wtf you talking about? its all there, pages and pages of threads. ***removes the little tablets from the tree's vicinity***

sounds a lot like the potato cannon i accidentally blew up a while ago.

yeah i know. just felt like being difficult

well, if there were no cooper pairs then it wouldn't be a superconductor

NOOO! the kittens power our psuedoscientist destructoray. put it back!

Gutz, sucking up won't get the shackles off any quicker. it took me to post 500 to realise that.

well, the photons break down in to two smaller photons by this process, say we have a high energy photon that breaks down into a electron-positron pair, these then attract each other and annihilate, this usually leads to 2 seperate photons of lower energy(~half of the origional) but while this would slow it down, it only occurs at the particle stage, when its still a photon it still goes at c.

the forum symbol was picked cos it looks cool. not whether it has any significant and accurate scientific merit. there are no rings around atoms. you sound like you've picked up a kids 'Big Book of Science' and taken it for cutting edge and 100% accuracy. seriously, go buy a REAL quantum mechanics book or even a low level chemistry book would suffice to shatter your rather simplistic and erroneous view of atoms.

you don't know the current theories describing the structure of the atom do you? electrons do NOT orbit in rings.

umm... take the volume that escapes over a day or so then work out the mol value. then use that to calculate the number of atoms per second. accurate it won't be but its better than nothing.

calculate the number of helium atoms escaping the balloon per second then get a source with the same number of bequerels in activity. preferably more so it lasts longer, although it may pop.

YT, radioactive decay. specifically alpha decay.

ok, so today i passed the 2000 post mark. god i feel like a geek. i mean, if YT hadn't shackled me to this computer that can only access this one site then i might not have made it to this ungodly number. I WANT TO BE SET FREE! yeah, there be some alcohol involved with the writing of this post.

hasn't seen the simpsons where homer trys to see something written on the back of his head.

the helium atoms velocity can easily exceed the escape velocity of earth so will evapourate away into the 'vacuum' of space.

Have you read ANYTHING at all about quantum physics? i'm pretty sure a couple of million experts can't all be barking up the wrong tree.

try looking for old chemical engineering books. you'll probably find a couple that will go into more detail than you ever thought possible about a couple of those things.

yes it makes a magnetic field but it is irrelevant to the experiment as has been experimentally and theoretically proven.

ehh what? i didn't follow that at all. look up mass spectrometers. same principle. an electron beam is fired into a uniform magnetic field. due to the charge of the electron, it curves the radius of this curve can be used to find the mass assuming you know the velocity of the electrons and the charge on an electron and the strength of the field which we do. this allows us to calculate the mass by some equation i can't remember because i haven't used it in years.

easy, you get it to turn round in a magnetic field because of its charge and by measuring the radius at a known velocity you can accurately determine the mass.

can't say it is. neither did TV kill the art of conversation. TV and computers have lead to some of the most interesting conversations i've ever had.

sooo, you left them out because you are insecure about your sexuality and fear being called a homosexual even though you have a slight tendencie to enjoy some feminine things? if you were a real man you would list them.

hmm with that much weapons grade balonium we could destroy this arm of the galaxy.

nice to see you have a sense of humour. actually its just i find theoretical physics a tad boring. and mind warping with extra dimensions and stuff. i'll stick to 5 and be happy.

still it be funny to see him beaten to death by freddie mercury impersonators wielding lollipops.
