Dr. Funkenstein, you showed us great amount of lack of knowledge. At the beginning you should start from reading inverse square law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law Which describes how particles are emitted in the all directions by sources like light bulb, LED, Sun etc. Do you know that even this message went through fiber wire on the bottom of ocean with speed of light.. ? Fiber wire is using photons to transfer data. Buy 1 km fiber wire, 10 km fiber wire, 30 km fiber wire, connect them to laser, turn laser and measure delay.

In such cases I am simply making object in 3D application, then using boolean tool or cutting tool, and running area counting tool on newly made cross section polygons. 3D apps also come with volume calculating tools. The more geometry at beginning, the more precise result will be.

Any theory without math, just lingual philosophical talking, on this forum (and the most of other moderated science forums) ends up in trash, sooner or later. Sounds like you wasted a lot of time. Instead you should have learned everything what we know. Then you could be at least qualified opponent to discussion.

Somebody coming with ToE must be able to calculate everything and know everything. Especially basics.

Please calculate for us how much energy will be carried by particles (and tell us what they're) of decaying Tin-121 isotope. If you cannot give such easy answer, you have not even started making your own ToE.

OMG.. You have to subtract 1 because lists are starting from index 0... Human indexes are starting from 1. Computer indexes are starting from 0. If you have list with 4 elements, 1st element is at list[0], 2nd element is at list[1], 3rd element is at list[2] and 4th element is at list[3]. There is no imaginary numbers in this (completely nonsense) example.

But every time, in different place.. To some very small level, yes. But quite unpredictable source of energy. You would need to connect the all lightning conductors on area f.e. few km square together and then downgrade voltage from a few hundred or millions Volts with small charge, to lower voltage but higher charge. We have here in neighborhood metal cross (15m+) on the top of mountain (nearly 2 km high). I read somewhere it's hit by lightning once per day average. If it has average Q=15 C and E=15 MJ (wikipedia has such average) it's 5.5 GJ energy per year = 1521 kWh. If we would have no loses in transformation (unrealistic) that's less than I am alone using in 5 months (330 kWh/m * 5m = 1650 kWh). I would need 3 lightnings per day without loses just to cover mine own needs.

In that SpreadSheet you shouldn't play with first column where is time. At least not until you will understand whole equation. You change initial quantity (C2) and half-life (B2) fields. Columns D,E will be filled automatically, and graph updated. For f.e. half-life 10 seconds, and initial quantity 1000, you will see 1000,933,870,812,etc. going down quickly.

Chlorine-37 based neutrino detector is triggered by neutrinos that have >0.814 MeV energy. Which means neutrinos produced by decay of Beryllium-7 (these have up to 0.862 MeV), or decay of Boron-8 (these have up to 17 MeV). If neutrino have less energy, detector is not triggered. It doesn't mean that neutrino was not emitted. It could be emitted but remained unnoticed. Purdue University even patented their method in the US: http://www.google.com/patents/US8642960

We need to multiply measured mass of galaxy by ~500% (and call it dark matter) to match Newtons & General Relativity predictions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter "Although the existence of dark matter is generally accepted by the mainstream scientific community, some alternative theories of gravity have been proposed, such as MOND and TeVeS, which try to account for the anomalous observations without requiring additional matter." You should also read this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_rotation_curve

I have explained half-life calculation in this thread http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/83245-a-question-on-radioactive-decay/?p=806204 You can simply use that Spread Sheet with your data. current=start*2^(-time) will give the same result as: current=start*e*(-time*ln(2))

The question is whether we would recognize it as a (yet to be decoded) language. For some signal types it's very easy. For instance, put tiger to monkey's cage, and record sound they will be screaming. (Or record it in real wild world) That's sound of "danger", "tiger", "run away", "enemy". Recorded sound can be later used on different group of monkeys (same kind), or same group at different time (couple days, months, years later), to see whether they treat it the same way. That reminds me Myth Busters that tried to see whether duck quack has echo. They took single duck, but he/she didn't wanted to quack It took them some time to figure out they need two or more ducks. Apparently single duck didn't want to talk to himself/herself.. What a surprise.. See this video:

That's problem with depressed persons - bother about things that are meaningless for healthy persons.

