    Electrons and simple/complex molecules.

    maybe the answer he's looking for is this... In neutron stars, their own gravity is so large that it overcomes the forces keeping protons/electrons apart and the electrons/protons combine to form neutrons. You end up with a big soup of neutrons...no electron clouds so there's almost no "empty"...

    Is it possible to create a region of negative density that is less than vacuum?

    I've had this same thought experiment too... Thought about space being so empty and being pulled apart by massive galaxies enough to strain space to the point of "less than nothingness". Of course, I believe this has been thought of many times as a solution to "dark energy" problem where...

    Negative Current in Circuit: Is It Possible?

    Be careful when you say current flows from negative to positive. When you say current flow direction - do yo umean the direction of a positive charge or a negative charge? Electrons (-) move counter-clockwise in the metal wire. ,----------------------` | | |...

    Negative Current in Circuit: Is It Possible?

    Whoa guys - let's not confuse the issue. Current does not "flow" left or right per se. If I have a non-metalic conductor, and it's movable charged particles are H- ions (protons). The protons will flow towards the (-) side of the battery. However, say I had a metal conductor with movable...

    Fermions & Bosons - How Do They Interact?

    Theres a little confusion in my mind as of late. How can fermions be made to act like bosons allowing it to bypass the Pauli's exclusion principle? Example: The rubidium atom they used to make the first BEC was a bosonic atom. Also, if anyone could lend some insight as to how they recently...
