Well it's not mathematically possible

The formula is p/(2^n)

P would be the number of people you start with, and n is the number of games.

If you start with the population of the US, 350 million people, you can only do this for about 28 matches before you run out of people.

Not full article, but I've read enough to know irs clickbait

The general formula:

MCT=MGH

So height=(heat capacity of liquid*change in temp)/9.81

In our case (4184*70)/9.81 ~ 30,000 meters

So does the double slit experiment just say that when if the waves are perpendicular to each other they cannot form an interference pattern?

Seems kind of obvious right?

So what about the clean double stripes in the meme, when do we see that?

Also if we shoot it through only one slit, would it look like fig 3?

You don't know what you don't know, sometimes science may not seem useful at first, or even 50-100 years in the future.

Take the fourier transform, some guy in the late 1700s said that you can break down any function* into sines and cosines as in simple waves.

At the time this wasn't very useful except for deriving one equation. Know every single form of signal processing relies on fourier transforms.

So in the case of heavy elements, we simply don't know if this may or may not be useful. However there is a chance it might be, maybe not now, maybe in a 100 years.

*Turns out it has to be a trig function

Mgh=50149.81=6867 joules

So about the same eneegy it takes to keep a 6 watt lightbulb on for 19 minutes

Edit: oops i see you meant reply, thats a tough one that i cant really answer on the toilet. But using the formula work= F*D and some simplifying assumptions you could do it yourself

(Work is the physics term for energy needed)

I think the mechanism in your brain exists

Think of a song that you find pretty sad, overtime the more you play it, it loses it's emotional influence on you. Therefore I think it is indeed possible for the emotions in a memory to weaken overtime and eventually, whether for better or for worse, disappear entirely

Funniest meme I've seen all day

The forces vary depending on how fast you move it up. You might be thinking of energy not force, as in joules not newtons.

To elaborate, imagine you wanted you were playing air hockey, you have to hit the puck alot harder to move it fast than to move it slow even though both will reach the other side

What steps are you taking towards that goal?
