    Quick question on iodination of acetone.

    In class today we did a lab with acetone (4M), iodine (.0050M), and HCl (1.0M). The lab was one kinetics and on determining the rate constant, rates, and orders. Which I've done fine, but I'm stuck on this question: Why is the concentration of I2 so much less then the other reactants? Any...

    Unveiling the Mysteries of 14 Dimensions: Exploring String Theory and Beyond

    Why do you say it is foolish and fanciful to think there might be more then 3 spatial and 1 time dimensions? Many leading physicists think there are more and with good reason.

    Big Bang Singularity: What Prevents Universe from Becoming Black Hole?

    News Creationalism In Louisiana, .

    Basically, yes it was. What essentially happened though, is creationism changed its name to intelligent design, and presented itself in the Kitzmiller et al. v. Dover Area School District case as a whole new theory. Interestingly enough, one of the reasons it was found out was because of errors...

    Question about greene's the fabric of the cosmos

    Just starting Ch.6, so I'll let you know what I think. Must say Ch.5 absolutely blew my mind though. Also you might want to read the notes at the end, really helped me understand a few of the things, the graph was really cool, and I'm about to start a topic about it. Also quote from wikipedia...

    Well what are you using your computer for and what OS are you running? Are you saying you can get just that for 550 euros? That seems quite expensive, here you could probably get that for $250!

    Sci-fi writer needs help with unusual problem

    I just sort of skimmed over it and I don't really know all that much on the subject. I'm not sure about this, wouldn't mass and energy remain constant?
