Why do people love retards on TV and movies, but hate them in real life?beacuse its entertaining in TV/movies and annoying in real life. Why is Superman such a pud?Well you dont live out in the boonies and turn out normal. If there were two-dimensional creatures, how would they be able to have a full digestive tract without being sliced completely in two?Well if there two-D then that would mean there different all together so there for they would be created with a full two-D digestive tract not a normal one like ours. Since the speed of light is relative to the initial starting velocity, if a lightsource was traveling at C velocity north and shined the light South, what would a stationary observer see?A straight line of light or a flashing ball, depending on the position of the stationary observer. Can you blow bubbles with your nose?Nope. Try to and failed lol How much money would someone have to pay you to shave your head?625 dollars. ![[biiiig grin]](images/icons/grin.gif)

Answers to Uschis many questions! Part 3How come my scanner light is always on?To tell you its plugged in. My does it too. What causes blue lightning?The magnitude of the voltage. Can I bum ten bucks off you?If I had it yes, but I dont so...no. Who was Hypatia from Alexandria?He was a Neo-Platonist philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer who lived and taught in Alexandria. Her prominence and adherence to pagan scholasticism led to her being murdered by a Christian mob. Cool huh.. How come part of Pythagoras' religion was not eating beans?Beacuse they believed that beans where not pure. Why did it take so long to invent the zero?Beacuse we had no need to cow-cue-late (lol) the number zero before. Also partly because there wasnt the idea of nothingness, one just didnt understand it. Do you have the joy, joy, joy, joy down in your heart?I am proud to say YES YES I DO! Do you laugh at Stephanie Pitlynski's jokes? What about Joe Cole?I laugh at everything. What's the most volcanically active satellite around Sol?Hmm I understand the question I just dont know what Sol is. I thought it was the Sun but that cant be right. Where is a galaxy far, far away?Its in a distant place very not near from here. Should I button that or leave it open?Leave it open, the guys will love it! Much more sexy.

Answers to Uschi's many questions! Part 1 What is the velocity and position of an electron in a hydrogen atom right in front of you RIGHT NOW?!it is located in the center! Heisenburgs Uncertainty Principal states that is impossible to know.If you farted in outerspace, would it change your trajectory?No, for you ware a spacesuit and that does not allow any other, um gases or propulsion to escape. Good point, but the force would still be exerted on the butt of the suit and change -albeit generally imperceptably- the trajectory. Newton.Is it natural to pee green?No. How come some dogs can be shaved down and grow hair back normally, but labs will get wirey hair if it gets cut?Just has to do with the breed and the way their genes are. Why do labrodor retrievers shed more next to the color opposite of their own?It only looks that way because certian colors show hairs more than others. Except some people actually measured. Labs are the only dogs that do it, but they shed more next to their opposite color.In Moonraker, when the guy is floating in space without a space suit, half in the sun - half shaded, does his blood boil or freeze?It should have stayed at a steady temp. His blood should have only risen slowly because hes in a medium tempture. Due to the hot and cold, like luke warm. Actually, half would be frozen, half would be boiling. Without atmosphere to scatter the light, the sun's energy would be absorbed by the half of the guy in the sunlight, and because the other half was not exposed, it would drop to 3 degrees Kelvin.What is the one physical impossability apparent in the movie Event Horizon?Havent seen it. The ship is said to be in a deep freeze, but when they show the stuff floating around inside, there's a waterbottle with water sloshing around in it.
Good film.

Really? Did you look that up? I was never quite sure. 'Cause wouldn't that mean the light was stationary relative to the stationary observer? Would they see no light? It's confused me for years...

