Roman calendar is what is being used right now, it's suppose to end in 2011 around May of the year. When that happens something is going to happen?
 
Yeah!

Yup, something's gonna happen after May of 2011. It's called "June!" :wave:

No. The Gregorian calendar is what is used right now, and has been since 1582.

See HERE for further info.

Yow!

Does that mean we ain't gonna get June, after all? Shucks! :grinthumb

WRONG WRONG WRONG

Actually am very Qualified in these matters (Dont like to be Vain)

so wont quote any letters after my name or etc...
At least I have no illusions about my vanity. I don't think you have any letters after your name. If you do, they should be forcibly taken away.
pcaceit said:
so at sub atomic level are none of the particles solid?
That is correct. They are not solid in the way you think of things as solid. They do not behave like, say, marbles or ball bearings.
pcaceit said:
so you would suggest that even the tiniest known particle is also made up of some similar scheme like the Atoms of which they are a part of! and infinitely reccuring for all particles of particles of particles of particles..............................
No, I wouldn't suggest that. I'm not saying there aren't infinite layers of sub-particles, but I don't think there are.
pcaceit said:
and all of these held together by force only?
Yes. Forces are the ONLY things that hold ANYTHING together. If this doesn't seem obvious to you, then your idea of what "force" is flat-out wrong.
pcaceit said:
and none of these sub particles ever actually physically in contact at all levels, so therefore force increases exponentially as thing get smaller? which it would have to for anything to actually hold its form, so are you saying that there are even more significantly energetic reaction than Nuclear Fusion and Fision? so are the models of atomic structure apply to infinity because nothing is ever truly solid or in contact with anything else???
Like I said before, the 1/r^2 dependence of many forces (electric field, magnetic field, gravity) is accurate on the macroscopic scale. On the atomic scale, things do not have a well-defined position, and do not therefore have a well-defined distance from each other. The 1/r^2 approximation does not work well on this scale.

If you have a formula or explaination of how this all works then i will hail you with much respect.......
i * h * derivative(Psi(x,t),t) = -h^2 / (2m) * derivative(Psi(x,t),x,x) + V(x) * Psi

where
Psi(x,t) = the wave function, a function of position and time
i = the square root of (-1)
h = hbar, a universal constant
m = the mass of the particle
V = the potential, a function of space
derivative(a,b) = the derivative of a with respect to b
derivative(a,b,b) = the second derivative of a with respect to b

That's the one-dimensional time-dependent Schrodinger wave equation. It's an empirical formula, but basically all of quantum mechanics is derived from it. Just solve that equation for Psi for a given potential V(x), then normalize Psi. Psi^2 gives you the probability density of the particle as a function of space and time. The 3-dimensional Schrodinger equation is even more complicated.

You guys hav no idea how freaking bored i m right now, ive been on here all night waiting for ppl to reply to my thread......... no one does, so im forced to.............................................................................................................................................................................................................
you guys ever think that maybe all of the planets in the universe are actually cells of an even bigger life form, and all of the intelle gent life is just a disease like cancer to all of these planets or cells ,(im not a friggin treehugger, but what were doin is distroying our planet, were so damn smart were stupid) i beileave that all of the life on earth came from mars(its so desolate an inhospitable), i think that we have already distroyed that planet or 'cell' and are trying to distroy earth but thats kinda off the subject of aliens, im just saying what i think all life is about


when u say "you guys ever think that maybe all of the planets in the universe are actually cells of an even bigger life form, and all of the intelle gent life is just a disease like cancer to all of these planets or cells" did you get that from the matrix? :p but seriously theres a quote from the matrix is when an agent is talking to morpheus talking about humans says

"you are just like a cancer, or plague... and we are the cure"

heh :p

but my whole opinion on the thing is, sure theres aliens but not anywhere near where we are i mean so far away that no matter how fast you could ever go you could never get there, ever.
it is a weird subject to think about though...
 
liquid vs solid

Mr Deuterid- I know nothing of mass, particles, or almost anything else- but I know this

I once saw cornstarch climb out of a glass and over the edge!!!

so there :wave:
 
There is a impossibly small chance that there isnt anything else out there to be honest, in compared to how big the universe is its obvious there is something else out there. So yes, I definately do.
 
false

hewybo: I heard that if you cool a bowl of Jello down to 2-3 Kelvin, it becomes sentient and tries to kill you.

I have accepted this challenge in a previous life, and it is not true. It was, in fact, a hard-fought and classic struggle, but me and my trusty super-heated (by Prescott) chipping hammer vanquished the gelid stone.

In truth, it was NOT trying to kill me, but only to "chill me completely out!"
Little did it know that that I was already way too cool!! :cool: ( I did, however, lose most of my head hair to frostbite.) :angel:
 
This thread has died down a bit, but I just found another gem and can't help myself.

Has anybody even studied what an atomic explosion would be like in space? Can it even do ANYTHING without oxygen?
Atomic explosion. Atomic! Not reduction-oxidation reaction! Of course it can occur in a vacuum! As for a nuclear explosion, you'd get a radiation burst in all directions, and a puff of gases expanding rapidly. Yes, it's been studied before.

Lots of things will chemically explode in a vacuum, as well. Like, I dunno...solid rocket fuel? Pretty much any solid explosive with its own built-in oxidizing agent will work in a vacuum.
 
No tomato juice

Guess we can rule out green tea, V8 juice, and tomato soup- as all these have so many dang anti-oxidants! :rolleyes:
 
Jello

It's TRUE ABOUT THE JELLO THING!!! If that was just a joke or something you've heard, try it... U will need dry ice to do it.. But DONT DONT DONT. Person at a party back 18-20 yrs ago decided to try it in his grandfathers basement (grandfather, worked for Pfizer, a pharmacutical company).. He had the necessary ingredients. Nobody would go down with him, but an hour later he never came back up.. Nobody has ever seen him since..

THIS IS NO JOKE GUYS.. Ive been telling people this my whole life and I cannot believe somebody else has heard of it!!!!!


JUST DONT TRY IT! I never did, and dont want to!!
 
I think you need some practice at sarcasm. Not to mention dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is manufactured at about 195 Kelvin, far too warm for the superconducting Jello creature to survive.
 
I know that.. I was just trying to be humerous.. For those out there that actually might belive in it.. Thats all.. But in my own opinion, I have had some pretty weird happenenings in my life that lead me to "believe" there is other life out there.
 
Actually the COLDEST substance known to man is made by cooling a group of atoms to ALMOST ABSOLUTE zero.. which would be -273 degrees Celsius... which equals -5.85 degrees kelvin!!!! Which IS cold enough. But of course, im sure we all KNEW that.
 
-273.15 degrees C is 0K

-5.85K isn't possible.

I think also if you want to get really technical, its incorrect to say 'degrees Kelvin' its just 'Kelvin' no degrees.
 
Ok.. yes there is no "degrees" in kelvin scale.. but -279 celcius does translate into -5.79 Kelvin on the conversion scale
 
Doesn't matter what it is because you can't ever get to that temperature. You simply cannot go below 0K
 
yes, 0k is the lowest porrible temperature. at said temperatire, all matter is totally motionless. you can't go any further than that...
 
I think you have absolutely no understanding of physics.

The only place that below absolute 0 exists is in your mind.
