I don't know if anyone has heard of these even more elementary particles, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preon There even more fundamental than quarks, i was wondering if they are well excepted into the scientific community or if its a very unlikely that they are real.

I know it only happens every 26,000 years, and the sun lines up with the center of the milky way, but is this real or not? And i know it has something to do with the 2012 phenomenon?

What could be the worst damages in a very bad solar flare, but a solar flare that's likely to happen in the next couple years with the solar maximum, like a really high x class, what could happen on earth? If NASA or noaa knew about this happening, would they tell everyone, if they would, what...

im having a hard time understanding just what it actually is. I've heard about WIMPs and now quirks. But i know we can't see it, but how dose it affect us? Why does it emit no light? I've also heard about the big crunch saying that if there is too much matter in the universe it would...

I find them very interesting and I was wondering if anyone can name a bunch of famous physics paradoxes.

And another thing, i know the one thing in quantum mechanics is math math math, its their language, I am only in geometry, i have 2 years till calculus, what i want to know is what's the best thing i can do now, let's say over the summer to study math. Should i just read those linear algebra...

Thank you every one. And shing i am going to check out that book from amazon, it looks good and is very cheap :).

Here you go, redshift and time dilation are much more different, what is very similar is the doppler effect and redshift, it's just that one has to do with sound and one has to do with light. In the future if you want to look something up, i reccomend using wikipedia, that's where i find a lot...

Yea sorry i got a little over excited, thank you though now i know in the future i should be not only researching things better but separating them from fact and theory.

Watch the show parrallel universes and here's a clip from it: There are others that explain my point if you keep looking And in here it explains that m theory is an extension of string theory, wikipedia is a great source for things like these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-theory

I might make a cloud chamber, which requires for a very small amount of lead 210 on a needle tip, and i have found a place to buy it. Its 0.01 microcurie, i was wondering if that's harmful to a human. And in general how much radiation can be harmful, as in what is the safe limit you should be...

Theres also a theory called the big freeze, where according to chaotic inflationary theory, the universe will keep expanding, so much that it will be so empty that everything drops to absolute zero and that's the time, astronomers and physicists say that we will have gained the technology to...

No, membrane theory is correct. Sometime its referred to as M theory. Its a theory that took off from string theory, it says that instead of 10 dimensions, there's 11. And in the 11th dimension, the hyperspace containing all the other dimensions, our universe is a floating membrane. It could...

Also to answer your questions more clearly, to the people near the black hole, even if time is slowing down, it seems regular to them. But to the observer, if the spaceship full of people went towards the event horizon it would looked like there frozen in time. And as in the doppler effect and...
