If it releases gas during reaction, you should measure precise mass of either compound, and put graduated cylinder above it, to catch gas and measure its volume. 1 L = ~ 0.04464 mol at room temperature or so. So you will know how much mass/moles of NaOH gave which volume of gas in result. Then check out which gas it is. If it's Hydrogen, fire will cause explosion. If it's Oxygen, fire should be more intense. If it's non-flammable gas, such as Carbon Dioxide or Nitrogen, fire should disappear. According to Internet methyl red is red solid, not (or barely) soluble in water, and soluble in ethanol.

I am using coffee grinder, bought just to mill chemical compounds, then could be used mortar and pestle to smash it even more to fine dust.

Some people in the past mentioned it's related (at least in their case) to used web browser. They said they can quote in one web browser, and can't quote in other one. I am using Mozilla Firefox, and quote function works as expected (as you can see above). You could do it manually though. Just enter [ quote ] prior text, and [ /quote ] after text, without spaces obviously. Eventually switch to raw text mode (the top left button in full editor), then you can copy/edit the all tags. How can you not being able to copy text from website? It's built-in web browser functionality. Web site must intercept RMB context menu to prevent user from using copy functionality (but it still can be bypassed by using Show Source Code). Maybe it's unexpected revelation of virus/Trojan/browser extension/plugin installed and intercepting your data.. ?

Plutonium-238 half-life is just 87.7 years. It's manmade and utilized by humans. Plutonium-244 half-life is 8.00(9)*107 years.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_plutonium How can galaxy be rich with Plutonium if it'll all decay within couple hundred millions years? It would have to be produced in larger amount than is decaying..

I saw your video on YouTube where you are showing your solar panels. What I would do is connect them to voltmeter, ampere meter, place above them digital camera, in time lapse mode (f.e. make photo every 1 minute). Send frames to computer, glue them together to movie, and check how it's changing over one whole day (with 30 FPS, 1 minute delay timelapse, 18h would be 36 seconds long) Do you have some old satellite dish? Its curvature could be used to make template. Use f.e. paper put for a few seconds to water, and place on satellite dish, many pages of paper, until you have something looking like dish, but paper one. Wait until its dry. It should be pretty solid (but not waterproof, so you could try painting it to protect it). Place and glue on it broken to little pieces mirrors. Then use it to concentrate Sun energy on your solar panels, and record timelapse video from whole day again, to compare difference. If there will be significant improvement, prepare couple such "concentrators".

Which rock do you have in mind.. ? Pretty common rock is Calcium Carbonate CaCO3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_carbonate It's remains of dead millions years ago sea living organisms, such as shells of snails, trilobites. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilobite "The exoskeleton is composed of calcite and calcium phosphate minerals in a lattice of chitin that covers the upper surface (dorsal) of the trilobite" Blended to dust, mixed with a lot of water, it could be used as cheap way to decrease acidity, fertilizer, or to fight with pest (f.e. paint bottom of fruit trees) Prior using it you should check pH of your soil (electronic device can be bought for $10 in Leroy Merlin), and read requirements of every your plant. Wrong fertilizer or too large dose can kill them. You can check whether you have CaCO3 by using dust with acetic acid. It should make Calcium Acetate and release plentiful of Carbon Dioxide gas. Calcium Acetate, unlike Calcium Carbonate, is pretty good soluble in water, so used dust should disappear.

Are not you supposed to write source code by yourself? Not try to find ready somebody else source code? Start from finding 68k instruction set, and learn them, at least the one needed for project: https://www.google.pl/?q=motorola+68000+instruction+set Make function waiting 1 second, then make loop for 25*60 seconds calling above wait 1 second function.

Magnetic field lines the best is to visualize with Compass Array device like this one: It costed ~30 usd here. There are 2D and 3D versions. In 3D version compasses can spin in either axis. When you will be moving magnet above it, compasses will change direction instantly. When you will place electromagnet above it, and turn it on or off, swap current direction, compasses will be adjusting their directions depending on current direction.

The really poor people want to be in jail because they will get food for free, and they won't have to search for food in trashcans.. Couple months ago, prisoner was released (end of sentence), and killed girl. He told police and judge, he did it because he wanted to return to jail, as he could not survive on freedom.. Not surprisingly, nobody wants ex-prisoner-employee... Now he has life sentence. Happened not once, nor twice, that retired person started committing crimes to be imprisoned (even some silliness). On freedom had pension disallowing to survive a week.. Homeless people are starting doing some silliness to be imprisoned during autumn-winter here.

