----I had a real problem measuring it the speedometer on my push bike only goes up to 33,000 mph so I had to make the best guess I could based on observational paralax to the nearest star. Thanks for the update, I will make sure I take off the wheelies and glitter pom poms so its a bit more aerodynamic next time I try to take a measurement B)

this problem can be solved very easily its called a report button in chat and in battles click the name of the player who breaks the rules in chat whatever that maybe and the highlighted text gets saved to be read later by a moderator with powers...this is not a numbers of moderators or lack of them its just more cool to get a special avatar rather than review the endless infractions thanklessly behind the curtain. I repeat this is not about how many people with powers there are.

I repeat this is not about how many people with powers there are.

--- electrons have indeed been split , its a complicated procedure. Electrons have a slight motion spin and orbit inside the atom, when the electrons were split apart by x-rays there were two new particles formed one particle took the spinny motion and became known as the "spinon" the other particle took the orbit motion and became known as the "orbiton" this is the first time that any fundamental motion has been observed to separate from one another the spinon only moves in one diection and the orbiton only moves in the other

----even if you stand perfectly still you are still moving at a speed of 33,000 miles per hour as that is how fast the earth travels in space

---it is all to do with the shape of the boomerang in very simple terms a boomerang is a double wing. One wing or half is carved normally and the other 1/2 is carved inverted to the other one. Normal wings derive lift as air flows over the curved top surface which takes longer to go around the wing then the flat bottom surface, as it take longer it has to move faster over this surface and reduces air pressure on top with the disparity in pressure the greater forces from below the wing forces it upwards. The other half of a boomerang with its inverted wing surface means the greater force is above and forces the wing down. As both of these forces come into play together one side of the boomerang goes down and the other side goes up which means it naturally turns in the air forming the classic arced flighted we see in returning boomerangs. There are other factors which come into play such as the size of the boomerang, its weight and how hard it is thrown. If any of these factors are mismatched or not sufficient just like if you make a paper aeroplane badly the boomerang will also fall out of the air

Guy Fawkes of fantastic Mr Fawkes written by Roald Dhal did indeed try to blow up the English government seat. I belive Diwali is a celebration and festival of truth and light and is usually on the 15th day of the dark fortnight of the Hindu month of Ashwin, which is usually the month of October or November every year ,this year 2012 Diwali will be celebrated on 13th November next year 2013 it will be celebrated on 3rd November

--- ;) if the same bee got a ticket for the saturn 5 rocket would that also mean it could fly at 7 miles per second and escape earths' atnosphere, with a nod and wink we all know the bee can not the same applies to your car passenger bee, as bees do not live longer then 1 season even the typical queen bee will not live for more than 3-4 so make sure they are sitting on a riser seat and wearing a seat belt

I got my 44th gold box yesterday.. the most I have got in one days is four

---there are four possible answers to this: The heavist element can be given in terms of the number of atoms or its atomic weight this is ununoctium but this is man made, the heaviest naturally occuring element is uranium osmium and iridium are the heaviest elements in terms of mass per unit volume they are both approx twice as dense as lead there is no clear answer for which one has the greatest density

--diamond can be cleaved this is the process where they are cut for display in rings and other jewlery a person uses a "saw" made from phosphor-bronze fashioned into a blade which rotates at 15,000 rpm. Lasers can also be used to "saw" diaminds, but this process takes longer infact hours and hours, where as usuing the cleaver blade after an initial process take a single blow of a hammer

--lightning can indeed hit the same place twice if you go to the guinness book of records there is one person who has been hit 7-8 times by lightning. Lightning can also be induced scientists shot a wire up into a storm on a rocket when it hits the sweet spot lightning is discharged google induced lightning to watch a you tube unfortunately the quality is very poor but still spectacular

