I was hoping to gain a general understanding of how shock-waves propagate a medium such as the air. Let me explain what I am curious about by stating an example I thought about. Let's say we have two different explosives. Each explosive weighs the same, and contains the same total energy...

So I had understood it wrong all along. Here is my following question. If the strings are free to move around, are there areas in space where a true vacuum exists, a place if you were to look at, not even strings could be found?If they can move, I would think the answer to that would be "yes"...

I have watched nearly every video on string theory; I find string theory and quantum mechanics extremely fascinating. I have listened to and watched quantum mechanics courses that are 40 hours long which help teach someone the general outlines of the theories. I am trying to develop my math...

Did I ask a hard question? Hehe I figured after 95 views, one of those people would know the answer.

I am trying to find out if my general understanding of the strings in string theory is correct. The strings can vibrate along different nodes to create the particles. Do the strings themselves ever wander around as a whole string, or would they be considered to be locked in place like pieces...

Youre right Ryan I can't let my imagination take over here, I must stick to facts that we can currently study. Is it a mistake attempting to use GDP to make predictions about energy consumption and production? I only thought that when Dr. Kaku made reference to looking at GDP specifically, that...

Thanks for your input, Ryan. Yes while the Kardashev scale may not represent the integration of vastly improved efficiencies into its formula, what it does predict is that future civilizations will simply make more and more energy. While the civilizations may improve efficiency of processes...

Okay, because I posted a link in the thread below this one to the place of where another science discussion was taking place, instead of removing the link, the guy with a full message inbox also closed the thread. Pardon me, but I still would enjoy to have the discussion on debunking this...

Future civilizations have been categorized by the physicist Nikolei Kardashev in the 1960s by the the type 1, 2, and 3 rating system which you have probably heard of. The Kardashev categorization for future civilizations makes sense to me, and it appears that other physicists agree on the...