What on Earth has quantity of possible ways of mixing words, with somebody happiness? Your problem is depression, not quantity of possible ways of mixing elementary particles, words, or letters. Do you tried taking medicine with Hypericum perforatum? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypericum_perforatum That's correct. Book with finite number of pages, with finite size of font, will have finite quantity of ways words can be arranged. Infinite quantity of stars, infinite quantity of galaxies would lead to no Universe that we know. Read about Olbers' paradox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olbers%27_paradox Although it's not reason to feel depression.

Do you know how neutrino detector is working? Perfectly stable Chlorine-37 is hit by neutrino that must have >0.814 MeV and it's changing to Argon-37, which is unstable element and decays back to... Chlorine-37 by electron capture. Argon-37 has half-life ~35 days. Cl-37 + Ve + 0.814 MeV -> Ar-37 + e- Ar-37 + e- -> Cl-37 + Ve + 0.814 MeV Detector can observe flashes leaved by decaying Argon, or count argon gas molecules. Chlorine based detector is working exclusively with neutrinos that exceed 0.814 MeV (which is quite a lot for Sun fusion f.e. p+ + p+ fusion is producing just 0.42 MeV). If Argon-37 wouldn't be decaying, or have half-life significantly longer, this reaction could remain completely unnoticed. I am working on application that will automatically analyze the all 3143 isotopes and show me all possible materials that could be used as neutrino detectors.

That's exactly what I was talking about. You couldn't not have it at primary school physics.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensity_%28physics%29

They don't have to match.. Horizontal axis is time. Vertical axis is distance from us in c unit (1=~300,000 km) I think so. It's purely theoretical. Imagine that mirror is approaching at v=2c. We have laser and sending beam of photons at that mirror. Mirror is reflecting laser to us and we measure delay between sending, and receiving. After 33-34 second that red line should be going back to bottom. I was just interested in intersection time.

Isn't sound obeying inverse square law?

The all good programmers that I met, know how to program computers a long time before going to university (if they ever went to... studying is learning how to learn.. if you learned already why to waste time for paper.. ? IT companies here are more likely hiring programmer that learned programming by himself, than those after university.. Most of job offers are with comment "no study required, you will write application in test day") Buy some books about C/C++, .NET Framework, install free Visual Studio Express from MSDN, and write programs. Instead of searching for some ready application on net, make it by yourself. You will see whether it's for you or not.

Yeah. If somebody tried to calibrate satellite dish & receiver from Astra or Hot Bird, he should know how hard it is.. I really hate doing it. 1mm in wrong direction and there is no transmission. It's plain stupid to send signal for longer distances in the all directions (following inverse square law). It would waste a lot of energy to send data where is nobody who can listen for signal. When we're sending data (and receiving data back) to/from Voyager it's directional signal, like laser, very precisely adjusted to target. And we don't send signal to place where Voyager is now visible, but where it'll be after time needed for signal to reach that location. Where is nothing now from our point of view. Airplane pilots do the same- shooting at location ahead of enemy airplane. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_%28ballistics%29

Ironic? Not at all. It was not mine intention. I simply suspected he doesn't know how to calculate it after seeing question: "if i react 91% KOH with that impure acid would the KCl be pure enough to be used in further reactions to obtain another substances with it?"

You should first learn how to calculate in moles, how to convert to grams, how to calculate concentration etc. etc. If you have 32% concentration of HCl in 1 L, how many grams do you have of HCl?

They just bought satellite & drone building company, so expect real-time maps in a couple years. You will see on map your own car on road you're going.. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-06-10/googles-bought-a-satellite-startup-to-make-maps-not-internet-connections

I am getting 2 grams as well. You didn't calculated sodium nitrate concentration.

I think so it's possible, but there must be meet couple requirements: - faster than light object must be approaching us (not perfectly directly), not receding. - faster than light object must be reflecting light. Suppose so faster than light object is flying with v = 2c to Earth, at t = 0 it's 100*c distance from us. We're sending photons in that direction (without knowing about object - similar like active radar is working), and photons are reflected from it somewhere around 33-34 seconds later, and then going back to us after 66-68 seconds after sending them. In the mean time object is long time gone. So we cannot perform yet another test. If we would be sending photons continuously in the all directions, we could see that object to be receding from us (photons send later by us, would return quicker, after reflection, than those send earlier!).
