if our galaxy was shrunk we would not notice would we? we'd be shrunk too so is this a trick question? |

Superstring? Man i'm a geek. |

For God's sake don't leave us hanging! What's the answer??? |
||||||||
|

ahha.. sorry im back now: i think it was something like a grape fruit or orange or something.. but remember, thats if: our galaxy was the size of our earth ..then the entire solar system would be an orange (i dont know what that would make the earth.. REALLY small for sure:)) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i really think it would be smaller then a atom then, an orange'd be way to big |

anyone know how many dimples are on a golf ball? |
||||||||
|
|

|

is that a quiz question, i mean do i win when i know that? |

Heres a good question. How come everyone who works in a guitar/music store is a neverhasbeen guitar hero with a chip on their shoulder and not the slightest clue about a single thing they sell? These traits almost seem to be prerequisites for getting a job in one of these shops. |

Most golf balls today have around 400 of dimples. No proze...just the satisfaction of learning something new today.... |

The dimples of it makes the ball fly faster! |

Oh its also helpful to have a mullet left over from 1986 and bleached jeans so tight they give your religion away. maybe its the uncomphortable jeans that makes them sour. Alas we will never know... |

yeah, it's not a fixed number, recently some scientists patented a ball with half as many dimples, so that reduces the average. i knew a guy that was working at a guitar shop and got really big with his band in holland, but he didn't work there for long afterwards, out of the rest i know one guy that's nice for 10 jerks, that's one of the reasons i just can't seem to get my gear together |

when I first got into making music on the computer I went into a music store and I was like "can you tell me what I need to get started? I dont know much about this stuff" and the guys like "what are you using now?" and im like "well I have a demo copy of ACID, but I want to get into it more, what should I get?" and hes like "thats all you need" , and he walks away. I went backa year later to get something from the same place once I knew what the hell I was talking about and the guy didnt have a clue about any of the products he was selling and he was head of Pro Audio!, I fucking screamed at him, now I have ot get my brother to go in to get stuff for me from that store heheh. |

how about this one: Why do leaves sink in the snow? |
||||||||
|
|

|
Gravity! |

The leaf and the snow around it get the same amount of sunlight, but the white snow reflects more than the darker leaf does (the scientific word for this is "albedo" - the snow has a higher albedo). Since the leaf absorbs or keeps more of the light, it gets warmer than the snow around and under it. That is why the snow around the leaf melts faster than snow further away from the leaf. As the snow under the leaf melts, gravity pulls the leaf down and keeps the leaf close to the snow, so the melting continues..... Thank you Thank you.....pointless information to feed your brain rules!!! |

thats cool actually. I didnt know that. Good facts man ! :) |

it's mirracle thoug that he didn't let you buy just some expensive stuff, besides my guitar stuff that i've got to buy, i wanny get a electric piano keyboard and stuff like pro-tools, i've got a friend who's willing to download all the software i need for a small price (it's more of an aquintant that has to urn back his cable internet) but he even couldn't find protools for mac, for pro tools you need a expensive interface anyway, maybe i'd like to have qbase, the drummer of my band got a sampler, it's ironic because i'm supposed to be the electronic man, still thinking of a guitar synth as well, i've once written a letter to digitech for an endorsement deal, with this cd from my band with it, never heard of them since, also pod sucks |

well that's not too interesting, i really have to go to university more often, this stuff costs me |

Ok....one more.....=) Does the distance a nerve impulse travels, affect the speed of reaction? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I would recommend getting logic and a bunch of soft synths. Cubase is what I use, but I wish I had chosen logic, Its just different and not really better, but logic has some wicked features cubase lacks. You need serious hardware for protools to make any sense, and the music isnt any better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for most reaction i think it does, but not for the reflexes (the thing that tested on your knee) that doesn't go all the way to your brain |

