    Fukushima Japan Earthquake: nuclear plants Fukushima part 2

    Tepco to inject cement into ice wall to slow outward water flow rate & promote freezing. http://www.tepco.co.jp/nu/fukushima-np/handouts/2016/images1/handouts_160602_06-j.pdf

    I don't understand capacitance

    I believe it's because capacitors connected in series effectively cause the sum of the "gap" between the capacitor plates over the whole of the circuit to be larger. I.E, the total gap in a series circuit is G1+G2+G3 etc for each capacitor added.

    Exploring the Relationship Between F=ma and e=mc^2: A Scientific Analysis

    IMO, the basic premise of your argument; is true, despite 'math-osophical' issues. If you take the mass of light as 0, then your equation: 'c = sqrt (a*m)' = 0. //(unless sqrt 0 = infinity? any mathematicians there to help? BODMAS starts with B right??) I suppose Newton took a...

    Ideas Wanted: World's Simplest Physics Demos

    Pop-pop boats are good, could make a simple pump by wrapping a flexible tube around a pencil to make an archimedes screw.

    Why supercapacitor energy density is so high?

    I would hazard a guess that there are several potential component designs for such devices utilising differing materials & configurations around similar principles. Amongst other things, yes! I suppose it would be best to see how the hyperbole holds up before anyone tries to retroactively...

    Japan Earthquake: Nuclear Plants at Fukushima Daiichi

    I hope structural integrity and water tightness are not an issue, as it seems the grand plan involves filling everything up to the brim with water.

    Why supercapacitor energy density is so high?

    So by your definition; we have non conductive 'carbon insulators', separated by conductive (charge storing) electrolytes (whose charge depends indirectly, somehow, on the surface area of the non-conductive insulating carbon layer)..?

    Why supercapacitor energy density is so high?

    Assuming Stanley imagined a solid lump of carbon, that answer's fine with me! I have a hard time imagining capacitors as solid chunks of stuff! :/

    Why supercapacitor energy density is so high?

    Why indeed! Anyone got a retroactive QM explanation maybe?? / bump

    Idea for experimental test of LQG

    I heard some rumours along the lines of "proton dissapearance at super low temperatures" & some purported support for astronomical observations with an inverse lambda value for the cosmological constant (which superficially sound like they may be conducive to analysis by some of the more...

    Who first assigned negative to electrons and positive to protons?

    Having worked in electronics, I've been bugged by these kind of thoughts for a while too. I assume electrons are assigned as negative in relation to their transitional media as they always seek a ground state, (like when you pick a rock up from the ground, it gains kinetic potential) and thus as...

    Novie questions about the double-slit experiment

    1: This wording seems like a more coherent description although it again supposes a different set of apparatus to the one we were previously discussing. I would question whether a photon would rather 'choose' to go through the top of unmonitored slit 2 rather than monitored slit 1, as your...

    Novie questions about the double-slit experiment

    I'm not sure I understand this interpretation, as it relates to the situation we were discussing (with the two slits simultaneously being partially monitored at the top of each). It seems like you're trying to say that the monitored halves are interacting with the unmonitored halves somehow...

    Novie questions about the double-slit experiment

    Ok, so from this can we say that both halves are exhibiting a wave pattern, with the monitored half showing decreased intensity due to interaction with an 'observation field' of the same intensity & 'material' as the measured unit, that has a statistical detection/destruction(/uncertainty?)...

    A fascinating solution of the black-hole information problems?

    all matters inside the black hole finally come back FROM infinity?...Fixed? :/
