The topic of discussion was constrain only to "Is electric wallpaper the way forward?".. ..which is not a very well-defined topic of discussion.. But since you're not interested in my input, I'll stop..

You don't know enough about building insulated fireproof buildings because you're too lazy by too much temperatures in the winter.. https://www.google.com/search?q=fireproof+styrofoam+insulation Heating and proper insulation are the same subject. One relies on the other.. Where? "Is electric wallpaper a way forward ?" What does "a way forward" mean? i.e. what do you want to gain..
-
..I don't think I'm making any riddles in this thread.. All I said was that Brits who want to pay lower energy bills should properly insulate their homes in the first place..
-
You insulate your house against heat leakage from the outside (e.g. what is visible by taking photo), not from the inside. Otherwise, please instruct us how the British prevent heat leakage from their homes? Not really. You're talking about a completely different topic at the moment. If you expect the average minimum temperature in "winter" to be -20 C, you prepare your homes and industries differently than if you expect the average minimum temperature to be 0 C or +20 C. Are homes in Hawaii prepared for subzero temperatures?
-
If the North Atlantic Current is stopped, you will have no choice to properly insulate your homes too. In British houses I see only bricks.. doubtful that it is a layer of bricks with a 10-20+ cm layer of air with another inner layer of bricks. Oh wait, you are totally unprepared for this. Bummer. Today the temperatures are -10 C at night, -5 C during the day and this is the equivalent of your UK +5.. +10 C It will be -22 C, for two weeks, according to news media..

We use Styrofoam to prevent heat leakage from our homes. To find out where the heat leak is, use an IR camera.

It worked. They gave up attacking Kiev, Kharkov, Kherson because of inability to deliver ammunition fast enough..

Geometric Model for Nuclear Structure.
Sensei replied to Willem F Esterhuyse's topic in Speculations
43+52=95, so you meant Tc-95, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_technetium 95Tc 43 52 94.907657(6) 20.0(1) h β+ 95Mo 9/2+ Its half-life is 20 hours.. -
Not really. It works if the leader doesn't care about the lives of the people of his country and has a large number of spare people.. Ammunition (of people on the front line of battle) is not infinite (just like people). Empty weapons and soldiers will surrender, die or retreat.. Superior weaponry requires years of training of soldiers.. Airplane pilots, helicopter pilots, rocket and missile battery operators.. They die within seconds, but a new one does not come so easily.. What is needed to make ammunition? e.g. NH4NO3 Therefore, the agricultural industry can easily be transformed into the production of ammunition for war. It should be destroyed to stop them from producing ammunition. https://www.google.com/search?q=russian+production+of+fertilizers+statistics (lower availability of fertilizer also increases global food prices)

A prisoner of war captured by Ukrainian soldiers, who was a Russian prisoner who was sent to fight with/in Ukraine, said that in his group of 1,000 people, 20 survived, and he is one of the lucky ones..

A local general on the situation in Ukraine: ..So.. to prevent an attack, those in Russia (including those against their fellow mass-murderer V.P.), should "take care" of the rails..

..dunno what could be humorous about this subject.. Do you have any idea how little difference we are talking about? If one proton has a mass/energy-equivalent of nearly 1 GeV/c^2 (~938.272 MeV/c^2), then the energy to fully ionize it is 13.6 eV (i.e. makes plasma from a Hydrogen gas like on the Sun). That is, it is ~ 69 million times less. Chemical reactions release much lower energies per atom/molecule.. If the reaction releases 1 eV of energy, and the mass of the molecule is 20-50 GeV, this is 20-50 billion times less.. Mass "loss" is 1 eV/c^2..

You haven't heard, because it's just plain stupid. Aircraft are designed to fly at an altitude of 10 km and speed of 900 km/h. They are almost airtight (cockpit dehermetization is one of the most common ways of disaster). Aircraft are designed to have a streamlined shape to minimize air resistance (to minimize fuel usage). At an altitude of 10 km it is -50 C and a fraction of the pressure of sea level, so after one flight your plants would freeze to death.

Nowadays people start simulation in AutoCAD and similar CAD programs before they build anything physically.. When the simulation goes OK, they build a small model, if everything is OK, they build a larger size.. Waves can interfere and "attack" more than one would expect in some areas. To fight with it, you can try the same techniques as with sound waves e.g. an anechoic room. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anechoic_chamber

How the human eye could destroy quantum mechanics
Sensei replied to nec209's topic in Quantum Theory
Who said the human eye destroys quantum mechanics? If you saw the double slit experiment, once in your life, you would have seen the interference pattern on the screen.. so your personal observation did not "destroy" it.. -
RLE project - Huffman's algorithm/Algorithms for compression
Sensei replied to IDontKnow4003's topic in Computer Help
Sigh.. Run-length encoding is job that can be done by layman in programming within one day. Huffman's algorithm is job that can be done by layman in programming within one week. By layman = someone who has never programmed before. -
RLE project - Huffman's algorithm/Algorithms for compression
Sensei replied to IDontKnow4003's topic in Computer Help
LOL. Run-length encoding is 1000x simpler than Huffman's algorithm... Did I read right? March 2024? Not 2023? Finish at least one project before you think about a new one.. If you do it right, i.e. virtual classes and methods, adding any other compression algorithm should not be a big problem.. -
A free neutron from Uranium hitting Deuterium from heavy water? (just guessing the OP's way of thinking)
-
..it's not easy when gay men come and start hitting on you.. which happens several times a year (if it's winter), or every month (if it's summer).. The last time I had such an "accident" was a week ago.. ps. Don't you feel like a "chick" who refuses a man who wants you? ps2. No homophobe here, I gently decline.. e.g. "I'm sorry, you're a great guy, but not my type," etc.

Sometimes. Millions years ago. Sometimes. Millions years ago. It is true, but irrelevant to human-made global warming due to usage of fossil fuels.. "Global warming" is not about change on the Earth (which does not bother about such things, being just a planet), but a devastating change that will kill most humans, animals and plants. If you dramatically change the environment, living organisms will not survive, most of them. They are not accustomed to the new environment.

The Chinese and Japanese could not conquer the world - they spend too much time on paperwork:

The Sun provides energy, some of the photons are reflected straight away, some are absorbed by the atmosphere, some by the earth and water. The land and water then cool, raising the temperature of the atmosphere. Any additional unexpected gas in the atmosphere can be considered a "greenhouse gas," because its mere presence prevents the Earth from cooling to cosmic space.. When fossil fuels are burned, air O2 with 32u mass is replaced by CO2 with 44u mass. The greater mass of a molecule can accommodate more energy per molecule. So you took 3000 ppm subtracted 400 ppm, got 2600 ppm, then divided by 200 ppm, and got 13° difference just because "the atmospheric co2 has increased by 200 ppm which would result in a 1° F increase"..
