    Exploring the Expansion of Universes: Something vs. Nothing

    would it be fair to say that Universes(??) on all scales, which consist of 'something', expand for the very simple reason that there is, quite literally, 'nothing' to prevent them from doing so? (question based on random musings..)

    How do fermions acquire mass as opposed to gauge bosons?

    i disagree.. it's horrible, almost depressing, as i hate realising how many things i don't know..yet i can't look away..damn you all..:rolleyes: i doubt it's a helpful contribution, and probably innacurate, but i think of a field as a 'potential potential'

    hmm..interesting concept.. thank you for the information.:smile: aghh.. tried to ignore it..failed.. what exactly is meant by 'down here'?.. does that imply a level of acceptable ignorance/education? (for the record, i have no intention of 'trolling', 'flaming' etc., just trying to get a...

    Why don't atoms self-destruct?

    Hmm.. not sure if this is the correct place to post this, and please accept humble apologies if it is construed as an attempted 'hijack'.. the title of this thread seemed relevant though. (Knowledgeable ones, please try to resist explanations with hieroglyphics) To my limited...

    Is My Lack of Posting Stats a Big Deal Down Here?

    (nod'n'smile to all) Not a terribly important question, but i feel piqued curiosity without question is against forum rules.. i am a <week old member, just noticed my post count still shows zero. I don't have an accountancy OCD but i don't want to be the "new kid" forever..:rolleyes: ...

    Is fixing car alignment important?

    /* lecture..Rule of thumb, best tires to front, better of best to nearside. Solid axle rear suspension will eventually create an even tread wear across the tread face. Crossply and biasply tyres are antiquated. Radial construction is the norm. Alignment immediately following tire replacement is...

    Is fixing car alignment important?

    Happens all too often. A lot of tire fitters/aligners simply do not understand weight paths. A vehicle may be jacked off the ground to inspect component wear, but doing so loads said component and no movement is detected. Were one to raise the vehicle from the control arm (wishbone), the wear...

    Is fixing car alignment important?

    Incorrect toe adjustment will cause (un)equal wear on both tires. I would hazard a guess that a ball joint is worn, which escapes the attention of many technicians. The worn component allows undesired movement when driving, but when stopped it finds its natural centre, giving a reading within...

    Is fixing car alignment important?

    hi all, just thought you might like to know the reason for the difference in wheel alignment prices. There are a myriad of different suspension systems, with a variety of adjustment methods, including an absence of adjustment facility..(i.e. no camber adjustment on many FWD vehicles.). In this...
