Haha, right you are. But my question still stands, does anyone know of any paper being researched on the correlation of a mother's preferential hunger and development of the child in the womb? How and What decides the sudden urge of the mother to start to eat foods that are based on the...

My situation is a little bit different, I am taking a double degree in both BSc Phy and B.E Environmental Eng next year. I found that I really enjoyed understanding physics and doing experiments. At the same time, I wanted to make something out of my life and contribute to mankind. Should I...

If I may digress, I am truly happy to see some fine men and women think rationally in comparison to the general populace. The_Absolute, follow the advice of the people in here; they have much better sense than the inane words of your psychologist. I think as other academic forums go, this forum...

This also leads to another question. Since nutrition is highly important for an infant during its time in the womb, each mother will eat different types of food for different children. Take for example, I am the eldest of three in my family. When my mother had me, she had a huge craving for...

Light indeed does not travel slower. The time taken for the journey is correct. The reason? What you are calculating is not the speed of light. You are actually tabulating the average of the speed of light and the time taken for photon exchange within the medium travelled. Thus, the time taken...

If you are interested in such correlations between constants and space-time; i suggest you take a look at Lie algebra of group E8, I've heard that there is a physicist trying to come up with a GUT with that model.

Interesting question, conventionally to destroy the dipoles in a magnet, sufficient heat past its Curie point and impact of the material will disable the magnetic capabilities. Try doing a simple experiment first, magnetize an iron nail, then repel the like poles with a permanent magnet...

A vacuum can be described as a region of space with negative pressure. It does not consist of any medium, but rather a region where there is nothing. Matter can occupy itself in a region of vacuum or atmospheric conditions; of course interesting properties may arise such as the casimir effect...

There are 3 ways that they release energy. By splitting the atoms into lighter products, the kinetic action of the split will generate heat. I believe what humanino said by binding per nucleon applies to this. The higher energy per binding, the more heat generated after collision. Second...

You must note that though what you have thought is true, you have forgotten that when there is a change (delta) in the pressure and volume, you have to take into account the temperature change as well.

First of all I think you should rephrase your question, it sounds a bit odd. Are you trying to produce sound by the blood flow in the body which allows a person to sense heart beat? Or are you trying to use the natural heart beat that creates blood flow to detect sound waves? From a very...
