Rock on! congrats on getting tickets.

i agree with the tree.(some how i never thought i'd say something like that, then again i never thought i'd know someone with the nickname " the tree" either). anyway you seem bored, i'm going skydiving in june this is the most fun you can have with your clothes on(although with the club i go to clothes are entirely optional). i seriously suggest you try it. it costs a bit but its only a once or twice a year thing for me. </adrenaline junkie rant>

yeah its one of those rules that has a few exceptions. buckyballs are all carbon and organic. well so says the mass spectrometer in my uni. i'll assume its accurate.

yes but there are massive pressures inside the earth. suddenly theres going to be nothing holding them in. and what happens with high pressures, thats right an explosion(not necessarily a quick and dramatic bomb style one but i couldn't think of a better word.

try skydiving, bungee jumping, abseiling or eating cookies. life rocks. you sound like you need a good adrenaline rush. you could start with a rollercoaster and work your way up.

Well theres always a few exceptions in chemistry. its practically a rule that ever rule has an exception.

sorry, 5614, even i don't know what the hell i was saying then, thats what alcohol and sleep deprivation do to you. What i meant to say was, the binding energy has mass, when you split the atom the energy is released and so is the mass of the energy(obviously) so half a gram of energy was released but no matter was destroyed (number of protons, neutrons etc. in = number of protons, neutrons etc. out) sorry again for being incomprehensible.

in addition to what swansont said, if you have overlapping(a mixture of elements) spectral lines this can also increase the brightness.

yes. alloys in particular. also if you mix finely powdered organic compounds you get melting point depression. as a lab experiment this sucks but can be used to analyse purity.

1. discrete units means a multi atomed ion is acting like a exceptionally large monatomic ion. for instance lets takea methyl carbocation(methane missing a hydrogen and an electron.) so we have [CH3]+ this will act like its just a generic monatomic positive ion ie [X]+ where X is any element you want. 2.organic and inorganic classification is really a hold over from the early days of chemistry, organic compounds were thought to only be produced inside a living body because they needed a life force or something. then some geezer made urea in a lab. so now any compound that is based on carbon(and includes a selection of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and less commonly sulphur and the rest of the main group elements) inorganic compunds are everything else. 3. the coldest temperature you can get 0K where K stands for kelvin(sometimes called the absolute temperature scale) this is -273.15*C at this temperature all atomic motion stops, there is no kinetic energy.

no i wasn't talking about the amount of matter. just the mass, well binding energy mass.

but it did convert half a gram of mass. possibly what the the tree was meaning, only he can tell us for sure though.

gcol, it can propagate at any pressure where the gas still acts as a fluid and not a few widely spaced bouncy balls

another one bites the ignore list... no consistent argument, no reliable evidence, logical fallacies aplenty and he labels people who don't agree as some kind of druggie. even sunspot isn't on my ignore list.

well seeing how it falls down at the introduction by getting CRT's completely muddled up saying its ionized gas and not electrons i would say the credibility is a bit low. and it says those ions have a mass of 9.1E-31kg(the mass of an electron) thats a bit light for any gas as a proton is on the order of 1E-27kg IIRC. my thoughts, bunk of the highest order. <additional> wait, it says electrons and positrons are charged "hidrogen" atoms, 1, too light 2, electrons are part of a hydrogen atom.

well legnths smaller than the planck legnth technically don't make any physical sense so you could say thats the smallest unit of legnth. just google up planck units

its perfectly possible to apply a force to a planet to move it. its just with current technology we can't produce enough thrust for it to be measurable.

ahh silver nitrate fun stuff that i got a nice new stain from that today. just look up the density of gallium and then you can work out what volume you'll get with 5 grams. i don'r expect it to be much.

yes. there is nothing in it so i don't see why not.

if your going to the bother to simulate life you might as well simulate death. maybe we're some complex version of avida or something

the smell is chlorine. albeit very very dilute otherwise you'd start coughing up various organs and various other vitals. Urine doesn't cause the smell since even a freshly cycled(emptied and then refilled, usually to perform some major maintanence) pool will have the same smell.

i think prime evil found the happy pills.

Explains how i can find stuff so easily in the chaos of my room. i notes for a carpet just now.

The peon is about to experience natural selection first handed methinks.

In science a hypothetical situation still has to obey the laws of physics. which you seem to see as inconsequential.
