Science & Mathematics - 5 December 2006

My son and I were talking about energy solutions. He brought up the subject of disposal into space. We allowed the exclusion of the cost variable.

He suggested that we need to get the material on a one way ticket so that it doesn't get hung up in any orbits and using the nuclear waste as it's own fuel source for the one way ride.

I was thinking that a black hole destination would solve space junk and nuclear pollution issues.

Aside from cost, is this a viable nuclear waste disposal solution?

I'm intentionally repeating this question, because I'm scandalised at the biassed attitude of the last questioner who asked it..

hang on!
if your answer is (as we learnt in school) there are more straight rays near equator and tengestional rays of sun as you go away from it. As we know, suppose we take sun as big as size of a football then earth is less than a size of a small ball-bearing ball. so, if this is true then equal no. of rays from some part of sun should fall straight everywhere over earth. so how that is possible that equator gets more straight run rays then anywhere else? and if that is not a reason then what is!!!!!
NB: this is a real question, no funny answers please.

an advertisement consists of a rectangular printed region plus 1-in. margins on the sides and 2-in margins at top and bottom. If the area of the printed region is to be 92 in^2, find the dimensions of the printed region and overall advertisement that minimize the total area

Some catastrophe happened and electricity didn't exist so there would be no batteries or ways to charge up things. Cars wouldn't work, would they, so the transport system would come to a halt and goods and foods couldn't easily be moved. Computing and the internet would come to a full stop. Telephone lines wouldn't work .... etc. Just interested to know - what would happen and how would we manage?

Old buildings have low doorways since our ancestors were shorter, so we are definitely getting taller. But how will the human body evolve in the future? I think that humans in the future will have ENORMOUS thumbs (from all that phone texting), and very short legs since we won't walk anywhere. That's for a start ... what do you think we will evolve as?

Is it just 'cos everything around us is going the same speed so there's no point of reference like there is, say, on a fairground ride? I know it must be obvious, but it still gets me, this one.

Don't you it should have been a miracle that it was able to even sustain it self for a lifetime? Isn’t it a greater miracle that it even reproduced itself? Was this achieved after millions of attempts - the sustenance? Did it take billions of attempts to achieve reproduction? Why is reproduction so difficult in fully developed humans in some nations today?
