    Worm Hole Idea: Electron talk at Great Distance

    Note: I am not a physicist but i like to read about it here and there. But my idea is this (probably thought of before): I have been reading Physorg.com and there is some new research about subatomic particles that are able to communicate at endless distances. This is considered...

    That is a lot of aluminum foil! lol

    How Can I Boost Wi-Fi Signal Across My House?

    You could just try to get a piece of cardboard and put aluminum foil around it (satellite dish). Then get a rubber band and try and angle it towards the part of the house you like. It may boost your signal a little bit. It should resemble this...

    HP's Memristor: Revolutionizing Technology?

    Anyone who thinks resistors/caps/inducts are always linear are not looking at them at higher frequency's e.g. Giga Hertz and above. V=IR breaks down, take an EM course.

    Why Do TV Cables Use 75 Ohm Impedance?

    we learned it could be a trade off between loss and flexibility. Because if it was around 50 ohms or so it would be too thick of a wire. and the we learned the minimum loss is around about 77 ohms. What do you guys think.

    What are the Quantum Mechanics Situations Allowing Light to Escape Black Holes?

    well, thanks. and FYI, it is proper English to say "As I understand It", but that is a math forum, not an English one so i'll let it slide.. lol.

    What are the Quantum Mechanics Situations Allowing Light to Escape Black Holes?

    So I'm watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSOPq9rZYcU&NR=1 So it says that nothing, even light, can escape a black hole, "except for certain Quantum Mechanic situations" or something like that. What are these Quantum Mechanic situations they are talking about? Try to...

    Math Useless Without Applications?

    Off topic: but, i don't change my opinion every time i read something and most people don't either. I do however consider new ideas and the possibility of adjusting my own opinions. **no harshness intended, and there are reasons these kind of jokes exist...

    What is the Einstein Velocity Addition Formula and How Does It Work?

    X is anything positive , so basically C+ 2C = C because i thought the speed of light is the max possible speed.

    What is the Einstein Velocity Addition Formula and How Does It Work?

    http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/relativ/einvel.html#c1 ok, so I'm looking at this, and i see that where c = speed of light if ship A is moving at .7c to the right ===> <=== and ship B moving .7c to the left and they are both on the same line and about to collide, at...

    Math Useless Without Applications?

    If you do not mind doing some math, but really want to apply it, go for Engineering, Besides, they make fun of mathematicians all the time. (at the same time respecting it) Well, I'm in Electrical Engineering, and this year I've started my study of Electromagnetic Waves, and thanks to all...

    Calculating Basketball Velocity & Height in a Hot Tub

    So pulling the basketball more than halfway down will cause more water to accumulate above the basketball and slow down the terminal velocity ?

    Calculating Basketball Velocity & Height in a Hot Tub

    Cool i'll look into this, anyone else have any ideas? or simplification. lol
