  1. Nuclear weapon, using Uranium-235 or Plutonium, are examples of nuclear fission. In the Sun there is nuclear fusion. Typically in human induced fission, nucleus is bombarded by free neutrons and it is decaying to smaller parts (isotopes with smaller quantity of protons and neutrons). In fusion, two or more nuclei are creating heavier isotope.

    Apology

    (almost) everybody deserves second chance. Use it well and all will be fine. Good luck.
  3. Hostile governments are the main source of problems for ecologists. Cutting funds for ecologists is the smallest tool of hostile government against ecology..
  4. In one word? Bullshit.. True opponents were disallowed to participate in the presidential election, remained only some sockpuppets..
  5. I would say, nobody have enough data. That's why new data are gathered, all the time, to fill gap. Some trends are visible only after many years of observations. e.g. satellites are taking photos of globe, e.g. Arctic and Antarctic, and scientists are merging them in timelapse video (what is hard to overthrow argument). Comparison of them in timeline reveals changes, regardless of local government attitude to ecology. If they cut forest, or other way damaged natural environment, it can be detected by analyze of photos. And you constantly need more data, because planet is changing.
  6. Would not be easier for you to simply search Wikipedia for these keywords, and read articles.. ? I am sure that Wikipedia articles have described things that you asked above.
  7. @John Cuthber "Chicken Used..as a Parking Sensor"... More practical would be mirror at 45 angle attached to the wall..
  8. If one of internal electrons (bound to atom) is absorbing energy from external source, like in your case, from x-ray or UV photon, it's jumping to higher energy level, and "at the same time" one of other internal electrons (which is normally at higher energy level than the first one), will emit photon, and will replace electron which just absorbed x-ray/uv photon. Human analogy: you have queue of people, and one of them in the start or middle of queue is moving to the end of queue, the all other people in queue moves, as there is new place for them.
  9. Because other party had even worser ideas.. ? Because they can discount it on PIT?
  10. To add yet another level of abstraction: If you're playing game/simulation, so much realistic that even electrons, protons, sub-atomic particles are simulated for scientists who are trying to find out the truth inside of particle accelerators like in CERN.. how will you find out that it is just simulation.. ? Your eyes, your ears, might just see and hear what is generated by engine. ps. In game engines there are sometimes appearing errors.. somebody can walk through walls.. jump way way too high.. or fly.. disappear, and appear again.. do unbelievable things, which are against original game engine, and unavailable for normal players. Cheaters, and people who are trying to destroy world, are usually banned by admins/mods/game creator, ASAP as they are detected. ps2. Game engines have one thing in common, the more players, the more things to simulate, the slower engine works. Entire power is divided to smaller chunks of time for each simulated thing. e.g. computer chess engine can play with one grand chess master, but Chess Simultan with one hundred grand chess masters, chess AI will have 1% of its original power, and will lose..
  11. @John Cuthber @cheetaman "Appetite grows with eating".. when you would get to $5 mln, you would like to have $10 mln.. when you would get to $1 bln, you would like to have $2 bln.. etc. and start staring at Forbes billionaires list and your position on it..
  12. Google for e.g. "cache direct memory mapping" or "2-way set associative cache" and read one of many tutorials, or even watch videos.. e.g. https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse378/09wi/lectures/lec15.pdf To check whether you're smart enough students, to figure out everything by yourself.. When you will be applying in future for job in IT company, they will ignore the all diplomas, and will give you just a few example tasks to do by yourself (and they will blow your mind e.g. make multi-thread safe list/queue without using mutex (or similar function that stops multi-tasking)..), perhaps even without access to Internet..
  13. When in atmosphere there are gases Nitrogen and Hydrogen, during thunderstorm with lightning, there can happen reaction: N2 + 3 H2 -> 2 NH3 Hydrogen gas can be produced by lightning from water molecule. Also imagine what will happen during thunderstorm with lightning if atmosphere also contains methane and/or carbon dioxide (and the all above mentioned gases). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller–Urey_experiment Rain will finally flush newly created compounds to ocean. Primordial soup of organic compounds.
  14. Then pick up Scheme "No Sounds"..
  15. Hm.. We're in Applied Mathematics section. Are you interested in equation which you should use to calculate it? You can calculate how much energy/power you will get from the Sun by using inverse-square law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law First calculate with ~ 150*10^9 meters distance, then repeat with 150 bln meters + 9 meters.. Difference will be much smaller than effect caused by e.g. dust on solar panels. ps. Install solar panels in such a way, it'll be easy to clean and remove snow. Just in case you will need it.
  16. Click Control Panel, in search box enter "sound", and you should see something like "Change System Sounds". Click it and change according to your wish.
  17. It can be done. When Yellowstone Caldera volcano will explode, you will have two countries.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_Caldera
  18. @koti [math]F(r) = m * a(r)[/math] [math]a(r) = \frac{GM}{r^2}[/math] g=~ 9.81 m/s^2 when r = ~ 6370 km = ~ 6370000 m so mass of planet can be calculated by reversing equation: [math]9.81 = \frac{6.67*10^{-11} * M_e }{6370000^2}[/math] [math]M_e=\frac{9.81 * 6370000^2}{6.67*10^{-11}}[/math] [math]M_e= 5.97*10^{24}[/math] [kg] Me = mass of the Earth. To calculate mass of other planet, or other cosmic object, spaceship has to have accelerometer and measure distance to surface of object using photons (t=2d/c). It'll also reveal what is below ground of planet, if accelerometer will inform about anomalies in acceleration while flying above certain terrain. Such as Iron ore (from meteorite) If you're more interested in gravity anomalies read this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_anomaly
  19. Weight is force. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight [math]W=m*a[/math] and on Earth it's [math]W=m*g[/math] Different planets have different a (acceleration), thus different weight. (actually, to complicate it even more, a is not constant but depends on distance to center of mass, which is close to center of planet)
  20. It's sad day..
  21. Microscopic organisms are made of millions/billions of atoms/molecules.. If you want to see single electron or single alpha traces, search YouTube for "Cloud Chamber" (particle with high kinetic energy, while passing through medium, ionize it (causes secondary rays (delta rays), and then there are even tertiary rays (epsilon rays) caused by secondary rays)).. All this causes that traces are visible by naked human eye.. "pixelated" is wrong word. Quantized is more appropriate. Pixel is used in 2D. 3 dimensional version of pixel is called voxel, by the way..
  22. Did you hear about exponential decay? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_decay Half-life? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life Exponential decay equation is slightly modified half-life equation.
  23. Like these: I never had such 'table'... (excluding Christmas etc.).. it's sort of.. "dream"..? right now, in modern world, when everybody have their work to do... Some people hate "family dinners"... because of parents BS talking.. so they avoid it whenever they can.. to not have to end up in fight... Too apodictic parents, who think they know everything, while knowing nothing, are ruining entire event.. They ruined entire trust in father and mother and family long ago.. I would say, treat your children as.... partner.. since the beginning.. not some kind of slave, which you just give orders what to do, entire day.. If parent will be commanding child, when they will have more power, will control you instead.. when you're weak and old.. ..and you will complain "son/daughter is treating me like [...]".. but such parent worked on it entire life.. Why are you "punishing" Endy with negative vote.. ? He certainly didn't deserve it...
  24. No big deal, if you can accept making mistake, and fix it.. The problem would be if somebody would make mistake and he/she would continue pressing that his/her vision is the only right one.. and everybody else are telling BS.. ps. +1 for humbleness..
  25. Yet another way to misinterpret it.. MWh is not unit of power, but energy..
