    What Are the Chances of Life on Jupiter's Moons and Other Saturnian Moons?

    I would go with either Titan or Enceladus. Check out these recent discoveries with Titan: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/06/100606103125.htm

    Question about The Big One in California

    You may find this interesting: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1858700,00.html" As I am sure you know, a difference of 1.0 on the Richter scale represents a shaking amplitude that is 10 times larger. A 6.0 earthquake would not be good. Take a look here as well...

    Universe Expansion: What Force Triggered the Big Bang?

    Completely curious. Would this suggest that essentially our universe is spawned from other universes? Or say, our universe was born from the energy&mass of another...and it then adjoined the others?

    Calculating IR Energy: 1.614 x 107 MHz

    E = hv v=1.614x10^13 hz h = 6.63x10^-34 E = 1.07x10^-20 J E/1000 = kJ E = 1.07x10^-23 kJ per mole 1.07x10^-23 * (6.02 x 10^23 atoms/mol) E = 6.44 kJ/mol hope that is clear, any questions let me know :)

    Why has no one seen Neptune with the naked eye?

    Interesting question and good logic. However, Neptune is big but it is really far away. As far as the values for apparent magnitude go, they are approximates, as the Wikipedia article states "These are only approximate values at visible wavelengths". Seeing that the limiting magnitude for the...

    Relationship between light amplitude and intensity

    Light intensity is proportional to the square of wave amplitude. So you are correct :)

    Quantitative Titration - NaOH and HCl

    For question 2 it refers to the chemical equation which is: HCl + NaOH -> NaCL + H2O In which case the moles of base used per mole of acid is 1. It is a 1:1 ration, and your titration shows this. M(base) = n/V(L) .095(.0158) = n n = .0015 and M(acid) = n/V(L) .06(.025) = n n= .0015 a 1:1 mole...

    Calculating Force for an Exceptional Standing Jump: Physics Homework Problem

    Work = Force * Distance Force = (9.81)(66) Work = (9.81)(66)(.80) Work = 517.968 J Doesn't account for the crouching distance, but it may be irrelevant, someone else will probably cover that. I hope I went in the right direction with this.

    Trouble understanding orbital hybridization

    All single (covalent) bonds are sigma bonds, and every bond after that is pi bonds. For example: If you have carbon bonded to four hydrogen atoms, then you have 4 single bonds, therefore you have 4 sigma bonds. Where as if you have elemental Nitrogen (N2), you have a triple bond, so there is 1...

    Is Virgin Galactic's SpaceshipTwo the Future of Space Travel?

    What's your estimates on the year it costs...$10,000 dollars to go into a low Earth orbit "vacation" versus the millions it costs today?

    Can I Use WordPress with My ISP? Understanding PHP and MySQL Support

    You could set up a local http server. http://www.apache.org/ and php+mysql. If you're on windows it'll be a tad bit easier than on *nix, if you're using linux then it's easy too, just look up how setup a lamp server. Your website should be viewable by your IP (external) address. Just make sure...
