<0> If you pour 50kg of icecubes into a bathtub, how much will the waterlevel have have been raised after they've melted?
<0> anyone?
<1> 50 kg of ice? trying to hide a body ?
<2> always
<2> nstary: the clue to the question is .. what is ice?
<0> ?
<2> think it trough
<2> or through
<1> nstary: the volume will be less than the volume with the 50 kg of ice, for starters
<2> the volume can be calculated *exact*
<3> nstary, you'll likely have to find some bouyancy equilibrium from ice's density and then it will be the amount above the surface that adds to the water level
<1> sch
<4> DanF_DrC - there?
<3> no: )
<4> this is Chandra/Anil
<4> I saw you got your self banned from Efnet's #physics
<5> How'd you do that?
<6> lol getting banned on efnet is not really that hard
<4> haha
<5> Odd, I always considered it a bit of a toilet
<6> compaired to freenode it is
<6> seems like a bunch of little kingdoms
<6> lol no I don't think you can hondje
<5> whew
<6> IRC is the underworld of the internet
<5> I wouldn't go that far, lot of talkers are a bit seedier
<6> so i keep thinking about meta-materials
<6> for example, what about direct production of electricity from radiation ?
<6> going to be decades of course
<7> Carbonflux: hehe, yeah I agree it's easy to get banned at Efnet's #physics
<3> Cuckoo, I didn't get banned. it is an ancient ban and I just joined today
<6> I just banned from the Israel channel there, which was weird considering I am a Jew lover.
<6> got banned
<7> I think i got just kicked
<6> I think they should be able to figure out a way to intercept those rockets
<6> they are just balistic and all the target areas are known
<7> well, nuclear ABMs are good
<6> I hear they are researching lasers
<5> How does one become a 'jew lover'
<4> DanF_DrC - I know that, just wondering if you have DHCP so, I can remove the ban
<6> I love the Jews
<5> Do you go around and spam notices with "THE JEWS DIDNT DO WTC!!!"?
<6> lol
<5> All of them?
<3> Cuckoo, my IP is dynamic
<5> That makes absolutely no sense to me
<6> well, I was exagerating
<3> Carbonflux doesn't always make sense
<6> I have some close friends that are Jews that I love
<6> and I like Israel and the people there
<6> I was reading that Israel has a really active Laser defense project
<3> they might have. says who?
<6> someone from there gave me a link the other day
<1> Carbonflux: Explain your thoughts there? You mentioned them a few minutes ago.
<6> don't remember the link now sadly
<5> So basically you're saying you're a zionist
<5> That makes more sense to my simple mind
<6> no, I don't beleve in greater Israel
<6> but I do beleve in a homeland
<6> you in terms of shooting down the rockets kanzure ?
<1> Nah, you said something even earlier methinks
<6> about meta-materials and coversion of radiation to electricity directly?
<1> (18:22:08) Carbonflux: so i keep thinking about meta-materials
<1> (18:22:34) Carbonflux: for example, what about direct production of electricity from radiation ?
<1> yeah
<1> What do you mean by 'meta' materials?
<6> well...maybe a link would explane it better....but the way I see it is as a artificial nano-scale construct that in one very very like single molecule
<6> large*
<6> so you can create nano-scale stuff that has spacing within the wavelengths of light or even other parts of the EM spectra
<1> and you're thinking of such a large-scale nano-scale structure or material that would do something? (in this case, radiation -> electricity, which I do not know much about)
<6> like radiation
<1> ah, the EM spectra, sure
<6> let me find you a link....I am a bit new to it myself even tho I have read about it in Scifi and stuff
<1> so where would the generated electricity 'go'? Some sort of doped NPN material towards a battery component for storage?
<3> solar cells come to mind
<3> also some beta radiation to electricity transistor exists for nuclear powered batteries afaik
<6> yes, for example...say you take a project like ITTR ( toridal fusion thingie ) you could line the inside with a meta-materal that would convert the radiation directly into electricity without needing to heat water
<1> why are we calling it 'meta' material?
<5> matamaterial has a nice buzzword sound to it
<1> ah
<6> because it is a single large moloclue
<6> molocule*
<5> well, that wasn't an answer to you kanzure :)
<1> hondje: it sure works as one, doesn't it?
<5> indeed....time to start writing about metaweb2.0
<1> yayayayayay
<1> MetaWeb OS 2.0, you mean
<6> this is a more sensational link: http://www.pratt.duke.edu/news/releases/index.php?story=276
<1> I can't help but think that the people that 'support' the AJAX Web 2.0 nonsense haven't even heard of the W3 consortium, : /
<6> "Their design theory provides the precise mathematical function describing a metamaterial with structural details that would allow its interaction with electromagnetic radiation in the manner desired. That function could then guide the fabrication of metamaterials with those precise characteristics, Smith explained."
<5> it's dark energy powered!
<6> lol
<1> I wonder,
<1> is the heat dissipation of morons greater than that of slightly more competent individuals?
<6> heh
<5> probably not
<6> heat dissipation is better if you are not wearing a hat
<1> Hm, actually, more intelligent folk would be generating more heat in theory, since they would have more synaptic connections by our current models of the neocortex
<6> notice they are working on a cloaking device heh, hondje's comment is kind of relivent
<1> Carbonflux, I am not convinced that such a sensationalist metamaterial would be able to properly compute the right location of the material and the right adjustments to project the EM bands that were received as input on the opposite side of the metamaterial
<1> unless there is something that I have significantly missed?
<6> I agree
<6> I think they are thinking about fixed objects also
<1> I think we might be able to get some nice results with near-homogeneous colors
<6> this is why I think other things might be more practical
<6> for example, cheep polarised gl***
<6> or better solar cells and stuff
<5> that doesn't get funding
<6> ya
<5> You need buzzwords, military applications, or preferably both
<6> re your dark matter comment
<5> Exactly ;-)
<5> My dark gravity theory is going to revolutionize trolling AmSci
<5> imagine, if you would....DARK SPACETIME
<1> Feynman once said something like, "Honestly, nobody actually knows what energy really -is-."
<1> Hey! I know. Let's go ask the Department of Energy. Yeah!
<6> lol
<1> hondje, I just finished my paper on the subject
<6> Feynman never gets old
<5> on energy, or Feynman
<1> hondje, Dark spacetime in slightly corruptible third generation matrices in wave configuration fluxes
<5> lol, I demand a link
<1> haha .. uhh. Where was that computer science research paper generator, anyway?
<6> lol
<5> Somewhere on MITs site IIRC :)
<1> yeah, that sounds 'bout right
<4> done DanF_DrC
<1> Carbonflux, any other topics? heh
<6> heh
<6> just thinking of the little nano-scale water-wheels the size of the wavelength of some kind of radiation
<6> really, on topic I keep thinking about is the physics of intercepting short range balllistic unguided rockets
<1> a structure that is the size of radiation wavelengths?
<5> well, that'd be a pretty long wave, H2O isn't exactly tiny
<6> and why the smart people if Israel can't find something simple and partical
<5> Because it's not cost effective
<6> yes, that is what nano-scale eng. is all about
<5> Shoot a $500,000 missile to protect a $40,000 house?
<6> people are priceless ? heh
<1> hondje, courtesy of the 'Logic' of the U.S. government
<1> Carbonflux: nonsense!
<6> also don't think of it as just protecting a single house
<6> but protecting a entire arms industry
<1> I do not know how computational prediction of missile trajectories is supposed to work
<5> We Americans do that by spending $400B a year on **** we don't use :)
<6> well, on the fly really
