Hi Everyone!

I am a 5th grader and really interested in Astronomy. I decided to do a research project on Supernovae for my Quest class this year. Part of the project is to talk with others who are just as interested in Supernova explosions as I am and find out what you think. Here are my questions:

1) How did you get interested in Supervova?

2) How long have you been interested in them?

3) What is the most interesting, surprising or unusual thing that you have learned about Supernova?

4) Besides the Sun, which stars do you think are close enough to destroy the Earth if they go Supervova?

5) How do you think we could harness the energy release of a Supernova?

I really look forward to hearing your opinions and thanks for the help!

Nate

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
