  1. If work = force x distance, and force = mass x acceleration, then yes, you are correct.
  2. You go up in the ranking "ladder" as you make more posts. The list is detailed here:

  3. Careful there. v/t^-2 = vt^2. You meant vt-2 or v/t2. You need to remember how negative exponents work.
  4. Acceleration should always be in units of [math]\frac{\text{length}}{\text{time}\times\text{time}}[/math] or [math]\frac{\text{length}}{(\text{time})^2}[/math]
  5. It's probably related to their tendency to hide secret projects' budgets in the budgets of other projects, making perfectly legitimate projects go far over budget for no apparent reason. Makes you wonder what all they're working on.
  6. https://www.scienceforums.net Try it. It might just work. (Note the s in https.) You'll have to tell your browser to ignore that our certificate is self-signed, but it might just work. (Some links may be directly to the "old" site, so some things might not work right.)
  7. How exactly does your hypothesis fit the observations?
  8. Every research institution that does animal testing has an ethics committee that checks experiments beforehand to minimize needless suffering. The truth is that there are many experiments that cannot be performed in any other way. You can test a drug on a tissue culture, but that gives you no information about the drug's side effects or how it will interact in a more complex environment (like in an animal).
  9. Could you explain this right here? Which "inverse-square law" are you using? It corresponds to none I've ever learned. Perhaps you could explain what exactly you are doing in these equations.
  10. That should be fixed now.
  11. I think the real problem here is mainly that bascule (and later the rest of the participants) chose a very caustic style, rather than that there are moving goalposts or "agendas" going around. Another reason why things would be a lot better if we kept civil.
  12. They're pretty much equivalent. Molarity is moles/liter, and molality moles/kg, and the density of water roughly 1kg/L. That makes them very close to being identical.
  13. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382267 Support already checked in, and it is indeed in the HTML5 spec. It just needs codecs.
  14. Napoleon was actually of average height of the time. French inches were 2.7 centimeters, so he's taller than it seems.
  15. Some of those levels can be pretty challenging. I like it.
  16. If we develop the ability to drill a hole all the way through the Earth, I think it's safe to assume that stopping the planet entirely wouldn't be all that hard.
  17. Having played with an infrared camera, my question would be "they make infrared cameras that can pick up heat in air currents?" The one I used certainly didn't.
  18. So basically what you're saying is that the hypothetical kettle bacteria isn't impossible, it'd just have to evolve via a totally different set of adaptations.
  19. All it takes to start a combustion reaction is heat. You just have to provide sufficient heat to reach the activation energy of the combustion reaction and foom!
  20. You can create that with sufficient heat. Of course, you could telekinetically reassemble the atoms of the wood into the atoms of a match and then just light that.
  21. Right now we're kind of putting GUTs on hold. I'll get back to you when we've sorted everything out.

  22. Fixed. It appears I forgot to change the settings on WordPress's LaTeX plugin to reflect the new server's setup.
  23. Permanent certificates cost several hundred bucks to get from a certificate authority. Self-signed temporary ones are free. There's no difference in terms of security except you have no easy verification of if the certificate is actually from "us".
  24. Good. We're first for "science forums" on Cuil. I approve.
  25. As I said, check something like SpeedFan that can actually tell you how warm it is internally. That'll give you a better idea of the problem.
