Proton Decay- What happens to the proton after "too many decays"? Let me start off by saying that I am not the brightest individual, but I am curious about things from time to time (hence my name and hence why I'm here). So please excuse my stupidity if it shows too much. Anyway, recently, I...

Yes. Sorry, I forgot the name, haha. Thank you for the correction. Okay, you're right. I didnt know they had opposite charges as well. Thank you for the correction. This is precisely what happens when I (or anyone) build up from a false realization or what people call a "fallacy." Thank...

I know that this comment is probably not going to follow the logical flow of comment here, but here are my thoughts: 1. According to one of the main laws of physics, energy can not be created or destroyed. This suggests that the amount of energy is actually finite, since it cannot keep getting...

Usually I like to expand my questions (no matter how dumb they may be) with proof/ history/ statements/ comments, but this time... I'm going to be a little more straight to the point. Btw, if you notice me say something incorrect, please tell me; the things I am stating here are said in the way...

@Drakkith: Thank you for replying! You're absolutely right about light. I can't believe I said something that is a semi- opposite of what actually happens. Sometimes I wonder how information which is nicely stored in my brain, becomes jello when I try and explain things (mus be all those...

Hello everyone. Let me introduce myself. I am Curious_Dude. Naturally, by nature, I am a curious person, hence the name. I rarely go on the forums, unless something really bothers me and I just MUST find out, and recently, this question hit me right in the head. This is not a homework...

"Learned" is a very broad term. When I learn quickly of things, I tend to learn concepts, not details about how much resistance/(or what have you) one single item has. You have to forgive me for not thinking about such things when I learn about objects, using "my method". Not at all. People...

Hello again! Sorry for the late post... didn't have time really to check the forums + how the relay-switch works until now-ish... Yes, I did. Everything checks out. The amp-meter seems to be working fine... Also, I never knew about CEMF, thank you for telling me! :approve: This is...

Sorry for the late reply. I don't always have time to respond/ work on home-made projects. Crazy jobs have crazy time-tables... Anyway, I appreciate your help guys, but I'm still "morbidly" confused... According to every website I've seen, every book that I've read, and even the wikipedia...

Woah! Hold on there... I'm not trying to show off how much I do know or what not, I'm just trying to get this thing to work. I can't help it if some of the things I say come off as wrong; English is not my first language, so it's not always easy to communicate correctly... I came to this...

Well to be honest, when I first posted this thread, I attached the "amp meter" to basically a closed circuit (attached it to wires that were already attached to other wires), so no wonder I was getting a no current reading. I guess I was just to tired to realize what I was doing at the time, and...

Hello, milesyoung! Thank you for replying. You're absolutely right. It's my fault that I didn't think of including one, because it seemed to me like a simple question that deserved a simple answer...my bad... I was wrong, so I created a diagram. Forgive me for it being so crude, but I think it...

anyone? I mean the least someone could do is tell me if it's even possible to build a radio controlled electromagnet, using that configuration.

Hello everyone! Recently, I decided to start building my own home-made projects, starting at a small scale level. The first task I gave myself was to create an electromagnet. In a few minutes... done; beautiful. Easy as eating cake. However, I wanted to (just for the heck of it) make it turn...

Alright... I see your point. Maybe I'll focus my mind on a different project... Thanks. At least I learned some stuff. Thanks once again, - Curious_Dude
