I understand General Relativity better than I understand your post.

What sorts of things would you recommend a person to do when he or she is in high school?

ALS is my favourite Led Zeppelin song. I don't know why it isn't more popular.

It was in 2000 or 2001.

Viagra, of course.

When I was younger, I had a test taken where I had to lie down on my back and have this thing placed on my head (there were tubes or wires or something on it) and told to stay still for about 20 minutes. I would close my eyes and I would be racing through (at seemingly high speeds) a bunch of...

126%. Many people are in love with more than one person at a given time. What would you think of a person who acted like a cheese sandwich?

Of course. The evil Earth scientists probably use examples such as Calgary to show how wild temperatures can fluctuate due to global warming! Look at 1988! http://www.climate.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/climateData/dailydata_e.html?timeframe=2&Prov=XX&StationID=2205&Year=1988&Month=2&Day=29...

If Lisi's model turns out to be correct, does that mean all of physics is essentially solved and there will be nothing left to do? Or will the details need to be worked out for many years afterward?

Homework Statement Two buckets of nails are hung one above the other and are pulled up to a roof by a rope. Each bucket has a mass of 5.0 kg. The tension in the rope connecting the buckets is 60 N. Calculate the acceleration of the buckets. Homework Equations F=ma F(net)=F(A)+F(g)...

Homework Statement Participants in a road race take water from a refreshment station and throw their empty cups away further down the course. If a runner has a forward speed of 6.20 m/s, how far in advance of a garbage pail should he release his water cup if the horizontal distance between...

I have a couple questions that I've been wanting to ask. I'm a Grade 10 student at a High School in Canada. Alberta, specifically. 1) My school does not offer the IB program (the Canadian equivalent to the AP program). Therefore, I have decided that I am going to take an online AP Physics...

Many times the simplest answer is the correct answer. Try to think of the problem differently. As others have said, finish the other problems first, then come back to it. Spend a lot of time trying different things, and if you can't get it, ask for help. Many times you'll be surprised at how...

Shock collar. Actually, I would suggest just to force yourself to start your homework. Once you get started, it's easier to stay motivated. It's much like a book.

Physics and engineering are the two fields I'm looking at for a career. I haven't quite decided yet, but I think Physics is more likely for me.