If somebody would be slightly more intelligent than average, and desperate to get a job, would investigate what criminal activities/sins made boss/manager/director of company where he/she wants to apply for a job, and "suggest" he/she would be good employee (somebody could call it "blackmailing"). If somebody would be slightly more intelligent than above person, would look at devices currently existing, find a way to improve them a bit, persuade investors to invest money in his/her project, make worldwide/country patent, and become his/her own boss, with majority of shares in newly created company producing more efficient devices. If somebody would be a lot more intelligent that them, would not bother about job, money or anything material.. That's not correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiatic_lion There is ~523 Asiatic wild lions. ps. IQ test cannot have questions testing Earth's exclusive knowledge. If extraterrestrial life form would land on Earth, he/she/it should be able to perform test. How can he/she/it do it without even knowing what is "lion","dog","mouse",etc. That's not IQ test.. IQ test should be universal for entire Universe life forms.

Then maybe you should learn how to convert Joules to electron Volts, and vice versa? I was talking about abundance of elements. Hydrogen-1 is nearly 74%, while Helium-4 is nearly 24%. The rest is pretty meaningless minute amount. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance_of_the_chemical_elements scroll to section "Abundance of elements in the Universe"

That depends on how these ages of life were spent. Farmer from 3rd world country, not reading any books, because he has not learned it, will most likely have only useful knowledge about vegetables and animals he worked with entire his life.

That reminds me "hypnosis spiral S/F"..

Sunshaker, you should learn first how to create matter and antimatter: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/92274-say-you-believe-or-else/?p=893302 Even our Sun is creating antimatter (positrons), and it's giving 7.65% of energy that everybody receive on the Earth everyday. http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/85656-solar-fusion-neutrinos-and-age-of-solar-system/ ps. There is minute amount of elements with higher atomic number (proton quantity Z) than 2 in Universe.

Hypervalent, parents learn their children what is eatable and not eatable, at age child is pretty young, and can't argue about it. Later is harder. They give him/her various meals to take and taste. Eskimo give their children f.e. seal to taste and eat, learn them it's food source. The most of western people wouldn't, most likely, take it. Asian's people learn their children to eat insects. With autistic child is not so easy. Parent has issues with communication (depending on level of autism), not to mention persuading child to try different food sources. To try something new. I am just encouraging OP to try something new. If they won't try it, they won't know it. I have seen plentiful of children without autism which had f.e. "tomatophobia", and literally hate tomato soup. One child, which was on the winter holidays, started vomit, when cuisine in hotel's restaurant gave them.. potato cakes (I know, it's silly, but it's the real story from 25-30 years ago). Now that "child" would be able eat potato cakes, with just scowl (it's not me BTW).

Have you tried mixing food in blender to create soup.. ? Soup is better digested, therefor there is needed less than not blended food to get the same amount of kilocalories to organism. Soup can be kept in thermos to be hot for many hours. Another advantage over solid food. What is BMI of your child? Is it less than 18? 15? If not, your child has enough food for his needs. BMI = mass/height^2 (mass in kilograms,height in meters). f.e. mass=90kg,height=1.9meters, BMI=90/1.9^2=24.93 <=15 too small, >=25 too large. ~18 optimal for beautiful female, ~23 optimal for athlete male with muscles. Maybe your child does not have food phobia.. Instead he does not like your food? You should try taking him to various countries restaurants, starting from Asian's (Chinese,Taiwan,Malaysia,India,Vietnamese,Japanese, etc.) to check out how he reacts for such "abnormal" cuisine. Bananas are very nutrient. Mix 4 in blender, put on pancakes for breakfast, smear them, and nearly nobody will be hungry for several hours. No need for additional sugar. Maybe some cinnamon. Blending strawberries with kefir, little sugar, and it's very nutrient and healthy.

Does JavaScript cookies work the same as in PHP? If so, you were doing it wrong in the initial source code: you need to generate all cookies prior anything is printed to output. http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php Cookies are generated and sent in HTTP response header, prior the body of HTML page. You can use f.e. <?php header("Set-Cookie: name=user");?> Instead of setcookie() and it'll perfectly fine. http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php But if it's: <?php printf( "<html><body>Blah</body></html>" ); header("Set-Cookie: name=user");?> It won't work as expected! There is generated body of response, so header is already sent.. It can't be sent the second time. You probably copied code of setCookie/getCookie/checkCookie from http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_cookies.asp as they look nearly the same as yours. Have you checked what output (in personal firewall packet log for instance, or php script printing HTTP headers) what header you will get if you use multiple times yours JS's setCookie().. ?

Somebody who knows everything does not need frippery/bling-bling.. Don't you think so.. ?

There was TV document yesterday about NDE. Several people were describing what happened after they went sleep in hospital while surgery etc. events. According to documentary in 10-15% of the cases, there was abandonment of body. Some more smarter hospital doctors started putting things in invisible places from the ground, on f.e. top of closet. And asking people who experienced NDE what is there (visible from the top of room if you're flying above everything, but invisible from anywhere from room, even surgeons and nurses could not know what signs/things are there). So far nobody has given conclusive answer what was placed there.. Jesus would appear in teared rags rather than gold..

