This winker's a stinker: True or not? I don't feel like researching, so... whudduyal think?

"Quantum measurement by a self-replicating biomolecule was the key event that caused life to emerge." "Using the Many Worlds approach, peptide addition within the first (proto-) cell would have taken place, not in a classical universe, but within the multiverse of all possible states."...

Hello, srry if this has been done but i am unable to locate the search bar on the site. I was hoping that someone her can help me find the point of origin formula, because i have reference points and i need to find a rough point of point origin. If someone can help Thankyou in Advance :)

I have read that not long after the BB (~10-32 sec) time and space, as we define them, separated from a unified "whole" which they were a part of. Now its entirely possible that I just misrepresented what I read and if this is the case then I apologise for wasting everyones time. But if my...

Howdy first post. Why is it said that life needs water to develop. Everybody says that life hear came from the sees but why could it come from a methane sea? or even beyond that on a gas planet? Thanks Ryan

The two biggest causes of the universe cosmologists use is one of two theories. Either the Universe has been here for eternity and has been big banging and big crunching for eternity or some supernatural force (like a God or Goddess) created the universe. Which do you think explains the origin...

A circle of radius R is centered at the origin. The y-intercept (positive) is at (0, R). As we shift the circle to the left (or right) by n on the x-axis, the y-intercept decreases. Are we able to determine the radius of the circle given a certain proportion between the x-shift and the decrease...

Hey I am trying to do a calculus problem, but I am confused i possibly got th wrong answer but this will help me to know if I got it right or wrong... If the velocity of something is negative, does it ALWAYS move away from the origin?? and if its positive does it ALWAYS move toward thr...

For a bonus question my physics teacher asked if anyone knew why we use the letter "Q" in terms of heat. If anyone can explain the origin of why we use Q for the symbol your response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ok - so essentially the Feynman propogator is a Green function solved for a point source - i.e a delta function in 3 dims. My question is more mathematical. When you solve for the Green Function you assume (id-m)G(x,x') = delta(x-x') (roughly) Then solving this...

Announcement : Frank Wilczek is giving a talk tonight at the Ohio State University. This will be a great opportunity to attend a not-too-technical talk by a brilliant physicist. So if you happen to be in the Central Ohio region tonight, you might want to come take a look-see...

i have to show how many times the curves intersect at the origin y^4 = x^ 3 and x^2y^3 - y^2+ 2x^7= 0 i don't really know how to start solving this :rolleyes:

In the "origin of zero" thread, I saw the following remark: I had heard a different story, in a pythagorean mood: The first thing we can say is if a number, a magnitude, a rythm, a length, etc is odd or even, ie if it can be divided or not in equal parts. From this we get the smallest odd...

Is the spin of an atom come from (or based on) the Nucleus (i.e. net of Neutrons and Protons)? With the spin of the Electrons not really noticed or counted though a sense of being ‘lost’ or masked by being in an orbital?

Anyone know the formula to find the minimum distance from the origin to the curve, and find that point on the curve that is the minimum distance from the origin. This is for a programming problem in MATLAB, so thanks for any help! EDIT: By the way, I don't know the points on the curve, so...

Find the equation of the hyperbola with centre at the origin and sketch the graph. e. tranverse axis is on the y-axis and passes through the points R(4, 6) and S(1, -3) How would I find a and b? I plugged in the coordinates in \frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 and came up with two...

The Origin of Mind: Evolution of Brain, Cognition, and General Intelligence, 2005 Hello, I liked the book The Origin of Mind: Evolution of Brain, Cognition, and General Intelligence, by David C. Geary, 2005 because it not only discusses some of the latest research on human intelligence, but...

Can we find... Is it possible for us to find the universe point of origin based on location of cellestrella bodies? If so how? If not why?

I am starting this thread because the other one with regard to consciousness is so long that I doubt I would be able to interject what my researches have found nor do I have time to read through all of it. Recently I read a book named The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the...

Hey guys!Stupid question but I need to know what is going on. I went to the mall and passed by Pizza Hut restaurant and i started wondering, who the hell came up with the name Pizza Hut for a restaurant? :confused: Why Hut? do they make huts from pizza in Italy? Why not Pizza Pants, or...

what is the origin of the engery liberated in an exothermic reaction? I've been hitting the books for this but can't find it. Seems simple enough though. I just need to be sure.

