Trying to calculate the enthalpy of combustion for gasolines with different octane ratings, 95 and 91 gasoline in particular. The thing is, they are mixtures and not compounds. To calculate the enthalpy of combustion, I am trying to find the molecular formula for each of the gasolines, in order...

Is it possible to create a rectangular prism while using only one prism and without repeating any two shapes?

I was reading something and I came along this: "Is inflation self-sustaining through inflation of quantum-mechanical fluctuations?" How can inflation be self sustained through quantum fluctuations, is it possible?

Even if I do not win I am trying to just get a better idea of physics, do you propose any topics or questions I should do?

These are some of the questions I am thinking of, which might you think is most applicable for a research in my case? - Are there physical phenomena, such as wave function collapse or black holes, which irrevocably destroy information about their prior states? How is quantum information stored...

I'm thinking of researching this: "Why did the universe have such low entropy in the past, resulting in the distinction between past and future and the second law of thermodynamics?"

Judges are likely to have some knowledge but I do not believe that have advanced knowledge.

I really have all year to finish it, and it is a research paper. It can be any topic within science but I am choosing cosmology and astrophysics. It is for a contest so there really is no page limit and such things. [SIZE=16px][FONT=PT Sans]

Well I am still a freshmen, I would not like much math to be involved I'm not too god with it :(. Any topics is fine it's more of an open research that I pick. And no experiments are required it is theoretical or can be theoretical.

Hello, I am a high school student, I'm kind of interested in astrophysics and cosmology. Anyways, I am starting a research this year for my school research. I would love some ideas about what to research on, I'm not too good with quantum physics. I have been looking into multiple topics but I...

Thank you, this will help me a lot.

I recently read this article about how the Higgs Boson could decay into Dark Matter particles. Why is this not being taken seriously, there must be something, and I am not a physicist, just a ninth grade student, so why is this either a good theory or bad theory? Thanks in advance! Here is the...

I have been thinking about this quite often, and I know that usually WIMPs are taken more seriously than MACHOs, and I know it is because MACHOS don't exist in such huge amounts, but why are they considered better candidates for Dark Matter?

If it didn't then it would've probably could not have held together also considering that the Milky Way can be small compared to other galaxies, so the answer to that would possibly be yes, or else it wouldn't hold together.

Dark Matter mainly exists in the halos of galaxies meaning their outer ring and the fact that it exists in galaxies is very important and is one of the reasons the stars in galaxies do not fly away due to the rational velocities of the galaxies, so that extra mass holds it together.
