Automatically as in small rockets that correct the orbit.

It does, but not much. Almost exactly the same orbit with occasional correction will work.

2061.

To bring the thread back on track... Sensible answer please.

Unpredictable (increase in variation from very small initial differences).

But what insults are acceptable Furthermore, it was a valid reply, because you specified that he should choose his words more carefully, which implies that he was using incorrect words; my statement proved that he was using the language correctly. Oh, and I don't see how it's insurbordination (by the definition of that word). All I'm doing is critiquing use of language, not application of forum rules.

I was referring to the first paragraph, exclusively.

Surely that argument also applies for burglary and murder? Aside from the risk of imprisonment (or similar) they sound like a good idea (talking as an individual taking the right, rather than society)

It means that the position of the electrons aren't pinpointed in a specific orbit, but 'spread out' over a volume.

Geometric explanation of gravity (assuming GR); path of least resistance. Nope, it's only circular if the velocity is precisely that required for a circular orbit, otherwise it'll be elliptical with the centre of gravity (as it were) at one focus.

Good argument. I vote for Lutze.

0^0 is undefined, because the proof for 0 powers doesn't hold.

The BBC 'Test the Nation' quizzes were about as accurate a measure of intelligence as GCSEs.

TENM is good, as is the semisequel. [edit] THE SCIENCE OF HARRY POTTER?

The main problem is that we know of nothing that happens before an earthquake that only happens before an earthquake, and always happens before an earthquake. We also can't predict the movement of the earth's crust exactly (it's a. much too complicated, and b. chaotic).

Why do people need guns anyway?

1. The atoms in the movement isn't 'chaotic', it's delocalised. 2. The planets are travelling (effectively) in straight lines in 4 dimensional space. 3. ANY STRUCTURE where there is a radial force will have an ellipsoid orbit (ignoring other bodies)

It was a term coined in the earlier part of last century by John Wheeler.

Blike is correct in that it's not done to increase the mass.

Why not READ THE THREAD?

The right to keep a weapon whos only purpose is to kill (excluding rubber bullets, but that's another matter entirely) is pretty low down on the list of vital liberties. And the police can't keep guns at home. What's the problem?

Says the person coding an online browser based space warfare game. I only administrate the forums.

What? I was replying to post 'think of dropping a bullet on a lead plate from 1 meter high, it`ll leave a hypothetical dent of say 1mm, now double it`s velocity and you`ll get a 2mm deep dent. or you could keep it at the 1 meter hight and double it`s weight and still get the 2mm dent.' that one. As to the 22 miles per second one, you'd get a mass increase of 0.0000007%.

Looking in the link I posted would be a good start.
