  1. Vexen has been suspended for a combination of soapboxing and spamming. Far too many threads opened up with no further participation (and when participation is there, it is often of the category "tell me more"), and includes threads that are topics easily Googled. This is a discussion forum.
  2. Cookies are impossible.
  3. ! Moderator Note You need to do better than a link to an audiobook.
  4. I can imagine a perpetual motion machine, entropy spontaneously decreasing in an isolated system, and instantaneous transport over an arbitrarily long distance.
  5. DavidWebb has been banned as a sockpuppet of Jason Bourne InSe, Bean_Spiller and Pock Suppet
  6. It's a month later. I don't recall which reference.
  7. The situation is complicated, so the action builds slowly. If felt the same about The Sopranos. Watched the first episode, thought it was boring, wasn't hooked, never went back. But The Wire hooked me, way back when, even though it had a bit of a slow build.
  8. I don’t know if it’s 4K. I watched it on my iPad.
  9. The Expanse (though it is now an Amazon show and not technically a TV show)
  10. Plastic Shoes has been banned as a sockpuppet account (probably The Operator and Taxonomist, and perhaps more, but definitely someone who has been here before)
  11. ! Moderator Note More off-topic posts have been removed.
  12. FreedomRider has been banned as a sockpuppet of Achilles (and eggman2)
  13. nymnpseudo has been banned as a sockpuppet of coffeesippin
  14. The Operator has been banned for violations of our rule against slurs, and even more posts that hinted at such tendencies. We are just not interested in entertaining those conversations.
  15. If you're trying to check and see if you're correct, you should check this against your references. You cited a wikipedia reference that has discussion and also a list of references. I would check there.
  16. This just appears to be the Lagrangians of different interactions. As such, it would likely not be "derived" in any more detail. In classical (nonrelativistic) mechanics, the Lagrangian is simply L = KE - PE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_mechanics It's a way of solving problems using energy rather than forces. Which lends itself to QM problems, since you don't really talk about forces and kinematics at the quantum level.
  17. Richard B Richardson has been banned as a sockpuppet of Impressive Science Word
  18. ! Moderator Note I have snipped the last post owing to copyright violation concerns. You can't just copy a web site and post it here. The details are at the linked site
  19. Tahir Gorgen has been promoted from the mod queue to the banned list for some posting activity that fortunately never appeared (only visible to the mods, which is a goal of the mod queue)
  20. Yes. While I can believe it’s fairly common, suggesting that it’s nearly universal is a stretch.
  21. Snoopy has shot down Theredbarron, who will not be returning to our skies until after the weekend. Repeated soapboxing and an inappropriate response to moderator action.
  22. ! Moderator Note Let's stick to the topic of the OP The discussion on "time is energy" has been split https://www.scienceforums.net/topic/117599-time-is-energy-split-from-what-is-space-made-of/
  23. It’s everywhere. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water http://www1.lsbu.ac.uk/water/electrolysis.html Feel free to update the wikipedia page
  24. Probably not. The reaction requires a minimum of 1.23 V, and you need more than that from your battery, because the potential drops throughout the circuit. AA gives a max of 1.5 V, and it’s lower for rechargeables and alkaline batteries thst have been used. Two in series, though, should work. >5V would be even better
  25. fredreload has been added
