ok..
basically.. i learnt that light has no mass, but has momentum..
which i can ish grasp..
i dont really understand why... but anyway..

right.. my teacher said, in theory, if you had scales you could actually measure the weight of light..
now... i think in weird ways, and was curious to what if it was a clear set of scales..
100% clear..
ok.. it would still have an impact... right??
it has a mass... so it will be effected..
the light will shine though it.. but be slightly slowed, and hence be defracted to the side...
now, its been slowed down, but when it leaves this clear solid, what speed will it be at??
presuming its a vacuum..
surely it wont be the speed of light in a vacuum, as it has lost momentum
although... how wouldnt it be?? all light travels at this speed in a vacuum, reguardless of what has happened to it.
Also... if it would be slower.. why cant we almost stop light?
then measure the weight of it??
just a few thoughts of mines..
thanks for the help..

This astronaut who their telling this mediocre story about all over the news...

I just think it's a little weird but not that interesting... I think it would be a more interesting story if it turned out that she was the victim of NASA trying to discredit her because she knows too much.

And I say - if you got the diapers, use them!

I think this is a scheme by the publishers of Astronomy and Science textbooks as a means to sell more textbooks.

I need your answers based on your knowledge without looking it up. This is for an educational studies course to determine what people really know about basic concepts of science. If you could please either tell me what you do for a living or what grade in school you are in, that would be great. Thanks. The two questions are 1. WHAT CAUSES THE SEASONS (winter, spring, summer, fall)? and 2. WHAT CAUSES THE PHASES OF THE MOON?

The only person they wanted to speak to was YOU.

They now want you to show them the one single achievement on the planet that you think we as the human race should be proudest of. What would it be in your opinion?
