I don't really get the concept of significant figures. Anyone can help me out? 1200 X 23.4 What is that in significant figures?

I know this is a stupid question, but my reference gave me too much information on what those two are, causing me a load of confusion. What is the difference between special relativity and general relativity? Can someone maybe try to simplify that? I know most of it already, but I just need a...

Ahh...my classmates are all asking me this. What is the difference between those? Chromosomes is (>) right? Then When they duplicate its sister Chromatids (X)? Then during mitosis anaphase, they get pulled back into (>) correct? Please, someone help confirm. Note: This is not the X, Y thing, but...

Hi, anyone know what they mean by spacetime is curved and its warped. Thanks in advance

thanks, do u know how the alpha particles and the goldfoil work?

anyone familiar with this? Rutherford (Ernest) had a famous experiment with the gold leaf and some radiactive source. Anyone want to calloborate? Becuz i m not so clear on wat that is

how fast of a trip would it take to notice the difference in aging?

Hmm... I see. But can someone elaborate on relativistic mass, invariant mass, and mass?

I heard from another thread that as u progress the speed of light, you'll eventually reach infinite mass. How come light itself don't reach infinite mass? And infinite mass means infinite gravitational force right? I heard there was a theory that the Black Hole has infinite mass, does that mean...

i thought a nuclear bomb was a uranium plutonium fission reaction

wow...1 gram into 25 million kilwatt-hours... Was it ever possible to convert it to energy? Btw...wat is the speed of light? 3*10^{10}cm/sec? or is there a more specific measurement?

cool, I'm trying to narrow tihngs down for me to understand. According to what you said, -Your mass will continuously increase while traveling the speed of light -If i really were able to travel at the speed of light, my age will remain constant? can someone confirm that?

I'm sure we are all familiar with the equation E=MC^2, but can someone calrify what it implies? Energy=Mass x Speed of Light ^2. Energy can be made by mass on the speed of light ^2? Mass on the speed of light^2 can be made into energy? Why is mass made out of potential energy, and not matter is...

thanks, that made it clearer. Another question I have is: If someone was to travel at light speed, would their age remain constant? Such as the "Twin's Paradox". Anyone can detail?

"The constancy of the speed of light is based on observations indicating that the motion of neither the observer nor the source have any effect on the speed of light" can anyone go on detail about that?
