i figure 4 due to assuming 1 star on every corner one a square. i assume one of my answers is right, but i don't know which.

i figure the number of particles is 4 per (3.1*10^18)^2. and no, i don't expect there to be a collision with the sun and another star. that's one of the reasons i posted this question. it seems almost absurd. but it's a homework problem nonetheless. any help is appreciated.

Homework Statement The problem is assume Andromeda and the Milky Way are going to collide. the relative speed of them moving is 10^6m/s. assume each star has the radius of our sun (6.955*10^8m) the distance between each star is 3.1*10^18 m. how long will it take for a star to collide with...

My physical prowess is only matched by greek gods.

well, i was being deliberately offensive. so, kudos.

have you considered the possibility that they are smarter than you? If i remember my dreams i tend to be able to recount most details for a good amount of time.

you really can't interpret your dreams very well. there are "common" meanings for some things but they fail to take into account all the other things going on, so it's basically a moot point. basically, if i could let go of an apple and have it not drop and said it was because it experienced...

incorrect. every time you look at a planet in our solar system or the moon you are seeing light from the sun that has reflected off that body. hence, a less direct route was taken.

you do realize...

Leave it to physics kids to make the same tired joke over, and over again.

Because, they were unable to match the colonist's cajones level.

lol all I'm saying is that the higher level math and/or physics classes usually have very few women taking them. I don't know the reason for it, just that it happens.

I do it to for the ladies.

"Ben and Jerry's 'Boston Creme Pie" Ice Cream" Appreciation Thread Truly amazing stuff going on in that container. those who know, know. I only hope to one day truly understand the science behind why this is so delicious. until then, i shall enjoy and appreciate it. - may scientific...

maybe physicists are more weird, but i seem to get along fine in my physics classes. it's the engineers who i think are the real awkward ones. they refuse to talk. TALK!
