It is true that this thread contains much information; but virtually none of it is from you. The topic would be pointless and confusing reading for a beginner- mainly because it's full of errors and misunderstandings- all on your part) Also, I guess it's a linguistic thing, but referring to people as "retards" is not socially acceptable.

The biggest bug is the one I pointed out earlier. It is possible to prove mathematically that energy and momentum are conserved quantities You seem to have ignored this As I said earlier, please get back to us when you have shown the errors in this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether%27s_theorem Unless you can do that there is no point in you posting anything. The second bug is this "Work=m*h/t, m=mass, h=height, t=time (That is very fundamental! The most important thing. Most logical=obvious.)" which is plain wrong.

Well, I might not call her a crackpot- but I'd call her an analytical chemist (like me). And, as such she is unqualified to speak with authority on nuclear physics.

Most Bible scholars seem to take those passages of the book that can be shown to be wrong as "allegorical or literary while those bits which are not proven to be wrong, are taken literally. Whenever the real world shows that a passage is not true, the Bible bashers simply move it from one category to the other and conveniently forget that they used to believe it.

In a ,molecule like water the electrons that are removed when you ionise it are "shared" between oxygen and hydrogen. So, if you remove them you have ionised the molecule. You have not ionized oxygen or hydrogen. It really would be better if you started at the bottom and learned some science. This thread is like trying to explain the architecture of a city skyscraper to someone who has read a book about bricks.

That's just not true. Where did you get that idea?

"The Oxford Dictionary definition in this context is ' a disturbance of the peace by a crowd; an occurence of public disorder '." And thereby includes a Christmas carol concert as a riot. I am now asking for a third time, how did you find your riots? Also- there's no way to avoid politics in the issue of rioting.

I see that "blacklight power" has changed it's name, but seems still not done much but spend other people's money. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brilliant_Light_Power#Criticism

The physics is possible, but if you found one... http://hitchhikers.wikia.com/wiki/Magrathea

Because the outside was also moving faster than the inside when the master record was cut.

Just at thought- not worthy of it's own topic- perhaps those with a better understanding could help me with this If I wind a single turn "coil" of wire it will have an inductance. If I remember rightly, the inductance is proportional to the area enclosed. How big a loop would I need for my single turn primary to draw a viable (say 1 amp) current from the mains (call it 120 volts)? Feel free to make any assumptions you like about the size of the wire and the material of the core (we may need to pretend that the copper wire is stupidly cold so it's electrical resistance is smaller than the usual value in order to keep the Q out of the range of "stupid").

In the real world, it was a two word reply to a one word question; quite generous in a way.

It's the other part of my question that's more important. How did you find them? If you are doing this sort of research it's all too easy to fall into the Texas sharp shooter trap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_sharpshooter_fallacy There's also a concern that some of them are clearly driven by external events- the miners' strike protests were carefully coordinated (by the police or the miners depending on whom you believe but they were not "spontaneous"). Some of the events are "copycat" riots (anything Handsworth can do, Nottingham can do better). that amounts to "double counting" of one event. The London protests about the G20 summit were not a riot. It's my understanding that so called "football violence" which has little to do with the game is often stage managed in advance by groups who enjoy that sort of thing. Anti-capitalist events on May day are more likely to be influenced by the date than the earthquakes. So- how do you define a riot? Incidentally, a rough tally (I only looked at years in office, rather than month- feel free to do it properly) says that 52 of the events took place under a Tory government as opposed to 17 under New Labour. The terms in office were about 17 and 13 years for the two parties respectively. The Tories had about 57% of the time in office, but 75% of the riots/ events. To me that looks like a rather stronger (and more plausible) effect than seismology (Unless Vulcan hates Tories).

A riot in the UK twice a year seems rather unlikely. Wiki only seems to have found rather fewer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_riots#1980s What mechanism are you using to find these "riots"?

"I assume the extra heat is coming from the surrounding air " No. It's coming from the reaction of the acid with the metal. It is then given to the air- it warms the room up very slightly.

"Coe & com seem unreliable," to whom? "(algebraically) they can NOT be confirmed" Actually, they can https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether%27s_theorem You can stop now Capiert, at least until you can show why she was wrong.

You really do not have the background to understand this. An ionised atom is not, in general, an equilibrium state so it doesn't have a properly defined temperature. How could it have a melting point?

So what? The truth is that they answer to your question is no. Because they repel eachother. That's it. There's nothing more to say.

" do they freeze together, or one by one." Together " Then the question arises what if I ionize the oxygen atom to prevent it from freezing," Sodium oxide is a solid - it is frozen- but it contains oxide ions. The question is how would you "ionize the oxygen atom "? It's not possible.

The simple answer is not on their own. If you have a bunch of +ve ions they will repel eachother. You won't be able to get them close enough together to pack into a solid. You can pack them into a lattice with other ions For example, salt is made of +ve sodium ions and -ve chloride ions.

The usual model of a metal is a set of ions surrounded by a sea of electrons.

Indeed, but French is almost entirely Latin based. Prior to the Roman invasion there would have been lots of tribal languages and all of them were largely replaced. So, by comparison, English has done rather better than. for example, France and Spain who essentially lost their earlier languages. The Breton bits of France, for example would have had a language rather closer to the Welsh I posted earlier. There's also the observation that quite a lot of ideas have two words in English, the original and one derived from Norman French. The usual examples cited are the cows, pigs and sheep that, after slaughter, are presented as beef, pork and mutton. The farmers were still using the older English terms, but the cooks who had to present the food to their new Norman lords used Norman terms for the same thing. The real difficulty with saying that English is a mixed up language because we have been invaded a lot because of military weakness is that, since England came into existence (about the 10th C), we have only been invaded once, by the Normans. (Obviously the Vikings popped in for a cup of tea from time to time as well; quite a few of them settled) So, the whole development of English, since that time can not have been brought about by invaders. At that time, English looked like this. Forrþrihht anan se time comm þatt ure Drihhtin wollde ben borenn i þiss middellærd forr all mannkinne nede he chæs himm sone kinnessmenn all swillke summ he wollde and whær he wollde borenn ben he chæs all att hiss wille It doesn't look like that any more, and the difference can't be invasion. A lot of changes came about via settlement- notably by the Vikings) but that's not a military thing.

4 bankruptcies is not what I'd call stellar.

Waitforufo, you seem to have missed my post earlier about your saying " The environmental movement won't be happy until we all return to a pre 1800's primitive state. That is why they are against not only nuclear power, but any power generation." or are you tacitly admitting that you are a fool?

Air and oxygen have very similar densities. Collecting it over water will work much better http://scienceaid.co.uk/chemistry/applied/gases.html I never got the zinc/air cell to work- but I didn't try very hard http://www.edu.utsunomiya-u.ac.jp/chem/v13n1/10_2d4_1.pdf It's also important to consider what other gas might be present- for example if there is a flammable gas too, the effect of the splint might be more vigorous than you had in mind. Where is this gas from?
