A thorium fueled reactor based on the proven design at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is likely the most viable fission based option. The energy density of thorium is much higher than uranium, and the reactor is much safer.

Andrew, it doesn't appear that you've done any significant amount of research on your own yet, so don't expect the community to be eager to just jump out and pop all of life's mysteries for you. Define the things you have found on your own and some of the pro's and cons of the avenues that you...

Well, if we consider that language skills and adaptive learning are direct influences in modern mating then you have a great point. Still, we know that high intelligence in parents does not necessarily translate to their offspring as much as physical traits do, so we'd have to have actual...

Well, to start, I don't even know what a BA in Science means. It's totally ambiguous, and infers to me that you might be looking to teach grade school level Science. Having said that, it doesn't make sense to toss any math credits because math IS our fundamental basis for quantifying almost...

So you think they are on the wrong track at Lawrence Livermore-Sandia? -The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing, also by Satch

I would say that without doubt, there are going to be many places where contamination will be much higher, being that the area is so low and that so much material and contaminated water were pushed inland. As to what they are telling their people is safe; I'd like to remind that many of those...

So then we fire muon neutrinos, get back electron neutrinos, and still expect that NOTHING acted on the neutrino, and that nothing other than a matter/antimatter symmetry function has taken place, and that this oscillation conversion is something we should have expected? If so, then what's the...

Oh, yeah, sorry. Not a charged particle, but a particle pair with charge.

Well, their finding suggested that they are registering hits by neutrinos with an electron, though that is not what they fired. To pick up an electron, it would have to hit something, or have some requirement satisfied as to allow it to take one from something else.

Based on what we think we knew last week. So when the recent studies in Japan are confirmed, it's either as we thought last week or we have to consider our model flawed in that we had thus far only considered neutrinos of a given type, but now with the possibility that some are linking to a...

Right. Like I sort of said, if there were a study that was fully scientifically valid I might try prying my kids' cellphones loose with a crowbar, but until then, I ain't riskin it.

From an investigative standpoint, a wider scope of data, like looking at brain cancer rates in people or kids of people who had worked in any of a set of targeted careers where there is known to be a high EM saturation rate in the frequency range. Military and industrial numbers from the major...

I don't think the expansion will be so much a difference as to allow your spacer to fall out, not at that temp.

If I had the full dataset for the graph I could get it significantly more accurate, but I can't find it. Results file available on request. It's only a very simple excel file, nothing amazing. Wouldn't the hole's position be the most important factor? We can probably make a pretty good...