The Origin Of Plancks Constant...... Dear Friends, What is the origin of Plancks constant ? What actually is it ? Discuss Roger

Hello :smile: I'm searching high and low for a new band name, having to do with the origin of the universe... it has to sound cool... I wish the Big Bang theory was called another way...any ideas anyone? thanx :biggrin:

Hi, There are few mathematical entities which we encounter quite often ..like pi,e,hyperbolic and trigonometrical functions, etc.I understand the significance of pi(=circumference/diameter for any circle). What about e,hyperbolic functions like cosh,sinh etc? Then there are prime...

So i have this question which seems easy enough but maybe iam not thinking in the right mind frame or something. The question is, find the equation of a parobola which has a curvature of 4 at the origin. Some sort of hint/push in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks

In this recent press release, "Chandra turns up the heat in the Milky Way center" http://www1.msfc.nasa.gov/news/news/releases/2004/04-169.html it is described the observation of heated gas at a temperature of 100 million K at the center of the Milky Way. It seams to be still an open...

Got a question "Find an equation of the straight line which passes through the origin and is perpendicular to the line y = 1/2x + 3. Is the origin (0,0)? I feel stupid! Thanks in advance.

Does anybody know who first introduced terms ring and field and when?

I just started a physics class and I am totally confused, here's my problems for tonight if anybody can help it would be greatly appreciated. I am not necessarily looking just for answers but help getting them too: 1. A car is driven 130 km west and then 55 km southwest. What is the...

Your educational system involves the Ph.D and B.S titles. But I have never known which is the historical origins of this words (Doctor of Philosophy, Bachelor of..etc). They look like stated by the former british imperium. Anyone knows about it? Thanks in advance.

I know that measurements have established the following empirical laws for the ideal gas, contained in some closed volume: -Keeping pressure and temperature constant, the volume is proportional to the number of moles. -The volume varies inversely with pressure. -The pressure is...

why the Universe was at a small point? Is this point like super small like. Plank length Googelplex^googelplex Or just any size smaller then Planck Length? To be undefinable. Why couldn't the universe just all of a sudden be created right where it is, in all the same...

Like many people, I find myself trying to figure out whether it is possible that we find ourselves in existence on this planet, along with millions of other species of living organism, by utter chance - a random occurrence in a universe/multiverse that we cannot comprehend. But I always find...

Why logic and reason fail when we try to trace back the origin of universe! When we try to think what might have created the universe,when was it created,how,why,where etc etc, the parameters we are looking at are TIME when we say WHEN and SPACE when we say WHERE,HOW,WHAT,WHO. Out of the ten...

I just had a thought... If the universe supercools before particles form, then there is a potential for particles to form. But this would be in random locations. And this sounds like a quantum field. Does this sound right, quantum fields are created by supercooling of what "spacetime itself"...

Is there an orthodox scientific view on the origin of matter or is this invariably considered to be a metaphysical question?

1st The LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MATTER "Matter can neither be created or destroyed merely changed in form." So if matter exists now, which it does, it has to have existed then to exist now. Yet matter was not always in this state of being, it was matter but it didn't contain any mass because...

SImple request here, I read some years ago that a perfect circle cannot be drawn freehand?..or does not exist? I cannot remember who said it, I believe it has some ancient meaning? Can anyone point me in a relevant direction?..ie who said it?

THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES By Charles Darwin See attached Nautica

Is there any theory offering an explination as to the origin of all matter? I'm not talking about the big bang, but where the matter which went bang originiated from. And I know the one theory about 10 dimensions and all the matter going into 4 and the others collapsing, but I'm more looking...

some news about the origin of gamma ray bursts, this may be old news to some.there have been many theories for the production of gamma rays, it seems now that the search is narrowing. http://www1.msfc.nasa.gov/NEWSROOM/news/releases/2003/03-041.html Using NASA's Chandra X-ray...

I found my self imeresed in the Charles Darwin story "Points Of Origins" and I found it very interesting. Have any of you guys ever read this book if so share it with me, I think Charles was i one of the greatest minds what do guys think?

to start, i agree with the BB theory as a "result" of the begining, the BB theory does not explain where the energy came from to cause the BB. what is requierd is a theory that predicts where the BB energy originated. the only part of the BB theory i do not agree with is that it created...
