I am confused since I was taught that Henry Ford invented the automobile, now there's a lady in a museum who says Elwood Haynes did, but Ford mass produced the automobile, and now a Daimler-Chrysler commercial claims the automobile was invented in Germany.

particularly tower 1 and 2. I am doing a little research about how they fell and would like all the info I can get, the original blue prints or plans would be very helpfull. Since they were destroyed nearly 5 years ago I'm assuming the plans needn't be a secret anymore.

I always believe that after a nuclear explosion that there is this nuclear fallout, but isn't there a way to get rid of it? or is it going to be around for a long time. I remember hearing a weapons expert on talk radio say that U.S. Nuclear weapons now are more advanced to the point where during a nuclear explosion, all the radioactive materials burn up, thus almost reducing the Nuclear Fallout to none. Plus, I remember him saying that after a Nuclear blast, the way to get rid of the radiation is to get out a Geiger Counter with some protective gear and pick up all the radioactive materials left over. I mean how is Nagasaki and Hiroshima habitable now?

Did someone take an impression of real leather in order to emboss this into plastics, or is the texture created using some chemical method?

Here's an example of the texture I mean: http://www.automobiletrim.com/images/vinyls/heavy.jpg
You sometimes see it in car dashboards etc, I assume to provide grip and reduce the appearance of marks.

I assume cows would have unique skin patterns, much like fingerprints. If real cow skin patterns are used, would that make the cow immortalised in texture form?

This question is related to engine cooling for a rocket engine.
Hydrogen is in a solid state below −259.14°C.

The hot water or liquid is going inside the coolant, with the help of pumps, to give of the heat (which is 2227°C-3327°C ) to the hydrogen core.

I have seen the term ferro resonance used in a few answers on this site recently and I had not heard of it before. The term doesn't have a Wikipedia page, and my web searching doesn't seem to come up with any scientific explanation of the phenomenon (though I did find a few definitions of what it is).

Thanks.
