For some reason, the fluorescent lamp in my bathroom wouldn't come back on once it was turned off. I used to have to climb up on the vanity and jiggle it (the lamp) for a while and then it would stay on. This was unacceptable. I decided we would just leave it on at all times. It has been on for over two years now. How long will it last? Does it last longer if left on than switching it on and off 20 times a day? Is it different for an incandescent lamp?

Show of hands: who thought I put this question in the wrong forum when they read the title?

In the category of Hydro Magnetic Magnetoidal Dimensions :
When traveling at a sub-sonic speed during the last one hour of hyper sleep, which vector of the Rebulum Nobula will suffer the wrath of the impenetrable quickening? And for extra points how many wraths to the nearest molton? Be specific as this is a real question.

I need a logical, comprehensible answer for these questions.

EELS of single-walled carbon nanotubes has been done by several groups but nobody has studied spectroscopy of a nanotube carrying a current. If I do momentum-resolved EELS on a nanotube while I apply a current across it, look at the sigma-to-pi peak and compare the parallel and anti-parallel DOS, will I be able to see the effect of the current?

It is possible to form and collapse a gravitational field. I need an institution to verify that it is being done. There is a writing "The Problem and Repair of Relativity" found at http://360.yahoo.com/noddarc that at the end of it, describes the principles involved.

as anybody with a portable radio receiver can verify. However, light waves, which are also electromagnetic waves, undergo no discernible diffraction around buildings. Why not?

If a hammer has mass 500kg and it falls freely fom rest a height of 5m on to a pile of mass 1500kg. They then move together as the pile is driven 0.12m into the ground. The intial velocity of the hammer is 10m/s. The velocity after impact is 2.5m/s. The total Kinetic Energy of the pile and hammer is 6250J. The total Potential Energy of the pile and hammer is 2400J.

does anyone remember what happend to that race on star trek where they built a dome around a star? I mean you could probably start making matter with energy if you had the ability to harness the power of a "star" What if you could do the inverse for a black hole? Also what would be the effect of doing the same to the planet earth instead of useing it to gain energy you used it to shield it from energy? Would the earth start to super cool and become a black hole? How much do you trust the people in power and what are you gona do about it?

Assuming you could travel at the speed of sound, if you were to stand directly under a lighting bolt when it struck (and not die) and were to instantly be going the speed of sound what would it sound like and for how long would you hear it?

weird question, i know.
