Why is it in "Other Sciences" section.. ? Numerology is not science..

You should replace "planet-killing comet" by "high gamma ray burst" ionizing entire atmosphere and vaporizing everything. Then information about future disaster event wouldn't arrive prior these photons.

Again, and again, the same.. You have no idea whether it truly works, as you have no decompression function... Writing off data to file, disallows you checking whether every single byte is equal to original (after compressing, then decompressing data). Result from this line of code is nowhere used, as fac is nowhere else referenced: BigInteger fac = Factorial(one); C# .NET Framework

What if, 66 million years ago, that asteroid did not wipe out the dinosaurs?
Sensei replied to Itoero's topic in Speculations
According to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanosaurus Titanosaurus had 9-12 meters and 13t weight. While f.e. Brachiosaurs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachiosaurus had 26-27 meters and 35 t weight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplodocus Diplodocus had 28-32 meters. Perhaps. If change is slow, the next generations thanks to mutations have time to adopt. But you also have to take into account that such large animals need plentiful of food. In cold climate plants have problem with growing. Summer season is short. Mammals to survive in cold climate, hibernate, or are making food stores (f.e. squirrels) -
Divide 12 pieces by 2, with 6 units each, then measure mass, on weight, 6 eggs on the left, 6 eggs on the right. If their mass is equal it means gold egg is in each of 6 units. If their mass is not equal, two eggs end up in 6 eggs package. Divide 6 pieces by 2, with 3 units each. etc. etc. Proceed further depending on result.. Typical question for programmers (sorting algorithm). Variation of algorithm, could be splitting to 3 packages with 4 (or later 2). Or use elements from 2nd branch.

The same applies to fiveworlds (and everybody else) source codes. He should always run his code on dozen well-known values from f.e. 1... 100.. And compare result from brute-force algorithm vs his code result vs external data from net or calculator/spreadsheet.

In some programming situations, precalculation (lookup table) is worth doing it, if 1) calculation takes long time 2) speed of execution of code is extremely important. 3) there is no access to FPU (f.e. custom electronic chip with only integer math) f.e. one can precalculate table with sin(angle), and instead of using FPU trigonometric function, read sinus/cosine/tg/ctg from table. It won't have very good precision, as angle will be integer index, instead of float. Interpolation could slightly help, but result will be slightly slower code and having to read two (three for more advanced interpolation techniques than linear) table entries instead of one per single emulated sin/cos operation. Table could be limited to amount of CPU cache size for optimal performance.

Water steam you could condense using f.e. Graham condenser https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condenser_(laboratory) Carbon Dioxide gas you could pass through solution of Sodium Hydroxide, and get Sodium Carbonate and Sodium Bicarbonate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bicarbonate

Let's change your post #4 source code from initial 40000000 to say 5. <script> function factorial(start) { temp=start; for (var ret = []; temp> -1; temp--) { ret.push(temp); } return start*ret.reduce(function(previousValue, currentValue){ return currentValue + previousValue; }); } sum = factorial(5); document.write(sum); </script> It shows in browser "75",but correct answer is "120" (5*4*3*2=120)

They always used to be. Simply there was no mass media, no Internet, no super fast communication. Now somebody do something on second side of Earth, and 5-15 minutes later, everybody are talking about it. Actually the percentage of people murdered per day, is now almost the lowest in the whole human history. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate There was 437,000 murders per year worldwide. Divide by worldwide population 7.4 billion. Gives chance 1:6180778 that somebody will be killed today (1:16933 per year). If Roman Empire with 57 mln people would have such rate 2000 years ago, they would have 9 murderers per day in entire Empire..

There is no single "fusion reaction". There is possible thousands different combinations. So there is no single answer to your question. The most common fusion reactions are: 1) fusion of proton-proton [math]p^+ + p^+ \rightarrow D^+ + e^+ + v_e + 0.42 MeV[/math] [math]e^- + e^+ \rightarrow \gamma + \gamma + 1.022 MeV[/math] (everywhere available Hydrogen) 2) fusion of proton-deuterium [math]p^+ + D^+ \rightarrow ^3_2He + \gamma + 5.49 MeV[/math] (hard to get fuel) 3) fusion of tritium-deuterium [math]T^+ + D^+ \rightarrow ^4_2He + n^0 + 17.6 MeV[/math] (extremely hard to get fuel Tritium produced by f.e. nuclear plants or splitting of Lithium-6 and Lithium-7) Magnetic field is typically created by superconductors,superconducting electromagnets. Creation of electromagnet/magnet, is not enough. There is also needed electricity to ionize fuel inside. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnet ITER fusion reactor use 46 kA and produce a field of 13.5 teslas.