Nope. Try to and failed lol

How come my scanner light is always on?
To tell you its plugged in. My does it too.
But it only does it sometimes. And when it isn't on, the scanner actually has to warm up the lamp. I think it might be addicted to electricity... I need to stage an intervention.
What causes blue lightning?
The magnitude of the voltage.
No, I mean how it's a big ball of blue electricity. Technically, nobody knows. My teacher studied lightning for his thesis ~five years ago and hasn't the foggiest clue.
Who was Hypatia from Alexandria?
She was a Neo-Platonist philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer who lived and taught in Alexandria. Her prominence and adherence to pagan scholasticism led to her being murdered by a Christian mob. Cool huh..
Isn't it though? Ever hear of Emmy Noether? (sp) She's goddam Batman! Einstein looked up to her.
How come part of Pythagoras' religion was not eating beans?
Beacuse they believed that beans where not pure.
Ok, second question: what bugged him about the square and what was his solution?
What's the most volcanically active satellite around Sol?
Hmm I understand the question I just dont know what Sol is. I thought it was the Sun but that cant be right.
Sol IS the sun, yes.
Should I button that or leave it open?
Leave it open, the guys will love it! Much more sexy.
Um... what button did you think I was refering to?

Did you look that up? I was never quite sure. 'Cause wouldn't that mean the light was stationary relative to the stationary observer? Would they see no light? It's confused me for years...Well no I didnt, I just thought about. I mean wouldnt it be almost the same as if you where looking at a passing comet or meteor? From the way I see it one object can only be stationary for a period at a time because we are all moveing. So if say BOB was stationary then the light would not be and visa versa. It also has to depend on where BOB is. BOB could even be in a possition where he cant see it at all for a period of time. If BOB was say in a possition where the thing was coming at him then he would see the ball of light. And then if BOB was say to the side of the thing then he would see the streak. Kinda like if some one where to throw a ball at the same place, and you where to change your possition and be stationary when the ball come flying by you would see it three different angels.... I think. ![[eh?]](images/icons/confused.gif) Can you blow bubbles with your nose?Nope. Try to and failed lolNot even underwater?lol, I wasnt thinking that way! Yeah I can underwater lol How come my scanner light is always on?To tell you its plugged in. My does it too.But it only does it sometimes. And when it isn't on, the scanner actually has to warm up the lamp. I think it might be addicted to electricity... I need to stage an intervention.Hmmm, even when you unplug the scanner? Or it might be becuase the light might be going, like shorting out. What causes blue lightning?The magnitude of the voltage.No, I mean how it's a big ball of blue electricity. Technically, nobody knows. My teacher studied lightning for his thesis ~five years ago and hasn't the foggiest clue.Oh, oh okay! huh dunno that but I have an idea about the blue part. Isint like blue flame.. Blue flame is caused by the intensity of the heat. Its so hot that it turns blue-ish white. I'm sure it has something to do with that. As for the ball of electricity.. I dunno, I had a fire ball go through my house once but thats a bit different. Isn't it though? Ever hear of Emmy Noether? (sp) She's goddam Batman! Einstein looked up to her.No I havent! Wow Ill have to look her up! I'll try to get to the other questions. Theres only so much time in my internet day lol! wish there was more. Anywho heres one for you! How long did it take for you to think up all these questions?

Come to think of it, maybe you can answer a question I posted on another thread that so far no one seems to answer...I'll skip the story here and just ask you... What unknown force causes a guy to completely turn his hife inside out for one woman, as if to be in a romance novel?
Its called love my dear.
Love makes one do strange things like that.
Sounds believable. I'm running short of that and have to be careful who I give it to. I just hope she understands.

I'm not so sure. See, the stationary observer is, in this scenerio, stationary to the system. Thus the other fellow is moving at C away from him. So the light would have zero velocity in relationship with the observer. Because 9.8m/sec^2 (or whatever... not thinking right now) minus 9.8m/sec^2 = zero. So the light would be stationary, just like the observer. And, since light has to travel to reach our eyes and be observed, no light would be captured by the observer's eyes and he'd see nothing. It'd be like going as fast as the speed of light. All you'd be able to see is the lightwaves in front of you 'cause you'd be running into them. Or, I think so. Haven't read up much on the Special theory of relativity yet. Good with General, BAD with special.
Hmm. I'm still confused. Tell you what: I'll e-mail one of my physics professors. See what we can see.
As for how long it took to think up the questions, er... however long it took to type them. I know a lot of things that are fun to ask about and I have a lot of questions I want answers to. Half the time I was trying to show off. ![[gulp!]](gulp.gif)

