ACUV

This is the Original Post Ophiolite. I understand that NATO does not represent the EU. Is your country in the EU and NATO? If the answer to this question is yes then I'm asking you the following. Does your country deserve this peace prize or part thereof?

Seemingly so IYO then, it will have to be! Ophiolite, do you realise NATO does not represent the EU?

So is your country in NATO and the EU? Do you think your country deserves a part of a prize for peace as a member of both? Timo, ecoli, ElasticCollision, JohnB, ACG52, Ophiolight?

I think you could apply this rule, you are applying it wrong though here. Here is how I would apply this rule to the situation. the derivative of ( x - 2 ) ^ 1 = ( 1 ) ( ( x - 2 ) ^ 0 ) ( d/dx ( x - 2 ) ) = ( 1 ) ( 1 ) ( 1 ) = 1 It makes the process longer in this situation but it is correct.

There is of course being in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and not being in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation whilst being in the European Community, sorry, Union. I wonder how the European Community, sorry again, Union can be given a prize meant for momentous occasions in history such as, well, why not peruse the recipients while pondering their qualities? http://www.nobelpriz...eace/laureates/ edit : spelling and a ?

Thanks Bignose!

The EU received the Nobel Peace Prize while 21 EU members are members of NATO. Did anybody ever hear of a bigger piece of bullshit?

My logical argument would be that if the chances of picking any particular item in an infinite amount of choices is 0, it is because one can't consider all choices, therefore one can't randomly select an item, the chance is 0 because one can't make a choice. It isn't because all choices have been considered.

I'm supposing now that as the distribution is continuous, the choices are endless. If a number is to be picked, is the chance of picking a number equal to 0, because it is impossible to consider the choices? This is a bit like saying the chances of stepping in dog dirt while I go for a walk are 0 if I don't go for a walk. It doesn't take into account the infinite number of places that dog dirt could be because I amn't actually going for a walk. To me it seems that a value of "incalculable" or "undefined" chance of being chosen would be better suited.

EquisDeXD, I must be old school, my enlightener was even older school and 0 is zero. No chance is no chance. If an element must be picked and all elements have the same chance of being picked then the sum of the chances can't equal 0. The wiki can't rewrite my probability books.

EquisDeXD, If Bignose corrects me please make my reputation -1.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003 approximately. When I see a probability of 0 it describes , no chance. If an element is an element with equal chance of being picked just like all elements there is a paradox. An element must be picked. Are you approximating?

EquisDeXD, I have an opinion, I am entitled to make a post, I am on topic, if you want exact you may find it, you may not. The application of your answer is what is important. Do I truly care whether you do or don't get a correct answer, Why should I? I'm just trying to be helpful which is what the ethos of this forum is about. If an approximation for an area of a field results in a farmer overspending on nutrients by an acceptable sum, there is no need to be exact.

Force moves objects! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

Dekan, I have cycled up a few hills and here are a few conclusions. If you try to maintain the same speed when you cycle compared to when you walk, it will be easier, in the right gear. I can cycle for 10 minutes up a hill at a decent speed and when I try to walk the same hill at the same speed I have to stop every 3/4 minutes to have a rest. Practically, it is proven to me even if the physics theory is a little unclear.

I think you need to know when it matters and when it doesn't. It's all very well having the exact answer e.g. 3 , but is 2.999 good enough. Once I made an algorithm that calculated area under a curve and if I remember correctly the approximation had about 15 digits, 11 of which were after the decimal point before it lost accuracy in comparison to exact.

How do people think the perpetrators are going to be nabbed? To send any type of a military force to get the bad guys would be a shift in policy. The US had a policy of watching from afar as it's NATO allies used it's equipment in the mediterranean to launch military action against Libya. Your friends are your friends one year and your enemies the next when you try to take the guns from them that you gave to them last year! That's why you don't know who does what.

Maybe it was Al Qaeda El Maghreb.

Newton's third law states that action and reaction are equal and opposite. In the realm of Non Newtonian Physics, is it possible to exert a force without there being any equal and opposite of that force?

I'd first like to refer you to the following. There is a good page to have a look at. Physics and Chemistry are so intertwined. http://www.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/ The following page is the webpage about prefixes. http://www.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/chapter3/prefixes.html The prefix for milli is ............................. m The prefix for micro is .............................. μ I would look at the answer to this question as being an AVERAGE concentration. There is not a perfect mixture of acetone in this volume. It is unevenly distributed. There are 3600 milligrams of acetone in 90 cubic metres. This is an average concentration of 40 milligrams per cubic metre. You require an answer that is in micrograms per cubic metre. This is an average concentration of 40 000 micrograms per cubic metre.

As I understand it, I see no conflict here. There is merely a difference in defining the circumstances of what the arc is, whether it be a flow through a gas or a flow of electrode material in a vacuum. For the benefit of those to follow, correct me if I'm wrong. I was led to the following on seeking further explanations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschen's_law

Does lightning hitting a structural lightning conductor generate x-rays?

What colour is an electric arc through a vacuum?

This is a view of an electric arc using an apparatus of William Gurstelle. Can an electric arc jump a vacuum gap?

People care about random strangers theories all the time, why did that horse jump those fences better than those other horses?, why aren't the heavens going to open up and ruin our nice day at the beach?, why is the moon empty?. The simplest of explanations of an event by the least educated of people can account for the observations. I don't agree that as Swansont says, "Chances are that if it has any merit at all, someone else has already thought of it and written it up.". That would be an acceptance of the lack of original thought, if I am not mistaken. People steal ideas all the time.
