    Schools Advice on Universities in Canada for international students.

    UBC, SFU, and UVic are all accredited engineering programs. I don't know where you got the 16month consecutive work term, SFU has 4,8,12 month coops just like Waterloo. SFU only has electronics/electrical/electromechanical engineering.

    Is Spacetime Curved by Gravity?

    I'm just wondering what is the nature of spacetime according to general relativity? Like what is the underlying geometry mean in laymans terms. What exactly is curved by the presence of gravity? Any help would be appreciated.

    Dimensions and Degrees of Freedom

    i suppose that "fourth dimension" would be time as there is no motion without time just a thought ;)

    Relationship between Temperature & Half-Life

    Consider it this way, (probably should have worded this with more SR), I know that Temperature is a measure of Atomic motion. In a higher temperature sample of the same material, atoms are moving around faster than those in a colder one. Much like we can basically ignore relativity at small...

    Relationship between Temperature & Half-Life

    Lets say we have a radioactive element X in a closed environment, if we were to measure the half-life of element X's radioactive decay at: 1) Near absolute zero 2) At room temperature 3) At 1000s of degrees Kelvin Would there be a change in element X's half-life even if it is minute? And...
