Actually octane (the main component of gasoline) is a small portion of crude oil. Most of the worlds octane comes from cracking heavier fuels and oils. If we didn't have to crack the heavy oils there would be more available for asphalt and lubricants. And we could crack the lighter fuels like octane and heptane to make more 2 or 3 carbon molecules for making plastics, vinyls, propylenes...It all sounds like a great idea to me.....but I will believe it when I see a car actually run on thorium...... and we see an end to global terrorism so we won't have to worry about dirty bombs..... and we see governments warm to the idea of individuals having concentrated radioactive material in their possession...... and we see a plan to deal with the radioactive daughter products which have a combined half life of almost 8 years and the left over thorium which has a half life of billions of years......
INAEB (I'm not an expert, but...) Your battery discharged while e is high may discharge more energy (shiver at the thought), but can you actually do more with that energy? If that battery is in a flashlight it now has to work against a higher e value to emit photons, in the end you may well end up emitting the same number of photons with the same wavelength, resulting in the same net change in entropy as if you had used your batteries while e was still small.
I agree. In QCD quarks and gluons can undergo colour changes, this would be "chameleon-like behavior". Neutrinos on the other hand change flavour, this would be "Willy Wonka like behavior".
In my lucid dreams I can't feel water in my mouth while drinking. Now I have a drink every time I get out of bed, if I don't feel the water in my mouth I know I am dreaming and I can take over my dream from there. Unfortunately, so far, I don't seem to be able to allow myself to break the laws of physics in my dreams, I can't fly or any other cool superhuman stuff that I want to do in my dreams. They tend to be terribly life like (boring). I also have difficulty breaking my own moral compass in my dreams, when I get close to doing so I wake up, this can be a particularly frustrating limitation.
So just to clarify, the number of possibilities that Twitter has is approximately 1.0160469088 tonne, or 35.71 bushels (corn), or equivalent to the weight of 5555.5 wamprats, like a small car.
If you RTFA there is nothing new here. In fact this is more of an advertisement for some wackjob organization called Goldilocks Mission. "The Goldilocks Mission is sending an open invitation to men and women around the globe between 18 and 34 years of age, healthy in every way and in top physical and psychological condition, and who have read the book, GOLDILOCKS MISSION: Man’s Next Migration." They are looking for "Skydets" who will live in a "Space Center" "in a corner of Southwestern New Mexico" to research humanities next migration to the stars. It has the feel of a new cult.
If it has 6.6 times the mass and one third the density then the volume is 19.8 times greater and the radius is 2.7 times greater. As I stated in my post if the planets radius is 2.5 to 2.7 times greater (for a mass 5 to 7.5 times earth's mass respectively) then one would not weigh more there. I took the density into account origninally, but thanks for confirming my figures Syd.
It turns out I would only weigh 200X0.902 = 180 lbs (by combining Newton's law of gravity with the equation for density in a proportionality statement you get Fg is proportional to 6.6/cuberoot(6.6/(1/3))squared = 0.902). I would then fall into the "healthy" range for BMI, so as soon as the first interstellar space ship is built sign me up Scotty.
And in reply to the AC, WHO says "Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple index of weight-for-height". Though they say mass, they use weight to calculate it.
Aren't you being pedantic by saying that you hate to be pedantic. And then by continuing in your sentance to be pedantic you are now culpable of pedantism squared. You sir commit pedantary redundantly.
A more massive Earth is no good, if I go there I will be hundreds of pounds (unless the planet's radii are more then 2.5 and 2.7 times greater then Earths). I want a smaller Earth to visit so my BMI calculation will no longer show me to be obese. Let me know when you find something with about 0.8 of Earths gravity.
I lepton the chance to be the FIRST POST!!!!!. and got so charged up about it I got a large hadron. I am still a little fermion. fortunately no black holes were involved, Unfortunately I miss gauged and some braneless boson beat me to the first post. so I had to gluon my post here, The insensitive clod who beat me was probably from the future and came back in time just to ruin my post, I do not for one welcome this new overlord from the future, The positive side of all this negativity is that having his post on top and mine on the bottom does have a quarky strange charm to it (like a flex fuel car’s superposition of states), At the risk of creating a messon this post (like a bird bombings and baguettes) and having it spin out of control I shall anti up. collapse my own wave function and walk myself off the Planck [through a displacement of 1,2 m (0,24 rods. or about 15 wamprats)] before the beams cross and swine flu mutates into ebola on Dec 21st 2012,

Canada = Overseas? I know the USA education system has myopic geography but putting an ocean between Canada and the USA......wow.
In Soviet Russia the nuclear reactor Hey Easy's you.
Drive away for 12 hours. Stop. Turn around Return to start point. 1.5 ns.
If you spend 24 hrs driving at 125 mph you will experience a time dilation of 1.5 ns.

In Soviet Russia Chuck Norris raptures you.
I'm on my couch.
I beat it to the first post. Take that stamp.
Perhaps he was fired for owning a Segway not for charging it. This may be a case of ginger discrimination, like "kick a Segway day".

I live in Canada. Our current weather forecast is for an inch of snow tomorrow (May 28th). Boo.
I say we donate Uranus.

There is no word yet on when humans returned to the muck and devolved into the slithering parasites that became known as lawyers.

The methane is believed to come from geological processes and not from life.

on the scale of Ig Nobel to Nobel this is far more Ig Nobel. thisisidle idleispants
Some water would be nice too.
With a Beowulf cluster of memes already used I was afraid natalie portman's hot grits would make my post too memeingfull.

So it would indeed fit inside a baseball, if the baseball had a hollow spot inside it that was 5cm long (and the right width and height too).
