position and refuel their boats and troops. You would have to be...
It seem like 2,500 marines isn't going make that much of a difference. However, if these are 'military advisers', that could be a very significant...
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/17/world/asia/obama-and-gillard-expand-us-australia-military-ties.html?hp I am not much into politics, but I have...
I have heard of this before in a youtube video. The guy says that NASA tested this - SO, there has to be some science to support that it may be...
I am now trying to figure out how to extract energy from a high pressure closed (encapsulated) container without removing material from the inside. I...
Why 'nip it in the bud'? Why not let people come to their own conclusions? It is a good exercise in physics to try to design perpetual motion...
