Could quantum entanglement be used for communication if the two ends were synchronized? Posted: 23 Nov 2015 08:15 AM PST Say both sides had synchronized atomic clocks and arrays of entangled particles that represent single use binary bits. Each side knows which arrays are for receiving vs sending and what time the other side is sending a particular array so that they don't check the message until after it's sent. They could have lots of arrays with lots of particles that they just use up over time. Why won't this work? PS I'm a computer scientist, not a physicist, so my understanding of quantum physics is limited. [link] [198 comments] |
Posted: 24 Nov 2015 04:22 AM PST This is probably a dumb question, but I still want to ask, let's say the torch is 9999x more powerful than you thought it was after reading the title, and the scale is the most accurate and sensitive one possible. If the answer is absolutely 0, does this apply to microwaves, other EMR? (Let's also forget about the energy from the torch melting the scale or similar things) [link] [2 comments] |
Posted: 24 Nov 2015 01:42 AM PST it's generally taught that metallic or non-metallic character is governed by the electronegativity of the element (for example), so what's the deal with tungsten (and the others...)? edit: gold is an even worse offender. [link] [3 comments] |

Posted: 23 Nov 2015 07:50 AM PST No-one i've asked has been able to answer this, so i'll ask about it here. For example, if i put a button or transmitter at one point and a LED or some sort of receiver 100 meters (328.08399 feet) away, how long does it take to light the LED up or receiver to notice it? Of course, different materials conduct at various levels, but do you any of you have some examples at least? [link] [58 comments] |
Posted: 23 Nov 2015 10:14 PM PST Do individual separate neuron cells fall asleep in Petri dishes? What changes in an individual neuron after it has slept? How is this different from neurons sleeping together in a brain? Thanks [link] [comment] |
Posted: 23 Nov 2015 09:54 PM PST I am curious about this because it seems like people have a really hard time finding giant squids or other creatures like that. When they die do the creatures sink? or are they lost in the ocean. [link] [3 comments] |

When some thing glows hot does some small part of it (matter) turn into light? Posted: 23 Nov 2015 07:32 AM PST If matter and light are the same stuff... then if I heat up a hammer till it glows are bits of the hammer hitting my retina? [link] [27 comments] |
Can you get vitamin D from the moon/moonlight? Posted: 23 Nov 2015 07:50 PM PST |
Posted: 23 Nov 2015 11:39 AM PST The equations i know of are the darcey-weisbach, and two friction factors; phi=8/Re and phi=0.00396/Re0.25. [link] [4 comments] |
What are Charm Quarks? I'm having difficulty understanding what they are and their purpose. Posted: 23 Nov 2015 07:06 PM PST |
Posted: 24 Nov 2015 01:19 AM PST Of course my gut feeling says no but if feel like if you got 00 in roulette twice in a row it would be less likely than hitting 00 then hitting a non 00 number [link] [6 comments] |
Thought experiment: Is the expansion of space directly measurable? Posted: 23 Nov 2015 09:28 PM PST Please correct me if I'm wrong: As I understand it, somehow space is expanding and creating more space. At distance scales as large as the universe, this expansion is such that photons being emitted from distance objects (unobservable universe) will never make it to us -- space is being created between the photons and us faster than they can traverse. Is this expansion of space happening homogeneously? As a thought experiment: Could we measure it by a sending a very delicate, long, spring into space? It seems the longer the spring, the more it would be stretched by the expansion of space between the endpoints. Does the expansion of the universe affect planetary orbits? Shouldn't they drift further just slightly? [link] [3 comments] |
