Fukushima: Even higher radiation of 650 Sievert in reactor 2 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.heise.de/amp/tp/features/Fukushima-Noch-hoehere-Strahlung-von-650-Sievert-in-Reaktor-2-3621986.html Here a video of radiation at a highschool in tokyo. Here a card from the radioactive xenon at the disaster.... Here a video from a train in tokyo... In order to limit the radiation exposure of the German population, the Radiation Protection Ordinance sets a limit of 1 mSv per year for the effective dose of persons in the exposure situations [5]. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sievert_(Ei…

Upon extending a pseudoscientific theory of mine for a science fiction novel, I came upon a rather unforseen problem. I realised that I needed a unit with which to measure the complexity of physical systems. As with most of my struggles, I immediately consulted Google, but could find nothing more helpful than this. The problem is, quantifying complexity is made very complex (pardon the pun) by principle, as complexity is generally defined by the observer. If you define complexity as the number and intricacy of connections in a system, how do you define which of those connections are more complex? Perhaps the reasons I can't find a unit of complexity is because complex…

I`ve been after a good vacuum for a peice of electric aparatus, namely a home made X-Ray tube. I`ve been pondering on a good way to accomplish this and think I`ve found a way ) I made the x-ray tube and had a 4mm glass rod that lead into it, to which the vacuum is applied. well I didn`t have a good enough pump and so I made an alternative, one that MAY help alyone else, and it`ll work if you`re making a light bulb and don`t want the heated elemant to burn out too fast. firstly you`ll need to seal the container you wish to evacuate and have a glass condiut leading from the inside outwards. open up a few Lithium batteries CR-2032 or CR-2016`s extract with a sharp …

Ok. I don't want anyone beating me up for this. But here something that i was thinking about. How know when u have cotton clothes. Lets say red in colour. Why is it when water is dropped onto it, it goes darker. Any colour in this case. Even though water is transparent. I have an idea, but I'm not giving it out. Just so that i don't influence any other ideas!!! Thanx

In the wikipedia article about infanticide, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infanticide there is a paragraph that says: "However, Milner's treatise includes at the same time cultural hypotheses for the practice, and his approach to the subject has been criticized as both scholarly and an idealized view of infanticide.[143]" What the heck does it mean that a scientific work is "scholarly?"

(published mainly in Electronic Journal of Theoretical Physics: http://www.ejtp.com) Ernst Mach about time: It is utterly beyond our power to measure the changes of things by time. Quite the contrary, time is an abstraction at which we arrive by means of the changes of things. Albert Einstein about time: Space and time are modes by which we think, not conditions under which we live." Time--the time that we know through clocks and calendars--was invented. http://www.britannica.com/clockworks/article.html Roger Penrose about time: The temporal ordering that we 'appear' to perceive is, I am claiming, something that we impose upon our perceptions in order to…

well, there will be having many kind of LED around.. But with different kind of voltage, is tat necessary to produce diff kind of color? Heard that there is some kind of LED able to do that...mind to tell? thx.

We know the transformation of messages in our brain is thro' electric signals. so whether there is magnetism around our head?

I won't do it until I get all security equipment, so don't worry. If I take some uranium rich rocks and cover them with aluminium foil, would it make a significant amount of neutrons? I'd like to transmute some elements. Thanks and blesses =D

I am quite confused about the purpose of each of those 3 parts of a lab report: conclusion, evaluation, and discussion.... These 3 particular parts of a lab report generally mean the same to me, so I am struggling when my teacher asks me to write each of them individually in my labreport.... Any help? Albert

I know its possible that our universe can exert energy into what would be a alternate universe via a membrane. That has me thinking. What about this alternate universe having a membrane here in this universe. Could our universe been created by a alternate universe where the matter of the alt universe flows into ours? Could a Big Bang event be caused by such? If such is possible. How many universes could there be.

Absolute zero has been deifined. Is there an established "Absolute Highest Temperature" in the universe? I imagine this was at the Big Bang, but is there a constant limit to matter and energy now?

i have a plasma ball. but accidently the glass is broken so can i repair it?

