The Derailing Thread

1 part clay (SiO4 and AlO4) combined with 2 parts sand (SiO2) can be used to make good building bricks. The bricks can either be baked in an oven, or fermented straw can act as an organic catalyst to chemically bond the component atoms. If straw is used, the bricks can be sun baked.

E=mc² is incomplete. It only applies to non moving objects.

If an object experiences acceleration, its apparent mass changes. Adjusting for this:

E=mc²/√(1-v²/c²)

I have now, just now, on my car forum, successfully compared new shock absorbers for my car to new underwear for me.

You just cant mess with a car guy.....

1) Kinetic energy has been measured as KE=½mv²

2) The speed of light has been measured as the same regardless of the speed of observers.

If an omnidirectional light source in empty space emits light for 1 hour, it will reduce its total mass/energy as it emits light. If the light source then accelerates away, it will gain KE=½mv².

-E+KE2

If the light source accelerates away without emitting light, it will gain KE=½mv² based on its original mass. If the light source then emits light for 1 hour, this will reduce its mass/energy by the same -E as in the first case. However, the static observer will measure the amount of light emitted as E(1+v²/2c²) Light travels at the same speed for all observers, but it appears red shifted if light sources are moving away from the observer.

KE1-E(1+v²/2c²)

However, in both cases, the total light energy plus KE is the same.

-E+KE2=KE1-E(1+v²/2c²)

E(v²/2c²)+KE2=KE1

KE=½mv² Since the velocity is known to be the same in this case, the mass must have changed.

E(v²/2c²)+½m2v² =½m1v²

E/c²+m2=m1

E/c²=m1-m2=change of mass

E=mc²

Mitochondrial DNA produces proteins that are similar to that of proteins produced by nuclear DNA. The endoplasmic reticulum cannot differentiate between the two. To insure that proteins necessary for cell energy production get to the right place, they must be produced by locally by mitochondrial DNA. Thus the 2 sets of DNA in each cell.

My landlady is cooking again. (Her downstairs and my apartment share an air handler). Everything she cooks smells like Italian.
Makes me want to eat and eat and eat.

Prolly not as long as I'm breathing.

Made a spice rack for my wife out of wood a couple of years ago.
Guests still ask which one of our kids made it in wood shop.

These blasted pop up storms have been making it harder to finish mowing the lawn this weekend than it was trying to finish the 1973 Indianapolis 500.

Used two different mowers. One set real high, the other real low. Now the lawn looks like one of the haircuts my mom used to give me when I was a kid.

I've had a lot of joy today and I'm really thankful for that. You ever have one of those days when you're hyperly aware of how good God is to you? I'm glad my wife was asleep this morning when I pulled that bowl of oatmeal out of the microwave and tears welled up in my eyes. It's kinda hilarious to look back on right now. Can you imagine? "What's wrong honey?" Just really thankful for being able to wake up and eat this bowl of oatmeal, dear... hahaha. I'm a blessed weirdo.

The bank has been confiscating from the majority, and redistributing to rich bankers and their allies. The bank has thereby particularly oppressed the poor and elderly. The Gini coefficient is to the moon.

Our local group galaxy cluster contains 2 large spiral galaxies, one small spiral galaxy, and about a hundred dwarf galaxies.

 

[Michael74]

Spiral arms are produced and maintained by slowly absorbing dwarf galaxies into the galactic core.

I can do ANYTHING with my car except refinish the headlights. For the THIRD time in a row, I made it rain by working on the headlights.

Photons can be converted into electron/positron pairs. One photon converts into an electron/positron pair via the uncertainty principle. The other photon then attaches to one of the particles, preventing the electron/positron pair from converting back into photons.

The bank printed evil inflation. Millions of Middle East refugees are fleeing the bank's food inflation.
