It only gives the positive values because logarithms only deal with positive numbers (in the set of real numbers anyway). It's like asking why |x| always equals a positive.

Help, my cat's stalking my sofa.

It was called Krakatoa, and if memory serves erupted in 1872.

It is covered in ketchup. ps. Appreciate my ramblings?

Oh, and don't say 'Why aren't there any transitionary organisms!' because ALL organisms are transitionary organisms. It's not like it was a bird and then POOF! it's a fish or something.

My monitor shows a resistance to yellow sticky labels.

Since when was cosmology 'very very small scales'?

Did you see that my post was a link? <3 nodrog <3 btw

I wasn't taking physics though, except as a module.

All the chemistry I learnt at uni was physics, and obviously so. Things like the Schroedinger Wave Equation

Because some things (like behavioural analysis) aren't covered by physics.

Demonstrated through the power of MSPAINT! FEAR THE PAINT!

It all depends on your definition of the word 'qualifies'. It could refer to 'qualifications' or it could refer to 'qualities'.

That's silliness; chemistry's entire remit is within the role of physics, whereas physics deals with much more than chemistry. If you notice, there's shared elements between biology and (chemistry and physics), yet some elements are seperate; these are more behavioural areas, which we cannot explain through physical law as of yet. We can explain all of chemistry through physical law.

Since when were the chemical principles not physical principles? Venn venn venn!

To quote Richard Feynman, 'All these rules (talking about chemistry; things such as the periodic nature of the elements) were ultimately explained in principle by quantum mechanics, so that theoretical chemistry is in fact physics.'

OK. I'm 6'7.

That tends to be a railgun similar to the one the cambridge engineering department have on open days; it deals with solid projectiles of magnetic elements, rather than clumps of charged particles. It also isn't very long (6m for a particle accelerator is nothing). etc etc etc.

Hold on, why am I reading my texts on magnetic/electric fields, spec rel and the like for something so worthless?

Huzzah

I was working it out, but the envelope I was working on (my only source of paper) has run out of space.

That's craziness

what happened to the quote button?

Depends how large the slug is. I would work it out if I had some paper (Go go gadget SPEC REL!)
