🔬⚗️🔭Nonsense science questions for ChiralAnomaly

509 Views | 25 Replies

Ok so @sobolev aka ChiralAnomaly, what if we bonded helium with steel to make really light metal?


We have tons in our atmosphere we can just scoop and bond to the Fe Iron.


Can we synthesize Fe and He together to form a very light but sturdy object?


hello


For my next question, how many newtons of force are required to slingshot somebody over 100 feet? And what sort of materials can we use to create that much bound-up potential energy?

here's my attempt


100 feet = 30.5 metres


use the optimal launch angle of 45 degrees since we want as much distance with the least force


assume landing position is at same altitude as launch position


ignore air resistance


use projectile motion formula


30.5 = (v^2 * sin(90))/9.8


v=17.3


a velocity of 17.3 m/s is required


Faverage = mass * (deltav/deltat)


assume mass is 80kg


Faverage = 80*(17.3/t)


F = 1384/t Newtons, where t is the amount of time the person is being accellerated by the slingshot


Hopefully my highschool level physics knowledge didn't fuck anything up

Great! Now get into the giant slingshot so we can test it


hello


Your question clearly depends on the angle of launch and the length of the cannon along which acceleration takes place. None of these are given.


I am not going to work it out. I will just leave the rest of the details to you.

No. Unless the helium is ionised, which cannot happen under normal conditions.

Biology might not be your wheel house, but will we ever get talking animals?

most (if not all) animals are physically incapable of making the noises humans can

but we did teach a gorilla sign language

@sobolev how do you feel about breaking bad? Is it too much of a “how to” guide on abusing the law using science, or is it a great cautionary tale about how crime doesn’t pay?


Also can you make meth

What if your mom fell from the 1WTC (1776 ft/541.3 m)? Will she cause an earthquake? What could be the magnitude?

Very carefully.

How do Pop Tarts work?


So the light from stars can be almost as old as the universe, it just takes that long for the wavelengths to reach us.


maybe we also send out wavelengths showing our planet and stuff


Does that mean we could look into the past on earth if we had a big mirror 1 light year away?


That would be sick to set up a mirror 2,000 light years away and see Ancient Rome in all of its glory. The wavelengths with those signals are still bouncing around space somewhere

Not all stars in the past are visible to earth. Only those within the particle horizon can be seen, while signals from those outside the particle horizon do not (yet) have time to reach us. Particle horizon grows with time, so it is possible for stars outside the particle horizon to reach us in the future.


maybe we also send out wavelengths showing our planet and stuff

By definition, stars lying outside the (cosmological) event horizon can never receive signals from us. Accelerated expansion of the universe causes stars to move apart from one another and thus with time, we will be able to interact with less and less of the universe.

I want to say it’s a link to somewhere else. We can tie a camera to a rope and throw it in there and pull it out and see a whole new world on the other side. But Sobolev will say nay and Malachy will say neigh 🐴 and Damnedbyfate will say nein

Black holes are vacuum

solutions to Einstein’s field equation so within the event horizon and away from the singularity it is just a vacuum, that is locally the interior looks like nothing special to an in-falling observer. You might see traces of dust.

When are we going to be able to create a spaceship for proper space travel?


Or at the very least how soon can we make it to Mars?
