  1. That law only applies to normal reactions... it's more of a practical law than an absolute law.
  2. Not always.
  3. It's not just different response, it's different structure up to the macroscopic level.
  4. Personally I never believed the speed of light is a fixed constant anyway. Spent many many hours arguing with my physics teacher over it. Also on that site, http://www.ldolphin.org/cdkgal.html
  5. Almost there. We can already store (this article) and process (quantum computing, we're up to 7qubits now) information using single atoms. With the approach in this article, a memory chip the size of a tomato could store all the books ever written.

    Geology

    Interesting theory. It raises a few questions... like do the canary islands really have enough land TO slide to cause a tsunami that big? To cause a rapid plate shift, the tsunami would have to be a good part of the size of the entire pacific ocean. And what about that giant impact crater down in the Yucatan.
  7. Yeah, it's a what if thing. That's part of the method. You develop an idea of how something works, then you test that idea. If it works, great, if it doesn't, your idea is wrong, and you don't set aside the observations that contradict you and keep on saying you're right.
  8. In order to qualify as science, the scientific method must be applied.
  9. Yeah why bother backing up bullshit with more bullshit. Knowing what something isn't is not the equivalent of knowing what it is.
  10. Define true crop circle. Classical crop circles with intricate patterns (what I thought we were talking about) are not meridionally varying zonal flows on beta-planes.
  11. can we get another bump here
  12. Thread spin gravity - magnetism postid 2205
  13. mr. spin-gravity-caused-the-circles zarkov, who is already back.
  14. Oh please, there's no way gravity could propagate in such a way and with such force in a highly localized area and unnatural pattern that is confined to fields. Let me give you an analogy: we don't fully understand how the brain works, but we can say for certain it's not little elves in there sitting at mini-computers.
  15. To detect something smaller than a neutrino would could create a dense field of neutrinos (containment is an interesting problem, though I suspect a gravitational field could hold them) and watch for collisions. And then use a field of those particles to detect smaller ones, and so on and so forth
  16. I watched a show a while back when they talked about how things were in a crop circle. They showed that given the shape of each stalk they were crushed from directly above, and not from a car or a tractor. Not sure if I believe that, as I haven't seen really technical details (is was on a tv show) or went out there and seen for myself.
  17. 26 dimensions
  18. I'm not sure, but for one thing it's not "spin gravity" as zarkov claims.
  19. Heat is a measure of molecular movement, with the density of a black hole atoms cannot move as freely.
  20. Yeah the theory says it's impossible, didn't say I agree with that.
  21. Not soon, but one day.
  22. Bye.
  23. Like I need your consent to close your thread.
  24. According to theory 0 Kelvin can't be obtained, so we couldn't even begin to guess what a system at absolute zero would be like.
  25. Physicists at the University of Wisconsin have created a way to manipulate individual silicon atoms in a lattice to express binary digits. 1 silicon atom is surrounded in a cell of 20 atoms the keep the target one from interacting with others. It is the presence or absense of this central atom that is read/written by a scanning tunneling microscope as a bit. This is compared to other means of storage: 20 atoms for a bit in this system, and 32 atoms (64 for 2bp+backbone). The replication rate for DNA at room temperature is 600bp/s, but silicon could theoretically be read at 10^7 bits/s. Density compared to conventional disks is also talked about. The highest density ever achieved in conventional hard disks is 100Gbits/in^2, while silicon would permit 250Tbits/in^2, which fulfills Feynman's prediction all the information in all the books could be contained on a cube 2/100ths of an inch in size. Here's UW's press release and here's the paper
