^^^Thanks. I wasn't implying teleportation BY pair production, I was merely stating that in nature, photons are transferred to mass, so the question is why can we not use this idea. That's the notion though: If we had a way to create memory of state/location/properties and whatever, then...

Okay, so I'm just looking at this from a limited nuclear engineering scope: We know that as far as gamma interactions go, in pair production, a photon is converted into a postitron and a electron. So it goes from being light, and having no mass, to suddenly having mass! Mass appears almost 'out...

I'm not talking international politics, though. I'm talking domestic occurrences. IE, Islamic state's obsession with keeping women docile or whatever. And I'm not sure how this relates to the Bush administration (other an attempt at pushing some sort of hyper liberal agenda?) other than his (and...

A system experiences centripetal acceleration when it is changing direction (even if the speed is constant). So if the direction remains the same, the system's acceleration equals zero. All it takes is the change in velocity direction for the centripetal acceleration to be a non-zero number...

Because when the power is being delivered, its being "taken away" from the circuit. When it's being absorbed, it's "gaining" power, thus positive. P= V x I, so if you think about it the electric potential is positive, and the current is positive. It's converting, or charging or something. When...

The tendencies are quite enough as it is. I'm just tired of people telling entire groups of the human race what they can and cannot do based of no logical deduction what-so-ever, or false logic. Also hoarding money is a terrible habit. Money is meant to be spent, especially on others.

theChosen1: Interesting. There must be a huge amount of the population that suffers from this, considering these silly conventions and obsessions are somehow turned to laws. QuantumCurt: That makes a lot of sense-- and yet how do people not have the capacity to understand when certain things...

“It’s not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly…. Who knows the great enthusiasms...

Throughout history, people are always trying to keep certain sects of human beings from doing things, from being equal, from having rights... I just don't understand. From African Americans, gays, women, or even Christians being barred from this and that nowadays by the realm of political...

The only problem is that this sort of concern stems from an idea that humans are altruistic and would pursue/fund vast medical discoveries without any incentives what so ever. Maybe I'm just an ethical egoist, but that would probably slow progress a million fold. These patents, etc, need to...

I have nuclear engineering classes, mechanical engineering classes and physics classes to take, so those hours accumulate plus homework. But on my own? I could stay up til 2 am reading about Schrödinger's cat every day. Probably too much time, in other words. :)

For example, what potential do interactions like pair production have in harnessing the idea of converting photons to mass have in the future of nuclear engineering? Or what about quantum tunneling as the basis of fusion/fission? is it getting cold in here, yet? What are the new ideas out...

Very sad. It's pretty amazing how real and serious bond between man and beast can be. I had to put my down down (after she stopped being able to eat, move about, etc when she was 16) and if I think about it or talk about it, I still get really choked up.

Depends how much money you want to spend... Paul Smith on 15th and 5th, Barney's on 61st and madison

Doubt it. Engineering is specialized and requires higher education. It's one field where "Good enough" is not good enough.
