    Hurricane size whirlpool on the Sun

    I wonder if the whirlpool that was recently discovered on the sun effects our weather on earth. http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn14878-hurricanesized-whirlpools-spotted-on-the-sun.html

    Tunnel Questions: Level Travel & Salt Table Games

    suppose i constructed a highway from the atlantic coast to the gulf of mexico with its finish grade at sea level . suppose instead I dug a tunnel in a straight line. which one would be considered level . and if I dug the tunnel so that it resembled a skateboard ramp could the momentum built...

    Moon Preservation: What if a Spaceshuttle or Missile Hit It?

    Does anybody have an idea what happens when a 50 megaton bomb explodes in a vacuum, besides the fact that it would be silent?

    Moon Preservation: What if a Spaceshuttle or Missile Hit It?

    If a spaceshuttle collided with the moon what would happen? What if a missile hit it? If I am not mistaken the distance between our Earth and the moon varies, so let's say the impact occurs when the moon's position is at its farthest normal distance from earth.

    Law of Conservation of Mass: Big Bombs & Earth

    Okay let's pretend your bomb can blow up earth, and you are safe some where other than Earth when the bomb explodes. And Earth is shattered into bits and pieces. Your bomb is no match for Earth's gravity. Earth would just form back together. Of course it would be dramaticly altered, but indeed...

    Relativity Stumper for you Einsteins

    The wave-particle dualism of light is an example of a problem in science that has no simple solution. Maybe in the future, a simpler explanation for the properties of light will be found. In the meantime, the idea of a dual concept is not unreasonable in view of our present knowledge...

    What happens to atoms when they enter a black hole?

    I was wondering which has more mass The Milky Way or the supermassive black hole at the center. And I was wondering if our sun was sucked in and suppose you could measure the size it would be reduced to after going in how big would it be. I guess what I really want to know is what happens to...

    Launch a Marker Lid: Exploring the Physics of Flight

    If you press your first three fingers evenly across a Crayola brand marker lid as hard as you can on a smooth surface, you can make it fly all the way across the room. I was wondering what causes it to take flight. I'm pretty sure its rotation has something to do with the way it floats through...

    Solving the Singularity Problem: Uncovering the Smallest Particles

    I'm trying to figure out how scientists concluded that all matter in the universe was compressed to the size of something smaller than an atom. If that's true than I think the there has to be undiscovered particles several folds smaller that the smallest known particle today. Particles so small...

    Revolutionary Nano Gears: The Potential of Megaten Speed Bicycles

    Suppose that it was possible to construct gears smaller than ones of modern ten speed bicycles(nano gears) and suppose your chain or belt could turn them and withstand the friction. First gear of course would be the same as a modern ten speed in order to get it moving. If the last gear's radius...

    How high could you jump on a trampoline with increasing tension?

    suppose you had a trampoline that you could increase the tension in between jumps so that every time you landed. (and there is plenty of room between the surface and the ground) what would happen .what if someone double jumps then two people etc.. would your jump height keep increasing
