fMRI i.e. Functional magnetic resonance imaging are in the early stages of finding objective 'proof' of music's ability to effect mood.
Now the old adage "different stroke for different folks" would apply to music. Your mother may by your statement believe the aggressive nature of metal...
No, you give me far too much credit. I'm a newbie and a layman who's curious about physics and reads up on science but has joined this forum to ask actual scientists in an interactive way.
Thanks for your contribution.
No one has answered this question.
So let’s put it this way. If I has a gram of neutrons near absolute zero in a vacuum bottle what would its physical characteristics be? Now let’s ignore the half life for now and assume the neutrons are not absorbed into the walls of the container. My...
:cool:
quick questions:
Would neutrons merely bounce off each other having no force between them?
What would the density (grams cm³)of the cold neutrons be under 1 G and 1 atmosphere?
Well, how much of a bomb? I'd bet an average Joe or Jill would gain some perspective from such an comparison that may be indeed impressive into the nether world of the subatomic. What if that was your task; to try to explain it to your average Joe or Jill or a class of middle school students...
I don't read up on it much but I suspect some as of yet undetectable particles are involved, perhaps having to do with dark matter? well that's a different discussion.
!
thanks,
what prompted me to pose this question was a popular media news clip a few years back where they stated a extreme cosmic ray or was it a gamma ray burst:? had an estimate energy equal to an 40 mph or so "fast ball" (baseball). I felt they did an injustice in their comparison for a...
That sounds all fine Astronuc but the average Joe on the street won't get it. How about putting it this way.
The amount of energy put into a particle in the Tevatron accelerator is like putting the energy of X Hiroshima bomb(s) into a 22 caliber bullet.
Te average Joe is familiar with both a...
I’m trying to help put the energies of particle accelerators say the Fermilab Tevatron accelerator into layman’s perspective. Now if we were to scale up the energy put into say a proton and scale that up to a 22 caliber bullet, how much more energy would it require?
Also put you answer in...
