Is it particles that behave like waves or something? I seem to have a vague memory of that phrase in my head from somewhere. Most likely school, so most likely it's wrong as 90% of the stuff they teach you in high school science is actually incorrect. No, it's just both. Fucked up things happen at 3x10 8 m/s. Both? BOTH? HOW CAN IT BE BOTH AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! MY BRAINS!!!! Also, it's been a looooong time since I had to know what 3x10 8 is...is that (3x10) to the power of 8 or is it (10 to the power of 8) x 3? seriously, 10 years of never having to do something is a sure fire way of forgetting it, no matter how simple it is. Like I got a B in GCSE French - today I'd be fucking lucky to string together a single sentence in French. |

Believe that's 3x10 to the power of 8, put another way 3x1,000,000,000. But it's been 11 years since I've had physics, so I could be remembering incorrectly.

300,000,000 or 3x 100,000,000 to be accurate.

I see the mistake you made. Fucking, as in "fucking magnets" is used as a verb, not an adjective. Ironbite, it takes a circle magnet and a good handful of petroleum jelly. Removal of any genital piercings beforehand is recommended. |

Unless you're into that. I'm not here to judge.

This is the Stupid Questions thread, right? Answer me this, oh most wise FSTDT'ers: Just who is this "Snooky" person I've been hearing about lately? Is she some kind of pop singer? I'm hearing the name all over the place, but nowhere do I learn why she's famous  |

This video, although it's a parody, pretty much tells you anything you need to know about her. |

Gah! Why are people like that famous?  This video, although it's a parody, pretty much tells you anything more than you need to know about her. Fixed. Ok, back to physics/astronomy/clever people stuff. |

I got a spectroscopy one. In an IR absorbance spectrum, would N=O bonds be observed in the region from around 1650 wavenumbers to around 1850 wavenumbers? I'm pretty sure it is but my notes don't seem to mention N=O bonds anywhere...

A few months back, I bought a 30 gallon trash can. I figured 30-32 gallon trash bags would fit perfectly in said 30 gal can. Why is it that the only bags that fit are 39 gallon?
