  1. On the phone with my lovable girlfriend, but all I hear is babble. ------------------------------------------- The electron went through both slits at the same time! Thanks, wave properties. When I ran head first into the brick wall, it hurt. I'm no electron.
  2. These things are a lot more fun than they seem at first. Maybe I'll do more. [ =
  3. I am not sure that the hyphenation of words is allowed in these xP
  4. Well, you can with light. It'll eventually all be absorbed into the walls of the box but it'll bounce around for a bit. I'm not sure if anyone's tried with sound...
  5. You shouldn't. Those things are bad even for languages whose grammar is somewhat comparable to English.
  6. That's a pretty horrible Latin translation... Did you use an online engine or something? >.<
  7. Well, given that the speed of propagation of the wave is constant, the graphs of versus position and versus time should be identical, I was just pointing that out. As for explanation, swansont pretty much covered it. Do you have any specific other questions?
  8. You can, too. Both of these phenomena are waves and as such can be contained by using reflective surfaces.
  9. These kinds of parasites are truly amazing. The burning sensation is not merely a consequence of the burrowing through the skin, it is intentionally induced so as to make the host immerse the blister of the emerging pregnant female in water, allowing the reproductive cycle to continue by releasing new larvae into the water.
  10. We have the same instinctual fear of heights (see "an infant will avoid a cliff"). Even in the strictest definition, we have animal instincts.
  11. Easiest to hardest -- Physics, biology, chemistry Physics I took home after the first date. Biology was a bit tougher, required some long dinner dates before we got anything on. And then chemistry, forget that.
  12. Masturbation has no lasting physical effects, especially not voice-changing ones.
  13. It sounds like you're "big idea" is about perpetual motion. So, let me reiterate. It is possible, but it is pointless. You would get far more electricity from hooking the battery directly to what you're trying to power as opposed to a turbine.
  14. Well the first problem is that these graphs are not versus time. They are versus position along the wave in centimeters.
  15. I find it funny that you took the time to explain 3) but completely neglected to elaborate on 1) and 2), the only two examples that you gave that could have led in a scientific direction in the least.
  16. Wavicle is a pop-science term that was born to eliminate misunderstanding that anything is distinctly a particle or a wave. All particles exhibit wave properties as well as particle properties, even simultaneously.
  17. A limit can have a value. [math]\lim_{x \to 8} x = 8[/math]
  18. Well the waves interact with your mouth and diffract about your lips, so it would seem that they could easily change the shape of the wavefront.
  19. In a circle on a flat plane with radius r and circumference c, [math]\pi=\frac{c}{2r}=3.14159...[/math] The Planck Length is just another number. Substituting the Planck Length for r does nothing to make [math]\pi=3.0[/math].
  20. "The Core" is nowhere near a scientific movie xP. Is that what you're referencing?
  21. Hmm, but 'moment' has a completely different article.
  22. I won't do the problem for you, but I'll give you a hint. Add line segment CD where angle CDA is 90 degrees. That should make stuff a little clearer.
  23. It has to do with energy. The whole reason ionic bonds forms is because their products are more stable, or have less chemical energy contained in the bond. So, NaCl + KI --> NaI and KCl because these two compounds have stronger (less energetic, more stable) bonds than the reactants.
  24. I didn't want to provoke hostility. I just wanted to point out that the signal IS the point. Simultaneity is relative in SR, so instantaneous transmission is hard to handle as it dives into the ill-defined world of hypothetical wormholes. Great, simple answer by Swansont that thoroughly illustrates the point that the phenomenon is, in fact, due to the fact that the signal travels at a specific velocity, that being c.
  25. The mass only appears to increase due to energy-mass equivalence. There is no growth in size.
