  1. You didn't said in what language it should be.. C/C++/PHP? Read this f.e. http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_insert.asp http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_insert.asp Install MySQL Admin that allows executing SQL commands in text field. And experiment with different commands. You will see what effect they have on table and database.
  2. Moon is attracting mass of water (tides). The closer distance to Moon (like in the past) the stronger periodical attraction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide It might be interesting thing to simulate in game/animation. Players could pass through some lower level land only at certain dates. Land would be below water normally. Or make caves, which can be entered from water side. If you will generate whole world sphere, artificial borders disallowing to go (because it's outside of map, like this happens in typical game) would not be needed. Players going west will return on east or vice versa etc. ps. Show some screen-shots..
  3. You're wrong even with your example. If you dilute 1 gram of substance with 1 million grams of water you won't have 1 ppm (by mass), but less 1/1,000,001.. You need to dilute with 999,999 to have right proportions. Similarly if you dilute m1=1000 grams with m2=1,000,000 grams, m1+m2=1,001,000 grams. m1/(m1+m2) - concentration of first substance, m2/(m1+m2) - concentration of 2nd substance. If you're calculating concentration by using m1/m2, you would not even pass exam in our high school. On my language wikipedia page of ppm, there is said (google translator used): "ppm (parts per million) - way of expressing the concentration of a very dilute solutions of chemical compounds. This concentration is derived from the mole fraction and determines how much chemical compound per 1 million molecules of the solution." "The unit ppm is also sometimes used as a way to express a fraction of the weight, but usually only in this case specifically inform the writing eg. ppm (by weight). When the abbreviation ppm does not have any additional information to the contrary, that we are talking about the mole fraction."
  4. 1000 ppm (parts per million=particles=molecules in this case) of H2SO4 means that there is 999000 ppm H2O. H2SO4 has mass ~98.078 u. H2O has mass ~18.015 u. 1 u = 1 g / NA = 1 g/6.022141*1023 = ~ 1.66*10-24 g (atomic mass unit) 1000 * 98.078 u + 999000 * 18.015 u = 18095063 u. Mass of 1 million molecules solution. If we divide 98078 u/18095063 u, we will have normal mass fraction.
  5. Are you aware that we're sending/receiving radio transmission to our satellites far far away.. ? Voyager is farther than Pluto planet.. Delay between sending command, and receiving reply from device t=~2*d/c So it's proven that constant speed c holds for at least entire solar system. Not just experiments on Earth.
  6. That's correct video. Do you have oscilloscope? You can make experiment: connect normal AC, then AC with rectifying diode attached one direction, and then reverse. And compare results on oscilloscope screen. Rectifying diode allows electrons flow only in one direction, blocking opposite.
  7. Sounds like homework. Do you know what does mean "ppm"? Any scientist and student should know how to calculate ppm to moles and grams..
  8. Your depiction how science works is flawed. Experimental scientist is making experiments (can be random accident), discovering something, making equations allowing further predictions, and sharing with the rest of science community. Science community is reproducing experiment, and after confirming observation, it's becoming part of knowledge learned in universities and schools. That's why it's important to make experiments, to not lose healthy look (which happens to pure theoretic scientist I am afraid. And they're starting making bizarre theories. It's easy to spot them, as they are not based on experiments). But you didn't presented us your theory. There is no physics theory without math equations allowing to calculate and predict future/past.
  9. Classical observation-measurement can also change state of thing we measure. Take for example thermometer. Mercury metal is absorbing energy and changing its volume, what we're reading on scale. Object that we measured lost that energy and mercury will never return it after end of measurement. The more massive object we measure, the smaller disturbance. Measuring temperature of 1 ug of water, will cause different disturbance than measuring 1000 g of water by the same thermometer. To measure mass we have to stop moving thing = then we are losing its momentum and velocity. After stopping it, it's in the same frame of reference as we with our weighting scale.
  10. Hello! I was searching for what new apparatus to buy and found device for Franck–Hertz experiment for 700 usd. http://www.sci-supply.com/Franck-Hertz-Experiment-p/ss20801.htm If you're not familiar with experiment you can read details here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franck%E2%80%93Hertz_experiment Basically: accelerated electron loses its kinetic energy of 4.9 eV and excites mercury atom, which is then emitting 4.9 eV UV photon. Video on YouTube showing experiment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0GqNtsmaYU Best Regards! ps. They also have a lot of other interesting stuff.. Oil drop experiment apparatus just $430. http://www.sci-supply.com/Millikan-Oil-Drop-Apparatus-p/ss2438.htm Van De Graaff generator 250 kV for $220 http://www.sci-supply.com/Van-De-Graaff-Generator-250KV-p/ss2311.htm Anybody can afford it (especially scientist interested in quantum physics)..
