  1. According to SR, passengers of space ship should see blueshift of light from stars in direction of travel, and redshift of light from stars in opposite direction. Spectral lines of Hydrogen plasma should be shifted from f.e. 656 nm to 176 nm, when v=0.866c, [math]f=f0*\sqrt{\frac{1+v}{1-v}}[/math] Suppose so we have three clocks. One on Earth, second one on Proxima Centauri, third one on space ship. Ignoring fact that PC is ~4 ly from Earth, we reset clocks "at the same time", so each one is 00:00:00. And space ship is starting travel (immediately at full speed, to ignore variable velocity calcs). Then after arriving to PC, Earth's clock is showing ~ 4 years passed, PC's clock is showing ~ 4 years passed, and clock on space ship is showing ~ 2 years passed.
  2. Just a thought: try it with file name without dot . inside.. LastIndexOf() will return -1. How Insert() will react with it? Exception, I guess so.
  3. Fiveworlds is self made programmer in interpreted languages with quite little experience.. With time, he should learn how to optimize his programs, and gain knowledge.
  4. This is definitely not what special relativity is predicting. And actually shows your misunderstanding of SR. Space ship, in SR, flying in direction of Proxima Centauri with speed close to speed of light would have slowed time in its FoR. With v=0.866 c, flight would take 2 years on-board of space ship time.
  5. The first labor strike in the New World is made by.. Poles.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamestown_Polish_craftsmen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1619_Jamestown_Polish_craftsmen_strike "The Jamestown Polish craftsmen's strike of 1619 occurred in the settlement of Jamestown in the Virginia colony, and was the first strike in the recorded history of North America. Polish craftsmen had been brought to the colony by colonial leader John Smith to make glassware, pitch, and tar. When the colony held its first election in 1619, the Polish craftsmen were not allowed to vote, and they went on strike on June 30, 1619. Due to the economic importance of these craftsmen in the young colony, colonial leaders bowed to the pressure and gave full voting rights to the Poles." Polish not allowed to vote?! At that time Polish were even able to elect their king from anybody they wanted..
  6. Are you able to reproduce it? If so, record it on video using digital camera, full hd preferably for good quality. Are you using solids only, or they're dissolved in water or other liquid.. ? What is mass of each of them.. ? You said, test tube, so I assume there is very small amount of them. Typical test tube has just 20-25 mL volume. What if you replace KCl by NaCl.. ?
  7. Limitation of some app (like Notepad), or language, is not the same as limitation of system. I made C/C++ project for you. Compiled for either 32 bit and 64 bit. Run it in command line as follows: OpenFile "file name" OpenFile.zip I used in this project ftell() to learn file size, which is defined as follows: long __cdecl ftell(_Inout_ FILE * _File); in includes. It's returning 32 bit integer. There is yet another function for 64 bit: __int64 _ftelli64( FILE *stream ); I used it (and _fseeki64()) in this project: OpenFile64.zip so you can compare results. First project is written without using Windows specific functions (ANSI C, portable code possible to compile without changes on Linux/MacOS), while 2nd project uses functions available only in Windows, added by Microsoft to support 64 bit. To support 64 bit file handling on Linux, there are other functions, available on Linux, but not available on Windows (and vice versa): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9026896/get-large-file-size-in-c Program written in the past by default uses 32 bit file handling functions. Program written now, have to be written by professional programmer, who is aware of how to deal with too large files. Otherwise he/she will use wrong functions, and will make limitation by himself/herself. I know plentiful programmers who use obsolete ancient computers with (32 bit) Windows XP, and don't want to upgrade (and it's not a matter of money). My neighborhood was using Pentium III laptop (OMG). Their private code, private projects, will most likely be affect by this issue.
  8. I see it's yours video. So how about making couple tests? f.e. instead of using permanent magnet, use electromagnet and variable resistor to control amount of current flowing through coil. The higher current, the stronger electromagnet. Then change polarization by swapping + and - in DC. How about using small frequency AC for electromagnet (current will be flowing once in one direction, then in other, and it'll be changing polarization of electromagnet). How about using wire through which current is flowing and surrounding container with ferrofluid.. ? So it'll be kinda like core in electromagnet. Did you try if your fluid is passing current.. ?
  9. It has error, page 7 "For Plank's constant h, the accepted value is 6.626×10−39 J·s" It should be -34
  10. Ridiculous. It must have Planck constant. As it would ruin plentiful in either classic and quantum physics. If you have light source which is emitting uniform wavelength photons with power P from point source, in the all directions (inverse-square law). Single photon has energy: E=h*f or E=h*c/wavelength Power P [W] is E/t, energy by time. If you sum all photons energies, multiply h*f by their quantity, you will receive total energy emitted in time unit. Etotal = h*c/wavelength * quantity of photons Inverse-square law E=Etotal/(4*PI*r^2) so finally: E=h*c/wavelength * quantity / (4*PI*r^2) These photons deliver energy from source to our detector. f.e. Sun is heating Earth by photons. If you would replace h*f by some other value than 6.62607*10^-34 J*s * frequency, energy received in Joules would be different. Which would be easily detectable as different temperature. Actually that's how it has been detected that different wavelength photons have different energies, by splitting white light on prism, and then heating few samples of water (for red, green, blue light) and reading temperature increase.
