  1. I don't think so. Electrostatic repulsion keeps things separate at the atomic level that aren't chemically combined. I picture the effect on the respective magnetic fields of two magnets with like polarities facing each other and trying to pushing each other away. There will be distortion in their respective fields where they meet but no crossover or penetration.
  2. Nobody is here to spoonfeed you. The way CharonY has responded to you is perfectly in line with how scientists format their replies.
  3. Why? All he's saying is what his base wants to hear, or thinks they want to hear. He's the kind of person that will sing a different political song as the occasion requires. He strikes me as a cheap-car-salesman type.
  4. Visualization of the fossil fuels we use.
  5. Tick all boxes that apply, not just one.
  6. There's always some parasitic discharge somewhere in a cell, isn't there?
  7. That depends on the wiping protocol. It could be the equivalent of all 0's or 1's or some other pattern.
  8. That's what you get for not seeing a serious question. In traditional sayings there is often some element of truth, but the relations contained in them are actually generally tenuous on closer inspection, in modern terms, where we have more resources to test ideas. I think this is one of those examples.
  9. Only because news of their deaths is tightly controlled and kept fragmented so that no one can see the whole picture. I'm sure if the news was distributed Western-style, there would be wider outrage and social unrest.
  10. I read this: Get some white vinegar in a dropper and put some partially on the gold object in small container, such that not all of the object is wetted. Leave it 5-8 minutes and see if there is any difference in colouration between the exposed area and unexposed area. If you see no difference, it's pure. This a is yay or nay test and won't tell you the proportion.
  11. It seems that China is trying to move on Taiwan whilst they think the US is tied up with Ukraine.
  12. She's got spunk. We don't say this is in the uk but it is/was a complimentt in the US.
  13. Apart from the fact it was 'faked ' 5 more times.
  14. We'll find out after the fact. We can't predict something that is emergent and we've never seen it before. It'll likely be a case of "Ooh look at that! It's sentient!"
  15. Russia's firing missles at Odessa when there's supposed be an agreement to use the port there for grain movements. They appear to be taking the piss.
  16. I'm sure he had a flexible agenda, ready to adapt at a moment's notice..
  17. I agree. From where I'm sitting, it had all the hallmarks of an attempted coup. There was too much planning involved for it not to be, as amply evidenced by the Jan 6th hearing.
  18. You clearly see different from most here, and I gave you +1 because that's the kind of thing we want to see: just facts. It's showing that Russia has alternative sources becoming available. I guess there might be more aggressive economic wrestling for the upperhand as time goes on now between the west and China. If Beijing become geopolitically dominant that may well enable other despotically-run countries to piggy-back on China's influence.
  19. If it had been black or Hispanics doing it, kicking off there with a Capitol incursion in the same way, about Floyd say, it would have probably been a bloodbath.
  20. @iNow I denegged that post then removed it, seeing as VAT's serious. Regarding the meeting last night, I must say these WH staffers are something else when it comes to professional protocol. Are these staffers like our UK civil service; somewhat outwardly apolitical?
  21. The stars photons get more red-shifted as they travel through the expanding space. The longer they travel, the more RS they become.
  22. I think you'll find that will come under control of the medical fraternity's ethics committees. I would rather be subject to the moral jurisprudence regarding matters of life and death in the hands of medical professionals, who follow time-worn, tested principles, than the spontaneous 'professional' viewpoinjt of a politician, who is most likely riddled with all the logical fallacies under the sun ruling his head.
  23. 'Kinell. Not going to happen.
  24. However you want to call it, the best judges are in the labour room, not a politician who takes their life lessons from a book of unknown or vague origins.
  25. But it would be a declaration of war. The nuclear fallout isn't going to stay in Ukraine. I don't think we would have to respond with a reciprocal nuclear strike, we can do it in all-out conventional, since we still have a lot of those available. I see Russia using tacticals if their conventionals are depleted too much to secure their objective, assuming they must succeed at any cost.,
