Are transistors the fundamental components of all computers?
Strange replied to Achilles's topic in Computer Science
Citation needed. Really? So an electronic steering system (controlled by a microprocessor) can only steer hard right or hard left, nothing in-between? News to me. Not the majority of transistors in microprocessors, memories and most of the other components in a computer. If you don't know what you are talking about, it may be better not to say anything. -
14 months. And I don't think that 1/8th (of an unspecified amount) is "nothing". The LD50 dose for Po 210 is about 1ug (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polonium) so if we take that as nothing, then your starting amount if 8ug. Is that enough to power anything useful? You said you needed "a few grams". Lets say, 5 grams. To reduce this to 1 ug would take over 22 years. And for most of that time it would be useless as a power source. Basically, like all your threads, you are just making stuff up without doing the most basic research.

What does this mean? can you answer my question: why do you think that “after 8 months it is no longer radioactive”?
-
That teaches us that having radioactive materials in vulnerable places (eg in automobiles) is not a good idea. And can you answer my question:

I had never heard of graphite oxide before, so thanks for that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite_oxide It is an interesting compound. But I will leave others to comment on how it might behave in this context. I am fairly certain it won’t produce diamonds though, as this requires very high pressure.

Imagining nonsense is not useful
-
I am not a mindreader and can only respond to what you write, not what you thought you wrote. So, science fiction or wishful thinking then. Maybe when you grow up you could study science and work on possible solutions. Posting nonsense on a science forum doesn't really help.
-
You know we have been to the moon? And we have sent spacecraft outside the solar system? And there are plans to send people to Mars? But you don't have any solutions.

Subatomic particles are nothing like planets orbiting. They are not solid lumps with a well defined position and speed. They are wave functions with a probability of being found in a particular place. Protons are in the centre of the atom. In string theory, all particles, such as electrons, are presented by strings. As electrons can move from one atom to another, then obviously so can strings. So not impossible. We don't know if the universe is finite or infinite.

IT WASN'T CLEAR THE TEXT WAS QUOTED. Sheesh But, apart from those links, everything was copied from elsewhere, yes? The title, the body of the text (with no quotation marks or anything else to indicate it was copied from elsewhere) all copied? And yet you said: Are you trolling or just confused?
-
Then you should have made it clear that you were quoting/copying the text from somewhere. You know, like use quotation marks. Or the QUOTE tag. So shouldn't you have indicated that you copied that as well? Your only contribution to that thread was a bunch of youtube links, then? But So which is it? You think that hallucinations are evidence for god(s) or not?
-
Because you screwed up the formatting, the word "source" can only be seen if you scroll the text to the right. As this appeared to be yet another link, I didn't see any need to do that. And as there was no reason to think the text was copied rather than your own words, there was no reason to go out of the way to identify a source. So was your title ("This is the first time science has recognized the existence of God") deliberately misleading?

Are these signs of an underlying mental disorder?

See a medical professional. -
"You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time." (Attributed, probably wrongly, to Abraham Lincoln)

Why do you think that?
-
Probably near to 100 million even if you only count World War 1 and 2. If you add in all the European wars over the centuries, it is probably more than 100 million. I don't think it was spread by warriors. More by missionaries.

Modern diet and stress cause homosexuality?
Strange replied to ritastrakosha's topic in Psychiatry and Psychology
Maybe you need to give a source because it is actually less than that. But still one of the worst in the world. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2223rank.html That may be the first sensible thing you have said. -
I think you need to explain what you are talking about. Are you talking about the biomechanics or walking? Have you googled that?

Are transistors the fundamental components of all computers?
Strange replied to Achilles's topic in Computer Science
Logic gates are made from transistors, though. So I would say the answer that the question is “yes”. (Given the other replies, I should caveat that with “modern electronic logic gates/computers”) -
Maybe. I have never known (or looked into) the reason.

But it is there twice (for some reason).
