Thanks. I think there's a lot of things we can do to keep up our air more effectively (and cheaper) than a UV filter in our airways.

Ironic. I'd always assumed the era of historical ambiguity would come to an end once we started keeping indelible records of events. But the tables have flipped. Now, instead of ambiguity because of too few records, we have ambiguity because of too many records (many of which are fake).

Central air heating/cooling unit.

Thanks, yeah. I have suspected this for quite some time. Good to have it objectively confirmed. Whenever I see one of these pseudo-historical stories, I check Wiki to see if the events have any basis in fact, and then ignore the narrative, which obviously must have been retconned. What keeps me...

Yes, this is as I understand it: two types - one for air flow, one for filter sterilization.

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now...

I know.

This whole thread is kicking down. A young, enthusiastic science buff should be guided toward learning, not pantsed and wedgied.

welcome @Legodudelol9a. There are plenty of sites on the innertoobs that will entertain personal hypotheses. This is not one of them. But feel free to come in, look around, kick the tires.

Can you boost the clock's voltage by (27.2/29.5)%? :oldbiggrin:

Points?? I see them. What do they do?

Energy is not a thing in itself; it is a property of a system, and it can change forms. A fast-moving atom has kinetic energy, which, if directed upward can be converted into potential energy, or if toward the ground, can be converted to heat energy, etc. When an atom is split, the components...

Welcome @Ktaka24. I second Russ' post. Read the Insights article before you buy your new scope.
