other science please, not religion. please vote for a compromise, I make my claim. Vote other science. ! Moderator Note I feel this has strayed into religion from anything like astronomy. Moved. I diplomatically ask, and state my claim. Please do not subject your own history to ridicule. This is clearly, archaeology, astronomy. They are our ancestors, please do not ridicule here or i will report. A valid scientific study, and scientists don't claim this as religion. I urge do not post if you have negative input and attack, Do not confuse with religion. respectfully super ball. My link

As I has suspected, I am really buisy now. So I am going to say fairwell and peace be with you all.

Cyclops Climbed a hill 1000 meters high. The cliff top was a bare rock, its three sides falling almost straight to the ground. In his downward vision he saw himself of two meters length, the sheer fall of the cliff down to the ground a 1000 meters. Suddenly he felt the height of the cliff added to his own height, he felt he was 1002 meters tall. What happened next was that Cyclops lost interest in anything below his eye level of 1002 Meters: the ground below, the match box houses, the people in it, and their various interactions, even in the food that was down there. He stood transfixed, his eyes seeking the next hill top of equal height, probing the sky and the c…

if you chose choice number 3 look at the link in my siggy. it has Vocaloids in it [if it says localhost and cannot load take out the localhost part]

hey everyone i,m about to wriite my physics exam. Wich i,m going up to in 3 weeks. It must contain: Kinematics Angular motion Vector calculus Oscilations Thermodynamics Pressure electricity and some quantum mechanics.. i was sugested to write about a ship sailing trough atlantic ocean.. But it didnt really catch me. So i wanted to ask if you have any fun/interesting toppics for my exam =)

Let's have a moment of silence for all those who are stuck in traffic on their way to the gym to ride the stationary bicycle Added text : and whenever they get there will be driving around and around the parking lot again and again until the parking spot by the front door is available. ----> http://www.more-funny.com/2011/11/lets-have-moment-of-silence-for-all.html

The spirit of Christmas past; I used to trudge thru ankle deep muck in the fields in search of the perfect tree. Wife and kids in tow, giving countless opinion on every tree we saw. When finally a consensus was reached, I would pluck the tree from the earth and mount it on the roof of the family chariot, and of course set it up where I was instructed. My annual task was finished. I could sit back and revel in the cheerful sounds of the family decorating it. This went on for the first 15 or so years of wedded bliss. The last year (some 5 or so years ago) that I participated in this ritual. We again located the perfect specimen, drug it out of the field, and tied it to the …

Cyclops had been to a Water Falls. He saw the sheet of Water break up, Scatter into a cluster of water drops. Catching the cluster of Water drops at the top of the Falls he could hold it in his eyes and follow its descent. When he did that he fell with the Water drops. Swing up the eyes, hold the cluster of drops, follow its descent and fall again himself with a thud and do it again. After a while he let go the water and shifted his gaze to the adjacent rock face. The hill was RISING! Cyclops was profoundly changed, rapt at the happening. He needs to know what exactly happened to evolve a theory, and a technique to do it as a therapy, poetry.

Cyclops tensed ,flinched inside his head close to the cervical spine. He felt a DISCONNECT between his head and neck.His head buoyed like a ball.It was a supreme de-stress.He could hold it only for moment or two.

Cyclops bent to pick up a Sleeping child. He squared his shoulders, expanded his RIB CAGE, took a broad breath, pushed his elbows out, crouched above the child. Something came unbuckled, the two halves of his rib cage separated, the two lungs separated, wind pipe lay open like a broad road, heart lay soft and free in one corner, the breath resonated to the aunomotopic sound of NR.NR.NR…………… The sound was eerie, other worldly, but soft sonorous inducing warmth, security, happiness and subtle strength. The Sleeping child harkened, relaxed, smiled, hugged Cyclops snug. What came unbuckled as Cyclops squared his shoulders? What was the NR sound. Are there many more s…

I noticed that there isn't a topic with ski-fi movies here so i've made it post the movies you like Here I start: Babylon 5 "old school babe" Stargate, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Universe Star Trek the original series, Deep space 9, Star Trek 2010 movie Star Wars Battlestar Galactica

(You didn't think I had only two pet peeves, did you?) We’ve all experienced it — going to work or coming home, the seemingly endless stop-and-go traffic along a major roadway because the traffic signals aren’t synchronized. Why not synchronize the flow of traffic in the direction that most people want to go? And once a driver “catches a wave”, it’s pretty much unimpeded driving on long stretches of roadway. I experienced synchronized traffic in my home town 40 years ago on two parallel streets used to bypass downtown traffic, and it worked like a charm. The “convention” of the synchronized traffic could be indicated on the traffic signals with small signs t…

You’re gonnabe a big help just by saying what you think! How do youthink of someone who want to get a term off and restudy the lessons that hadpassed before again (like classical physics and mathematical physics) just to havea better understanding of physics? Do you think it’s a good idea? May you possiblydo the same?