The speed an action potential travels is known as the conduction velocity and this is determined by the diameter of the axon (larger axons conduct faster), and whether or not the axon is myelinated (surrounded by insulation called myelin sheaths - insulated axons conduct faster). Conduction velocity is important because the faster a fibre conducts the quicker the brain receives the signal and the faster it can react to the information. Action potentials are conducted at speeds between 0.5 and 120 metres per second (m/s) and different fibres conduct different types of signals at different speeds. For example, pain is conducted via Ad- fibres at 25m/s and C-fibres at 0.5m/s. Thus a pain stimulus travelling from your fingertip to your spinal cord along a C-fibre, a distance of 1 metre, will take 2 seconds to make the journey. Pain travelling along a Ad-fibre will take mere milliseconds. You can feel this difference in speed between Ad and C-fibre pain conduction. Say you burn your foot, the immediate shooting pain you feel is conducted by the fast Ad-fibres and the dull throbbing pain that follows about 2 or 3 seconds later is the C-fibre conduction! Touch is transmitted by very very fast Ab and Aa fibres at conduction velocities between 35 and 120m/s. So to answer your question, the distance traveled along a nerve matters not so much as the type of stimulus you are using. Most fibres conduct so fast that if you stimulated the tip of your toe or the tip of your nose you wouldn't be able to sense the time difference (it would be in the order of milliseconds) so you couldn't possibly react faster. ok, I am done....this IS a great topic though |

thanks, i'll remember about logic, what are softsynths exactly? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

synthesizers/samplers/drummachines that use your computers processor. They dont rely on any hardware other than the computer and you play them with a cheap midi controller keyboard. Look up Absynth, Reaktor, Battery, and FM7. Hardware synths and samplers are going to be extinct before too long. Check it out anyway its interesting. |

first of all ironlung: you answered your own question, you funny little man, second: i think i had a point too, i thought i'd learned in biology-class that the burning reaction comes immidiatly from the first nerve centre at the joint, and the sensing of it lasts longer because afterwords the signal still has to travel to the mind, or am i talking about outdated insights |

ahhhh...either way, it sounded good.... I did not mean to contradict myself.... my bad.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's what i meant to get, only i want a expensive midi controlling keyboard to get the piano feel, because i really want to play piano again |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it are just different views to it ironlung, i think we both deserve points, maybe me a bit more because it wasnt my own question, then again: i admit i looked up the golfball answers on some internetsites |

Ok you people whant physics questions ok you got´em: Q: What´s a black hole? |

that's just too easy |

a hole thats black..? |

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
a black woman's pussy? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Damn right on there its indeed a hole thats black! Gotta look into my old school books for some hard ones (or my Cosmos by Sagan) Mr_Flappypants congratulations. |

an anamoly is a strange thing that randomly happens, and is not expected. Now, what is a superstring? |

Heres the answser: Think of a guitar string that has been tuned by stretching the string under tension across the guitar. Depending on how the string is plucked and how much tension is in the string, different musical notes will be created by the string. These musical notes could be said to be excitation modes of that guitar string under tension. In a similar manner, in string theory, the elementary particles we observe in particle accelerators could be thought of as the "musical notes" or excitation modes of elementary strings. In string theory, as in guitar playing, the string must be stretched under tension in order to become excited. However, the strings in string theory are floating in spacetime, they aren't tied down to a guitar. Nonetheless, they have tension. The string tension in string theory is denoted by the quantity 1/(2 p a'), where a' is pronounced "alpha prime"and is equal to the square of the string length scale. If string theory is to be a theory of quantum gravity, then the average size of a string should be somewhere near the length scale of quantum gravity, called the Planck length, which is about 10-33 centimeters, or about a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a centimeter. Unfortunately, this means that strings are way too small to see by current or expected particle physics technology (or financing!!) and so string theorists must devise more clever methods to test the theory than just looking for little strings in particle experiments. String theories are classified according to whether or not the strings are required to be closed loops, and whether or not the particle spectrum includes fermions. In order to include fermions in string theory, there must be a special kind of symmetry called supersymmetry, which means for every boson (particle that transmits a force) there is a corresponding fermion (particle that makes up matter). So supersymmetry relates the particles that transmit forces to the particles that make up matter. Supersymmetric par |

They were going to build the SCC in texas, to be able to probe the planck length, but congress thought it would be a waste of money to see how the entire universe functions. So that means there are 26 dimensions squished up in the planck length. |
