  1. the speed of the electron in the ground state of the bohr atom is alpha*c alpha=1/137
  2. white dwarf material is totally different from neutron star material. also you might want to look up 'ultra-dense deuterium'
  3. you might want to study classical physics before trying to get into quantum mechanics.
  4. the atom only absorbs certain frequencies. all the rest pass right through your radio only absorbs the frequency that it is tuned to. it absorbs the frequency that resonates.
  5. A link would help http://arxiv.org/pdf/1001.0785v1
  6. http://www.nicolascretton.ch/Astronomy/Galaxies/Disks/Disks.html
  7. time does not 'exist' per se space does not 'exist' per se time and space are properties of events which do exist (or rather 'happen') events are the indivisible 'atoms' of existence
  8. the biblical reference to nephilim/gibborim and the sons of Elohim is obscure but is probably related to the giants and heroes (including heracles) of the greek bronze/heroic age preceding the flood of Deucalion 'Greek Mythology Link' website neanderthals being caucasians would presumably be sons of Japhet (the son of noah)
  9. if the engineers that designed this universe intended that we should be able to travel through space near light speed then they will have made neutronium armour possible. (and other things as well) otherwise we are probably just screwed
  10. everything came from everything not from nothing time itself has a beginning. you can only go so far back in time just like you can only go so far north. eventually you reach a point where you simply cant go any further north. in the beginning everything was a singularity but it wasnt nothing. nonexistence does not now nor has it ever existed. the 'event' is the indivisible atom of existence. at a deep quantum level events are not caused. rather they are 'influenced' by previous events. the first event was not influenced by any previous event. it didnt need to be.
  11. adjusted radii? inverse MeV?
  12. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeater http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=1897203#post1897203 http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=1897496#post1897496
  13. space doesnt 'exist'. space is a property of that which does 'exist' that which exists (or rather happens) is 'events'. 'events' are the indivisible 'atoms' of existence
  14. something else to consider is that by the time the speed of the infalling material becomes relativistic then the orbit becomes a spiral
  15. 3 solar masses is just the amount being sucked in. we dont know how long it was in the disk before that
  16. the thrust produced by the rocket depends on how much mass it is pushing in the opposite direction. we dont know how much air is being heated by the laser
