MAGNETISM is something that*....

magnetism is balance
magnetism is a way being equal
magnetism creates a force wall

in chemistry you have a positive charge and negative charge (equal Proton AND Electron)

in our planet earth its a way of creating a defense from the suns rays or you can call it solar wind (arua lights) and also helps with the theory on sea floor spreading, people study rocks for earth magnetic field

Fuck I hate you /chem/.

THe tanks water level will align with the tubes water level, NOTHING else will happen.

This.

That's not so much because it's a liquid as it is under pressure

YOU JUST TOTALLY CREATED THE PERPETUAL MACHINE!!!!!!

>>29343
come again?

Seriously, what do you mean?

>>29344

he means that if OP were actually correct in what he said his tank design would do, it could be made into a machine that would produce infinite energy

Get yourself in a class where you do the same but with real science. FUCKING HELL. CAN SOMEONE MAEK THE FUCKING ST00PID GET AWAY? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

He's required to? I know I've had to take bullshit classes like those my first and second year.

>>29310
I took the class because I'm in the honors program at my school and they make us take upper level General Education Classes (GECs) . This was the only one that fit the category I needed and that fit into my schedule so I could do my research and take my mol gen classes. It's actually a really high level class, technically counted as a seminar in african american studies.

>>29321
Yea, I am already in classes like that. I'm in 2 graduate level mol gen classes: Model Organisms, and DNA Transactions in which we have to read at least a paper a week. For model organisms it's sometimes 1-2 per lecture, but you couldn't have known that so I won't yell at you or anything. It's all cool man.

sounds like to me that you overloaded yourself and yes this is possible. either that or your taking way to advance of classes that are not giving you the fun learning thrill but instead stressing you out wishing you life wasnt so demanding

i often feel like "the pressures on" when it comes to life and i agree it sucks but ive come to the conclusion that i just get the case of the "what the fuck are you gonna do's"

dude smoke it will probably make all those bio exams and papers much more interesting trust meeeeeeeee just dont go driving or something stupid if your new to it

Chem major here. Busted by DEA in high school. Chemical sources are by far the biggest risk to clandestine cooks. Be VERY careful if you think you can become a kingpin of some kind.

>>29319

Any details? I'm assuming you bought something that you shouldn't have and they knocked on your door? Was it the precursor or lab equipment?

>>29319
elaborate?

That picture is just awful.

It was a 50lb back of ammonium nitrate, if you must know.

>>29256

I hope you're kidding. All control is done by the AGC. There's something called an IMU(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_measurement_unit) used in everything that requires orientation corrections. This would be the analogue part of the system. No computer can know orientation by itself.

Here's the laughable part you present: you think the AGC that "provided onboard computation to support spacecraft guidance, navigation and control." doesn't actually control the spacecraft. What is it doing then? Turning on and off the engines? That could surely be provided by a much less complicated device. The AGC computes the required trajectories and adjusts the thrust output and direction accordingly through gimbal control.

>>29264
I've flown a simulation of the apollo program, or at least tried.
That computer is nothing but a glorified calculator, all it does is give you numbers that tell you what to do with the controls.

>>29266

That's what you're basing your assumption on? That's just plain wrong. In reality the astronauts didn't actually touch anything besides any extra systems switches on liftoff and most other important precise operations. Really the only things done manually propulsion wise were some corrections and docking of the modules. They input codes into the DSKY which was the interface for the AGC. These codes ran the programs to control the craft into orbit, then to the moon, then to an orbit around the moon.

The lunar lander also had its own AGC that controlled the burn and heading on a preplanned course down to the moon. If you know anything about the first moon landing you'll most likely know Niel Armstrong took manual control of the craft just seconds before running out of fuel to avoid a rocky area.

You were in space club in grade school too?

Wrong. Ugly people simple don't get left out of the loop. This isn't the African Serengeti where the lion with the most full and flashy mane gets the all the bitches to himself. We live in a world where everybody has a decent chance at propagating. There is no selective force against ugly people because they are plenty and they fuck each other and make millions of little ugly babies Beauty only gets you higher up in the social ladder, lacking beauty doesn't keep you from popping out babies like a machine gun..

>>29307
basically, ugly people get uglier, hot people get hotter, smart people get smarter etc etc etc

racist white people get whiter?
non racists get 'greyer'?
black racists get blacker?

Now you're stepping into cultural evolution which is not as solid and predictable as biological evolution.

That picture is stupid and idiocracy was a flawed film and you should all feel bad for giving these ideas credence.

>>29334

It seems like you think that Mike Judge (the creator of Idiocracy) took this theory seriously and tried to present it to the scientific world. It's an imaginary comedic situation and that's all it is: humor.

im A molecular biology major, and I have An A in ochem right now. fucking math is what gets me.

