    Creating a Working Prototype of Armor to Move with You

    I would suppose the primary setback would be cost. Having electronics in armour would greatly increase the price of production.

    Understanding the Moon's Position: Relativity and Uncertainty

    Your understanding of physics is quite off. First off, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle has absouloutly nothing to do with the moon. Secondly, GR and SR and about 100 years after Newton figured the rotation of the moon.

    Buy Land on the Moon: Lunar Realty Opens in Melbourne

    Is there honestly any point in buying land somewhere you will never go? Unless there are some hopefuls out there who plan on living for a very long time, I doubht that anybody who reads this post will live long enough to see people have permanent residence on the moon. If I am wrong, however...

    Face on Mars True nature revealled

    It would be nice for people to simply say that it's a coincidence and nothing more, and just drop it.

    A particle in different places at the same time

    Isn't this known as quantum entanglement? Try typing that into [PLAIN]www.google.com,[/URL] you may get lucky. =-]

    Geodesics Around Black Holes: Do They Form Closed Loops?

    My understanding of black holes is that photons travellining in the right trajectory would be caught by the massive gravity of the black hole and orbit the black hole perpetually. This is known as a photon sphere, but I'm sure is just theory.

    Solving a Challenging Probability Problem - Detailed Steps

    I'll be honest, I have no clue in hell... However by the sounds of the question I think this is better suited for the homework section. You sure it was your friend, and not a mathematics textbook that ponders the answer?
  8. Q

    What Causes and Crosses Orbital Nodal Forces?

    Nodes eh? That's not quite the way I understood the structure of an atom. You see, Bohr-Rutherford diagrams and such are much different than the real thing. Infact, a theory of quantum mechanics suggests that electrons for an atom here on Earth may currently be on mars, or vice-versa.

    How Do Surface Area and Total Area Differ in Geometry?

    Depends on the context of the question... The surface area may be the area of one side of a cube, whereas the net area may be the sum of the four sides of the cube.

    What are the physics problems involving velocity and acceleration?

    - Ashley runs 3.0 km in 4.00 minutes. What is her average velocity? The answer is 45 but I can't figure out how to get it. Use the equation v=d/t v=3/4 - A train moving at 15 km/hr takes 1 minute to come to a stop, find its rate of acceleration, its average velocity and the distance it...

    What? 2 parallel lines meet at infinity?

    Infinity isn't a number, nor is it some sort of physical place, it is simply... large... Infinity is difficult to define, it simply means that it is large beyond comprehension.

    Salt Peter for Chemistry Experiment: What Is It & Where to Find It?

    Forgive me for feeling rather uncomfortable in using excrement in a chemistry experiment... Any other means to obtain this stuff?

    Salt Peter for Chemistry Experiment: What Is It & Where to Find It?

    Anouther thought just occurred to me: would it be possible to use a chemical reaction to produce NaNO3?

    Salt Peter for Chemistry Experiment: What Is It & Where to Find It?

    Thanks for your interest Monique. I have been up and down the internet, and read the MSDS regarding saltpeter (AKA Sodium Nitrate and Potassium Nitrate) and although I found some interesting facts, I found nothing regarding how to obtain it... I have also though about asking my physics...
