Thanks a lot for all the info guys. And thanks a lot collinsmark, that was a great read! I'm going to have to let that sink in for a bit. It looks like my first assumption was totally wrong.

It depends on what your going for. If your going for weight loss and building a bit of definition, stay in the 15+ rep range each set. For mass (which it doesn't sound like your going for, but just incase) then 8-10 reps. Its hard to say what weight to start out at, my first trip back to the gym...

This whole "we're made from stars" thing. I keep coming across internet memes that say all the elements (except H and He) were created from stars, and therefore, humans are the product of stars. Every atom in our body came from a star billions of years ago. I never gave it a second thought...

Ah alright that makes sense, thank you. I will probably just settle with finding the kinetic energy and go from there, thanks for your help.

... Why?

Homework Statement I'm writing a paper about wearing jockstraps in sports, and I'm trying to calculate whether the force of an average kick could rupture a testicle (Yeah, it hurts just to even think about). I would like to get the end result in lbs, so I'm using the metric system in the...

Thanks a lot everyone for the info, that helps out immensely. I'm in the process of copyrighting the paper and post it on here shortly. Thanks again for all the help.

I know that I'm somewhat necro-bumping this thread, but has anyone read this recent popular science article regarding subatomic particle imprisonment? Has this proved superposition? Here is a link to the story...

Hey everyone! So, I'm about to get to work on a new theoretical paper that I'm really excited about. I'm basically tying two different theories together and showing how they interact with each other. I'm mostly writing this paper for my own benefit, to get these thoughts onto paper and hopefully...

Really? Wow that's interesting. I'll definitely take a deeper look into Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. So basically, let's say that there is no one in my basement and no measures currently being taken down there. Do all of the objects in the basement exist in their superposition until I...

Hey there! I'm still a beginner with many physics theories, so this may be an obvious question. I understand that a specific particle will exist in all of its possible states simultaneously, but once measured or observed, it will take only one of these possible positions (Please correct me if...
