    Is Spiderman's Power in Danger? A Discussion on the Latest Movie

    Last I heard there is discussion that the next Spiderman movie will star Venom as the villain. Personally I would rather they wait on Venom though. Use him as the revival villain if interest wanes. I want to see Mysterio, Scorpion, or Lizard as the next baddie.

    Affirmative Action and Similiar Programs Must End NOW

    Race and social status should have no bearing on how things are done. The problem is that you can't make everyone happy anymore. Take away affirmative action and all the racial activists will start spouting off about the disadvantages of growing up black (or any other race I may use black...

    Statistical flaws revealed in top journals' papers

    Well that isn't very encouraging. Then again I have witnessed papers get rejected from other journals where the editor had requested "additional information" that was in the paper already.

    Brain Transplantation Hoax Web-Site

    You missed out. They even have sample bodies for you to take. But they can't reveal how they get them.

    I believe that is what they are offering.

    Finding Liquid Nitrogen for Experiments: Where to Order

    You shouldn't be using liquid nitrogen to make ice cream. The cost is ridiculous, and the risks of doing something harmful to yourself are there. Any other experiments that you plan on doing with it also are probably not wise to be doing.

    KsP calculations with solubility values

    Maybe I am doing something horribly wrong here, but these numbers just make absolutely no sense to me. We are given solubility values which will subsequently be used for Ksp calculations. I was given hydrogen bromide and 5 solubility values (given in g/100g H2O) Since 1g = 1mL basically...

    Is Intellectual Evolution the Future of Human Evolution?

    Evolution would be gone if that happened. Genetic engineering isn't evolution to me. As for another comment about only deleterious evolution. Look no further than weight problems and eye sight. Both continue to get worse, and while this isn't an "evolved" trait, it certainly has a...

    Calculating the Threshold Mass for Static Friction in a String System

    But does the string hanging at a 45 degree angle, on the other side affect the result. Calculating Ff of 0.8kg mass Fg = mg Fg = (0.8)( 9.8) Fg = 7.84N Fn=Fg So, Ff = uFn Ff = (0.5)(7.84) Ff = 3.92N After that I'm stumped. When the box starts to move Fnet on the 0.8kg box is...

    Calculating the Threshold Mass for Static Friction in a String System

    I missed the section on static friction and I can't get this question. Can someone help me out? What mass can you hang onto the string so that the 0.8kg box will just begin to move? The 0.8kg box is sitting on a flat surface with a coefficient of friction of 0.50. This box is attached...

    Is Our Reality Just a Simulation in The Matrix?

    You would never know unless there was something from the outside that contacted the inside, much like the movie. Even if there were errors in the system that was created you wouldn't know of them as errors leading to a fake world, but as odd experiences. Then you could go out and say...

    Solubility of Gases: Why Decreases with Temp Increase?

    I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some good information regarding why the solubility of gases decreases with the increase of temperature. The only description I have is a cheap example involving a pop can where as the temperature of the can is increased the kinetic...

    Chem project, just need some starting advice

    Thanks. I was thinking it most likely would have been something more along those lines.

    Chem project, just need some starting advice

    Not directly the same question, but it is similar enought that I didn't want to start a new thread. I was just looking at some of the properties of Bromine and under Chemical Properties it had a heading of Incompatibilies. In this category it listed several metals and inorganics, but it...

    How many senses? which animals can see in colour?

    I was just wondering how exactly do they determine the color vision of other animals. Obviously they must have some form of test(s), but without verbal communication how can they know for sure. Even the most highly trained animal still could unable to comprehend something like this...
