yeah it would drop but we can calculate how much it would drop. the energy output is proportional to T^4

if it involve making 2*10^30kg disapear we can only assume that involves antimatter in which case we will be cooked by gamma rays and it won't matter anyway. the earth would be vapourised though so his question is moot

i reckon earth(at least its surface) would get very cold very fast unless its near an ocean where there would be a delay of a few weeks maybe. The sahara can drop from 40+degrees C in the day to below freezing at night. i imagine the rest of the world would cool at a similar rate.

not a clue. the limit of my knowledge with engines in cars is that if you turn the key, it starts most of the time.

it would be inaccurate way of doing it. on a (really) windy day the thing would pop up even if you were sitting still. how about hooking it up to the speedometer which will show your true ground speed.

Ok, i just finished reading digital fortress by dan brown and decided to make a little code of my own. 85-80-80-84-73-69-83-81-70-70-69-73-68-88-74-74 in here there is a code word use the [ hide][ /hide] tags(without spaces) to submit your try. The winner gets a free air guitar complete with air amp and air leads. i suppsoe you'll be wanting a clue to start off with or something, so here it is: after fractions

and the award for most appropriate reference to the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy goes to, OLIFHAR!! that was classy.

The fact that blikey boy is awesome and god of SFN?

*sniff* i smell homework! look for patterns, multiples, divisions, additions, squares.

Thor, tsolkas has been refuted ad nauseum and has never replied to any critisisms. There is a limit to how far you can push outside the boundaries of mainstream physics and still be possible. tsolkas is well beyond that limit.

i knoiw some plants have bacteria in little nodules on their roots that make nitrogen compounds from the nitrogen in the air. its the closest thing i can think of other than the insectovorus plants.

as long as ther was an additional force(a rocket engine or a magnetic field for example) that was acting towards the center of gravity then, yes yes it could.

I have to go with italy on this one as most of my family are italian.

hey why don't we all just ditch our languages and take up klingon. it'll make things so much easier. we don't even need a written language anyway. /sarcasm

I think it would be possible as an oxygen cvering 2 of the carbons is possible. trimetaoxybenzene maybe?

i caught his beer in my mouth. IT'S A MIRACLE!

neutron bombs still take a large chunk out of the surrounding enviroment. its just a nuke that happens to have an extremely high neutron output that is lethal at a larger radius than the blast wave.

WOOO! /me hands an electronic beer to the server.

you need to know how long it took to come to a complete stop or at leats finish accelerating due to the force of impact.

i still don't see how nasa can continue to ignore the engineering genius of duct tape. just slap it over the crack and it's good to go.

the image worked an i now have a nice new shiny 120GB drive on my lappy.

reor, the partitioner in ubuntu sets a minimum size to resize a partition which is the size of all the data contained in the partition. it won't let you resize smaller han that.

methane really isn't a fuel for vehicles but you could pump it into the gas pipes for use in cooking.

maybe the pressure exherted by the projectile impacting a surface?

It already exists. anaerobic bacteria(don't need oxygen in the atmosphere to live) produce methane and are found in landfill sites. we can collect the methane gas and burn it as fuel.
