    News Scotland Seceding: Can UK Survive Without Scotland?

    What a bizarre opinion. Why should devolved powers go back to Westminister? Scotland has a different legal system to England, why should English MPs be imposing laws on Scotland? Other than to treat the country as little more than a laboratory for their latest wheezes like Poll Tax was...

    Dumb question time (but its the right forum for it I guess) Where have I gone wrong with this. If the fuel rods in the core are about 1300K then pluggin into stefan boltman I get At 1300K I a get c 1.62*10^5 J/s per square meter assuming emissivity of 1. j = (1300K)^4* 1 * (5.67*10^-8) So why...

    What would happen if the Earth become completely solid?

    Over 10 000s of years the Earth will freeze and become a snow ball.

This...
