Re: Conversations About Science and Physics

Here is one of my favorite books on the universe topic.
Just Six Numbers: The Deep Forces That Shape the Universe - Martin Rees - Google Books

I've heard of that and been meaning to read it. Along with dozens of other books that I have to keep adding...

Here is a quirky read on Nikola Tesla. Elon Musk agreed to help out as well.

Another book by Simon Singh that I highly recommend. It is about solving Fermat's last theorem.

Since we are in the internet age and familiar with the perils of hacking and identity theft I recommend this read.

Anyone knows about glycolysis , glucokinase , hexokinase , insulin anything about biochemistry ? I need to ask something

Yeah can you explain the silliness that is the anti-vax movement... Not that I need convincing I just like people who know ripping their arguments to shreds.

Okay , those guys are LITERALLY crazy !!! I mean they say that vaccines might kill someone or cause them disease , but hey it is better to face the weak kind of illness than to deal with the disease itself which might kill!!

It would be awesome if some developer could make a windows universal app like this: The Scale of the Universe 2

I am extremely ignorant on all those.

I can tell you when I was like 14-15 years old, I had a friend who was diabetic and had to inject himself with insulin everyday. One day we looked at insulin under a microscope and saw hundreds of small rods. We figured the small rods probably pricked cells so they would absorb sugar. We also figured the small rods could possible block small capillaries and thought maybe that is what causes vision problems and foot circulation problems in diabetics. That's what we thought back then, but I really have no idea if there is any truth to what we thought back then.

That's out of my league. I'm an enthusiast and have general good knowledge but finite details are not area.

Extremism is synonymous with insanity. Both are wholly counterproductive and only achieve discord between people.

How about high frequency radio emissions transmitted at RMS striking metallic surfaces.
They aren't merely reflected they are retransmitted back to any receiver tuned to detect and decode that particular frequency.

Speaking of high frequency energy.... All of this Tesla talk put me in the mood to drag out my Tesla Coil for my kiddos to see. Once I get it dusted off, I'll try to post some pictures of it in action.

Re: Conversations About Science and Physics

And I know it's not the prettiest, but it's the first one I've ever built. lol

Re: Conversations About Science and Physics

Anyone ever been to the Institute of Technology in Boston?

We went a number of years ago and were able to sit thru the wonders of electricity in there.
There's 2 very large Tesla coils in there that put on one heck of an impressive display.
Whole thing was pretty spectacular.

I've never seen those, but there is a large one south of me in Hot Springs, Arkansas, that puts on a nice display as well. I am fascinated by them.

Biochemistry and molecular biology were two subjects I hated. I only studied enough to get passing grades and then promptly forgot anything I might have learnt.

Bless those "Ancient Aliens" for the Discovery channel, PBS, TLC and Eric Von Daniken!!

Hey Hey HEY!
Ancient Aliens is more in line with my thread:
http://forums.windowscentral.com/off-topic-lounge/266428-rethinking-history.html

Lets keep this thread pure science. Ultimately, I hope there are cross conversations between the two threads as new discoveries are made (that aren't all due to Alien intervention...)
