  1. yeah plutonium is toxic when injested no matter how little you intake for radiation therapy you don't use things like plutonium. the only radioisotope allowed for injesting is carbon-14 you will never find what you are looking for, and if the question would later result in an experiment you may want to read this http://www.nrc.gov/materials/miau/med-use.html

    Anarchy

    yeah damion you are talking abuot socialism or in this case libertarian socialism, not anarchy. however in the case of anarchy the reason why it wouldn't work is this. imagine a society that has 2 achers(sp) of land. someone wants to take an acher of land to make a big house for himself and himself alone. thats half of the entire groups land that he would control. of course everyone else wouldn't like this as they need the land to grow food and everything else. so the rest of the group says that him building the house would not be fair and he cant do it. however at this point you know longer have an anarchy you have a central authority (the group) anarchy is impossible unless you have a single family out on an island somewhere

  4. radio telescopes are also used to study stars and such so even if et wasn't there they would have a use

  6. do you mean in the realm of killinga tumor using radiation therapy? if so I would ask this in the medicine section other than that radiation won't produce therapeutic results and this thread should be in the pseudoscience section

  8. source please molecular man also how could that support plate tectonics unless the plate that the north pole rests on was a giant magnet?

  10. I believe if you continued like that the average male would be required to live until the age of fifty so you would eliminate most genes on the y chromosone that are detrimental (only if you did this for dozens of generations). and many other genes that are detrimental to your health that affect males as well as females a genetisist would be better at analyzing and explaining that case better than I could

  12. well, some of the genes that we consider detrimental could be helpful obesity, there are several genes that mitagate fat processing (anybody seen a genetisist) now while this is detrimental in modern society in the event of a global catastrophe it is actually a benefit, because a slower metabolism allows you to eat less. also cancer and other such ailments that come after the age of 30-40 are not factors in natural selection. as natural selection only applies to those incapable of producing children (or surviving long enough to) if everyone was only allowed to have children after they turned 40 then only genes that could allow a person to survive for that amount of time would continue through the gene pool. then later if you changed the requirement to 50 and then 60 over the course of several hundred years. the average life span would have been greatly increased. this has been studied using fruit flies
  13. but what about in the case where matter is being expelled out the back of the craft to produce thrust. I suppose it would increase in relativistic mass and produce more thrust when it is shot out the back right? maybe someone who knows a bit more about it than me can figure it out. (the example assumes that you had a really powerfull engine that allowed you to get that fast in the first place) (my point in the example is that you can have different reference frames on the same ship)
  14. maybe our static is anouther aliens communication? maybe aliens turn on the radio here a mets game and just say to themselves "damn static"

    E = mD

    well, the implications of what you said are that instead of E=mc^2 it is in fact E=md (this would mean that a particle had some way of knowing how big the universe is) you can't draw a distinction between the whole universe and a section of it. the only way in my mind you could make E=md work would be to link the speed of light to the size of the universe. this way both E=mc^2 and E=md work.
  16. well you will always get either a higher or lower percentage than 50% for a coin toss or higher/lower than 10% for a 1-10 random number generator. also according to statistics all events are independant. In other words if you flip a coin and call it heads, and it is heads, then you flip it again and call heads, the probability of it being heads again is equal to the probability that it was heads last time. so you can go on a ten run streak of being perfect, as it is always equally likely that you will guess right. now true proof of pshycic abilities to me would be a 70-100% hit rate on a 1-10 random number generator. then, being able to replicate the results on demand.
  17. the moab is the sequal to the daisycutter and is scheduled to replace it. also in my first post it should have been <1kiloton however this still can cause large civilian casualties if there are any populated areas within several miles
  18. the moab is intended to clear jungles for landing fields. its not intended as a frontline weapon of war. also what really frightens me is the fact that our (americans) military is developing small nuclear weapons (>1kiloton) for use as bunker busting warheads
  19. it sounds like your asking the question if you were at the center of the universe which way would you fall. I personnally think you would almost hover. however I have no idea really so I would wait for someone to come and give some good solid math
  20. http://www.cerncourier.com/main/article/42/5/10 any thoughts I was also wondering how can any neutron star still be considered a star? it would seem that al fusion would have stopped if it was truly composed of neutrons.
  21. I have said it before and i'll say it again if you can't define a dimension it doesn't exist how can you define a point or an object in more than 4 dimensions Ill start believeing it I do know the whole idea of strings wrapping around dimensions and keeping them small but, why bother talking about them if their that small. It would seem that you could say that there are millions of dimensions that are just really small and strings wrap around them and keep them small. I do like the idea of strings themselves just not all of the hoopla that comes with them
  22. you can't carbon date the universe the age of the universe is found by looking at the cosmic background radiation (you do something with redshift rates and get the age of the universe (I don't know how this works other than that))
  23. except alot of those theories postulate that when the universe collapses time will run backwards
  24. what was the range of numbers? i believe the probability would be 1/1000 if it was 1-10 however if that is not repeated multiple times (the pattern persists after many trials) (more than 10) I would consider it a statistical anomaly. if you could maintain the pattern for that long, I would try a different random number generator (I'm sure you could find dozens of these). This would ensure that the program your using works, and is not just following some pattern that you subconsciously found (or something else) also it doesn't count if you run the experiment thousands of times and you get a pattern out of it. this would just be because you did it so many times you got lucky do it with a couple of random number generators, and if you can write a paper on it and get famous for being a true precog.
  25. well normally you observe something by shining light on it. I'm pretty sure that the moon is constantly being bombarded by light