  11. I didn't want to give final code, as it sounds quite like homework.. Why do you want to use regular expressions for such silly task as checking whether 1st character is digit or not.. ? Equivalent of C/C++ code: if( !( ( row[ 0 ] >= '0' ) && ( row[ 0 ] <= '9' ) ) ) or if( !isdigit( row[ 0 ] ) ) will be sufficient (and faster, reg expressions are pretty slow). (assuming null-terminated row is in buffer) http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/string_isdigit.htm
  12. Open file, read row by row counting lines. If line counter is at specific line, return it. Then close file handle.
  13. Isotope is stable when there is not allowed decay mode to other isotope with smaller mass-energy. That's it, if decay would violate one or more conservation, decay is not allowed. The most important is conservation of energy. Deuterium is not decaying to free proton and free neutron, because there is missing 2.22 MeV energy. When this energy is delivered from external source (such as alpha particle with kinetic energy higher than 2.22 MeV), Deuterium can disintegrate. And it's used as source of free neutrons in other experiments for instance.
  14. Units mixed with symbols? Capacitance is in Farads F. Charge Q is in Coulombs C. Voltage U is in Volts V. Current I is in Amperes A. 1 F = 1 C / 1 V 1 V = 1 A * 1 ohm Substitute: 1 F = 1 C / ( 1 A * 1 ohm ) But we know that I=Q/t, or Q=I*t. In units it'll be 1 C = 1 A * 1s. so 1 F = 1 A * 1s / ( 1 A * 1 ohm ) = s/ohm
  15. Acceleration of initial accretion disk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretion_disc. Yes. f.e. direct collision with other cosmic object, resulting in rapid deceleration, or changing path (and vaporization of the all living organisms on the Earth). It happens all the time but with small objects in f.e. kuiper belt. f.e. indirect passing through massive cosmic object in close region of Solar System. See thread about hypervelocity stars http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/90600-hypervelocity-stars-new-mechanisms-of-creation/ This is pretty similar case, but with stars and black hole. Cosmic object can be ejected from its normal path (better fate than being suck by black hole).
  16. You also mentioned "quarks and leptons", in the same line as "wormholes". Their decay is what is running nuclear plants, so far using U-235. There can be other unstable/stable isotopes which can be turned to fuel of future. Scientists have to analyze newly produced unstable isotopes to check whether they could be used as fuel of future. Nuclear spin of theoretically unstable isotope can cause it to be metastable because there is not allowed decay mode (or time is significantly increased). f.e. what should decay quickly, is delayed, and decaying from excited state to ground state, by emitting gamma rays, much longer than expected. Don't you think so fluorescence is interesting subject to discover by scientists? Read about using Tritium as source of electrons that excite other atoms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium_illumination to emit light in Wristwatch clock.
  17. Google for "android 4.4.2 download to sd card" and there is plentiful 3rd party tools for moving data to SD Card https://www.google.com/?q=android+4.4.2+download+to+sd+card

    T=E+C2.

    You're mixing units. Time is in seconds, Length is in meters, Energy is in Joules, which is kg*m^2/s^2 Mass is in kg. You cannot add two or more variables/const with different units.
  19. g is varying even from place to place on Earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Earth g vary as a function of latitude. That's it, it depends on distance to Earth's center. But if it does so with Earth, it must also does with Sun, and Moon, and Milky Way center. Once we're the closest to the Sun at noon, and the furthest from the Sun at midnight. ps. I would start analyze from checking in what exactly days of year were G calculated in the past (function of distance to Milky Way center).. ps2. Variation of g is used during exploration of resources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_gradiometry
  20. Yes, I know. But remember we're talking to non-scientist. If you want to be so much precise, then give him amount of introduced error: "In March 2015 the NIST-F2 caesium fountain clock reported a uB of 1.5 × 10−16. At this frequency uncertainty, the NIST-F2 is expected to neither gain nor lose a second in more than 211 million (211 × 106) years." (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_clock )
  21. Quantity of decays is dropping exponentially, as quantity of unstable particles is gone. ps. You can learn how to calculate decay energy reading article in my signature. There is also graph with decays per second as function of time, OpenOffice SpreadSheet project to download: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/83245-a-question-on-radioactive-decay/?p=806204
  22. I have Android 5.0, so maybe it's version dependent.
  23. I have Samsung Galaxy S5. Assume you have Android (you didn't mention which version, every one is different) tablet. When I click on Applications > Settings, near bottom of the list, there is Internet icon. In Advanced, there is option "content settings" (don't know what it's called in English version of phone). Once you click it, there is "Default memory for writing". I have picked up "Device". Are you able to switch it to card.. ? I have built-in 16 GB, and didn't reach level of usage needing plugging card, but I guess so when there is card plugged, this option will change target for downloads..
  24. Are you aware of Hafele–Keating experiment? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafele%E2%80%93Keating_experiment If they're both at rest, in same FoR, clocks are synchronized.
  25. You don't have fire.. ? If there is substantial amount of gas then place above it up side down beaker, filled with water first, so it'll be filled by gas going up. Then try to fire it. If there is explosion, it's Hydrogen, the most likely. In presence of not flamable gas, such as Carbon dioxide, fire will shut down. In presence of Oxygen, fire will start burning more intense. How about placing it in other liquid, that has no water.. ? If it's caused by reaction with water, there will be no gas, or reaction will be different. If it's what John said, gas bubbles will appear also.
