While we burn fossil fuels we are causing harm, with nuclear power it is possible to not damage the environment if its handled properly. Half...
i havent read Hyperspace in a long time but im guessing thats talking about how stars work.
it works when its done properly, scientific method is fairly good but only as good as the integrity its carried out with.
The Earths atmosphere is pretty transparent to visible and near UV (and getting more transparent to deep UV :( ), the range in solar panels...
Id spend it on high energy physics. Though being selfless I really think we should spend that money on energy research, we arent going to get to...
civ 4 is harder to play than civ 3. I always liked detailed civ games but civ 4 really does take a long time to play, there is so much under your...
I would have to agree with semiconductors at this moment. But given that superconductors and quantum coherence based devices are currently in...
Its handy in situations when you are talking about matter/anti-matter interactions, I just feel it causes a lot of misconceptions amount the...
A drop of what anti-matter? Anti-matter will interact with its partner particle to create two gamma rays, which I guess could potentially make...
When I talk about a lot of energy its important to take scale into account. These huge devices work at energies of hundreds Gev, which is still a...
I know what is CERN is ive been there, and would like to go again for a long time after '07 and yes it does take a lot of energy but ive explained...
Huge amounts of energy are not required to generate positrons, they occur quite naturally in beta+ radioactive decay. In school 3 types of...
I dont really know if its making matter from nothing all quantities are conserved. Saying you make something from nothing implies that there is...
The positron was first suggested to exist in 1928 by Paul Dirac after solvng the Dirac eqn, it was discovered in 1932 by Carl Anderson, this was...
Yes. this is usually due to stars being ejected from galaxies. I do not know of nebulae (star forming regions) outside of galaxies, but there...
The big bang has not been created exactly but periods of time up to about 10^(-44)s after the big bang have, even here things are uncertain as...
Yeah with that money ITER could have been built and then some.
Nucler power isnt a good long term solution even forgetting safety because Uranium just isnt that abundant but it may buy enough time allow some...
sometimes the battery sensor just gets it wrong, mine does from time to time probably indicates an obscure bug in the phones OS. There are more...
Grid electricity is AC (in Europe at least though I cant imagine anyone would use DC for transmitting high voltages). Most applicances convert...
Separate names with a comma.
