    Right to Ridicule: Investigating Its Impact on Constitutional Rights

    Hi, Just wanted to add my two cents hear. First I'm an ardent supporter of free speech AND AT BEST i can understand the ridiculing of FIXED features, such as race and disabilities, to not be sanctioned by society as a whole, THOUGH i wld prefer no legal action be taken against such either...

    Do magnets attract magnetic objects of different mass with equal force?

    Hi, Doesn't a magnet attract objects of different mass(consider Point mass), but placed at the same distance from it and of the same magnetic substance, with different forces, similar as is the case with gravitational force with Force=G*mass1*mass2/distance between them^2 ? For example if an...

    Etracting ZPP from the vacuum is in violation of the 1st law of thermodynamics?

    @Drakkith JK- True and the same is claimed for Zero Point Energy where a certain high voltage electric spark/magnetic flux destabilizes the system in the quantum vacuum making it release it's potential energy. JK- THIS is exactly what Thomas Valone and Prof. Dr. Claus. W. Turtur are...

    Etracting ZPP from the vacuum is in violation of the 1st law of thermodynamics?

    Although I've yet to see any device that actually works I don not understand how the principle of extracting ZPP or vacuum energy from the vacuum and turning it into mechanical energy violates the 1st law of thermodynamics BECAUSE energy is just being transferred from one place(where it EXISTS)...

    What happens to the energy in case of destructive interference ?

    @crapworks JK- Thanks. :smile:

    What happens to the energy in case of destructive interference ?

    @jtbell JK- AHA so the sound is not totally canceled out with a phase inverter/anti sound device. BUT then i wonder why not use a device which turns the sound completely into heat, which is way less disturbing at tht power rate to the environment, instead of more disturbing sound at other...

    What happens to the energy in case of destructive interference ?

    @Vanadium JK- In my first example if we have two loudpeakers, one producing the sound and the other the anti sound of euqal amounts and both are switched on at say 500 Watts, no sound will be heard or will it? If not what happens to the energy in that case? Thanks.

    What happens to the energy in case of destructive interference ?

    What happens to the energy in case of "destructive interference"? Hi everyone, I'll mention a few cases here. 1) In case of sound suppose we have two speakers. One gives off a certain sound and the other speaker gives off the exact inverted phase of the other speaker's sound, both with...

    Q: Can Matter Be Converted to Energy with 100% Efficiency?

    Hi everyone, Somewhere I've heard of a special type of laser which when it strikes matter could convert near 100% of it into energy, the laser's energy being insigificantly small as compared to the output thus achieving ~100% efficiency? Is this a way or is there any other means to achieve...

    Exploring the Unsensical Rule of Thumb for Following Distance

    Hi "dave", But as i said keeping a greater distance btw the front car when BOTH you and the one infront are traveling faster won't be more effective in avoiding a collision either. The distance traveled within reaction time towards the back car by the front one does NOT increase if if it...

    Exploring the Unsensical Rule of Thumb for Following Distance

    Hi "lsos", Ok not a fixed distance but would it make sense to increase follow distance with an increase in speed NOT TO MENTION IN PROPORTION to speed as German lawmakers suggest?

    Exploring the Unsensical Rule of Thumb for Following Distance

    Hi "dave", German lawmakers say keep a following distance = (.5 X speed in kmh) meters, meaning at 50 kmh you should have an fd of 25, at 100kmh an fd of 50m at 200kmh an fd of 100m and so on. This is what i called nonsense basically. Also read my post previous to that and then comment please.

    Exploring the Unsensical Rule of Thumb for Following Distance

    Hi all, In case anyone didnt understand here is a clarification again. German lawmakers say keep a following distance = (.5 X speed in kmh) meters meaning at 50 kmh you should have an fd of 25, at 100kmh an fd of 50m at 200kmh an fd of 100m and so on. This is what i called nonsense.

    Exploring the Unsensical Rule of Thumb for Following Distance

    Hi "A.T" No you could have a constant following distance of 25 m all the way from 50kmh-infinity. My qs is if you say keep a following distance of 25 m if traveling behind a car also at 50 kmh why wld you INCREASE your distance by twice the amount, as German lawmakers say, between the front...

    Exploring the Unsensical Rule of Thumb for Following Distance

    Hi "lsos" You seem to be best getting my point. Hence youd also agree perhaps that following distance should be fixed independent of speed.
