Graduate Applying Chaos Theory to history
Sorry for being confusing. I meant human history, and decisions where the influence of the movement of molecules in say, a leader's brain, to get him/her to make a decision that he/she wouldn't have otherwise. Thanks for the answers. It's been something I've thought about a lot, and don't know...- TheBigK1d

Graduate Applying Chaos Theory to history
Let's say you wanted to determine what day in a certain amount of time had been the most influential in our lives today. I theorized that whatever the time period, the first day in that time period would automatically be the most influential day. I though this because as you go farther back in...- TheBigK1d

Graduate Feasibility of raising up an object with cord and satellite
I know of the concept of a space elevator, and that right now it's not technologically in our grasp, but I thought up a variation on the concept. Using a cord with huge tensile strength, could an object on, or very close to, Earth be levitated off of the ground if it was connected with this...- TheBigK1d

Undergrad Idea about change in Earth's rotation speed by Climate Change
I know the two seem very unrelated at first, but actually I think the partial melting of the polar ice caps would actually give us longer days and nights. Most of the ice that would be melting is relatively close to the poles, the axis of Earth's rotation. But, when it melted, the mass of the... -

Undergrad Shape of a planet spinning very quikly
I had an idea of a planet that was spinning fast enough that at its equator, the outward force from the centripetal force would almost equate the planet's own gravity. However, this would change as you got closer and closer to the poles. I was just wondering what this planet might look like...