Working on a review article on a plane today, I discovered that an existing review published in 2011 contains at least two substantial paragraphs copied almost verbatim from another paper by another group that I happened to have just finished reading. There is probably more, based on a cursory glance of other sections. The review in question is a very well-cited review in a high impact factor journal, and written rather surprisingly (to me, at least) by a group at Pfizer. Having never been in this situation before, I am unsure of what the usual course of action is (especially since it's a review, and partly on a topic I am covering)? If nothing else, I assume there …

I am looking reliable information on the topic. So far all I have found is advertisements. Have you seen any studies that explain the testing procedures, who or what was tested and who administered the tests.

Hello. I am not sure this is the right place to expose this issue (I was thinking about posting it in the computer science forum, but I decided it was better here). I wrote a python program in orden to solve the beale ciphers (if you don't know what I am talking about you can google it) but my problem is that I need texts avalaible in 1800 in the United States. I don't live in the USA and I am not familiar with internet webs that can possess these texts. So my question is: do you know a website that contains texts from about 1800? Thanks in advance

Lacking any better category, i've decided to use the General Sciences thread. Anyway, to go straight to the point. In cryogenics, chemistry, and other such endeavours, how are incredibly low temperatures achieved? I understand how high temperatures would work, (simple heating) however how can heat be taken away. I know based on the basic gas laws that increasing the pressure, would work, but how is it actually done? Are there pressurized gases at work, around a main tank, or is it done by some other means? Help would be most appreciated.

hey all i was wondering is there any sustance or element out there that expands when it comes in contact with acid like some sort of silly string or something, any thoguhts? thanx

I wasn't sure which catagory this should go under, so I just put it here. I was playing the violin and these question just popped into my head: 1.) What does the Pythagorean tetraktys (I think that's what it's called, something like that) have to do with music. What does 1+2+3+4 have to do with music? 2.) I know that on treble cleft, the note A is at 440Hz (or is it MHz?), but what are the other notes at? 3.) Pitch is cuase by the waves frequency, but what is loudness caused by? 4.) How does where I put my fingers on the strings effect how high or low the pitch is?

Hello brains, I am hoping I can get some assistance. I am writing a sci fi novel and an idea I have introduced is a bodysuit which adapts to climate be it hot or cold, be it water, ice,or fire, and keeps the wearer safe, comfortable, and alive. Also, it maximises your muscles capabilities and stamina and can possibly be worn in open space, tear and puncture resistant also. It cannot be no armored Ironman type of suit though, something that looks more similar to a scuba diving bodysuit. Yes I know it is impossible especially with our level of technology or understanding for this to be a possibility but put aside the limitations for a moment, lets assume we have everything …

Adding carbon to steel makes it harder and stronger. Is this true for all metals? Could you add carbon to titanium or vanadium to make them even harder and stronger? On the contrary, why adding sulphur to metal to give a softer metal? I could imagine there's no chemical reaction.

Hello, This is address to all peoples who work in research and laboratory environment. I would like to know if any of you, who daily work with laboratory equipment’s and machines have any inconvenience during using these equipment’s. Or you need any equipment but you cannot find this on the market? I am happy to know all your inconveniences and how do you think this inconvenience can be solve. greetings, Benjamin

Hello, Is there any way to do ghosting with a card on a table without trying to use cloaking? It seems very simple but probably can not be done without adding 1 extra dimension of space & 1 of time. And don't worry, I am not going to be using this to cheat at cards, because it would require extra equipment to do so. I also want to to try this on other small objects The general idea is to entangle a graphic image on a 2D screen with our regular 3D 1T world. Thanks for any help. Check it out here at: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/237387078

In this post I will describe a hydraulic system. For argumentative reasons, please observe that non-compressable means very limited compression to the point that the numbers are irelavent. As in all Hydraulic systems you need a pump, an actuator, and a resivior. The actuator in this case will be a container that is filled with piezoelectric material and hydraulic fluid so that there is no air in the container once connected to the hydraulic system, forming a hydrostatic environment. The piezoelectric material is connected to a volt meter. The pump is connected through a switching valve to both the container with the piezoelectrics and the resevior. There is of…
