I was amazed wen I was able to produce magnet with wire and was also suprised wen our master told us that "even our local electric poles have magnetic force in between the wires" bcuz of that magnet, Nepa wires can rattle for long wen been shaked.

Mehn I almost caused my village not to hav light cuz I lik stoning high voltage wires jst to enjoy elec wires rattling and sparking grin

SUN RISES IN THE EAST AND SET IN THE WEST.....BULLSHIT, SUN NEVER MOVE, ITS JUST THE EARTH THAT ROTATES WHICH GIVES NIGHT AND DAY.....dont blame my teachers then, how could they explain a rotating earth to a boy anyway
similar 2 what my geo teacher also taught me ,sometin like d sun rise frm d east n set in d west.he also taught me that d sun is static,now how cn d sun rise n set witout moving?who is fooling who?all these white men n their white lies

shits_happen: Teleportation, that matter can dematerialise( break into simple units) and reassemble elsewhere, is a very weird concept. Imagine I can appear where Mukina is right now and give him a dirty slap. lol
Levitation also, particle physics is a big cock and bull story

[b]A team of University of Queensland physicists has transmitted an atom from one location to another inside an electronic chip.
The team, which includes Dr Arkady Fedorov and Dr Matthias Baur from UQ's ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems and the School of Mathematics and Physics, published its findings in Nature this month.
Dr Fedorov said the team had achieved quantum teleportation for the first time, which could lead to larger electronic networks and more functional electronic chips.
"This is a process by which quantum information can be transmitted from one place to another without sending a physical carrier of information," Dr Fedorov said.
"In this process the information just appears at the destination, almost like teleportation used in the famous science fiction series Star Trek."
Dr Fedorov said the key resource of quantum teleportation was a special type of correlation, called entanglement, shared between a sender and a receiver.
"Once entanglement is created, this 'impossible' information transfer becomes in fact possible thanks to laws of quantum mechanics," Dr Fedorov said.
"For the first time, the stunning process of quantum teleportation has now been used in a circuit to relay information from one corner of the sample to the other.
"What makes our work interesting is the system uses a circuit, much like modern computer chips.
"In our system the quantum information is stored in artificial structures called quantum bits, and you can even see them with your bare eyes.
"This is surprising because people typically expect quantum only at atomic scales, not even visible with electronic microscopes.
"This quantum information allows us to do teleportation with impressive speed and accuracy above what has been achievable to date."
"In our Superconducting Quantum Devices laboratory at UQ we are using this technology to further enhance our knowledge about the quantum nature," Dr Fedorov said.
"Eventually this technology will be used to create more powerful devices."
This research indicates that questions relating to the physics of quantum communication can be addressed using electronic circuits at microwave frequencies.[/b]

Hendrixtzee: I remember so well after an integrated science class in my JSS 3 when we were taught that a combination of hydrogen and oxygen ( ratio 2:1) wlld yield water, I just thought that yeah so water bottling companies get 2 'big" chambers of hydrogen and oxygen gases to mix and then Boooooooooommm!!!!!! We've gt water H2O.
Did y'all av any as eager science students??

You're actually not that far off! All you need is energy to combine the hydrogen atoms to the oxygen atoms but the end result will be an explosion and water as hydrogen is highly flammable and oxygen supports combustion.

Bottom line: if you can control the resulting explosion from combining hydrogen and oxygen, you’ll end up with water.

This is still true you know, except you have to rub really long and hard to generate enough electro-magnetism.

The smell of ammonia is too pungent to smell like urine except the one you're talking about is laboratory ammonia, which is not as concentrated as industrial ammonia.

You're right though, hydrogen sulphide does have a characteristic rotten egg smell.

okay, laughing gas "Nitrous Oxide", "N2O",comes to my mind undecided

Thought then that when you inhale the laughing gas, you'll start laughing like a mad person .
Although it gives a euphoric effect when inhaled but not to the level of laughing like a mad person cheesy

I'm better informed now cool.
I thougt same oo!!!!... Well i avnt inhaled it sha

Phder: When I was in SS1, I mistakenly drank an acid during quantitative analysis experiment, before that day, I used to believe acid is really sour in taste.

--------------------------------
Don't ask me the taste, because my sense of taste wasn't functioning during the incident.
huuuhhhhh *hides face*... I slightly experienced such, running around looking for reagents durin Chem 171 prat exam (first year) n I mistakenly gt H2SO4 spilled over my left hand in d rush. Well I gt so scared when I saw some skin irritation even after rinsing wt water. Thank God I finished d exam tho, with a nice grade *kneels*
