I am trying to think of a subject on which to write an 8000 word dissertation on a physics topic of my choice. I was wondering if you had any ideas which i could follow up. It can be contempary physics to historical From Super String Theory to Ether and other interpretations of the...

I have a few questions about hallucinogenic mushrooms. (I have never tried shrooms) I'm considering trying mushrooms while I'm in High School. Can you OD? As I understand it, yes, but you have to eat an obscene amount to OD (varies by species I imagine) Are there any permanent effects on...

What is your research and development topic? My topic is Electromagnetics & Physics of semiconductor devices/semiconductor Physics.

I am doing a high level three year course in which I pick a science topic and do research on it. I will have the privilege of working with scientists and professors from several universities and laboratories and for this course I get 12 college credits, plus one high school credit for each of...

i'm starting [again] a physics topic for extended essay for IB...my last few topics haven't worked due to technical difficulties [ie: can't complete experiments, lack of avaliable resources, etc] so my new idea for a topic is firearms. the lab can easily be done by going to a shooting range...

Hurkyl probably remebers this post.. The main question of this debate is: What definition for instaneous speed is more general: 1)V=\frac{x}{t} 2)V=\frac{dx}{dt}? the notification is standard.

LQG posted a header for discussion of quantum gravity math framework. I want to restart that with a narrower focus so as not to foster contention between theories but rather to discuss only the mathematical underpinnings of what is known as Loop Quantum Gravity---also as "quantum geometry" and...

Hurkyl's thread on why it is useful to study curved spaces as well as some discussions with a friend have led me to pose this question: There is a current theory that the universe could be torus shaped because the intrinsic curvature of a torus would be zero, much like that of a flat space...

This forum says that the topic of Philosophy is: "The Mind and Soul. What is the meaning of life? How should we live our lives?" But isn't Philo-sophy (from Greek, meaning love for knowledge) a much broader field of study then just the mind and soul (and in the case of the last, it is not...
