callipygous is right the mass matters, not the weight. alright assuming that the foam strutsdo nothing but keep the egg in place until the box hits the ground, then you still have the problem of the water not providing sufficient drag to stop the egg, and it will continue to fall and subsequently crack on the bottom of the box.

yes but some people have to drive to get to their job, they don't have a choice in the matter as they can't afford to live closer, do you think the janitor's of silicon valley live in those nice suburban developments? So in effect your giving a bonus to the rich people who are able to afford housing close to where they work, and punishing those who can't. Also the economy runs on energy more than anything else, if you increase the cost of energy than every factory in the united states has to increase its prices to compensate. (keep in mind that energy is traded on a national market, so if all the oil fired power plants increase their prices it effects everyone)

if the foam is solid (which they would have to be if they were going to keep the egg from falling to the bottom), then you would still have a decelleration problem. the water does nothing.

yeah if bush starts vetoing the democrats ils left and right it would make an impeachment proceeding far more practical and popular.

your not going to get an even pressure distribution if you use water. what will happen is the box will fall, hit the ground, and cause the water to come to a halt very rapidly,(also sending some shockwave up through the egg. Then the egg will continue to fall and hit the bottom of the crate. I would highly doubt that that shockwave would significantly slow the egg.

wait the dimensions were just 10X10cm that sounds like the dimensions of the base, not the height. if you can have an unlimited height, I'd say put in a strong metal rod in the center of a metal base (you could probably find such a construction somewhere. then put a set of strong rubberbands from the top of your rod to the egg. make sure the rubber bands are strong, and have a fair amount of stretch in them, (you may want to calculate the g forces and elasticity before hand) and then drop it, in theory the heavy metal base should ensure that it lands in the proper manor, and then the rubber bands should slow it to a halt within a distance of say 30 cm, thereby cutting down the average acceleration to 20 g's (although the maximum acceleration will be significantly higher). also your teacher may make an exception for the corn starch, as making a non-newtonian fluid is pretty damn cool. (and also the best option) as for the other fluid ideas, I don't think water would provide enough cushioning to avoid a shock when the egg finally hits the side of you container. keep in mind that some force has to act on the bottom of the egg in order to slow it down, so the only thing that the water does is increase the drag on the egg. (it won't distribute the impact)

24 hour news, instead of trying to produce the best and most informative news show at 6 o'clock the next day. News networks of today try and make sure they are presenting everything that the other guy is presenting, and then they hire people to talk about it. The news network of today doesn't gain anything by being informative. Also on a 24 hour cycle you don't have time to sit back and look at whats really important moving forward. If you have a guy in baghdad where a bomb just went off, your going to have him tell you whats going on, what the situation looks like at the bomb site. And by the time the dust settles and they just might talk about whats really going on, like who the general's are etc. another bomb goes off, or they flash to someone on the deck of an aircraft carrier watching the planes take off (which is all they are doing, because you can't get useful information on the deck of an aircraft carrier). You could also see that trend in the persian gulf war, during the bombing of baghdad you saw video coming out of the hotel's where the journalists were staying showing you the sheets of anti-aircraft gun fire goin up into the sky. And again in Vietnam, where for the first time you could see color footage of soldiers bodies getting packed into hellicopters. Perhaps part of what is going on is that the events and the feel of the situation has become more important than the big picture. Also how do american journalists get access to the heirarchie's of the the Iraqi resistance groups? While it may be possible to glean the identities of a few top people, how could they find out about the rest?

actually a number of your first points address real problems in the big bang theory that are being worked on ie. what triggered the big bang? did the big bang really come out of a singularity? etc. scientific knowledge at present starts about a second after the big bang. however the rest of your post about the formation of stars etc. is pure nonsense, there's a wonderful force in the universe, gravity.

what subect do you teach?

yeah that simpifies down to (root 3)/4 s

the easiest way to concoct anexample of macroevolution is to just seperate a species into two populations, and then apply a selection pressure on one population to develop radically different sex organs. for instance if you selected for very large penises and very large vagina's, then eventually the two populations could no longer breed merely because the mechanics wouldn't work out. then you apply another selection pressure to the members of one of the new "species" to develop fur (because its cold) or to shrink in size (because there isn't enough food) or some other such thing you will soon have two very different species. If you continued to apply distinct selection pressures you could have entirely different categories of species.

