It has no sense in saying that a rock has gravity... Because of gravitational attraction between the Earth and the rock, the rock-earth system has a potential energy. The work done is achieving this potential energy is the negative of the potential energy. The matter of potential energy is...

I thought there were 10^500 culprits give or take? Eric Cartman would have made the best investigator :P

INTJ I actually went thru some trouble to check out the INTJ open mailing list.. http://epistolary.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/intj-open I would say its more of a lot of INTJs trying to proof(perhaps a little too hard) that they are INTJ rather than it really shows any characteristics of INTJ...

oh, i remember, u can also talk about the turing machine and stuff and how it all developed into something called "computing"... is that still physics enough?

You could start off on the most basic diode, the one done by Edison. Basically a vacuum tube. Then you could move on to a triode, the vacuum tube with a wire mesh in between to control the electrons. Then you could do the p-n junction diode. Then the transistor by Shockley et. al. Move on to...

I have actually never been to any party before LOL!

But I wouldn't say its a total waste of time or totally useless.. For example, I had this group of friends in my home country like 11 of em.. half of them went to the US while the other half to another country for university.. and since we ever started university, we have been soo busy (thats...

You can check this out.. its free... www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~cs1101[/URL] and this [PLAIN]http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~cs1101l/ the first website has lecture notes, tutorials etc and the second one has labs and exercises to practice on...

Do google "build your own nuclear reactor". will give you lots of hits. but the thing is, how are u getting hold of radioactive materials? I would recommend building a cyclotron or an accelerator, which could actually work pretty much better than an entire reactor...

Exactly, I was like that a few years ago... Maybe you should read some books on logic, set theory or analysis which would REALLY REALLY clear your head up as much as it did for me...

Yes, you guys should stop bickering. The other time I posted something about string theory in the LOUNGE , two replies were all I got before my post was locked. Somebody suggested that I should post in this forum (Beyond the Standard Model). Then before knowing my post had been locked, I went to...

Wow, that was a lot of good stuff, thanks for the contributions. Do they do string research in singapore? More specifically NUS (National University of Singapore). I am there currently and Brett McInnes and Edward Teo seem to do some kind of research in that advanced physics field...

nah, i am going to go there and post myself already..

Yo momma so dim we might as well ditch "dark matter" and substitute "yo momma". PS, forgive me if this is lame.. lol

I posted here in case people took it seriously and started flaming all over again and I don't want to be the initiator of it lol. Ok, since Gokul agrees, this should be moved then.. how do i move it btw?
