For instance, to date we have no means beyond increasing velocity of getting anywhere in reasonable time. The nearest stars are 10000 times as far away as the farthest planet in the Solar System, and it takes our craft years just to go from planet to planet. For those, who have not thought on these lines and think we can just find ways of increasing velocity, just think what happens to the shuttle when it re-enters what is very thin atmosphere - it burns up, and if the heat shields are slightly out of whack, people die.

That's the reality. At speeds just a fraction of light (many times faster than a shuttle re-entry), no craft could withstand entering the most sparsely spread dust or gas field.

What's the solution?

I have had the fear of thunder and lightning since childhood. The loud sound of thunder and the bright light from lightning frightens me so bad that I can't function. I was told by my mother that while she was pregnant with me she too had a fear of thunder and ligtning as well. Any solutions?

A solution of potassium dichromate is added to an acidified solution of iron (II) chloride.

I know it ends up looking like this Cr2O72− + H+ + Fe2+ --> Cr3+ + H2O + Fe3+

But I do not understand why.

I do the problem: limit 2 over 1 3x^-2. When I anti differentiate I get 3(x^-1)/-1 which means -3x^-1. I substitute the limits into the problem and get: -3 times 2^-1 which equals 6. And: -3 times 1^-1 which equals 3. The difference is 3 which is my answer, but the book says that the answer is 1.5