Solar panels - effect of photovoltaics on photonic momentum
Sensei replied to Aladdin123's topic in Classical Physics
So suppose so we have spaceship with mirror on rear. And laser on the Earth, or "launcher" on the orbit, it's emitting photons toward spaceship, spaceship is accelerated each time photon is reflected (not just absorbed) (like you said by p=2E/c), then that photon returns back to the "launcher", then suppose so, there is mirror (again), which reflects photons back to spaceship, and spaceship again receives the same photon but twice reflected, then it's reflected by spaceship mirror, and again it's reflected by launcher mirror.. Repeat millions or billions repetitions., -

Google search & mislocation of result in LinkedIn
Sensei replied to michel123456's topic in Computer Help
Google position pages because they're linked by somebody (by some page) and then found by Google bot searching the net. Copy'n'paste url of "http :// nl.linkedin.com/(....)" page to Google in double quotes, and it'll tell which websites redirected Google bot to that link. Apparently they have higher rank than others. Make more links to Greek version of your website. And spread over the internet. f.e. make signatures with that link in forum posts. You should run Tor, or through proxy HTTP servers.. But he is in Greece, and searching himself result in Netherlands version of link to LinkedIn.. -
Unfortunately your compression algorithms that you presented on the forum, are... not good.. (politely speaking) So far. If you would listen our advices you could improve them. But we're so far hitting the wall with heads. No, it does not work this way. You could do that only if these 1 GB would be f.e. image of fractal. You could store just equation generating it (or complete computer code generating it like it's in self-extracting (executable file) ZIP/RAR (without having to install ZIP/RAR application) ). Run loops for x and y, 0<=x<width, 0<=y<height, getting fractal value at location, and store in pixel/offset.

No, I didn't overlook it. I ignored it. Science theory is verified or disproved using calculations. Observation of the real world event leads to equations. Equations are used again, after seeing the same or similar event. If there is difference between what equation is predicting and observed event, investigation is started, why there is difference. Say electron has shorter trace than expected. Why? After careful investigation scientist could find that decaying nucleus is emitting gamma photon after a while. And energy of this photon is equal to what is missing in electrons kinetic energy. And end up as discoverer of nuclear isomers, and new decay mode. In my radioactivity SR example, you put radioactive isotope to particle detector, and see traces leaved by particles.. The larger kinetic energy of particle, the longer trace it leaves. Not without hijacking your thread, and running into what mods would call speculation. Newtonian kinetic energy is: [math]E.K.=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/math] SR kinetic energy is: [math]E.K.=m_0c^2\gamma-m_0c^2[/math] If you would open OpenOffice SpreadSheet, make 1st column velocity, 2nd column Newtonian EK, 3rd column SR EK. And fill dozen rows with velocities going from 0...c You would see that difference between Newtonian EK and SR EK for very small values of velocity, is negligible. Newtonian EK equation has been established in times when there was no super precise instruments, either for measuring time and measuring distance, or measuring energy or force. Now they're available, and used in experiments. Or you can simply see trace of particle accelerated to velocity near to speed of light passing through..

Perhaps this world SR example would help? Imagine you have unstable particle, unstable isotope. It has rest-mass m0 (we're in the same frame of reference as that particle). But unstable isotope is decaying. To daughter isotope, and to secondary particles, such as alpha (Helium-4 nucleus), beta (electron, positron), neutrinos/antineutrinos, or others. If you sum the all relativistic-mass of products, you will get initial particle rest-mass prior decay. If you sum the all energies of products, you will get initial particle energy prior decay. Decay to two new particles: [math]m_0c^2 = m_1c^2\gamma_1 + m_2c^2\gamma_2[/math] [math]m_0 = m_1\gamma_1 + m_2\gamma_2[/math] Decay to two new equal particles (f.e. Helium-2 ->2p+, Beryllium-8 -> 2 He-4): [math]m_0c^2 = m_1c^2\gamma_1 + m_1c^2\gamma_1[/math] [math]m_0 = m_1\gamma_1 + m_1\gamma_1[/math] Decay to three new particles: [math]m_0c^2 = m_1c^2\gamma_1 + m_2c^2\gamma_2 + m_3c^2\gamma_3[/math] [math]m_0 = m_1\gamma_1 + m_2\gamma_2 + m_3\gamma_3[/math]

Take your glass with water to different altitude, where is different pressure/temperature, f.e. mountain, tower (the tallest have >500 m), and "half empty" nor "half full" won't be true anymore, as it's too imprecise statement.

I made several applications which have the all 3142 isotopes database (made by me), and calculating decay energy, and decay mode, energy released during fusion, neutrino capture (telling which material is good for neutrino detector), how much energy you need to spend on destroying nucleus, etc. etc., of every single isotope, with precision to few eV... http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/83451-radioactive-decay-and-information-split-from-what-is-real-in-physics/?p=808281 Such graph, I am generating in the real-time from db, with the all information. f.e. highlight just isotopes decaying by double electron capture.
