so glad this place is still going

it's 2004. i'm reading about the war in the middle east on sciforums it's 2014. i'm reading about the war in the middle east on sciforums it's 2024. i'm reading about the war in the middle east on sciforums

Makes me happy this place is still going.

gotta say, I did not see this coming

Moon dust apparently smells like gunpowder, or burned garlic

No, the other buddha didn't capitalise his username and had about 6 digits after it. This was in 2006 I think.

Ben Goldacre used an excellent term in an interview the other day; "apatheist", as in he just doesn't care.

First post in a loooong while, but that dude buddha and his thoughts on sexuality. Devolved into some pretty ludicrous dimensions after a few threads being completely shot down. Why do I still remember threads from years and years ago, man.

Two two word phrases: Sample size and control set.

Wait, how can you publish a paper without citations? Maybe I'm misunderstanding those statistics. Surely it's about the average number of times a paper published in those years has been cited? Chemistry is pretty good for a career. The work of the pharmaceutical industry never ceases...

Some people still don't understand forums, it seems.

You're shitting me. They dumped the most dangerous chemical agents in the world IN THE SEA?

Well, get used to quantisation. It just is. A) It absorbs the quantum of energy and the molecule moves up one vibrational energy level, ie the bond stretches at a higher frequency. The frequencies at which bonds vibrate (ie bend/stretch, like a pendulum) are discrete. B) You can't have a...

Yet another scam targeting woo-woos.

You can use surface cleaning techniques such as plasma in a vacuum to expose a metal surface, yeah. It's not hard. The plasma reacts with the oxides and organic grime on the surface to give volatile products which evaporate, leaving a metal surface exposed. Sandpaper, really? :D

Apply an initial vacuum to a vessel large enough that the volume of the steam produced has a relatively small effect, ie use the biggest vessel you can find. No, as you said degassing is simply the removal of dissolved gases in the water. Once that's gone, you can still boil the water. Boiling...

Impossible according to the laws of physics and the fabric of the universe A tough engineering challenge but by no means undoable. Imagine the alien colony ship from Rama suddenly appeared and went into orbit around the moon; our current chemical rocket systems would be woefully insufficient...

It's pretty inevitable that we get widespread electric car use at some point. Give it 10-15 years. Sports cars are a weird branch of engineering, and we've gotta walk before we can run, so don't hold your breath for more Tesla Roadster types. Water isn't a fuel, I don't know where you got that...