Yeah, you do that, email him then let me know okay. thanks :)

Hi Ashley:
The speed of light is INDEPENDENT of the reference frame. This is a really strange concept !! It means that the speed of light does NOT depend on the speed of the flashlight that produces it. It means that ALL observers, no matter how quickly or in what direction they are travelling, will measure the speed of light to be the same constant value !!
(Recall that we discussed the Doppler effect which says that the wavelength of the light changes depending on what the observer and source are doing - but the SPEED is constant.)

Hi, Dr.Christensen. Could I bother you with a small question? It's been on my mind for a while, and I don't really get the special relativity theory.
The speed of light is relative to the initial starting velocity, right? So, if a lightsource was traveling at C velocity due north and shined the light due south, what would a stationary observer to the south see, looking north?
And wouldn't that observer then be traveling at the speed of light?
I appreciate it if you can answer. Thanks for your time.

We were both saying fuck nothing. I started us out with 'since the speed of light is relative...'
Sorry. There was nowhere to go but circles. The observer would see the light as normal. Only moving further away every instant.

Answers to Uschis many questions! Part 4Who shot JFK? Weell some believe that it was a CIA agent, some think it was the Mafia, but the history books will tell you it was Lee Harvey Oswald. Why does the sun shine? because its a big ball of flaming gasHow long does it take for light from the sun to reach earth? The distance from the Earth to the Sun varies because the Earths orbit about the Sun is elliptical. At its closest, the distance is 91,402,000 miles and its farthest distance it is 94,512,000 miles. This gives an average distance of 92,957,000 miles. Light travels at 186,282 miles per second. Dividing the average distance by the speed of light gives 499.01225 seconds which is 8.3168708 minutes.
Rounded off, lets say around 8 minutes and 18 seconds.How long does it take for light from the sun's core to reach the photosphere? A few minutes... When will the Earth's magnetic pole flip again? in hundreds of millions of years.If you could fly under your own power, would you still take the train to work? No, I wouldnt.Can a person be burned by a static electricity shock? Yeppers, you can! If the static is charged enough yep. You can also start fires with it too.Do you take the tag off your matress? no, unless its about to come off anyway.If you shouldn't use electronics in the bathroom, why do they put plugs there? Its not that you shouldnt use them in the bathroom cause you can, its that you shouldnt use them near water. Besides its easier to use the hairdryer in there and the curling iron.

Answers to Uschis many questions! Part 5Why does the same company put the same flyer on my windshield every day at work? theey like you...Why don't they go to a different parking lot? Are they really that dumb? yes, yes they are.What is it they put in girl scout cookies that make them so irresistable and addicting? crack.How does Subway make fat people thin? Did Jared make a pact with the devil? Through good advertising, and tasty meals.Why can't someone come up with an interesting car commercial? because they focus more on glammer, rather than practicality.

Why does the sun shine? because its a big ball of flaming gasNope. The sun is not flaming. It is not on fire one bit. The sun is a mass of incandescent gas. The gas has so much energy that the light waves it produces are in the visiable spectrum. (Fun Fact: people give off light. In fact, EVERYTHING with ANY amount of energy emits light. People light is in the infrared.)How long does it take for light from the sun's core to reach the photosphere? A few minutes... Try a few million to one billion years. (damn that sounds stupid. i forgot, exactly, and don't feel like looking it up again.) Neat, huh? The light, as energy, gets bounced around inside the various layers of the sun for lifetimes. eons. millenia. When will the Earth's magnetic pole flip again? in hundreds of millions of years.Within the next few dozen thou. It's about to go. It's happened many times before. First the magnetic axis gets wobbly, then it splits into, say, five individual axis', then they move until they converge at the other end. Takes about a few hundred years, I think.
