    High School Anyone tried intercepting a radio station?

    On a small scale, maybe it should be alright, like hijacking only your own radio or broadcasting signals with a very small range for example. There's even a (legal) gadget called 'iTrip' I think which can broadcast FM signals.

    High School Anyone tried intercepting a radio station?

    Rather curious to know whether anyone here tried to build a radio wave transmitter and intercept a radio station by sending radio waves of similar frequency to that of the radio station. I imagine that would be quite a fun thing to do.

    Sooooooo Creepy - Unexpected Finds at ShyKids.co.uk

    That's very cruel of you, you know. I only turned my neighbour's kid into a life-size clay statue by covering him with clay when he's asleep.

    Undergrad The recoil of an electron receding from a photon

    Thx for the reply. :approve: And just to add, would this suggest a violation of conservation of energy??

    Undergrad The recoil of an electron receding from a photon

    Hi, everyone, I'm a high school student and i want to ask if an electron moves in the same direction as the photon which is about to strike it, would it recoil away as if struck by one with a lower frequency (due to Dopler's effect/ red-shifting effect) or would it recoil as if struck by the...

    High School Skydiving Temperature: The Impact of Air Resistance on Body Heat

    Maybe because of bombardment from cosmic rays and UV rays or because the gas are more free to move about at altitudes where gravity starts weakening... I'm not quite sure though.

    Graduate An eqation for energy conversion

    I thought the faster one travels, the slower the rate of things occurring... making clocks slow down is also a form of time travel, right? So energy don't have be converted to be used for time travel - kinetic energy simultaneously make an object travel through space and time at a different rate.

    What is a Saiyan? Discover the powerful race from Dragon Ball Z.

    No, they're not superhumans, they are alien species from another planet. I used to be a DBZ maniac :devil: heehee! They only morph into super-saiyans when they're incredibly mad (like the Hulk) there's even the super-saiyan 2 & super-saiyan 3. Basically, the characters and the enemies get...

    Graduate Does an infinite universe always repeat its parts?

    ... since it's infinite, it doesn't have to repeat itself right? (... umm...is this an astronomy question?... -.-)

    Graduate What Causes the Bright Streaks on Saturn's Moon Titan?

    Are those sounds of the descent of Huygen from its engines or is it air currents rushing past it?? (Weird... why would anyone be bothered with sounds anyway ... ) I wonder if Huygen detects any trace of amino acid. There's probably carbon-based life on Titan. I recall reading about one...

    News Is It Possible for a Single Person to Save the World?

    Solutions for saving the world: Well, for someone or a group of people to save the world, there must be someone who can destroy the world. So kiling the one who can (and also wants to) destroy the world equals saving the world, right? The faces of world destruction: Besides bombs, giant...

    Are micro-organisms fossils on so-called Martian meteorite true? I think it is more likely contaminated by life on Earth...

    Stargazing New Scientist Article - Pendulums + Solar Eclipse

    If such phenomenum truly occur, then as far as we know, the only forms of interaction possible between the pendulum and, either the moon and the sun or both, are solar radiation and gravitational waves. I doubt solar radiation has any effect on changing the path of a foucault pedulum, so I think...

    Is it acceptable to lie if it benefits someone else?

    I doubt false praises will help anyone for most of the falsely praised people are already aware of their shortcomings, and will perhaps like what ke1n said, 'make you feel pathetic'. If they are not aware it's a lie, it will hurt even more when they later realize that they don't possesses what...

    What Is the Nature of Perception and Existence?

    When I was about five, I was haunted by a shocking dream. I dreamt (it was more like a feeling than expressed in verbal thoughts) that I am all alone in existence, and is the sole consciousness of the universe. The people around me all mere products of my thoughts. I continued to be haunted...
