Short answer, centripetal force pushes it out. Long answer, the second derivative of the position vector for an object moving in a circle always yields an acceleration towards the center; and the force is felt opposite to direction of acceleration (when you brake in a car, you feel like you're being pushed forward even though you're slowing down).

I hope you're not a student trying to do this... iodine vapors are very harmful and ammonia is strongly irrative But for 1, just use stoichiometry 3/2 I2 + NH4 -> NI3 + 2H2 As a side experiment, you could collect the hydrogen gas in a test tube and you'll hear a pop when ignited with a match.

my calculator gives me the answer... but normal calculators will give you an error because the result is imaginary (a multiple of the square root of -1) .446 + -1.37i

Hopefully the rovers will put the issue to rest within the next week, but until then:

Well since aging is usually causitive of cells degrading and dying... it would have no impact at all on the ability to live forever.

No problem and welcome to the site.

Have a read of this document: http://www.medtronicphysiocontrol.com/documents/defib_booklet.pdf. Everything you could possibly want to know about defribillation (electric shock to restart the heart).

Very cool stuff, good work YT

The laws are based on emotions and racism, and the general public is ignorant, as are the politicians who make the laws. It's the classic attitude that throwing money and police at a problem will stop it, and this doesn't work on drugs because both the buyer and seller are consenting to the sale. This is what separates legalizing drugs vs. legalizing other crimes... there is no non-consenting party involved in the transaction and you're trying to stop people from having control over what they put in their own body. If cigarettes were made illegal today, and their price went up to the range of marijuana, do you think everyone would just quit, or would people take on behavior resembling the stereotypical drug addict? All evidence points to the latter, but ignorance keeps the public believing the former.

well the 4th dimension is time... so we can indeed sense 4 dimensions.

sorry, i use the google toolbar so had no idea about the popups.

I wouldn't really say proven, since it's a part of string theory... some models of which also predict 11 or 26 dimensions.

It's not just Americans; the evidence is that humans have been using drugs since we came into existance. I'd like to point out another gaping idiotic drug policy law; the drug DXM is sold over the counter, produces severe intoxication, frequently leads to addictions, causes massive, observable brain damage (Olneys lesions, where visible-on-MRI patches of your brain just die), and has a very low safety factor (officially defined as the difference between achieving the desired effect and overdosing). Yet it's completely legal because in low doses it's an effective antitussive. In fact, it's specifically exempted from the CSA. This just makes it even more abundantly obvious how arbitrary the drug laws here are.

Do you honestly think most people can use a sword to protect themselves from the bad guys who WILL have guns no matter how much you try to use the law to ban them?

Just had to share this hilarious paradigm of pseudoscience with everyone: http://www.alexchiu.com/

Well it probably took them some degree of searching to find their way here...

Well you could have a look at this thread right here at SF for the one with bad science... and have a look at reply #7 where I posted a bunch of articles with really (really) good science on climate changes.

...because theres never been a friendly fire incident not involving the US.

The R&D neccessary to develop remote controlled landmines seems like an aweful waste of money we could be using to develop much cooler weapons like phasers.

Then define dead.

Now I hear they're using a scopolamine injection to stop people from smoking... pretty effective too.

Actually that's already been accomplished if you count frozen as dead.

It facilitates a great enhancement of communication between people (much more than any other known substance), which is very helpful in psychology for identification of the sources of problems and dealing with them in the open.