1. do you mean why do we get wrinkly, or do you mean why do we change over time? 2 . black holes have been observed they have some very unusual properties in that everything is drawn into a black hole except light and this is the lynch pin of cutting edge astro physics at the moment why is not light drawn into them we just don't know, this "reflectivity" of a black hole is called albedo libration it is thought that very close to the edge of a black hole very tiny particles of matter one + charged one - charged are created at the same time as they are attracted to each other they collide giving off a tiny amount of heat and light then they disappear. this light emission from a black hole is how we are able to observe them. It is also thought that the solid matter that gets drawn into a black hole becomes super condensed, and if you could take a sample the size of a normal match box it would weigh about the same as the planet earth 3.we don't know if black holes could be used for space travel I expect you would be crushed within pico seconds along with all the other matter, how ever it is thought that worm holes in time and space do exist but this goes into the realms of string theory and multiverse theory 4.well the universe is quite large the light generated from the big bang 13.7 billion years ago is still expanding and its also increasing in speed in its expansion so light travels at approximately 186,000 miles per second simple example 60x 60 x 24 gives us 86400 seconds in a day 86400 x 186,000 = 1.60704 to the power of 10 miles light could travel in 1 day assuming it did not bend around any planets stars ,if you would like to carry on with the calculation be my guest 5 computing is not my area i will ask one of my friends who designs super computers and get back to you 6 we have many replacements for oil at the moment the holy grail is nuclear fission but its requires incredible science to achieve it, in the mean time engines that run on water are already in existence and some boffins are manufacturing artificial petrol / gasoline, electric cars that run on photo voltaic cells have already crossed the whole of Australia 7 i assume this is a question about resources and quite simply our own population of the planet will become self regulating if we cannot feed everyone we know what that means and eventually no matter how many people are born a stable population will indeed prevale, for those that remain who knows what life will be like 8 China is already a super power if you mean will it eventually over take the USA for GDP ( Gross Domestic Product) then it is very likely yes 9 for ethical reasons I will not answer this question make up your own mind on that one as its a bear trap 10 if enough resources are poured into research many of the big illnesses will eventually have remedies I do not expect there will be a panacea but a number of things will bear down to eventually give us a final solution 11 virus are very cleaver organisms and the cold virus is no exception we know of about 60 virus which give "cold like" symptoms and they continually change and adapt to new situations so the out look does not look good for us and the common cold 12 As of August 2012 there have been 848 near earth asteriods larger than 1 km discovered but approximately 2000 objects hit the earth every year these can be ice rock and metals. This happens so often that cerimonial knives have been made from meteric iron these are called Keris Majapahit I have one at home which is 7 inches long and has a very slight green tinge to the iron it is almost 400 years old 13 see the latest Prof Hawkings books for this answer but essentially multi verse theory is very strong at the moment 14 Sentience can be somewhat over stated the illusion of true AI ( artifical inteligence) is very difficult to achieve. some types of robot can perform tasks such as the ASIMO robot can actually run but how was it developed, the brain for it ran billions of simulations over 4-5 years until it finally found the right match so that it didn't not just fall over like a drunk, it can be argued that it taught itself but I think we all know that self awareness is something completely different. Will a computer ever say "I think therefore I am" and know what it means I don't know. There is however some research being undertaken into bio computers which use living tissues to store information, weather these ever become wide spread or powerful or sentient or even self sustaining who know ... 15 we all know robots will rule the world didn't you watch terminator? 16 Quantum Physics thats a whole nother ball of wax the key is how do we merge the theories of the very large and the very small if we knew this we would be able to work out how gravity works near to a black hole. Quantum physics is just the study of the smallest particles in the universe and how they interact with each other... and if you wish a more detailed answer of which I am sure you are cable of finding apply for a phd in physics. :D while my answers are short you have posed some of the great unknown questions that are floating about today each question could have a myriad of doctorial thesis written on them

I run freezy on a viking and high value games for me are noise, Iran, gravity sandbox, massacre, bobsbroke in lowish games kungar is good for hornet freezy stay away from farm as hornet will just become popcorn... for clarification in the last 2 days I caught almost 3,000 crystals on these maps with minimal drugging too

---I am not sure what would happen to the diamond it really depends on the molar of the acid if it was 10 molar I am sure the diamond would just dissolve like if you drop a tooth in a well known brand of cola. Diamonds are not forever however if you heat them they burn, if you wish to see that there is a cool tube you can watch it if you just google burning diamonds

---the trade name for it is DDT it is a persistent organic pollutant and was commonly used to kill insects

--maybe he is confusing pre simmions with fully evolved primates...if you go back far enough we (humans) share 96% of the same DNA as a blade of grass thanks to the primordial gloop and photosynthathis of single celled animals and plants.. if you go back further we are made from carbon atom released from the big bang so we share the same billions of years old building blocks.. I guess time and relative dimentions in space are just that...relative

--sorry for confusion I was saying my answer was quoted from Douglas Adams the "42"

--my answer made the assumption that the object was falling at an even pace, if you bring in to the equation the object starts from rest is released then it falls you have to bring in acceleration and there fore the gradual increase in speed over that distance I am sure would mean it eventually would hit the ground at 15m/ps

the answer to life the universe and everything is quoted from "the hitch hikers guide to the universe" by Douglas Adams and is of course 42

the object is decending at 5 meters per second take the hight 20 then divide it by the time it took to fall this is 4 20/4 = 5 the ratio is given in meters per second so 5 mps distance / time = speed ratio

answer to no1 they both fall at the same rate as gravity acts upon the masses to the same degree, they would only fall at different rates if gravity was different. If you dropped the 5 kg mass on earth it would drop at its normal rate, if you then dropped the 10kg mass on the moon it would fall 6 times slower as gravity on the moon is 1/6th of that on earth answer no2 assuming you throw both balls with the same force, gravity and head wind do not take any part in the equation there is no differance to the speed they will travel. if you were to observe the balls the moment they were thrown it may appear one is moving faster then the other one due to a phenominon called paralax. this is similar to when you look out the window of a car you are traveling in, objects further away appear to go by slower then something closer to you

viscosity is how thick or dence something is typically a fluid, some are very liquid fluids such as water, to change it add some thing like flour. There are other very thick and viscous fluids like Glass it is actually a fluid not a solid, and to change its viscosity you would heat it ( if you look at very old glass windows they are always thicker at the bottom than the top because glass moves very very slowly and is acted upon by gravity over decades i hope that helps a little there are also other types of viscosity there is something called a non newtonian dilatant fluid if you make a very thick custard by using loads of corn starch to thicken it it is still runny and acts like a fluid if you made enough of this thick custard and filled a swimming pool with it it has a strange property that if you were to run very fast over it you would not sink, the harder your feet hit the custard the more force it " hits you back" and therefore supports your weight and you could run the full length of the pool and not sink to the bottom, the moment you stopped running you would swim with the fishes

just what was the name of Schrodingers' cat?

If you can answer this I will give you a nobel prize for science: How does gravity behave next to a black hole in space? As no one knows good luck people have been trying to theorise about this for 30 years and had no luck
