Are you mocking me??? )))))) j/k Is there any research benig done to prove the existance of tachyons?

No just a general thought. Then I had changed my mind into doing chemical engineering, and that's where I am now!

ummm... isn't the speed of light the fastest speed an 'thing' could travel at?

Pure oxygen isn't really good for the brain. It causes halluciinations and all. That's why deep see divers wear AIR tanks, not pure OXYGEN tanks!

yup! You got it. Or at least, that's the way I understand it!

As a state of matter?

wow! I was thinking of doing microbiology as a job!

The reason why it doesn't balance is because it isn't the sulphur dioxide that becomes the sulphuric acid. It is sulphur TRIOXIDE. This is made from suplhur dioxide in the following reaction: 2S + 3O2 ---> 2SO3 and then, this mixes with water to form suplhuric acid: SO3 + H2O ---> H2SO4

Of course it won't. What will people say when you say "Wait a minute while I go to freeze my brain!"?

I love Jakiri's explanation, it really makes sense to me. Thanx alot! Now I understand it. Also, thanx to hailstorm, who really put it in detail! Thanx!

I think that the set of replies that go with this one: would give me a better insight on how to work that out. I have to go, so, deal with it with Cap'n and I'll be back to read the threads. I think I am starting to understand it now!

2/3

ok. So, what you are trying to say is that, in order to get the right interpretation, we need to look at it in a probability tree-sort of way. We have to relate to the fact that one of the doors has been shown to be incorrect when we are left with two doors. Is that correct?

After I get this straight, I may be able to understand why changing the door gets you a higher chance of winning!

Well, after they narrow it down to two doors, you have 50% chance of picking the right door. So, what use is changing the door?

That explanation makes more sense to me. But what about the the fact that after one door has been eliminated, the chances of choosing the right door is 50%?

That is too extreme and will cause bias in the probabilities. This cannot be used as a counter-arguement as it is unfair. You can only argue on something if it matches the rules given. In this case, there will be a prize behind one of the doors

that changing would result in a higher chance of winning?

But, then it depends which door you choose at the start. Let's say that they change the door number of the winning door to something else. Then, changing would be a wrong option. Changing would result in you getting 2/3 of the time wrong!

I hope so )))

me too, but, I am not really sure how people got to the stage that changing the door will increase your chances of winning!

which is what should happen which is what shouldn't happen!

oh, I would burn my 10,000 quid diamond to add a teeny-weeny bit of carbon dioxide in the air... perfect!

I want to bring back this question:

lol. If you have diamonds that you want to destroy, give them to me, they'll dissapear in no time!
