The elevator journeys would take extremely long periods of time though.

Yes, what scientist does not crave that hint of insanity to push his creativity over the edge.

It would be very scary too but its worth it, imagine the incredible view it would be wonderful.

It would be very expensive. Even more than the ISS and would take the cooperation of many international bodies and countries. But well, isn't that what they did with the ISS? shouldn't be a problem.

Don't mind the kids! they won't get too enjoy what we have enjoyed anyway
But if they do this . . . and succeed . . . by GOD . . . humanity would have proverbially built the tower of Babel!

Lmao at tower of babel, anyway tower of babel wasn't as tall as an average sky scraper now tho. .it was a temple built at the center of babylonia for the worship of the babylonian sun god maduk.. it was the tallest building in babylonia tho, the taller the nearer to the sun. ancient thinking tho, those guys are funny

Space booked to the greatest achievement . . . . possibly, of this century!

I seriously need then to accelerate things because i really need to see these stuffs before my time is up. . . aaaaw this make me wish i wasn't born yet

I use to like Thomas Edison, but I dropped him when I learnt about his beef with that mad scientist, Nikolas Tesla.

I learnt it originated when Edison failed to keep his promise to his then consultant, Tesla. 

*Tesla was offered the task of completely redesigning the Edison Company's direct current generators. In 1885, he said that he could redesign Edison's inefficient motor and generators, making an improvement in both service and economy. According to Tesla, Edison remarked,

 "There's fifty thousand dollars in it for you—if you can do it."
 
This has been noted as an odd statement from an Edison whose company was stingy with pay and who did not have that sort of cash on hand.  After months of work, Tesla fulfilled the task and inquired about payment. Edison, saying that he was only joking, replied, "Tesla, you don't understand our American humor." Instead, Edison offered a US$10 a week raise over Tesla's US$18 per week salary; Tesla refused the offer and immediately resigned. (Wikipedia) *
‎
Edison was reported to have publicly electrocuted animals with AC power source in bid to discourage the public against the use of AC, to favour his own DC power source. ‎

I think we know who  won the 'current war' at the end of the day.

I think,  *Edison was one level of science. Tesla was many levels higher. His wireless electricity wins it big time for me.

abeg, can we reduce the amount of big words we use in here? it has scared the over 200 youths dat signed up for this thread in the early pages.


Thanks!

But they could always tell us to explain our big words nah.

Johny don22, what do you have to say about this?

Personally, I don't think our vocabulary scared them away. I think the reason the signed up in the first place was just a plot to look good on a front page article. Such is the state of Nigeria. The youths would rather blame the government for their predicaments than use their brains and engage in constructive discourse.
After now, they will be claiming that soon, they will be richer than dangote. That can never happen.
I'm especially saddened with the females. They cry feminism from thread to thread and yet cannot give reasonable contributions in a thread like this.
Victoriabee and misssclassy especially.

Anyways, no worries.
Only two percent of the population has a gifted IQ. And two hundred signed up . . . it then follows that just four are expected to continue


Good afternoon.

it makes alot of sense.

yeah Edison was more of a business man, though some people believe they were enemies, many others think they were more of friends than enemies, I am one of such .

At the time that power grids which lined major cities were first built, there was no convenient way to change the voltage of DC power, whereas using a transformer made that relatively easy for AC power. That is why AC power won the “war of the currents”



The only significant advantage AC has over DC is that it can be step up or down easily and efficiently

DC has It's own advantage too

» Every current that oscillate, radiate some amount of energy, this is prevented using DC
» There are no losses due to skin effect
and there are many more bro....

HVDC (high voltage DC) has evolved a lot, and is now the best way to transmit large amounts of power great distances.
There are many Countries in world switch from AC to DC ;the West, Chinese etc..

ain't beefing tesla, he is one of my favourite

HVDC has come to stay!!

i respect ur opinion, but why i raised up dat point was because of peeps like me. I remember struggling in Chemistry classes back in Sech. school (even till now) because I had a 'lecturer for a teacher'. The dude made it look so complex dat i almost became a tout, he comes through the front door, i leave through the back door

what am i saying, some peeps get scared and intimidated once the first thing they see is a string of complex scientifical terms or theories...some actually signed up to learn, buh they'd be like "these things are above my level" (Johny's 96% youths come to mind )
some actually have the idea of things discussed, but because they cant quote like wikipedia or write like Newton (especially when they see others dissecting questions seamlessly) they just loose motivation to keep up. hence the numerous ghost readers.

I liked the first article u wrote here that braine atom photons ish...i love the concept, the way u played with it but still not compromising the real facts..it attracted people and they wanted to know more, now dats what am talking about....

well its just my opinion sha...but understand dat not everyone must have an high IQ e.g, after kowalski's numerous attempt at a project, Private suggested he add sugar (cuz the mixture wasnt sweet...lol) but he was right as kowalski shouted EUREKA, he then explained the action of glucose on the something he was doing he den called Private a genius, dat made the little guy chuckle... (from penguins of madagascar. . .yeah i watch cartoons alot )
lets draw people closer, lets make them feel comfortable...i will tag some of my fellow uniben aspirants here so they can discover this thread too .

You are definitely high on a cow dung.
Do you think there's a job for someone with weak G.P?
I only faf and while away my time(s) on Nairaland when i am less busy or done with semester.
As for now, I recently resumed and you don't expect me to come online discussing trivialities.
As for your feminism reference, pray tell, did ALL feminists discuss with you that they are science-inclined? Even though I am.

Such pettiness! And I'm not sure this thread welcomes medicine-oriented.

it seems everyone here is getting into the habit of customizing their text. Well, I might as well join in.



Ah, there we go

Now. We know in radioactivity, there are three kinds of spontaneous radiation. Of these, two are charged. We know them to be the beta particles, which are electrons, and Alpha particles. Using solid state physics, we can trap these charges. And convert them into current electricity. The main concept is not difficult. However, nature is a bitch and as such, problems and complications arise when putting a beta voltaic to practical use.

The below is a list of its problems which I found in a suite where it was suggested the tech be used to power phones.



My intention is to bypass these disadvantages and make the atomic battery a reality.

[I]And how do you intend bypassing these numerous disadvantages [/I]

robin hez . . . You are a genius!
I've honestly never thought of this . . . I simply assumed that they ought to just get along.
Well, new rules, i will try to use more mainstream vocabulary and i will attach pictures where there is no simpler grammer.
the reason i'm actually like this is because i spend a lot of time on graduate science forums. I seem to have forgotten my pals.

Anyway. Since you liked the brane concept, i will try to bring up something cool like that. Maybe on mathematics or medicine.

Meanwhile, i love penguins of madagascar kowalski na die.

i also noticed johnydon's 96 percent youths love money.
time to burst out the science of RAW CASH.



cheers!
