"how possible is it that pH imbalance in the brain can cause..." Not very. The body's pH is controlled to very tight limits. There are other things to worry about.

If we assume that "market forces" act on the price then it will settle to some value or other. If the government decides to tax it then the price will be somewhere between zero and the current price. It's fair to assume the price will go down. For the sake of a discussion, let's assume the price falls to half the current "street" price. (Like Dimreeper, I'm not convinced that the outcome depends strongly on price)

Yes. Though it's important to recognise that they don't accelerate particles one at a time. They use bunches of particles to improve the odds of getting a hit.

If you are referring to the ink then yes- other colours are available. Carbon black is still going to be the cheapest option.

You are going to run into the same problem as with the camphor flame. "When performing a flame test, the colour of a flame is affected by external materials added to it. A non-luminous flame is used, to avoid masking the test colour by the flame's own colour" From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_flame

If you make it difficult to steal the petrol, the thieves might decide to take the whole vehicle. Is this a god thing?

Camphor burns with a sooty flame and the hot soot emits a yellowish white light. That will almost certainly "wash out" any colour from adding metal salts. I suspect it will work badly, or not at all. Any God who was impressed by a different coloured flame wouldn't seem to me to be worth worshipping.

The simple answer to that is "sea level" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level But even at the tops of the highest mountains, it doesn't change much. But it does mean that sensitive analytical balances in laboratories need recalibrating if you move then up and down stairs.

word salad

I guess the stones would have to be really old...

That hasn't got anything to do with magnetism has it? I walk along the road pushing a wheelbarrow. Obviously I need to apply a force to the barrow pushing forwards. Newton's laws tell me that there must be a force pushing back on me. But I'm not moving backwards so, there must be another force pushing me forwards. That force is supplied by friction where my shoes meet the ground. Without friction you wouldn't be able to walk. It's as if you have not thought this through.

Yes, we can calculate it- which means you can calculate it. You can also google it.

You seem to have forgotten what you said (or maybe you just tried to lie about it). You said And that's plainly not true. The examples I gave show electricity producing movement without magnetism. So you are still wrong, and now you look dishonest too.

I prefer this version There was a young man from Nepal Who had one triangular ball The square of its weight Times his pecker, times eight Is his number, so give him a call

No https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectricity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_motor They would do better to listen to others. OK, now you have heard from the sensible community of people who understand science...

Just looking at the coloured picture , gold, manganese and lead are going to mess up any nice smooth curve through the data. So it's not just pointless, but doomed.

"Scientific evidence to justify police use of force policies?" No. Propaganda is being used to justify shoot to kill.

No. You have entirely missed the point.

I'm guessing it's something that glows in the dark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphor

This thread is almost certainly not about phosphorus. Fieldunificationman, Please post a link or something to what you buy and refer to as phosphorus. Thanks.

Well, looking on the bright side, you are correct in saying we already have a vaccine for polio. Everything else you said is wrong.

There's some element of truth to the idea that people map shapes to sounds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouba/kiki_effect but it's not clear that it applies to complex alphabets, nor that letters are defined by the shape of the tongue or lips. There are alternative explanations for the shapes of letters- they represented object whose names started with the sound. http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/alphabet_letters_aleph.html Obviously, it's very hard to be certain.

Apart from a few special letters, (that thing they use for double s and a few accented letters) I don't think there is a Germanic alphabet. Do you mean the Roman alphabet (which is the one used on this web page)?

I never thought about the Saxons having an alphabet, but I guess their rune system counts as one. Never seen anyone whose tongue was the shape they use to represent "s" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_runes Is this another example of you not really knowing what you are talking about?

You are a fool. Curt enough? I am not the one making extraordinary claims, so it's not my job to provide evidence. Over to you...
