-it really is huge, if true

-Solar Power is killing the sun by eating all its energy

I don't know what you even mean by gravity being weaker than magnetics. Both drop off with the an inverse square curve.

This^^^ isn't true.

The relationship between Magnetic field and distance is highly dependent on the geometry. For a simple straight conductor it is 1/r, for a gradient field in an MR scanner it is 1/r^5.

Yeah, I was just about to correct him on that..

Dolph Lundgren was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to MIT for chemical engineering.

Pennsylvania Dutch is really german heritage.

Mir Sultan Kahn - indian chess player who couldn't read, never studied openings, and managed to get into the top ten. He hated living in europe and when he left to go back to India, he was never heard from in the chess world again. He was a servant and when his master died he was left a farm.

Yeah, your right. Monopoles is 1/r^2. Dipoles is 1/r^3. That still leaves me scratching my head if your refrigerator magnet is a dipole, you would say that it is stronger than gravity, which is 1/r^2.

It's impossible to tuck your thumb into your hand and then flick your wrist downwards

 

[Seano]

It's impossible to tuck your thumb into your hand and then flick your wrist downwards

I just did it.

 

[rearnakedchoke]

Ive heard this , but dont know if true

If you took all the people in the world in texas, it still wouldnt be as densely populated as manhattan

 

[therealdope]

Yeah, your right. Monopoles is 1/r^2. Dipoles is 1/r^3. That still leaves me scratching my head if your refrigerator magnet is a dipole, you would say that it is stronger than gravity, which is 1/r^2.

There are three coils to encode the three orthogonal directions. Gradient strength is what determines spatial resolution in MRI scans.

 

[Dayman1984]

There is approximately six feet of DNA in each one of your cells.

 

[Strychnine]

There are more people living in the city of Denver, Colorado than in the entire state of Wyoming.

speaking of Cleopatra, she was the product of a very shallow gene pool. In the four generations of ancestors that preceded her, three were uncle-niece marriages and three were brother-sister. And she was neither ethnically Egyptian or African. Pure inbred Greek, baby. Bet she was hairy with a huge nose.

explains all the make up and showmanship

We are traveling on a rock, in an empty vast oasis of nothingness that may not exist! Lets get a little deeper, you are held together by nothing, literally nothing but equations and forces! Technically if we find the correct opposing forces we can take you apart and you can become nothingness. Or if you believe it, vibrations. You are held together by vibrations! Thats if you exist at all.
