a. This is a fallacy with no foundation in science.

d. An acid and a base form water and water has odor.
e. The smell of lemon masks the fishy smell because lemon has a stronger smell.

If I add more restriction (system head) to a water circulator pump, the flow goes down. Do the Amps drawn by the pump go up or down? I have seen conflicting charts on this. Does a deep well pump act differently than a circulator (Taco 007)? Why would it? Thanks BBP

The line will be an 8" header for vacuuming services in a power plant (flyash). We've used steel in the past but the are heavy and expensive to replace when they erode through. I was wanting to use a cheap plastic (PVC or CPVC). I don't think PVC will work temperature wise as the ash can sometimes be around 250-300F. Is there any other relatively inexpensive plastic pipe I can use that has a good thermal rating (like CPVC) but is better at resisting erosion??

When a space shuttle leaves earth, and thinking of the solar system as a flat plane, if they were heading toward the moon, why not go straight down? They always go out to search for stuff, who says theirs nothing of interest below us.

Basic electricity is part of the course I am studying. Nearly got it but not quite.
I understand that electrons flow, but how? Is it like a knock on effect like dominoes from atom to atom(bad anology I know).
Why is UK 230 V and US 110V. What difference does this make.

You recently had an auto accident that was your fault. If you have another accident or receive another moving violation within the next 3 years, you will become part of the "assigned risk" pool, and you will pay an extra $600 per year for insurance. If the probability of an accident or moving violation is 20% per year, what is the probability distribution of your "extra" insurance payments over the next 4 years? Assume that insurance is purchased annually and the violations register at the end of the year - just in time to affect next year's insurance premium.

If the South had won the War of Northern Agression (or 'Civil War'), where might our two countries be today? Given how bad things have gotten in the U.S.A., it's not hard to believe that history might have taken a better turn. Slavery of course would be long gone, for economic reasons. Race relations today in the Old South, in rural areas and cities such as Charleston, South Carolina, are generally better than they are in northern cities.. When southerners say they have a special relationship with blacks based on many generations of living together at close quarters, they have a point. The real damage to race relations in the south came not from slavery, but from Reconstruction.

Certainly Southerners would not be living under the iron rule of an all-powerful federal government, as we all do now. Northerners might not be, either; a Union defeat would have given states' rights a boost in both countries. The Tenth Amendment might still have the force of law even up north.

Couldn't Newton's third law of motion, "for every action an equal and opposite reaction", somewhere down the line eventually be translated to..."for every action, a reason"? Think about it for awhile before answering.
