or you can use light to achieve the pressure! but then youd have to carry around a powerful emitter. unless you beamed it from a light source on the ground, then youd have to keep the "balloon" within sight of the laser, and youd have to get the light in and keep it in the "balloon" also i...

if entropy were a vector, could you call q (heat flow) its direction and T (temperature) its magnitude?

the third law is still there, in this case, whatever is making the fields feels the opposite force.

i think the small rocket idea would just make more space garbage since not all would hit, and youd be putting more stuff up there. how bout giant space nets?

how bout www.physicsforums.com i hear that's good

nothing dangerous, its called guarana i found some seeds online, and i thought it would be a fun challenge to try to grow them in chicago my plan is to try to immitate the rainforest as much as possible and expirament till it works

i once read something about the chirality (right left handedness of things) i think it applies to sugars, that if they were the opposite direction we couldn't metabolize it not sure, but it sounds familiar

i work in a building where there is a chemistry lab above us, so there is water flowing down a clear glass tube through one of our hallways. i was wondering if there was any way to remove energy from that system to do something cool with, even if its just making a small pinwheel spin...

whats the deal with spontaneus symetry breaking? i mean the analogy they use is where a pencil is standing on its tip, and therefore symetrical, and then it falls in a random direction. now, if it falls in a random direction, wouldn't it mean it wasnt symetrical to begin with? i mean...

i would say yes if youre not sweating (overheated) the cool food would cause your body temperature to lower slightly, which your brain would sense. your brain would then tell your body to heat up, using up energy. the thing is though, that eating hot food when youre already hot, might cause...
