I'm planning to enter the Daily Telegraph / Bayer Science Writer
competition (see www.science-writer.co.uk) Ages 14-19, and, seeing as
Physics is my strongest science, I was wondering if you could suggest
a topic. It needs to be complicated enough to impress them (and my

<p>My name is Kurt Brown, alias Saint Ram Bone, and unlike some of you cops, I have a doctorate level education and I am trained almost every field imaginable and my education was funed by what I call the counter revolutionaries in these damned United States.  I am humane, many ...

John Stachel: "The idea that a light beam consisted of a stream of
particles had been espoused by Newton and maintained its popularity
into the middle of the 19th century. It was called the "emission

It is oscillating at the speed of light. It is moving at the speed of
light. It is the fastest clock in an uncontracted metric. It is Gamma
One.

There are three basic symmetries in nature: Parity, Electric charge,
and Time. In an universe made of anti-matter, the electric charge is
reversed and positive charges are swapped with negatives. So in this
anti-universe, physical laws are the same but inverted. Their

1964. Irwin Shapiro, it seems, was the first to make use of a

There is no asymptotic freedom since protons and neutrons are point
particles. The quarks are always sitting on top of each other.

I just read the Science News article, "Shadow World" (Nov.17, 2007, vol.172,
pp.315-317). It briefly describes both the work of Maldacena and of some
recent applications of his ideas relating black holes to particle physics
and superconductivity. If there is a good, technical survey ...

Someone should invent "residential pyrolysis gasifiers combined with
personal computer".
The cpu surface should be hot enough? Better yet combined that with a
fridge too. (laser cooling)

On my freshman year physics exam was this problem:
A bowling ball is sent down an alley with an initial velocity of v0.
When it first starts to roll without slipping, it has a velocity of
v1. The question: what fraction is v1 of v0? For this problem, assume

I want to thank everyone who replied to my "bowling ball" post. On
that same freshman exam was this problem: a marble sits atop a larger
sphere of radius r. The marble starts falling off and when it loses
contact with the sphere, it has fallen a vertical distance h. The
