  1. antimatter is chemically indistinguishable from normal matter if you ignore the nasty effects of matter and antimatter colliding so yes the universe would be the same.
  2. wavelegnth of a particle wavelegnth = plancks constant/momentum usually very very tiny
  3. methane would still exist in the atmosphere if we died out. its not only produced by us humans.
  4. or get a friend who's a stoner. same thing but you don't need to feed him and you can occasionally have a conversation about some random thing that turns out to be quite interesting. for example are triangular sandwiches better than square sandwiches?
  5. heh, i'm on a few places on the intar web but google won't turn me up of some reason.
  6. i suppose but its more common for things against the mainstream(well, at least the really nutty ones) the ones that stick to mainstream tend to be the older generation who spent their lives working i out(like einstein and QM(
  7. ecoli, not every body is in such a prominent position to be picked up on google. being in an orchestra means that you name is likely to be on a site about the orchestra, being a shelfstacker in a supermarket means your very unlikely to crop up on a google search.
  8. its really just someone who jumps on any idea that goes against the mainstream and doesn't let go even if there is an extreme lack of evidence that the hypothesis is true.
  9. try sites like friends reunited everybody in my class at highschool signed up after we left
  10. another option being considered is "super" capacitors that are getting damn close to storing the same energy as batteries. eitherway a switch to hybrids is a step in the right direction. after all, once we have a decent electrical system behind the engine all we need to do is switch the power source from an IC to a fuel cell.
  11. An AK-47??? not really the preffered show and tell item. i have no problem with people who let kids use guns as long as its under supervision by a responsible adult but letting a kid take a gun to school? thats just wrong. no kid should have a gun. they should definitely go to jail. especially since its an assault rifle ffs. jeezus.
  12. i thought you were asking for clarification on what the chemical actually was whether mono, di, tri etc.
  13. but we shouldn't need to use them even as a detterent. why the hell are people fighting all over the place? i honestly can't say that i see a perfectly good reason for it.
  14. well, according to my chem structure lecturer last year it could have a "huge" tm effect. never mentioned anything more than that unfortunately so it could be anywhere from a slight shade difference to decreased reactivity
  15. yes well, i was taking use to be involving the detonation of nuclear devices. the deterrent isn't more than them sitting there decaying uselessly
  16. terraforming, planetary defense against asteroids, comets and the like. other than that, none. what do we use them for now? nothing. if we don't need them in the future then we won't build them in the future.
  17. also ortho, para or meta with the methyl, they would have different properties
  18. when we're mature enough to not have occasion to use it as a threat and deterrant
  19. i wouldn't trust anybody with a nuclear bomb. we most definitely aren't ready for them(maturity wise). i already have a hole in my back garden, i could make a steel-lead-steel cover for it if things started to go off.
  20. near or far infrared? near infra red can be detected by removing the IR filter from the lense assembly for far IR you need some pretty uncommon optics and sensors.
  21. your better with a heater and no air movement(apart from internal convection), insulation isn't a bad idea either.
  22. obviously not the ones i've seen then. theres the movies everyone thinks rock because there a crushed up car and then theres to ones of the bodies.
  23. i'll let that slip... for now.
  24. i always liked the psychological torture of showing them uncensored photographs of drunk driving accidents. put them right off trying it again. if they ain't reduced to tears increase the gore level
  25. depends on which taste you prefer, i like it unmelted better.