hmm it looks like it has 13 characters broken into 3 words. the binary sequences are from the binary alphabet and the numbers are the letters place number in our alphabet, / means that anew character is beginning, and // means there's a space. I'm fealing a bit lazy and don't want to look up what the letters actually are. however I would guess that its a_---_wery_-ma-t I have a feeling the w is a v an you just made a mistake in your counting.

hmm I think we forgot about something, students just started buying their books for the spring semester, so al the textbooks are goin to go up in ranking and the other books down. then for the next month or so I'd imagine the entire market is going to decline as the primary audience is going to be busy, and then after that we could get some real nmbers on the subject.

actually melting sea ice does make somewhat of a diference, if you note the ice is composed of freshwater (the salt gets forzen out), and the sea water is composed of salt water which has a higher density than water, so when the ice melts there is some increase in water levels.

a hunter is out with his kid and runs into a body, if you don't bother to bury the body then eventually its going to be found, beyond that over the course of say 20-30 years the body may be uncovered by a rain storm or some such, and then there may still be some evidence on the body I've heard of people finding bodies in their backyard as they were putting in a pool, and sometimes they are still able to find the killer.

not outclassed, I can't spot tricks like that for anything so I just figure out ways of guaranteeing an answer no matter what the polynomial is.

set it equal to zero and solve (if by hand look up and use cardano's method) then plug the roots into the expression (A-a1)(A-a2)(A-a3) where a1,a2,a3 are the roots and should be functions of B ^note in the above your using A as your x.

hmm at least one of those cases has nothing to do with medical ethics, the Armstrong case involving the medical students has absolutely nothing to do with the students ability to act ethically in their profession, and seems to me like some harmless fun between consenting adults. (whether or not you approve of it doesn't matter) I only read two of the reports, so I don't know how valid the rest of those are. However it is important to make the distinction between practices that are medically and professionally ethical and practices which are personally unethical, one of these is defined the other is not.

I thought ramen was a single brand "ramen" I don't think ramen has any msg as I'm alergic to it and so would be doubled over on the floor with a migraine if the noodles had it.

most likely a volvo, if you want pure speed for a short (but not too short, you have to run the mazda rotaries for 10 minutes at a minimum) go with the mazda. If you want performance go with the S15 (I would imagine, as I really disliked driving the RX-8)

yeah why wouldn't the earth wabble? is it even remotely cncievable that every chunk of matter that ever hit the earth at any point its history was moving exactly in the "plane" of our solar system. and why would it have started 4500 years ago and not 10 million, 100 million, or even 4.5 billion years ago?

this thread is for all the people who have at one point almost lived off of this tasty snack. How nutritious is it really? It appears to have a fair number of carbohydrates but I'm not sure if it contains anything else

however it is a unit that most people are familiar with at this point, and forms a nice and easy system with which to measure just about anything you would want to measure. who cares if its actually based on something fundamental?

you are considering two different theories simulatneously. the oscillating b fields and E fields that you speak of arise in maxwells equations as an explanation for light. Because light is a wave it obeys the wave equation (which can be determined independantly of the equation) after some very interesting thought experiments you will arive at an equation for the speed of light. this equation predicts the speed of light to incredible accuracies, however it is not exactly correct and if you go down to a very small scale you will see some difference's in the speed of light from the theoretical value, which is due to quantum field theory which modifies and incorporates maxwells equations to be more accurate to the world around us and this is where the idea of a "photon" comes from. now the reason why the speed of light is constant is because maxwell's equations provide a better description of our universe than newtonian mechanics do and they do not work with a variable speed of light. So for years scientists attempted to make maxwell's equations fit newtonian mechanics, until the best theories failed under experiment (aether), then Einstein created special relativity because it reconsiled the two theories by proclaiming maxwell's equations to be correct instead of newtonian mechanics and then proceding to modify newtonian mechanics to fit maxwell's equations and a constant speed of light. as it turns out this is the correct interpretation, and the ideas of "force", "energy", and "momentum" are incorrect and based solely on our limited human experience of life. The key to understanding relativity is that the previous notions aren't the big picture and should be modified accordingly.

I tried that but it looks like it placed both the originals and the duplicates in there, if I selected all and deleted I'd lose about 2000 songs
