Sorry. My english is not very good. I did not catch the humor, and I did not mean to sound like a jerk.

Thanks Creator and Pervect-- The rest of you are quite useless, but thanks anyway!

Hello All, Would anyone happen to know where I can find an "exact" measurement of the acceleration due to gravity at a (almost) precise location on the Earth's surface? Anywhere in the Rocky Mountain region would be fine. Thanks!

www.masteringphysics.com is telling me its not right...

Lisa, I think your best bet would be The Charm of Strange Quarks: Mysteries and Revolutions of Particle Physics. After that, I'd say Hydrogen: The Essential Element. If you haven't read it, The Elegant Universe is fun too. I hope this helped!

Suggestion: Graduate High School!

I take back being nice-- "payed"? Screw science; shoot for politics!

Okay, I feel bad now. Astrophysicists can start anywhere from $40,000-$50,000. If you like science and want to make money, look at becoming a pathologist. They get paid about $260,000 and you may even find the cure for cancer! Then again, there already is one-- calcium-- but that is neither here...

Please do not mention astrophysics and politics within three sentences of each other.

Hey! Here is one that I thought would be easy: Two traveling waves move on a string that has a fixed end at x=0. They are identical except for opposite velocities. Each has an amplitude of 2.46mm, a period of 3.65ms, and a speed of 111m/s. Write the wave function of the resulting standing...
