  1. does spacetime curve or do objects in a gravitational field simply shrink and become time dilated like they do when moving near the speed of light?

    have a look at post #5:-)

  2. Well the question you need to ask yourself is: if intelligence is largely determined by genetic factors, then how come no one has been able to discover genes that code for intelligence?
    But that is no proof that intelligence is not determined by genetic factors. Maybe we still don't have the technology needed to do that. Keep in mind that we know the structure and function of just a few genes compared to their overall number.

     

    Besides, if intelligence is not determined so much from genetic factors, what could have possibly influenced in Newton's intellectuall brilliancy? What outside factor? Apples and trees?

  3. light is curved or bends because of the energy and/or matter in that region of space

    Dude, ligh is curved becuase it is going through curved space, which is a manifestation of gravity.

    "Gravity manifests itself as the curving of spacetime." -swansont

     

    who has thought the way I do about the subject ?

     

    no one that I know of

    Is that relevant in determing whether you post was true or not?
  4. I forgot to mention that the two bromides are in cis. (Sorry)

     

    Addition comes out as tran (pi bonds are anti) doesn't it?

     

    Thank you for fast reply ^^

    This is how I see it.

    Besides, there is no cis-trans isomery in pent-1-ene

    (excuse the drawing)

  5. Most of the games I play you gain rank by killing people...
    Unfortunately (or not?) these kind of games seem to train brain (rhymes I know:-)) to process more data per time. Thats another reason why I kill so much>:D
  6. "Double hard" isn't entirely true - in most programs, there's a large overlap in classes, especially in terms of the crap 'general education' stuff.

    That a common thing to almost all of science, but each branch of it requires a different approach. Biology and Chemistry sure do differ from one another in crucial points, and biology-realted problmes need differnet aproach from chemistry-realted ones.

    But yeah, you're, biochem would encompass what he seems to like doing:-)

    This is definitely my most favorite comedy ever!

    Not only makes you lol, but it also shows you the kind of geeky bastard modern scientist are becoming (no offense).

     

    Have you seen any bit of it? What do you think about it?

  8. Actually, all IQ tests are pretty meaningless. Whether one is taking an online IQ test to qualify for Mensa or doing one of Weschler's Adult Intelligence Scales, the only thing measured on such a test is the ability to regurgitate culture-specific bits of trivial information.

    But isn't that (more or less) what they're trying to do, and that the test is about?

  9. 1.) Does the one neutron change the orbital pattern in deuterium?
    I presume not. The orbital pattern is determined by the nature of electrostatic forces, and a neutron has no such propertries. But there are differences anyhow.

    "Bonds involving deuterium and tritium are somewhat stronger than the corresponding bonds in light hydrogen, and these differences are enough to make significant changes in biological reactions (see heavy water)." - Wiki

     

    2.) Could you say only protons are responsible for the atoms orbital structure?
    If my answer above is correct, then yeah!

     

    3.) Also if a hydrogen atom was accelerated to 2x the relativistic mass/energy of 1 proton, would the orbital structure change to something more like a helium atom?
    I don't think so. That would involve a change in mass (an increase of course), but the charge wouln't change (AFAIK).
  10. No.
    Tha's a big word you know!
    If even a small amount of matter should likewise appear today science would be unable to explain it and it would be considered a miracle.
    It won't appear don't worry. We know that from conservation of energy (since matter is energy)!
    But still science does not consider existence of the universe a miracle.
    There is absolutely no reason why we should give this more privilege than the other countless problems since deals with.

    It indeed is a striking thing to even just think about, but that makes is just another problem for science, nothing more!
