In my physiology (biological science) class it was explained that, upon eating some food source, some energy is converted into a useful form for the body, and some energy is lost in the form of heat. The lecturer didn't explain what form this heat is in. I thought that 'heat' must be an EM...

I'm writing a piece of software, however, my math skills are VERY rusty at the moment. The problem is as follows: There is a journey consisting of 256 steps The person, can either i) walk, or ii) hop The person can choose what to do at each step I want to compute a list of all possible...

Are you suggesting that taking a measurement in a few Planck time units is impossible? Your post probably needs more explanation.

I don't know much about physics but just had this idea: As I understand it the HUP prevents good accuracy of a small object's momentum and position at the same time. Assume trying to measure the momentum and position of a single atom. In theory, can't we get a very good idea of both of...

Ah yes. I am confused. I saw it on a TV documentary, but I remembered incorrectly. Maybe my question should be rephrased: Where does the tremendous energy come from when Hydrogen undergoes nuclear fusion? I just do not understand how large quantities of energy are produced from this.

Hydrogen Fusion = High energy? Where does the energy come from when a Hydrogen atom is fused? Is the energy stored in some part (proton, neutron, electron)? Thank you if someone can give me some idea about this. I guess it is about the strong nuclear force, but I'd like to know in a bit more...
