Science & Mathematics - 18 January 2007

Now, go back to sleep eco-warriors or keep sucking on that joint. I am not looking for a “We are destroying the world look at the pollution” answer here!!

I mean literally destroy (obliterate, mollicate etc.), split the earth in two, much like the now conspiratorial boasts of Nikola Tesla.

How would we go about doing it? If we had access to all of the atomic weapons of the world where would we place them? Would this even scare the earth’s surface? Are there better ways to do this?

Do humans overrate their importance, is it that we really are insignificant? Is it wrong to ask such a question, why? Are you oversensitive and overprotective? Do you think the world will last forever, are you a materialist etc. etc.

Scientist can only go back to micros-seconds after the Big Bang with Quantum Theory and they mostly agree that there was nothing before the Big Bang. So even if all the energy was compressed to zero, there must have been some potential awaiting a 'trigger' of some kind. It did happen didn't it???

As we all know, there are future plans to start construction on the moon. Which means that there are going to be a need for construction workers, law enforcement, farmers to grow food and whatever else is needed to have a controlled society. So who would be willing to start and raise a family on the moon?

For the people who have to see something on tv first - explanation: possibility of 'blasphemy power stations', where blasphemy is used to provoke lightning from gods.
This question was removed because it wasn't understood. What about this time?

If it is DC lightning, the current would reduce as the charge in the earth builds up. So unless we discharged to the moon, and then Mars and Venus, the power would fail. And when we do discharge, where will it go from - skyscrapers? Would the gods switch to AC power?

If AC, what shape would the wave be - sine, square, shepherd's crook?

Hi, I study at home and I am having a hard time with Chemistry. I need urgent help!! I added three problems that I would be very thankful if anyone helped solving them. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!


Consider HSO-4 , NH+4 , H2O , SO2-2. Which one or which ones can be classified as Bronsted base?


a) HSO-4 , NH+4 , H2O ,

b) H2O and SO2-2

c) HSO-4 Only

d) NH+4 Only

e) SO2-2 Only



Fix the coefficient of the following reactions, using the oxi-reduction method.


a) P + HNO3 + H2O ---- H3PO4 + NO

b) Hg + HNO3 ----- Hg (NO3)2 + H2O + NO

c)MnO2 + HBr ---- MnBr2 + Br2 + H2O


In the reaction HNO3 + H2S --- H2O + NO + S , the sum of all coefficients after the adjustment will be:

( ) 16
( ) 20
( ) 14
( ) 12
( ) 18

I was looking for books to learn about evolution. And I am a big Dawkins fan. Mostly for atheism i'm just now starting to think evolution is valid. But Jonathan Wells’s book seems to say other wise. And I am thinking about getting it as a companion to my study of evolution. But I also realize he is a creationist. Is he just destroying evolution to somehow make his own theory seem better? Or is he actually speaking without a byist for his theism.

In this question, use the information s(t)=-16t2+v0t+s0. You may also
use your calculator on this question.
We throw a rock into the air with initial velocity of 50 ft/sec, and
initial position of 6 ft. Find how high the rock goes before coming back down. To answer this question, fill in the blanks in the following sentence, where the first blank gives this height, and the second blank gives how many seconds into the flight of the rock it reaches this maximum height.

Make sure your calculator shows more than 20 digits. After about 10 or so digits the patterns repeats itself. This excludes 0 and 1. Does this have to do with the fact that 43 is a prime number? I tried many combinations but saw a pattern in every case.
