I'm exactly the same way about this topic... it has a huge WOW factor for me, I posted this incase anyone else finds bio-processing interesting This could be a real breakthrough for wetware based technologies! Cheers, Ryan Jones

It should yes. They never use pure Helium in balloons anyway because its too expensive so that should work Just be careful, avoid sparks and such - it does not take much to make the hydrogen and oxygen react Cheers, Ryan Jones

Great, always nice to have members that are willing to learn. There are a lot of knowledgable people here who will be able to help you too Cheers, Ryan Jones

Could we be on the edge of the time where computers are intergrated directly with our brains? Well... not quite but this is a huge step towards such an achievement. Bio-organic processing is still in its early stages of development but is progressing with impressive speed as this new goal has been reached - researchers have actually managed to fuse brain cells with a computer chip. Sit back and watch as the computer-organism boundary becomes ever blurrier. http://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/060327_neuro_chips.html Ryan Jones

Welcome - hope you enjoy your time here at SNF with us Cheers, Ryan Jones

Sounds good to me but I am no expert so I can'ty say for shure it would work - your allowed some creative leway I believe Cheers, Ryan Jones

Welcome also. I hope there are more like these out there - I enjoyed this set very much Cheers, Ryan Jones

Keep then just reduce the values. If its very cold though then the values need to be reduced a little to make it reasonable Wish we had some astrophysicists here... maybe they would be more help. Cheers, Ryan Jones

Cl and Phosphine still need a bit of reducing me thinks. Looks like an interesting atmosphere to say the least. I'd think it would look pretty cool too - those high enery olar discharges would cause some prrtty colours in the sky... as long as they don't become progressive. Then again they don't on Jupiter so What type of planet would this be, size, composition etc. From the looks of that list it would probably have seas of liquid methane and nitrogen! Cheers, Ryan Jones

Here is a question, how far do you think humans can actually progress? I think we need to draw a limit before time travel technology although it may be possible for a very advanced race with unlimited energy supplies. Lets get some oppinions people - how far can we actually go? Cheers, Ryan Jones

Well, phosphine is highly flammable and very toxic but it does exist in the outer giants in small quantities so no problems. Acetylene is also found in the outer planets so again should be fine as long as you don't overload the atmosphere with the stuff Cheers, Ryan Jones

Not at all 1) Fluorine is a gas at room temperature' date=' you have it listed there as a liquid. Maybe this will explain better: [ce']Na^{+} + F^{-} + H^{+} + Cl^{-} -> HF + NaCl[/ce] * All noted above occur in solution. As you can see on dissolving the sodium fluoride disocciates into Sodium and Fluoride ions and the hydrochloric acid too chloride and hydrogen ions. These then react producing sodium chloride and hydrogen fluoride. Make any sence? Cheers, Ryan Jones

Hmm.. something like the setup of Jupiter and the other outer planets would be interesting. Jupiter: Hydrogen Helium Methane Water vapour Ammonia Carbon Ethane Hydrogen sulphide Neon Oxygen Phosphine Sulphur Ammonia. Saturn is pretty much the same as Jupiter. Uranus is a little different: Hydrogen Helium Methane Ammonia Ethane Acetylene Carbon monoxide Hydrogen sulfide Neptune is a little different: Hydrogen Helium Methane Ethane Hydrogen Deuteride Maybe Venus has some interesting features too: Carbon dioxide Nitrogen Sulfur dioxide Argon Water vapor Carbon monoxide Helium Neon Carbonyl sulfide Hydrogen chloride Hydrogen fluoride All of which are nasty and would be a good base for some interesting reactions Cheers, Ryan Jones

Some people think it can actually be done with things as big as bacteria although - sounds pertty strange and no-one has done it yet so it may not be possible. Cheers, Ryan Jones

No problem - this forum has given a lot, I need to give things back Cheers, Ryan Jones

Its odd, the extinctions seem to occur at regular intervals... Look at this. If I remember correctly those dates match up exactly with the time that the solar system passes through the dense part of the Milky Way's arm. Also looks like less and less species are getting wiped out each time (better evolved or there we less to wipe out?) Cheers, Ryan Jones

Heres my opinion, the only limit is our ability to evolve and adapt to the new knowledge without destroying ourselves in the process In the end the biggest goal is trying not to self-destruct. Cheers, Ryan Jones

Hmm, try this for chlorine and this for bromine. Tell me where do they use bromine in pools Cheers, Ryan Jones

Not a lot. The ball would either be massive spreading out the force over a large area nullifying its effect or be small and dense - if the latter it would simply pass through the Earth anyway... Cheers, Ryan Jones

Pure rubbish Read this The energy needed would be a lot and we would not even get close to enough. Cheers, Ryan Jones

Ah crap and I only just used up my potassium permanganate... there is bad timing if I have ever seen it Looks like an interesting experiment though - will try it as soon as my new supply arrives That sounds pretty damn nasty' date=' gloves for me then! Question: Exactly how powerful an oxidant is [ce']Mn2O7[/ce]? Can you compare it with another compound to show its relative power? Cheers, Ryan Jones

Thought some of you may find this useful, dug it up from my bot list. Looks interesting I'll watch them in my free lessons tomorrow http://bethe.cornell.edu/ Cheers and enjoy! Ryan Jones
