    Is Sleeping with One Eye Open Harmful?

    Believe me it’s possible. In my first high school year, we’ve (my class) organized trip to seaside. Organization was pretty poor ;), and we ended in some lousy hotel with 3 persons per 1 bed ratio :). We’ve packed ourselves in beds in sardine can fashion. And in about 5 am I’ve woke up, just to...

    Superfluous Genes: A Novel Theory on Genetic Adaptation and Survival

    If I understood you correctly, I don’t agree completely with you. That kind of approach is definitely way how bacteria use many of their genes and genome. They have a bunch of stuff and tools they carry with them in genome, just like a Suisse army knife, and they don’t use all those...

    A Tricky Reaction Mechainsm

    Yep, it's reaction catalyzed on/with solid (usually) iron catalyst. Its multi step reaction, and me being to tired right now, and fact that the best explanation is given by picture (catalyst + reactants), will lead you to www.google.com . I’m sure you’ll find answer there. :cheers:

    Is the Proton's Half Life Really 10 to the Power of 32 Years?

    Well, I don’t know how much I would meddle thermodynamics in that topic, after all it’s statistical model, and it doesn’t consider quantum properties of mass/energy. But theoretically yes.

    Remind you that Jupiter is really close to Earth

    Nothing big, just to remind you that Jupiter is really close to Earth, you can see it just right from the Moon; I think that it’s one of most shiny objects on the sky tonight, and nights to come. It just weird you imagine it like the biggest object after the sun in our system, and jet when...

    Permanent Magnet Shape: Position of N/S Poles

    Let’s say I make ball (sphere) out of permanent magnet material. Where will be N/S poles, will they take fixed position or, as I think, position won't be fixed. p.s. same for magnet ring

    Exploring the Wonders of Superconductors

    Yeah, I just don’t know why they’re calling it BEC (can’t deny that there’s no similarity but...), when they can’t really be all in same state place time, like bosons, after all they’re fermions, and I think that “fermionic condensate” is OK. p.s. I think that all experiments they conduced...

    Have you ever had an explosion in your microwave?

    I think it has to be in microwave. Microwave gives you uniform heating and temperature increase of complete water volume. If you use, for example, kettle and stove, you’ll have temperature gradient with hotter bottom and colder top – creating currents inside the kettle (no effect). + There’s...

    Or maybe aspirin synthesis ?

    Effective Weight of Falling Object

    (9.8\frac{\textrm{m}}{\textrm{s}^2})mh = 1/2 mv^2 Calculate v - velocity. Hack, when I started, I’m going to finish it :) : v ={\sqrt{2gh}} v= 4.43{\sqrt{h}} When you have h (height of that branch/three) you can calculate its velocity (you can see how it doesn’t depends on mass). But...

    Are you able to see the images of stereograms?

    Yeah, that one’s really bad, sloppy job. I think I have sw for creating stereogram pictures somewhere on hard drive, or I had… anyway I copied it from guy who was using sw for cheating on exams :) he would print stereogram notebook cover (or something else he could put on desk during the exam)...

    Momentum Conservation in Inelastic Collisions: Explaining Newton's Laws

    Yes on northern hemisphere to west (I don’t use rules(right hand etc.), just imagining it). But as I imagine it, if you’re traveling from S to N, on northern hemisphere, you’ll move to right (east), because you have grater (gained at south of N.hemisphere) velocity than Earth has at north of...

    Momentum Conservation in Inelastic Collisions: Explaining Newton's Laws

    It depends. It’s not same if you are traveling from N to S or from S to N, of course all on northern hemisphere (it’s the same principle for southern :)). hint: L-const.

    Is the U228 Electron Really Faster Than the Speed of Light?

    I’m trying to remember, does Cerenkov radiation have similarities with sound travel on breaking sound barrier, and after it ? I know this equation, but what happens when you have zero rest mass, and your speed is c: m = \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}} = \frac{0}{\{0} ?

    What were the consequences of the 1953 hurricane in the Netherlands?

    Monique – under the sea level :( Key findings of the Pentagon: … By 2007 violent storms smash coastal barriers rendering large parts of the Netherlands inhabitable. Cities like The Hague are abandoned… http://observer.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,1153513,00.html...
