Why is there such a thing as humans, what purpose do they serve?"That is a very good question. Humans do seem to be the old one out. There is one school of thought that says humans are there as a control, to farm and to care take. Though I think was over shot that over 5000 years ago when we decided not to just control and care take but also use everything for out own advantage.. | |||

"Have you killed Schrödinger's cat yet? Heisenberg tried once but when he knew its position he didn't know it's momentum. " He saw a snapshot of the cat in a fix position being swung around the room, though we could not tell which direction it was be swung or a what speed.. | |||
"Is it true that Pavlov's cat rang a bell when it wanted to be feed?" A refer you to Pavlov's cat experiments .. "Eddie Izzard - Dressed to Kill" | |||
"Have you killed Schrödinger's cat yet? Well it is dead anyways, died of old age." Surely the answer should be yes/no/maybe/what cat?  | |||

It only works for spherical cats in a vacuum. | |||

"If your at the front of the bus travelling 50mph, and you jump, Would you end up at the back of the bus?" No. | |||

"If your at the front of the bus travelling 50mph, and you jump, Would you end up at the back of the bus?" As you jump you are travelling at 50mph yourself, so as long as the bus stays at the same speed you will land where you took off from. If you jump while the bus is speed up, slowly down or changing direction then you will land in a different place | |||

Yeah, qualifications are valuable in your particular line of work and keeping up to date in something as fast paced as IT or science is important. However, my job involves very little quantum mechanics still my bedtime reading is currently QED by Feynman. I think that qualifies me as a science nerd, I do it because I love it, not because I have to. | |||

So once you've folded eight times the paper is 256 sheets thick. | |||

Look up "standard model" on wiki and you'll find a table of fundamental particles, that's as small as we currently understand and we believe that they are not made up of smaller particles. "But that would be cheating,,,, your not allowed to the answer by telling the person asking the question to go check Wiki,,,, sheeesh,,,,,,, struth,,,, I've never seen that tactic used on mastermind or university challenge | |||

Its because no matter how big the paper, each time you fold it the thickness doubles. The thickness and strength of the material will be factor in how able to hold a fold vs the material tearing -difference int the curve the outer piece of paper vs the inner in twelve folds is huge.. Theres some long standing competition by a woman Brittany something to try and beat her record | |||

I've never seen that tactic used on mastermind or university challenge "Richard Feynman, one of the most influential physicists the world has seen once said, "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics" it's really that hard to get your head around. Now if he can't explain in plain English why a quark or a lepton is as small as you can get - to other physicists, I doubt that I will be able to explain it to you.  | |||
