Ok you have a negitive and a positive mass and they attract each other and gain energy but because there is a 0 inbetween them they can never meet but they gain more energy the more they move. Basicaly I believe this is what is at the center of our universe and the basic building blocks of all matter. what do you think of my moronic ideas? Thanks for responces.

"Elfs", "twelfs", "base 7", and similar garbage. Tom Lehrer's song didn't come to my attention till AFTER bad math phobia/hatred had set in, bigtime.
Why were they trying to teach NM to grade school kids, what on earth can you DO with it (practically speaking), and can any math whizzes here give me a VERY, VERY, VERY simple grade-school-level explanation (remember, math dummy here!) of how the $%#$# thing is **supposed** to work? I'm still wondering, years later.
Thanks, all!

Since our moon is moving away from Earths orbit, in time it may be captured by Mars or Venus's gravitational pull.
I theorise that the same thing happend before. That our moon may have migrated from Venus or Mars, Eons ago.
Just wondering...

Say I was trying to create an Island of Dr Moreau living nightmare by mating humans with animals.

Why would it not be possible to create a zebra/human hybrid by fertilising a zebra egg with human sperm and why can other animals cross-breed with a zebra when humans cannot?

I've been bawling my eyes out all day since I found out that Pluto is not longer considered a planet. Why did they have to do this? Why couldn't they just keep it the way that it is?

Or any of the other planets/moons for that matter? Would they fling out in space? Fall in the sun? Collide?

And by gravitational pull - I mean the **** that keeps it in alignment with the sun and other planets...

Ok, I have begun review to get ready for this years Calculus at University.
I have forgotten how to rationalize the denominator when there is three terms. Can someone help me? Can I do conjugates when there are three terms?

Here is the question:

_____1_____