  11. Inability of calculation doesn't guarantee something is true or false. It's lack of data to calculate/measure. This is similar problem as with flying in airplane without windows with constant velocity (assuming no sound of engines etc) (so we don't have acceleration). What speed it has? Is it flying or waiting in queue on the ground? One would say "use GPS", other "use compass", but assume we don't have such cheating devices (not to mention their data might be wrong and misleading).. How would you calculate velocity (so also kinetic energy) of such airplane.. ?
  12. I don't think so that's true. Charged particle is existing regardless of opposite charged particles. Intergalactic space is filled with relativistic accelerated protons emitted by stars in the all directions, that are f.e. one per thousand km3 And their kinetic energy and charge remain unchanged even though the closest galaxy can be hundred thousands light years far away.. If I will take Stirring rod, start rubbing, and charging f.e. electrostatic plume, electrons-charges will gather on its branches and they will be repelling.. I can take positively charged source (that lost electrons to charge plume) to airplane, and fly to 2nd side of Earth. It won't make difference. Plume still will be charged, and its branches pointing up..
  13. Transfer of information with speed greater than speed of light is not a problem?? Without doubt. Positron and electron that are at greater distance are not annihilating.. Otherwise we would not be able to hold positrons in magnetic trap. About what distances you're talking about? Travel of distance equal to f.e. Compton wavelength would take 8.07*10-21 s at speed of light. Positronium has decay mean-life time that it's >10-10 and >10-7. Electron-positron pair with parallel spins have different half/mean-life than electron-positron with anti-parallel spins. Did you actually read article I gave?
  14. Dune is actually series of 6 books made by Frank Herbert (and even more by his son). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_%28franchise%29 Reading 1st volume is just beginning. It's hard IMHO (1st the easiest).
  15. Again, and again, it has nothing to do with subject of this thread.. Learning by NPC is not implemented by self-modifying code and then execution of that code, but storing data in database. Ready code is just reading and writing database. No limit in levels - because they're randomly generated.
  16. While asking my question, I was concerned about this part of post "This is done in a period of time which is much smaller than the propagation time for light between the positions of electron E and positron P. I realize that 'simultaneity' is not possible, but it shouldn't matter."
  17. Powering number to 2 is equal to multiplication of number by itself. Multiplication of negative real number by negative real number, will give positive real number. [math](-2)*(-2)=+4[/math]
  18. I am going from home to shop, straight line with length. Then from shop to home, it's the same equal length. One can calculate length using above equation looking from home to shop, or from shop to home, and it'll be the same scalar length. That is not accurate. Mathematically, a square root has two results, one positive, one negative. Rethink once again bold by you sentence. You have positive number and taking square from positive. What will be result?
  19. [math]Length =\sqrt{x^2+y^2}[/math] for 2 dimensions [math]Length =\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}[/math] for 3 dimensions [math]Length =\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2+...+zz^2}[/math] for n-dimensions Where x,y,z....zz are relative. i.e. x=x0-x1,y=y0-y1 etc. Powering negative number causes it to be always positive, then getting square from only positive will return only positive results. Line must be closed line segment (have two ending it points) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_segment if line is half-open line segment, or open line, it's length is infinite and above equation for length of line cannot be used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_distance
  20. This is what happens to electron and positron prior their annihilation.
  21. Are you aware of Positronium exotic atom.. ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positronium
  22. Just a small note: We can have binary number that's not integer, but finite fractional. f.e. if we write: 0.1011 it will be: 2-1+2-3+2-4=0.5+0.125+0.0625=0.6875 Binary %1011 is 11 in base 10. 11/16=0.6875
  23. That would be cheating. Like getting new life, new incarnation, after committing crime. People would not know about what you have done in the past.
  24. I realized this could be checked experimentally. On bottom we have laser emitting red, green and blue photons "at the same time". Then they have to pass through medium with exactly the same distance, but slightly different refractive index for each photon. Then after exiting medium they should be out of original sync, first delayed more than second, than third, if velocity of photons in medium were different.
