  1. the ugly: they extracted 4 litres of semen from the oil sump.
  2. you know you could have just read the thread.
  3. notice how your program also says there is an angular momentum around the center of mass for both scenarios that is the same, going against what you claim.
  4. well all ice is is the solid form of water (and there are several different types of ice depending on crystal structure). so yes, something compressed to the point of being a solid is an ice. a fork is made of iron ice(fair enough with some carbon impurity, but still.). with the hydrothermal vents you have super critical water. the phases of gas and liquid are no longer distinct and hence have no meaning. it is a super critical fluod then. the same phenomenon has not been observed between solids and liquids. and for the record, its not a dumb question. it's actually quite a good one as it doesn't follow everyday experience.
  5. only if the other particle cannot be in the same space as the other particle. photons can exist in the same place at the same time as well as some other particle types. it seems you are trying to apply classical thinking to quantum phenomenon. this means your wrong.
  6. well, they're all the same thing. once you've discovered one you've discovered them all. the different bits are just wavelength regimes.
  7. when the space twin returns to earth's reference frame there is nolonger any length contraction.
  8. perhaps the US price also includes the cost of the surgery to install it?
  9. john, you have it backwards. we use the microwave emissions to make the popcorn and we use the hot air for the balloon that holds up our sky fort and then drop rotten tomatoes on the creationist 'research' place.
  10. 1/ the delivery method would depend on the what you actually produce rather than a choice made before research has begun. a lot of vaccines would be destroyed in the stomach if taken orally. 2/ i have no idea on this one but it seems likely(to me) that a vaccine consisting of a weakened microbe wouldn't require prompting while a vaccine composed of a dead microbe would. hopefully someone with more knowledge than me will clarify.
  11. no. it isn't. a simple google would have told you that (or just realising that it is a hydrocarbon.)
  12. did you heat the popcorn with the device?
  13. month old. that means the interest has probably added on a few US national debts.
  14. no its not possible. it is true that it would repel the earths field(and they do that already) but there is one major problem. super condctors don't float. if it were possible for them to float on the earths magnetic field then they'd do so already. we do know why the don't float though. the earths magnetic field is weak. very very weak. effectively what you are asking is that we build a boat made from solid lead(no hollow hull). sure, when you put it in water there will be just as much buoyant force as there would be with any other material, but its too heavy to be supported by it and it'll sink like a brick. faster than a brick even. it also wouldn't repel other objects in space unless they had a very strong magnetic field. and the super conductor will be repelled just as much as the other object is.
  15. in the super critical regime there is no difference between a liquid and a gas. they are no longer seperate phases.
  16. pressure is how. there's lots and lots of pressure.
  17. not a pure vacuum, just not a true plenum.
  18. avoiding psychiatrists is not the best of advice. they only prescribe medications if it is necessary. his problems are likely psychosomatic possibly stemming from a period when he had a trapped nerve or something that actually caused shock like feelings. the fact that he is suffering from paranoia and a persecution complex(he believes someone is attacking him and him alone with advanced weaponry) indicates that psychiatric help WOULD be useful.
  19. actually the four inner most moons are Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea and Thebe. also, withthe inner system, a lot of the lighter particles and gases were just blown away from the sun leaving less stuff to make planets from. this didn't happen with jupiter.
  20. he wouldn't be smaller but he would have measured the distance he travelled as less than what the stationary observer measured.
  21. not sure how thats relevant butta
  22. mokele, it is precisely because we are the only example of 'intelligence' that the machine intelligence would strive to better itself. since all we have to go on is ourselves then it is very likely that a lot of the processes that need to happen for there to be an intelligence of some kind will be copied from us. and hence give the computer monkey like qualities. however, this is not to say that the monkey parts won't be discarded in the process of the intelligence improving itself. but initially it would not surprise me if it was human/monkey like.
  23. we could be here for months at his rate.
  24. i hope you realise that there are different levels of technology. it wasn't so many thousands of years ago that stripping bark off sticks and chucking rocks at each other was our frontier of technology. just because technology is less advanced than our own does not mean that it is not technology.
  25. you're obviously just trolling, so i'm outta here.
