That article is not correct. The first paragraph "It is well-known that a radioactive substance follows a fixed exponential decay, no matter what you do to it." Is not entirely true. For instance, if we have unstable isotope that is decaying through electron capture (or double electron capture), when we will ionize atom, stripping off all electrons from it, it won't be able to decay anymore.. When Beryllium-7 (that's decaying through electron capture exclusively) is part of larger chemical compound, decay rate also changes slightly.

What?! If you have no idea about radioactivity, here is thread to read by you... http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/86454-half-life-and-radioactivity-need-an-explanation/ Radioactivity we can see on our own eyes, see http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/86284-particle-detectors/

Satellites are typically sending data to us what amount of energy its solar panels received per second. So variations from inverse-square law should be easily spotted.

Why someone would like to think about me as an enemy when I didn't do anything bad to him/her? I don't have (alive) enemies.. Do you find it "mistake"? It's whole message.. That's whole essence..

Jews/Christians God doesn't "work" that way. He is the only one, for either believers and not believers and love them all regardless whether they believe in him, or not. After all everybody are their children. Somebody can be believer, and making evil deeds, and somebody else can be atheist and being saint from point of view of committed sins and behavior with other people.. Where he did so? Try to understand them. They were banished from their motherland for 1000 years..

And that's how science works. Show examples that don't work this way.

You're the first one I see, and I hope so the last one, to suggest to *NOT* read scientific article on science forum! Pathetic. While reading that article he could find a link to Nichols radiometer.. And learn about couple things at the same time. Things the he might not be aware of. Or are you claiming that momentum of incoming photons are not conserved in Crookes radiometer? In any experiment every conservation laws are obeyed from definition. Even the one you're not interested in. The question I was answering "That radiation really can convert to kinetic energy,?" Nichols radiometer reading is done by measuring heating effect. So your answer is even incorrect. What are you talking about?!

See Crookes radiometer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_radiometer

Windows OS has Sleep() function. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686298%28v=vs.85%29.aspx For portable C/C++ you can use time() and/or clock() functions in loop and looking for certain increase of result. But this way CPU will be 100% busy while waiting. Sleep() will put thread to sleep taking 0% CPU.

When everybody would do what I said "about making only good deeds, and not making evil deeds", you would not need it, as you would not have any enemies..

But why God would be "good God" for Jews and "evil God" for Egyptians.. ? Jews would say: "because we're chosen nation". But that's what for people hates them... When Arab/Muslim would answer that this question, it would be miracle on itself, remembering that for typical Muslim from Arabian Gulf area Jews are enemy no.1.. Even president of Iran was talking about annihilation of Israel country in his speeches.. ps. I didn't neg you..

That's whole problem with non-Christian debater.. According to Old Bible Adam and Eve committed sin taking apple from tree of knowledge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_the_knowledge_of_good_and_evil Salvation was from sins caused by this event and further. Your sin is to start talking about religion, instead of what you started from on this forum i.e. talking about (my beloved) science.. Experiments we can repeat at least, confirm or disprove observation, explain it to you, while religious discussion is such a waste of time... Don't you want your sins to be forgiven? Close your eyes at night, and repeat after me "all people of the world, I forgive your sins". Repeat it hundred times, or thousand times, until you will feel relief (it's surprising when it comes). It's even easier to sleep.. Become Jesus for a while and forgive your enemies. It's very hard to forgive people who made something bad to us, made us upset, attacked us etc., really. You're interpreting it using Quran, so I doubt you will ever understand it... What if God is whole Universe, whole energy, then everybody on this world can call himself "son/daughter of God". Everybody can also say "I am God" (tiny tiny part of it), as everything is energy=God.. At pray we say about dead people to join with God. But what if we're already joined whole life and never noticed it.. ? Forgiving people- somebody who was attacked, badly treated, suffered harm wants to revenge. This is destructive either to victim and world. Jesus says about forgiving people. Jesus says about not making bad things. Jesus says about making good deeds. Making harm to some human, or animal, or other living organism, is like making harm to somebody from your own family, as we're one big family from the same original DNA made in oceans billions years ago. Old testament was very picky about "you shall not have any other God besides me", so anybody who would call himself "son of God" etc. would be instantly executed for blasphemy. Plain wrong.

According to Old Bible, prophet Moses, allowed Jude's to escapes Egypt through Red Sea. Mose is also Islamic prophet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophets_in_Islam Are you taking it literally also.. ? I mean Red sea disappearing, allowing travel, then flooding Egyptian army.. ?

Hello! Does somebody performed experiment in which Chlorine gas has been separated to isotopes Chlorine-35 and Chlorine-37, and measured speed of sound independently per isotope.. ? Best Regards!

