Do you think man will ever be able to successfully navigate a Black hole?

Answers: 13 Views: 2692 Rating: 5 Posted: 13 years ago

This is common misconception... A "black hole" is not a real "hole," but a single point (a singularity) of ultimate density and gravity. It looks and acts like a hole because this are sucked toward it and spiral toward it, but they end up at this infinitely small point of unimaginable gravity. Other than being destroyed by the gravity (spagettification - where something is pulled apart over and over again), no ones know what if any else could occur. So, you less go "into" a black hole than "become a part of" as that single point in the center. This could potentially lead to worm hole and other odd things, but the conventional wisdom now is just good old complete destruction... And then there is the problem of getting to a black hole - which would take a couple hundred thousand years with any current technology - which kind of defeats the purpose.

what is the solubility of oil and water

Answers: 8 Views: 2457 Rating: 0 Posted: 13 years ago

Oil and water are mixed all the time - often to make the product you use everyday. "Melandrupert" is basically correct because when they are mixed an emulsion is created. To do this, you need and emulsifer, whose actual chemical name is a surfactant. Surfactants are two-ended molecules that grab onto different chemical substance that normally 'bounce" off of each other. By using the correct surfactant and the right mixing technique you can get the oil and water to mix. You can make an oil in water emulsion - where small oil droplets, coated with surfactant, end up floating around in the water, or a water in oil emulsion, which is just the opposite. A simple example is soap. It is a surfactant and works because it coats dirts and makes it compatible with water - which then washes it away. Water would bounce off the dirt with out the surfactant - it forms a very quick and simple emulsion, and washes away. And believe me, you probably come in contact with and use emulsions all day long and don't even realize it. MANY daily products and food are based on emulsion and surfactant technology.

with all this rain and flooding in the mid-west, why can't we take some of the water out of the rivers put it into tanker cars and use trains to bring it down to the areas of the wild fires. it might help solve two problems

Answers: 2 Views: 246 Rating: 0 Posted: 12 years ago

Cost and the fact you could never transport enough water to do the job (on either end - bringing enough to make a difference or taking enough to make a difference). It would cost WAY more than any benefit that could be achieved. It is not that they do not have enough water where it is needed, it is getting it to the remote fires and having it do any good in the desert environment. Besides, they have chemical retardants that are more effective than water, and physical ways of fighting the fire. Bringing water from as far away as the midwest is just not physically, economically, or logistically possible, nor would it really do any good.

Big Foot, Skunk Ape, Abdomible Snow Man, why are there so many sighting?

Answers: 8 Views: 2712 Rating: 5 Posted: 13 years ago

There are sightings because it is out there. And yes, it is possible that there are species out there that haven't been discovered. It happens everyday and history is riddled with rumored creatures - and those thought extinct - being discovered. Of course there are hoaxers and miss-identifications, but the evidence is pretty hard to ignore.

When is Megan Kelly going to return to "America Live" on Fox news?

Answers: 1 Views: 534 Rating: 1 Posted: 12 years ago

Nothing has been announced, but she will be back when she is good and ready. Let her enjoy the new child as long as she wants. I will miss her too, but she deserves and should take as much time as she feels she needs. I am sure she is not hurting for money, and her priorities just might change.

How do I recieve and send a fax on my laptop computer

Answers: 2 Views: 254 Rating: 0 Posted: 12 years ago

Connect a phone line to your computer - if it has a telephone jack. If it doesn't, you are screwed, but if it does you should have or be able to find software that will send and receive faxes. It is out there, but again your computer must have an internal modem and a phone line jack before you can do anything.

Do you believe television?

Answers: 15 Views: 635 Rating: 4 Posted: 12 years ago

Yes! It actually exists! I will bet most people here would agree on that.

As for what comes out of it; some yes and some no. Just like the internet. Remember: there is no such thing as objective or unbiased. Think for yourself. Anyone anywhere who says anything is influenced by their personal experiences or opinions - no matter how unbiased or smart they claim to be.

Is flirting texts considered cheating if they have been hidden from other person of the couple

Answers: 5 Views: 558 Rating: 1 Posted: 12 years ago

What do you think? Anytime someone is hiding something there is a reason. I would call it deception that could lead to cheating, but I am not you and what I think does not matter. If it bothers you, confront it and do something about it. There is no standard definition of cheating that you can refer to (thank you, Mr. Clinton for that clarification), other than catching people in the act (and even then some people will try to deny it) - that is up to you and your significant other. If you "consider" it cheating then it is.

What policies would you recommend to these countries, assuming their desire to achieve a sustainable society?

Answers: 6 Views: 7304 Rating: 0 Posted: 13 years ago

Which countries, and to which type of policies do you refer? Economic, law, taxes, social programs, etc.? There are MANY options and all usually depend on the prevailing political philosophy of the people and/or leaders - and that countries individual needs and situation. Law and order usually comes first, so hopefully all citizens are treated fairly and the same - and there is recourse for wrongdoing. Then should come some sort of economic development to create jobs, wealth, and a tax base for which to run the basic services of the government. From there it is wide open depending on what your definition of a "sustainable society" is... Hopefully though, it is based on freedom and individual rights, and not having one person or group hold too much power over others (democracy, etc.). Is this a test question you are trying to answer or something like that? The question is way to broad to answer in specifics, but good luck and keep asking questions. The answers are almost never absolute or universal, since the particular countries factors and specific goals are not defined. And people never agree on the solutions. Welcome to politics!

I just heard on Fox that Speculaters are Driving up our Oil and Gas Prices. Does onyone know who they are?

Answers: 11 Views: 1647 Rating: 11 Posted: 13 years ago

Oil is a commodity, which means the price fluctuates due to supple and demand. Even perception affects this, since an unstable government in an oil producing country COULD affect oil supply - even if it does not - still can make the price go up. Speculators make their money betting on pricing going up or down. They "bet" on future prices by buying contracts on future oil production, and selling them for a profit when supply is threatened. They do drive up prices in some cases, but there is not much we can do about it - it is part of and happens in almost all commodity markets. You could go out and buy your own oil futures, but who has the money for that - and then YOU would be a speculator...

why is this when my doctor gives me pills why do i forget to take them?

Answers: 8 Views: 597 Rating: 1 Posted: 12 years ago

If your pills are for blood sugar, that could be your answer. If your blood sugar is out of whack, it can cause all sorts of mental issues - including confusion and forgetfulness. There are plenty of stories about people acting completely out of it and irrational, all due to blood sugar irregularities or simply forgetting to take medication. This can be very serious - for you and your kid's safety, PLEASE find a way to take your meds regularly. Sticky notes can work wonders!