I heard a good quote today and thought I'd share. In all the years of evolution you would think that at least one buzzard would have said," Maybe we ought to drag it off the road." I don't know who it's by, but it struck me funny when I read it.

Well I've been here a couple of months now (longer?) don't know... I'd just like to give a thanks. This site is a brilliant site and it's postes have brilliant questions. It's been a pleasure

So I want to major in physics, but I don't care about the degree as much as the stuff I will learn. At least the degree will somewhat help me in finding some job. I am still young and I don't know what road to take, because apart from learning physics, I also want to write novels, become a painter, and hopefully have time to write or play music. I have played in a band before and I am pretty sufficient at drawing and painting. I have tried writing music, but have put it off since for school work and painting/drawing. I just don't know how much time I would have for these passions if I have a physics related job. On the other hand, I read that most physics graduates don't …

It's here, 11/11/11. This date is the same forwards, backwards, and upside down. Kind of quirky. It reminds me of 8/8/88, which has the same attributes. So, I did a comparison in my Namekagon Notebook blog at http://www.daveworld...y-james-bailey. I'd like to know what you all think of it. 11●11●11 and 8●8●88 Then and Now I'm not really into numerology. I placed no special significance on the event when we marked the change from the 1900s into the 2000s. But, I find it kind of neat when a date is the same whether viewed backwards, forwards or upside down. I'm using it herein as a premise for a flashback comparison that could be titled “that was the…

Draftsight is nice enough and so basic any beginner can figure his way around just tinkering with it an afternoon. http://www.3ds.com/products/draftsight/overview/ Free CAD, CAM and CAE http://www.freecad.com/ I'd seen this person got help days ago but didn't look at the offered links and so I wondered if these, esp Draftsight would be any better help, since people on the thread were talking like the software in their links wasn't designed with arcs and ellipticals in mind, though it could be done. CAD software is built around everything-engineering, so ellipticals, arcs, fillets, rounds and radii, dashed and center lines, crosshatching and just everything 3…

We’ve all experienced it — stop lights activated for cross traffic (usually one car, maybe two) that, in the meantime, were able to make a right turn on red, resulting in the normal traffic flow needlessly interrupted. I’ve seen this happen a million times (at least ). Modern traffic signal algorithms delay several seconds before initiating the sequence to change the traffic flow. Why then, at the end of the delay and before initiating the change sequence, doesn’t the algorithm simply check the cross road one last time to see if the cross traffic is still there? I’ve programmed computers, and this is an extremely minor re-write of the algorithm. It would save ti…

My cousin sent me this link (because he knows that I love a good action flick as much as the next guy, but that science is everything) and it's a television show called This Vs That. It claims to be able to scientifically put to rest the common debates of the universe: Hybrid Car Vs. Gas Car (which is scientifically better for the environment), Propane Vs. Natural Gas (which will cost less, burn faster, etc.). This is the website he sent me: www.thisvsthatshow.com. I did see a blurb about the show on Rock Center with Bryan Williams, so it's not something so obscure that nobody's ever heard of it. Personally, I love when science and entertainment meet head on. The sho…

We've all seen it — traffic at an intersection stopped because someone pushed the pedestrian crossing button, and then without paying much attention and mostly without warning, a kid dashes from curb to curb on a crosswalk. Whether someone is driving legally or illegally, it's the *dashing* that suddenly puts the kid in front of an unsuspecting driver, especially with all these big SUVs that conceal what's on the other side of them. Crossing lights give pedestrians plenty of time to walk across the street, so these kids have plenty of time and don't need to run. Alarm bells go off every time I see this happen. I was a little kid once, and I know how intimidating…

Dude did you see that prime list they had . . . . . . 50 years before quantum processors . . . . . . must have been aliens! >:|

Every time I see a physics analogy since seeing this, I think of it. Thought I'd share.
