    Confusion about ion exchange water softener

    I actually did this innoculation but still try to keep pH in range of 4-5. Manufacturer of innoculant is claiming that it can keep plant happy up to pH 6-6.5, but I don't believe in it. Decided to keep it within safe range anyway and results are very good.

    B Black holes and universe expansion

    We are not speculating about unicorns here, but who knows, even these can live somewhere as Universe is vast, possibly infinite. And if life spontaneously emerged (as we are assuming), then why not Unicorns? Finally, if our Universe is infinite and life (means also a unicorn type of life) can...

    B Black holes and universe expansion

    @Arman777, All theories dealing with "fate of the Universe" problem are speculative and there is no conclusive evidence to prove any of of these to be correct. Chances for Big Rip base on existing evidence are about as high as for Big Freeze and already higher than for Big Crunch. At the moment...

    Question regarding Hardness and Wear Resistance

    I have a lathe with plain bearings. I had to replace bearings one time but not a journal. Bearings are becoming harmful usually if there is inadeuate lubrication or if hard particles, eg dust from nearby grinder, finds its way into bearing surfaces. Then process known as lapping will take care...

    Confusion about ion exchange water softener

    There must be a compromise, I guess. These particular plants like rain water most, if you are using one with calcium, you also need to acidify soil with sulphur powder from time to time. I have in my garden V. corymbosum. Very nice berries. These plants really hate too much of calcium and I have...

    Confusion about ion exchange water softener

    Most of plants require considerable amounts of calcium to grow. Exceptions are Ericaceae which still require calcium but in small quantities only. So unless you are certain that your soil is calcium rich it is not a good idea to use decalcified water. Watering garden with not treated water is...

    B LHC Constrains on Compactified M-theory SUSY particles

    I would say " Next to the lightest bino excluded with at least 95% confidence level up to 590GeV". Experiments from first run (7TeV) were sufficient to deliver this verdict. There is still more hope for next to the lightest wino in discussed energy range because below 115GeV and above 370GeV we...

    B Supersymmetry Purpose: Explanation & Purpose

    You are right, but current work and support of supersymmetry is related to issues which I have risen. There was (and still is albeit it fades) a hope that supersymmetry will resolve these issues. And yes, point 3, even if bitter, still holds - string theories applicable in ultrahigh energy...

    Question regarding Hardness and Wear Resistance

    According to wiki they can go down to ~0.02mm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_discharge_machining In reference below narrow 0.05mm slots are mentioned explicitly...

    B Black holes and universe expansion

    But any predictions like heat death, big crunch, big bounce, big rip etc are stil hypothetical. We know far to little to be sure of any of these. However there are more and more indications for Big Rip to be plausible. For example below you have discussed research suggesting Big Rip as an...

    B LHC Constrains on Compactified M-theory SUSY particles

    For what I know prevailing prognosis in regard of finding sparticles in LHC is negative - quite much data collected and no evidence found, on the top of it no candidates in 3-4 sigma range at the moment. Ever heard about "diphoton hangover"? Below some discussion of prospects. Authors still have...

    B Black holes and universe expansion

    There is a possible scenario of space expansion by one of forms of dark energy, so called *phantom energy*, which would split/evaporate/rip apart BH in final moments before the end of time. Scenario is called Big Rip and it is considered seriously as our Universe's possible future. It is...

    B LHC Constrains on Compactified M-theory SUSY particles

    Well, we was already discussing that. Failure to find superpartners at LHC energy range, more and more probable based on available data, would be a vast blow to much of ongoing theoretical work including work on string theories. We would be at crossroads while trying to explain relatively low...

    B Supersymmetry Purpose: Explanation & Purpose

    Supersymmetry was invented to explain: 1. Relatively low mass of Higgs boson. Without approximately electroweak scale supersymmetry it seems that mass of Higgs is somehow fine tuned, eg designed, what implies improbable serendipity, divine intervention or an anthropic principle at work -...
