interesting thought but how do you account for amplitude in that scenario?You need bigger balls to be brighter, right ???

Maybe i watch too many sci fi mad scientist movies...

if these guys don't watch it, they will start a nuclear reaxction

In the 1960's somebody had an idea to tow an iceberg to Los Angeles to help solve the drinking water shortage. Only 1/2 of it would melt in the two year trip from the antarctic.


Yeah, I remember now. it was an article in Popular Mechanics so long ago.

Another thought not found here is how much of the melting ice becomes water vapour being added to the atmosphere and carried and deposited on land masses, not directly affecting ocean water levels ?

I just joined the 20th century and acquired a laptop, with very sensitive keys

" Being fooled by incompetent people " is surely a problem scintific study has to deal with as well as we mere mortals have to deal with our elected officials being fooled by special agenda groups. That being said, the description of the APOD http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060308.html ...

what elements must be detected prior to this thing being called a " supernovae " as opposed to the run of the mill " novae " ???????

Is it possible that GRB are special kind of LASER emission ? I ask because some time ago it was suggested Eta Carinae emits LASER light and it is about to wow us mere mortals with an event.

I agree, it belongs to the other APOD ( Astrology Post of the Day ). I remember the physics professor telling our class that if you can't assign numbers/units of measure to it, it doesn't exist .

Maybe APOD missed the April Fool's joke by exactly one month

what are we looking at here

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060227.html

looks like the center object is the subject of today's APOD. Is the inference that this object is pulsating ??? like an orbital pair ???

i ,for one, would rather contemplate this Universe in pictures ( APOD past and present ) Big Bang is a misnower. the english language has not developed to the point of having correct words describing the event. There was no explosion ( in the newtonian physics sense, like a big firecraker ). I inter...

bet ya'll a cold one this is what Pluto gonna look like

I have always had a suspicion Harry was really a young kid with entirely too much time on his hands

You are asking questions mere mortals cannot answeer. being you are a scientist, we should be asking you

Sorry to see you go and I have also noticed a degradation of "stay on topic " efforts bordering claims of knowledge supremacy. Hopefully diplomacy will prevail.

When you project a three dimensional object ( a sphere ) onto a two dimensional photographic plate, you get rings...........pass the ice cold one

I saw those in Brazil quite a few times. We had to land really quick when one of those appeared.

the math available to Einstein was much more developed than was available to Newton. Both brilliant thinkers. I would like to advance that Newtonian physics ( called classic ) and Quantum physics are not mutually exclusive, as the subject of the original post mat imply. Pass the ice cold one

Looks like gravity is strongest in the land of Foster's.........

somebody yanked his chains ??????

[quote="Em"]Can someone please explain to me in very simple terms the quantum theory.

Thanks,

It is the study of particle motion ( like subatomic level ) Newtonian physics studies how substances interact ( like what happens when you hit an apple with a baseball bat )

Impossible to stage in light of the return on Surveyor 3 pieces. And the rocks......where the hell on Earth do you find rocks aged like that ?

I think it is one of these, ejected from somewhere, and now " punching thru " a cloud of dust
