ok, that's what i thought... but, does anyone know of any experiments that have been done that show this? (preferably on the internet so that i can look them up)

Last night, I was doing some really cool stuff with light interference, like the double split experiment and such. so, then i started wondering, is it possible to make 2 beams of light from different sources cancel each other out? [see attachment (gray are represents steam or something to make...

ok, i thought about changing the altitude by changing the balloon's size, and i have to admit that it would probably be way to heavy... so, i had another idea: what if you had a smaller secondary balloon for changing the altitude? it could be in a small box that could be compressed to lower the...

ok, for 1) maybe you could have some sort of system that restricts the size of the balloon, so that at any time, you can "set" its density by shrinking or or letting the balloon expand a little? 2) are their any balloons that have a thin layer of aluminum coating? maybe this could keep the...

i was just reading an article about high altitude blimps that the US government just recently contracted. why wouldn't these burst? it said in the article that the blimps could be up for months at a time... sorry for the double post, the forum apparently doesn't allow edits after a period of time

Ok, I'm sure all of you have heard about or even built high altitude balloons. They often travel to about 80,000 - 100,000 feet (about 30 km or so). I was reading about a lot of them lately and I noticed that all designs had a parachute so that when the balloon burst, the payload could safely...