If I would have $100k... I would buy 50 lathe devices. I have seen Metal Lathe for $1200 with VAT in our local Leroy Merlin shop this week (not the cheapest one available. The cheapest one was for $620). Wholesale and export to 3rd world country (Africa,South America,Asia) would be cheaper. Pay local homeless persons to build hall (after learning them how to work with concrete, bricks, if needed). The rest of money spend on bricks,concrete,and buying land for hall. And learn them how to use lathe devices, sheet bending, pipe bending, furnace, drill. etc. They would bring beer Aluminium cans or other metal to hall, from the whole city, melt them in induction furnace, creating bars of metals. Half of metal would be for us, half of melted metal they (homeless, unemployed, or simply workers could not afford to buy lathe) could do with it and lathe some new things for free for sale by them. There would be several homeless/unemployed persons learned at the beginning how to use lathe tool, to learn further one coming to hall. 1) it's not business that has to bring money. If it's zero, it's fine. 2) It is suppose to learn these poor people how to use more advanced tools, like lathe, furnace, metal bending tools, pipe bending tools, etc. Or even learn them that such tools exist and could be used. I have seen plentiful documentary videos with European comming to Africa and finding out that these poor people buy used damaged plastic sandals with holes, melt them in provisionally made furnaces, and creating from them... wheels for barrow.. Then bend piece of metal found on scrapyard to barrow.. And producing from them wheelbarrows for local poor farmers. with availability of lathe, and induction furnace, they would be brought to completely different level of metal work.. In the mean time they could polish their English.

Exactly. If routine is in the middle of writing/appending file to disk, and there is crash, or error interrupting writing process, file will be corrupted. Or if there is lack of power shutting down the whole computer (and UPS is not present). Professionally written software write to temporary file, then at the end, rename old file name or move old file to backup folder, then rename temporary file to final name. Or rename old file, then write new file with final name. And delete/move renamed old file to backup. If initialization/loading routine finds out that file is corrupted, it checks if there is backup, and ask user to use it instead.

The AI mind will be uncluttered by everyday problems and human frailties;simultaneously handle and play with more algorithms, as well as exponentially faster. But AI has no body, no hands, no legs, can't do anything in the real world. Otherwise it's android. What AI (as computer, without the real body) says, "must be" listened by the real humans around it (IT technicians? Programmers? Scientists?), and released to public, and "listened"/"obeyed" (or not) by the real people.. BTW, you're dreaming, AI can analyze only supplied data, nothing more. If it will receive wrong/not complete data, it could output wrong suggestions.. You don't need any AI to save energy used by cars, at all. There is just needed free of charge public transportation, free buses, free railway, free trams.. One bus is 100-200 people with cars less on road.. While oil/gasoline usage plentiful less. But it's instant hit at oil & gas industry, and car producing & selling companies.. Which means that these companies will lobby (or scuttle other ways) against it to not lose profits.

If the real intelligence can't do that, how artificial intelligence can do that? Are you suggesting that some people will start listening "voice" of artificial intelligence more than voice of living scientist? The problem with climate change is rejection of it by incompetent idiots, and bribed scums that used to be scientist (better describe them as "attended to universities and then learned nothing") and became paid prostitutes that will sign whatever big company will tell them to sign under their name, to protect their source of profit.. That's probably subject for another thread..

Zen would disallow AI to make ANY decision.. "On his sixteenth birthday the boy gets a horse as a present. All of the people in the village say, "Oh, how wonderful!" The Zen master says, "We'll see." One day, the boy is riding and gets thrown off the horse and hurts his leg. He's no longer able to walk, so all of the villagers say, "How terrible!" The Zen master says, "We'll see." Some time passes and the village goes to war. All of the other young men get sent off to fight, but this boy can't fight because his leg is messed up. All of the villagers say, "How wonderful!" The Zen master says, "We'll see." " (I heard version that ends up with death of boy, but could not find it ATM) ...as every the smallest decision can lead to tragedy.. You can decide to go to work 5 minutes earlier, and you end up dead in car accident, your family have loan for apartment (yet another "zen's decision": you couldn't know it'll have bad or good consequences in future, if you wouldn't die it could be good decision), and bankrupt without your income, children have to steal to survive, and become criminal, ending up in prison etc. etc. ...and all starting with quite neutral "go to work today earlier"..

Particle/object can escape Earth, when it's accelerated to velocity higher than escape velocity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_velocity If particle is already above atmosphere, it could happen because of hitting it by highly accelerated cosmic ray particle. (at the end of Sun, amount of cosmic ray particles, emitted and accelerated by the Sun, will be so large that they will vaporize/ionize the whole atmosphere) Hydrogen (~0.09 g/L) and Helium (~0.18 g/L) gather in the outermost region of atmosphere, as they are significantly less dense than Oxygen (~1.43 g/L) / Nitrogen (~1.25 g/L). Water vapor (~0.8 g/L) is less dense than Oxygen and Nitrogen, but the higher altitude, there is lower pressure and low temperature, and it turns to solid form of matter, which are source of crystals. Disallowing it to reach even higher altitudes. ps. I never understood why some people write H(twenty), instead of H(two)O...
