  1. they did take into account fuel but they anticipated an attack coming from an aircraft coming into land from somewhere else. not just having taken off a few minutes ago.
  2. the designers didn't anticipate the jets being fully fueled which is why the fire proofing failed on the structure(appart from being torn off.) if the jets had been coming into land then they would have stayed standing. and to be fair, the did survive the strike, just not the fire.
  3. well, technically they could. you can easily fit a megaton nuke in a small fishing vessel, sail it into the middle of a city with a river in it and detonate. sure, the blast isn't as effective as an air burst but it would work.
  4. think pond.
  5. well, depending on the size they might need one to stop them flopping about with the lack of gravity. not sure if they do or not but i imagine they would wear a sports bra or something
  6. it ultimately cools the drinker because the drinker will sweat more. the more you sweat the cooler you get. and with a cold drink while it will cool you down initially, you will sweat less and heat up more later on.
  7. not very accurate at all. 1/ he doesn't account for the massive amount of flammable materials contained within the three buildings. 2/ he states molten steel was falling from the towers. a note on 2/ flaming jet fuel fell from the towers which has been mistaken for thermite before. this is probably what the witness saw. also, if there were explosives wouldn't there have been more of an explosion?
  8. we do not know what the internals of a blackhole are like so you cannot assume that it is compressed to an infinitely small space. and elementary particles are treated as point particles when the are observed as particles, the rest of the time they are treated like waves. i also don't see how you jump from spread out matter being the universe and condensed matter being the inverse. the universe is everything.including the blackholes and thats by definition.
  9. HG, you do not have a theory. you have a hypothesis.
  10. i've got an energy source that involves perpetual motion machines. what we do is we gather up everybody who claims to have built a perpetual motion machine, put them in a giant hamster wheel and hook it up to a generator. obviously we'll need a incentive so we'll dangle some technical looking document infront of them with 'secret government perpetual motion machine' or something infront of them. if that doesn't work we can hand azure a(nother) whip.
  11. the tree answered you within 45 minutes and gave you the answer. if she got a C after that then maybe she was only capable of getting a C.
  12. why would a DVD burner need specs like that? i had a DVD burner on a 500MHz machine with 64Mb RAM. and i don't see why HDD space would be an issue.
  13. try polishing the coin so its nice and shiny and clean. 3% isn't ideal but you should still get some bubble formation
  14. just be careful not to burn yourself.
  15. yeah theres just a lot of crap out there. some references to articles in journals that don't exist. either the articles, the journals or both. just a lot of writing and no actual evidence. also, it mentions something about the nucleus being deformed by uneven filling of the electron orbitals. yeah what a load of crap that is. the electrons could never provide enough force the strong nuclear force dominates as shown by the fact that nuclei stay together. and another thing, white gold is an alloy. if you separate gold into its atoms so it was monatomic it would appear black. not white. there are too many holes in this. also, the fact that you cannot even answer a simple question. a question that would give some indication of whether you may even be slightly onto something? whats the matter? couldn't find a source for the concentration of RE metals?
  16. 1/ the little guy will know he is accelerating and therefore moving. 2/ velocities do not add linearly in relativity. it will be 0.9999 c or something. i forget how to do it.
  17. oh really? well, how much rare earth metals can you extract from say, a ton of seawater?
  18. yup as long as they are moving at constant speed
  19. lol. and how much chemistry do you know? if this guy really id find a way to extract something that isn't a component of dirt from dirt then there are 4 possibilities 1/ the guy is lying 2/ the guy has seeded the soil he processes with rare earth metals which would cost a fortune 3/ he has found an abnormal level of rare earth metals by fluke chance 4/ he has found a way to transmute elements with relative ease. 1/ is the most likely for 2/ he would need to spend thousands of dollars/pounds/whatever on the metals themselves and then disperse them into the soil. not likely. 3/highly improbable, these metals are called 'rare earth' for a reason. 4/ very unlikely as it wuld require massive quantities of energy and someone would notice.
  20. why would it be different? its still at a height isn't it?
  21. bucket(some kind of heat resistant plastic) of hydrogen peroxide, some copper mesh and a condenser to get rid of the steam. slowly add the copper mesh to the bucket till you get a reasonable rate of reaction(1 cm^2 at a time to start) then let the gasses given off go through the condenser to get rid of the steam and you should be left with O2
  22. how much do you want? a litre? two? ten? more? we need to know quantities before we can tell you the best method for getting it
  23. any idea how to draw a 4D event on a 2D screen?
  24. its an inverse cubic law for magnetic dipoles
  25. ah well, that would make more sense. i've still never heard of them though
