Interesting, why is there a difference? So if I drop a brick then it would be louder in cooler temperatures? On the other hand, if I light firecrackers then the sound would be louder in warmer temperatures?

I was wondering how temperature can affect sound? I'm assuming the hotter the temperature then the louder the sound? Is this correct? Does anyone have a link that I could read more on this subject?

How reliable are peer reviewed scientific articles? I'm asking this question because someone on http://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=25802864&postcount=913" claims that you can pick who reviews your article so you're not really getting an objective point of view. This was in a global...

I'm pretty new to these forums but from what I've read, most physics majors requires you to have some type of computer language background to get a job in the private sector. I'm assuming it's mainly for people who only have a BS. If you get a PHD, that's probably a little different.

I'm just wondering if Global Warming is considered a fact within the science community? I'm not talking about man made global warming, just global warming in general whether it be caused by nature or man.

Check the back of your book? Index C or something like that.

I agree that longer school hours in failing schools do not work. One of the big problems right now is that your child must go to the school nearest your home, so if your child is stuck in a failing school then he is probably destine to fail. The best solution for this would be to let parents...

I saw this on the news the other day. There were two protests, one with a permit and one without. The one without a permit got dispatched, which I am assuming is the one in this video.

According to your reasoning, every single president who used a Czar created some type of social disaster and that the Czar had some type of direct relationship to the disaster. Do you know what a fallacy means?

Link? I haven't been back to that thread yet. Hmmm.. let me go see Edit: Nope, you are wrong. Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck has not apologized or even mentioned a word of it. It might have been another news caster on the Fox News channel but both Hannity and Glenn Beck has not lifted a...

Google "9/12 project" and you'll see that Glenn's name is next to almost all of the links. The date 9/12 is Glenn's project. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=PYn&q=9%2F12+project&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g1g-s1g8 Edit: This is Glenn Beck's...

Watch the first 10 seconds of this video. Glenn Beck in his own words even said, "A while back I laid out a plan called the 9/12 project". Before he laid out this project, the tea parties were scattered and had no real theme behind the protest. Glenn Beck is the person who actually gave those...

No, it is not wrong. There were tea parties before 9/12 but Glenn Beck is the sole person who created and promoted that exact date.

How is that bias? Anderson cooper used his exact words from his website that called Obama an "Indonesian muslin turned welfare thug". Your claim that CNN is bias compared to Fox News is like day and night. Sean Hannity actually cuts people off before they can finish talking. Glenn Beck...
