oh wow! It is too complex for me to comprehend ))) !!!! I'm only at GCSE level for crying out loud! I kind of get the idea of what it is trying to say, but, can't really understand how they get to that answer.

Just imagine the other people that don't really understand about it. They would think that what is going in the movie is true! I feel a lot of pity for them

intersting. I never took that formula to that much detail.

I tihkn most alkali metals, when reacted with water, form a strong alkali soultion of pH 14 or something. I don't know whether that was a rule or not however

I even thought that it was a load of rubbish. Entertaining, but the science in there was absolutely nil!

Do you mean when it is dissolved in the water? It again, lowers the freezing point.

lol! Yeah! its fun when you don't consider the scienec in it. After you bring that in, it becomes a disaster! Any movies that actaully have good science in ti, something that really is possible?

hmmm.... yeah, after thinking about it further, it doesn't!

No, not a hyperacid that would destroy the world Just the strongest alkali that was made?

Good link, couldn't explain it better. Or, what else could be done is this, the typical experiment: 1.Get a globe and a flashlight. 2.The globe already has a tilt, making it easier to understand what is going on. 3.Put the flashlight on a chair and switch it on and point it towards the globe. 4. You can see what the pictures are showing you with that set up.

What about alkalis? What is the highest they go up to? I think it is of pH 14 or soemthing, by sodium, lithium and potassium hydroxide or something

It doesn't make it colder DIRECTLY. It makes the water freeze at a cooler temperature (maybe -3 Degrees) compared to pure water that freezes at 0. That is what I meant by indirectly, as when you freeze it, it is cooler! That may already answer this question. If no, Why wouldn't it melt?

Not if they were all antimatter! But then, it becomes a paradox!

You didn't understand, the edit WAS the correction that I had made! I put it the other way round, after the edit, it was correct.

oh ok. In that case, I would say physics is completely wrong I can't get head nor tail about it!

hmmm.... maybe there is an atom behaviour reverser!

According to the Scientific American magazine, they had a little article on teleportation. Can't remember what the exact idea was about, but, they had had and idea on how to teleport humans.

Oh yeah, that metal which gets stronger the hotter it becomes. Could such thing ever be invented? And how would it work?

I hope that was an exaggeration!

Why? Is it a bit of rubbish? If yes, we're in the same boat!

Great link Swansont. Does that mean that anything dissolved in water would reduce a the freezing point? IF so, does that mean the distilled water would freeze before mineral water or hard water?

Thanx atinymonkey, you saved my time. May the ninjas always be with you!

Do you really think there is such a thing? It is possible, of course, but what acid has the lowest pH?

Well, it really doesn't make that much of a difference to which one you use. But anyways, here is the explanation: The first form that you have mentioned needs to be used when you are going to take the standard deviation OF THE WHOLE population. The second one is when you take a sample of a population ie. only some of the population {edit} Got them the wrong way round

I wonder whether the sound of the sun was ever measured! In decimels? What about a nuclear bomb? Was there ever a reading?
