I'm doing some lab work at a research lab. I'm a newcomer to this place, but I was wondering if there was some sort of gas (instead of a local anesthetic) to sleep an animal. I've been searching for it, but I was unlucky, being "Knockout gas" and KOLOKOL-1 (apparently lethal) as my only results. Can someone tell me how much of what ingredients use to make this gas?

theoreticly couldnt you put a generator that we use everday in power plants in space and just spin it as fast as humanly possible and then it would just spin forever? i mean if space is a vacum then there is no friction, or gravity slowing it down.

if nuclear fusion is sustained wouldnt that mean that a sorta of mini-sun kinda thing would be produced? and if so wouldnt this mean that this little sun would behave much the way our real sun behaves. what im thinking is that if we sustained fusion then we would create a kind of sun and if this is a sun then wouldnt it produce radiation making it just as dangerous as nuclear power plants assuming we used this as a power source.

I know that A right triangle has line symmetry, but does It have Point Symmetry?

The Def. of Point Symmetry is Point of rotation (according to The Teacher).

Point of Rotation: A figure in a plane has rotational symmetry if the figure can be mapped onto itself by a rotation of 180 degrees or less.

Rotation: A type of transformation in which a figure is turned around a fixed point, called the center of rotation.

Using these definitions, I know that if you rotate the triangle less than 360 degrees, you don't have symmetry (the figure is not mapped onto itself). Can you however rotate the figure 0 degrees, in which the figure is mapped onto itself? I believe that this follows the defs., and I realize that this gives every figure a point of symmetry (But couldn't this just be a type of reflexive property?). Is there a theorem somewhere that says that a rotation must be greater that 0?

I think Einstein said something about it, but what is the relationship between gravity and electricity?
And when did who figured it out?

Scientists say the temperature of Earth's surface has risen 1 degree over the past 400 years. Caused by man made pollutants resulting in things like, Al Niño that caused disastrous effects on the fishing industry in California; more powerful hurricanes like Katrina that destroyed an entire city; fierce, uncontrollable wild fires that are destroying our forests as seen in the San Berdino area; the destruction of the ozone layer allowing dangerous radiation to enter through our atmosphere.
Scientist are justifiably alarmed. Yet our politicians say that increasing guidelines on pollution would cost the American people millions of jobs.
This is my concern; If global warming is caused by the release of pollutiants like carbon dioxide, florons, etc. What are the results of cities and forests being destroyed or the industrialization of cChina? Do they not release an unprecedent amouunt of toxins? If one degree has caused this.. Is it not concievable that it will quickly escalate?
