Here's some news about how a proposed magnetic bubble could protect astronauts in space against the solar wind: http://www.physorg.com/news145004546.html My question is - will it also work against the Van Allen radiation belt?

We will not get an interference right? Why? Because the electron interacts with the system? Or the "measurement" forces the wave function to collapse? What if we put a black cloth on the chamber and only see the photographic film? What if we place the chamber before the slits. What if we bring...

Can anyone explain how this works? Couldn't believe it was air in the water when I first saw it. But it appears to be genuine. I know some deal about quantum theories but am stunned like a dog in front of a mirror by these bubbles in the water - help me out!

Near my room there's a bee trap where bees fly into a kind of bottle half filled with juice and they eventually drown. For the first 2 days after drowning the bee floats. Then it sinks for a few days, and then it floats to the top again and is covered in bubbles. Why does this happen? Thanks.

Which of the following colours would you expect to see near the bottom of a soap bubble, red or blue? this is my solution If the thickness of the soap bubble is much smaller than the wavelength of light, the result is destructive interference (dark color). The thickness required to produce...

Homework Statement At 24.0 m below the surface of the sea (density = 1025 kg/m3), where the temperature is 5.00°C, a diver exhales an air bubble having a volume of 1.20 cm3. If the surface temperature of the sea is 20.0°C, what is the volume of the bubble just before it breaks the surface...

i remember once seeing on tv (fiction) how a man threatened another with a syringe and said he would inject the other with air and that 2 ccm would be enough to kill, if i remember correctly what happens if air gets into your circulatory system ? i imagine it would be ok until it is pumped...

It's been hypothesized that, at a high enough energy density (say, in a collision of particles), a bubble of true vacuum could be formed, which would then grow at the speed of light and envelop our universe, which is currently in a false vacuum, thus making all matter disintegrate. Is this possible?

[SOLVED] Ideal gases an air bubble of volume 20cm^3 is at the bottom of a lake 40m deep where the temp is 4C, the bubble rises to the surface which is at temp 20C, take the temp of the buble to match that of the surrounding water, just as the bubble reaches the surface, what is it's volume...

I have been asked to code a Bubble Sort using a pointer array and pointer notation as opposed to the square bracket notation...(there should be two uses of square brackets when declaring the arrays). It will not work! :( Basically the data does not sort. I am trying to swap pointer array...

Homework Statement When an insoluble bubble rises in a deep pool of liquid, its volume increases according to the ideal gas law. However, when a soluble bubble rises from deep submersion, there is a competing action of dissolution that tends to reduce size. Under practical conditions, it has...

From general research, I have seen a certain pattern emerge that causes me to re-evaluate how I look at the universe. It's easier to see with visuals, but I will try to describe it here. I believe some of the abstractions can lead to a better understanding of the structure of the universe, or at...

Can one determine a local electric field by the change in interference spectrum of a soap bubble? If one notes the spectrum with E=0, then applies a nonzero E-field, would the effect of the induced repulsive charge on iridescence be relatively easy to calculate, given the additional variable of...

Sir, Please help me with this problem. # A small air bubble in a sphere of 8 cm diameter of a substance having refractive index 1.4 appears to be 2 cm from the surface when looking along the diameter. Find the true position of the bubble. I solved it in the following way: Here n1 = 1...

"It is the practice of carpenters herabouts, when laying out and leveling up the foundations of relatively long buildings, to use a garden hose filled with water, with glass tubes 10 to 12 inches long thrust into the ends of the hose. The theory is that water, seeking a common level, will be the...

If you miss the news report in the March 9th issue of Nature, you may want to read it. And... Zz.

It is possible that the "big bang," should it ever have occurred, was actually a bubble from a greater dimension, pinched off. It has been postulated that as matter is gathered into a black hole, it condenses and forms what could be equated to a water droplet in space-time. When that drop...
