Re: Science: Vaccines Work, GMOs Are Safe, Everything is a Chemical
Originally posted by FreshFish View PostIf I were an inventor, I'd find a way to embed solar fibers into roofing shingles (sort of like how one can now put an electric heating grid under a tile floor before they lay down the tile above it, but flip-flopped). Then, every time a person needs a new roof, they can get a two-fer quite easily; you only have to hire one crew once instead of two1.
It seems to me a mis-use of solar to link it to a national grid at all. I'd think a localized mix of whatever works best in a certain area would make more sense. Every building have its own solar for its own use, with the excess shared / stored locally. Having too widespread a grid tied into all sorts of different generating technologies risks kluge effects that we might never unwind, and it also is a serious threat to national security.
1 When people have solar panels on top of their roofing shingles, what do they do when it comes time to replace the shingles? Do they have to disconnect the panels and remove them, replace the roof, and then put them back up? Somehow that detail never makes it into the sales literature....
there are already roofing systems with solar built in. Not sure how they work. I believe they are less efficient than good panelsI swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.

Re: Science: Vaccines Work, GMOs Are Safe, Everything is a Chemical
question for science peeps
at the end of independence day 1, will sets off that nuke in the mother ship and escapes, only to have to fly out of the explosive cloud.
so....
how does that cloud exist?
doesn't fire need oxygen?
isn't there NO oxygen IN space?
does a nuke create oxygen? through atom deconstruction?
always confused mookie.
thanks for your expert repliesa legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.

In SciFi, the standard way to end a fire on a spaceship is to dump the air in the compartment(s) to space. That will put out the fire (unless it is electrical).CCT '77 & '78

the exploded field, that wouldn't have any acceleration (or increase in velocity)? would it?
the explosion would set it on a course and with no gravity or friction it would continue at the original speed until it reached earth's (or another planets) atmosphere.
so in theory with the spacecraft at max speed (couple times speed of light?). how fast would an atomic explosion initially propel shrapnel?a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.
