Bastard!

The Moller H400 has been in prototype for ages. Have a look! - http://www.moller.com/skycar.htm - I phoned the company about 5 years ago to asked how much they will cost. They said around £400,000 pounds at first - but you can't get them yet. It drives like a ordinary car on the road (that's the cool thing) but if you get stuck in a jam then you can do a vertical take off and zoom off at 400mph! Nah! Just hand out a few NVQ Level 2 skycar pilot instructor certificates once they have taken a short course and they will be able to teach everyone else! - No, but seriously - how is this any different to privately owned helecopters or planes? They are only for the rich and the licence restrictions are pretty strict. I mean loads of celebs have them - Johny Cash, Colin McRae etc.!

we need 'Mr Fusion' .......Great Scot!

Talking to / Raising the dead. In this respect then it's pertaining to the resurection of a 'dead' thread not posted in for a long time.

I disagree - I've always wanted one of these: http://www.moller.com/skycar.htm - it looks ace. As for the environment? Well there are so many cars already - and I can't see them poluting more than a plane. All in all pretty negligable pollution compared to industry and/or natural pollution (animal gas / volcanic erruption etc..) in my opinion - although that is obviously debatable (see other GW threads, which I am staying out of) OK - can I have a blue one then - the pink one might look a bit gay on me.

Use the 'left hand rule'... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-hand_rule Index finger is filed / middle finger is current / thumb is force experienced. You should be able to get the answer easily from this..

Well let me see.... (counts on fingerd and mumbles.. erm one!.. err...two, oh no.. ermm.. errr. yea, oh no..)... ... .. . I suppose it would depend upon your ink formulation, if it was a waterbased ink, you might be able to use a tritium or deuterated heavy water and ermm.. perhaps add a chicken stock cube and... er... If you thought about it long and hard enough...... err..... back to the drwaing board maybe??

ahh! but that 's only because you belive it's not going to happen!

Er.. no. It's not 'illegal' to have an afair! Morally and socially wrong yes. Wrong 'in the eyes of the Lord' yes. But ilegal, no. It is a contract and if you stray it can be legal grounds for the contract to be disolved (divorse), but adultery is not ilegal. EDIT: sorry pioneer - just realised I completely misread your what you ment here - you never actually said it was ilegal to stray - just that marriage is a legal contract and playing away is in breach of this. - However - as it is not 'ilegal' then I don't think you should disciminate against the married by saying they can't legaly go to one if a single guy can. It's a moral issue, not a legal one.

It looks as though the conection between SMBH's and galaxy formation was put forward in June 2000. This is what the Horison program was going on about. Not sure about the actual SMBS discovery though. WIMPS and MACHOS -- Always thought that was funny!... Then the discovery of SMBHs would make no difference to the theories on dark matter then, as the SMBHs are at the centre of galaxies right?

I thought super massive black holes were quite a recent discovery - like in the 90's or something. First I ever heard of them was on a Horizon program sometime arround 2000 - 2003. How do we find out exactly when they were discovered?

Did the discovery of the super massive black holes account for any of the missing mass? How much?

My mate actually pee'd on a lava stream from a volcano one summer holiday! He was in Sicilly when Mt Etna went off. Every one was fleeing the eruption and he thought 'what the hell, you only live once - that's something I want to take a closer look at' so went up to take a look. He got past the police baracades buy pretending to be a volconolagist (he just waved his student card at them ).

Golf Golf Golf..... Shame I still have to work though! Isn't it REALLY cold there though?

How they perceive it doesn't matter. The reflected light from the 'green' surface, as we perceive it, is the same wavelength that's hitting the eyes of everyone. As long as they each perceive it in their own ways consistently each time, green will always be green, even if it is perceived as blue by Fred and red by Ernie. They will always see their own colour for the light reflected by the green surface in the same way. i.e. the label/definition of green is based on the wavelength of the light reflected from the surface, not how it is perceived.

Similar (but not the same) is the behaviour of males being comparable to the bower bird. The more colourful (more physically attractive) bower birds do not really take to long over building their bowers (love nests/houses). The plainer ones build very elaborate ones. The females assess their mates on both visual appearance AND ability/enthusiasm for building a bower. Thus a very colourful bird doesn't need to be so good at bower building to get a mate, but a dull one needs to build a palace. In the human world, I suppose it is a bit more complex, but you could say a naturally attractive man doesn't need to groom quite so well to attract a mate, where as if you are unattractive, you need to dress sharp, smart and maybe keep up with the fashions to get the mate(having a large house too would help). Hey if you're both attractive and well groomed even better I suppose. To get to your point about fashion, or looking up to date and attractive I think you are right - I think it goes further than just the sharing of info though - it's also about finding a mate I rekon.

The weight was cancelled out when working out the accelaration due to gravity, NOT when working out the force he exerts against friction and drag.

Sin^2A + Cos^2A = 1 is sort of nice in a way.

I have phone numbers of freinds I had back in Junior School and haven't talked to for years (30 years in fact! ). Oh - yea, and old bank account numbers where I acctually don't know my current one (If I concentrate on it and use it 2 or 3 times from memory then it stays there).

That's what I would have expected. Yes their drag co-efficients will be different, but not as different as their force opposing it i.e. mg. I reckon the big guy would just win. (obviously I could be wrong as Klaynos suggests as I have not done any maths here and each individual case would be different) Now... uphill would be a completely different matter!!

I think our cat likes it when I play the guitar. It likes it when I do some harmonics, apply a gentle bass line and 'widdle' over it with some major key melodies. It kinda looks suprised when I start and then it looks sort of pleased and curious and lies down and sleeps. I doubt it would be impressed if I plugged the thing in, applied some distortion and blasted away some thrash metal though!

Do you mean like the flux of the North Pole of a magnet going off in a straight line to meet that of the South Pole that has gone off in the other?

It will get sucked in and squished I expect. There was a thread about black holes started just yesterday!?...

Water is one OXYGEN with two Hydrogens attached.- Thus H2O. The 2 coming after the H means there are 2 of them not the oxygen. This site: http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/molecule.html - goes on about the size and dimentions of the water molecule from what I could tell. QUOTE: "Water molecules are tiny and V-shaped with molecular formula H2O and molecular diameter about 2.75 Å." Type "water bond length" into google and have a read around.
