  1. Awesome book. I tried to buy The Greatest Show on Earth, but the Barnes & Noble here doesn't carry it.
  2. A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles.The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him.He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.She directs him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter. She says, confused, 'Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife? He answers, 'You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store To get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers; cause it's sooo-ooo--oo- ooo much cheaper. So, I figure if I have to Roll my own .......... So does she.

    In a carnot engine, the working fluid is at the temperature of the heat source when the fluid is at the heat source, and it is at the temperature of the heat sink when it is at the heat sink.Heat transfer, however, is impossible without a difference in temperature([math]Q=mc(T_{hot}-T_{cold})[/math]) This is a temperature-entropy diagram of an ideal carnot cycle: The line from A to B represents the heat being transferred into the system.The line from B to C represents an Ideal work process performed by the system. Notice how the line is straight. In all real work processes, friction exists, and thus entropy increases. The line from C to D represents heat being transferred out of the system. The line from D to A represents an Ideal work process performed on the system. Note this line is straight as well. In real heat engines, the work lines are curved, because they both increase entropy. edit:gah, I play with a heat engine every day....I should be able to explain it better than that.
  5. In the Engineering section
  6. lucaspa, the fused chromosome is what allows sin. Before eating the forbidden fruit, mankind had no sin and no fused chromosomes. The forbidden fruit fused the chromosomes and made Adam and Eve sinful. That explains scientifically how we are all sinners!
  7. Here's mine:
  8. Welcome. Care to tell us about yourself? What you like to do, favourite area of science, etc?
  9. Gamma Function [math]\Gamma(z)=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{n!n^z}{z(z+1)...(z+n)}[/math] edit: 4,000th post....oh yea
  10. Could you please explain how it is necessary in science? I really can't see where you're coming from here.
  11. Really? Let's look at the next line of your post. Gosh, it looks like that is EXACTLY what I claimed you said! Let's see. I'll requote this post. In case you missed it, this is you stating fundamentalists aren't Christians. And here is you saying Christians accept evolution. Let's see, fundamentalists don't accept evolution, ergo, you say they aren't Christian. It seems like a pretty standard True Scottsman Fallacy from here. Then why bring it up in a discussion about Evolution? You were talking about Christians and how they accept evolution. You did not say "some"; you said Christians, which implies "all Christians". When called on it, you spout some bollocks about your definitionof Christian being based on the Nicene Creed implying some connection to the acceptance of evolution and NOT explaining how fundamentalists do not apply to these standards. By that reasoning, everyone who does not kill their children for talking back is not a Christian.
  12. Your post to which I replied was a True Scottsman fallacy. You set up an arbitrary condition for one to be a Christian which cuts out a large amount of Christians. The only "true" Christians, in your post, are the ones which believe in evolution. IIRC, that condition is not in the bible.
  13. I actually did both. I'm talented like that.
  14. Good thing lucaspa knows a true Scottsman when he sees one.
  15. so, if we redefine "myth" to mean something besides "myth", then we all believe in "myth"s?
  16. care to tell us anything about yourself?

    i like how he called his ex to have her get tested......lmfao

    which episode was that on?

    hmmm....that's why it smells this way.i didn't know that. i'll have to write the governor about that one.
  20. kicked into pseudoscience or closed or both.
  21. isn't that somewhat covered by the engineering forum?