>>29298
Don't waste your time on trig and pre calc. I also thought I was awful at math and went through a precalc/trig text to prepare. It was pretty much a huge waste of time and effort. Other than manipulating algebraic expressions, solving quadratic eqs by factoring and completing the square, an understaning of trig via the unit circle (soh cah toa, sin^2+cos^2=1), virtually nothing you cover will be of value to you. Get a calculus book with a solutions manual and start working through it. You'll strengthen your algebra skills as you go and you'll have a leg up on the other students.

>>29314

O shit. In that case I think I may just go buy the book then, and work through it.

OP: If your school is like mine, on the first test, they'll make you derive things the hard way (with limits). If you haven't taken calc before, this will fuck you over (like it did with me). Know that the derivitive of x^2 is 2x^1. The derivitive of x^3 is 3x^2, etc.

Thanks a lot for taking the effort to explain little interesting pieces of information like this. I feel I understand the basic tenets of ST better now (which by that I really mean as in "I see what you did there").

>>29290

Good post. I'd like to expand a bit upon time in the context of special relativity (SR) as I have come to understand it. Spacetime is a four dimensional "space." Everything in the universe travels through space-time at a constant speed, c, the speed of light. Light, which moves at the speed of light (in a vacuum) through space, does not travel through time at all. It is "timeless." A stationary particle (in a particular frame of reference) does not move through space, but moves through time at the speed of light. This is where the time dilation and length contraction of SR come from, I think. SR is a mind fuck of a theory that comes from two basic postulates: that the laws of physics are the same everywhere in the universe (for all inertial frames of reference i.e. viewpoints which are not accelerating) and that the speed of light is constant in all inertial frames.

For some reason the Discovery Channel just can't summarize it like you did. Thanks a bunch.

I have a related question, which is: is time a necessary condition for anything to happen?

Im glad I could help a bit.

>>29313

You're on the right track. Lemme see if i can expand on this a little bit. SR is the result of observations that no matter how fast an observer is traveling towards or away from a light source, the light will always be measured as traveling the speed of light from the observer's frame of reference (or from any frame of reference for that matter). This is a very odd phenomenon because we are used to the Galilean transformation we experience in everyday life. For example, let's say you are driving your car on the freeway fairly slowly. From your reference frame you appear stationary while the other cars pass you by at a few more miles per hour. If you sped up a little bit then the cars would appear to pass by you more slowly. This is not the case with light. No matter how fast you are traveling (compared to a stationary observer of course) you will always see light traveling at a constant speed.

amphetamine-abuse and CVD. You'll prolly find a tonne of info on that one.

I attended an awesome presentation linking obesity, medical imaging of gut fat, and heart disease last week. It was mostly to do with how we metabolize fat. turns out if you have a fat gut, it's better to have a high BMI (fat overall) than a low one (fat in your gut only).

it'd be hard to research though cuz u don't really have any data to work with. I sympathize OP. I'm in computational physics, I can simulate all the data I ever need.

Do "mephedrone and cardiovascular diseases", as
1) there are rumours that mephedrone is very cardiotoxic
2) many people do mephedrone
So not only will you advance the field of toxicology (?), but you will also help like 10000 people (if not more) and will have an unlimited supply of mephedrone for the duration of the study

>>29306

Well you've got my attention. Is mephedrone believed to be especially cardiotoxic relative to, say, cathinone?

Dude... CVD is the number one killer on the planet! How can researching this not be interesting? How about doing some correlative research on whether plaque in the carotid artery is indicative of plaque throughout the body (specifically the heart!).

Diabetus and arterial atherosclerosis in the legs can be a good research topic.

Seriously dude.... cancer is bogus, brains aren't well understood, and Cardiovascular disease is a relatively simple disease with great consequences... you got the good topic.

1. Typical caffeinated soft drink
2. Coffee
3. Red bull
4. 5 hour energy
5. Vitamin water energy

any explanations on how the chemicals in these drinks effect respiration would be greatly appreciated

Caffeine doesn't affect cellular respiration directly, it works by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain, counteracting adenosine's (healthy) inhibition of the CNS which normally is part of what prevents you from tweaking out all the time

Taurine, another neurotransmitter, is also present in some of these energy drinks.
It acts as an agonist of the glycine receptor, according to wikipedia.

These drinks have sugar, well that should be an obvious one.

VItamins are cofactors for a lot of enzymes...

CO2 and water don't really do anything interesting.... and that's all I can think of.

I'm not sure if this is right, but caffeine mimics the epinephrine pathway with increased concentrations of cAMP which activate protein kinases which activates glycogen phosphorylase which releases saccharide monomers into your system which are then rapidly "burned" away in glycolysis.

In other words increased respiration.

Double check with your biochem textbook.