Kramer, do you even know what is black body radiation? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation

Earth receives energy approximately [math]1360 \frac{J}{s*m^2}[/math] (without counting loses caused by atmosphere). Distance 1 AU = 149,600,000,000 m Reversing inverse-square law gives energy emitted by Sun per second: [math] 1360 * 4 * \pi * 149600000000 ^2 = 3.825*10^{26} W[/math] (wiki mentions 3.846*10^26, so we're pretty close). Now if we will calculate energy at distance 40.4 AU = 6,043,840,000,000 m [math]\frac{3.825*10^{26}}{4*\pi*6,043,840,000,000^2}=0.833251642 \frac{W}{m^2}[/math] 5.2 W/m^2 is 2 * PI bigger than 0.8333 W/m^2.. 5.2 W/m^2 is at distance 16.16 AU from the Sun. Please also notice it's easy to make mistake by calculating distance satellite traveled from Earth 40.4 AU, instead of from the Sun (not saying it's in this case because I didn't verified data).

You're making assumption that every star has the same mass as Sun and/or that Sun's mass is average star mass across entire observable Universe.

How many water molecules is in [math]1 m^3[/math] volume? [math]1 m^3[/math] volume of water has mass [math]1000 kg = 10^6 g[/math] H2O has molar mass ~18 g/mol. [math]\frac{1,000,000g}{18\frac{g}{mol}}=55555.556 mol[/math] [math]1 mol = 6.022141*10^{23} molecules[/math] [math]55555.556 mol * 6.022141*10^{23}=3.34563389*10^{28}[/math] 1 Liter of gas has approximately 0.0446 mol = 2.686*10^22 molecules 1 m^3 volume has 1000 L, so 44.6 mol = 2.686*10^25 molecules (at normal pressure, room temperature) That's approximately 1245 times less than in water with the same volume. Only tiny tiny fraction of molecules of water has direct contact with molecules of air, on surface of water. Try to slice these volumes/areas to smaller and smaller pieces. 1m^3 volume with 1 m^2 area on top. Then 1mm^3 with 1mm^2 on top and so on so on, until you will receive single molecules at nano and pico scale. Air molecule don't let water molecule to fly away from container. If we will place glass of water in hermetic container, and pomp out whole air from it, nothing will be pressing at water from above, and water molecules will fly away from glass, becoming gas.

But electric field is result of presence or not presence of electrons, ions, or other charged particles, which are "real physical objects". There will be no electrons, or nucleus, there will be ~0 electric field around them. We use electric field to learn about other electric fields f.e. place plates of electrodes around flowing water, and causing change of direction of water (that's polar). We use magnetic field to learn about other magnetic fields f.e. place magnetized iron needle, and checking in which direction it's rotating. If there is lack of artificial magnetic field, it will rotate according to Earth's magnetic field. Magnet made of "real physical object" is source, and magnet made of "real physical object" needle is target.

Toilet-bathroom is good place to make experiments also. I have there couple 25L aquariums where is produced HCl, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and other substances (how many do you know people who are keeping their gold in toilet? electrodes...) So while watching how things are going (sometimes not going, 2 weeks ago there was explosion of Oxygen at 4 at night, so access to water is needed. I just finished repairing electronics that was damaged in this accident), I have new ideas how to improve setup, or ideas of new experiments, etc.

I have always 40+ empty pages of paper A4, and calculator in my toilet. Used every day not once..

Typical house in EU has power provided U=230 V,I=18 A, P=U*I=230 V*18 A = 4140 W = 4 kW After exceeding Imax fuses are disconnecting.. Better check your maximums before proceeding (even if you're in factory).

C'mon! Then it's not true. Atom is nucleus + electrons. You would have to say "real physical object is made of nucleus/baryons", to reject electrons from being real physical objects. But we're made of electrons that were created (or at least could be) in pair production, while its antiparticle travel somewhere else, or annihilated already..

Didn't I say in #13 post about pair production? [math]\gamma + 1.022 MeV \rightarrow e^+ + e^-[/math] [math]\gamma + 1.876544 GeV \rightarrow p^+ + p^-[/math]

If particle is not "real physical object", then we (clusters of billions of billions particles) are not real either.. Are you suggesting Universe is simulation? It could be. But if it's perfect simulation, then we will never be able to find it out. Suppose so, intelligent life is appearing in the Universe. It's evolving. Learning physics. Creating computers. Making simulation algorithm that has everything included. And in simulation there is happening Big Bang, then stars are forming. They're fusing etc. etc. and finally after billions years of simulation there is appearing intelligent simulated life, and cycle is repeating..
