Science & Mathematics - 20 December 2006

I tracked when the International Space Station would be flying overhead, and when I finally saw it with the naked eye, I could very faintly make out a shape, and it looked like the shape it really is.

Am I just imagining things, or can you really see the shape of the ISS some 200 miles up there, with just your eyes?

We are going back to the moon in 2020 and hoping to have an inhabitable space station by 2024. In 2028 an asteroid is supposed to come very close to the earth. If it changes course it could collide with it. Is this an attempt to prevent the extinction of humanity? It's odd that we have such an interest in the moon after 40 years. It would only take a dozen or two dozen humans on the moon to keep humankind alive.

If I take the Element 3 (General) and Element 4 (Amateur Extra) class written tests right away, will they be usable to upgrade my license, or do I need to wait until after Docket 05-235 goes into effect.

I am using a capacitive bank to correct the power factor of my house, now using an a/c clamp meter i can see that the current required has gone down... will the electric bill go down by the same amount? (this will be the case if the meter measures total current... but if the meter measures true current it may not be so.

I was wondering: which is better for basic pain relief, products with ibuprofen or acetaminophen? Or is it eventually up to the brand (i.e., generic ibuprofen tablets against Advil)?

f(z) = { x.y^2.(x + iy) + (x^2 + y^2), z != 0
{ 0 , z = 0

z = x + iy ; i = 'iota'

to show that f(z) is not analytic at z = 0, although C-R equations are satisfied at the origin.

Plzzz help!!

if product of some of teh natrural numbers out of n, n+1,n+2,n+3,N+4 and n+5 be equal to the product of remaining, find the value of n
i.e. n *(n+2)*(n+4) = (n+5)*(n+3)*(n+1)
find n=?
n is the natural number

An alpha particle, m=4 (in atomic units), collides elastically with a calcium atom, M=20, at rest. The initial velocity of the alpha particle is Vî m/s. After collision the alpha particle has a velocity of 10î - 5j m/s. If the velocity of the calcium atom after collision is Vx î + Vyj find all the unknowns in the problem.

I mean it will be infinate touse as we cannot measure it and we could never reach an edge if it is expading at the speed of light. but to and observer from outside the universe (in whatever the universe is expanding into) wouldn't the unverse be a finate size?

Like, I figure once it's known how to do it the cheapest, fastest and safest humanly possible it should actually happen and then humanity will have somewhere new to settle and expand into seeing as how earth is pretty full and only getting fuller. I also assume that once built working on increasing food production, possible population density and improving the settled areas in terms of form and function would be an ever ongoing process. Anyone else think this is a good idea and it should actually happen?

The test also gave me a score. I did quite well in college a few years back (10) but i never really excelled in math. But based on the description given to me, I don't think a visual mathematician would necessarily do well in traditional math anyways. Here is what the test results revealed:

- I am gifted at spotting patterns in both pictures and numbers.

- I am able to see the big picture.

- People trust my instincts and turn to me for my direction. Especially in the workplace.

So based on this, what type of career would be best suited for me? I am 31 and need to find out pretty quickly! Thank you.

I can remember all through growing up that the seasons were distinct.winter was winter...(snow, ice, cold )
the summer was summer
fall was fall
spring was spring

now you get a little of everything in each season.

the trees don't even know when to shed their leaves. i noticed that some trees started to bloom a little too early.

.......GLOBAL WARMING.


we really messed up the environment.
