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 .

This forum is just too interesting. Science in practical applications in day to day activities and possible future use as discussed here is good.

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.

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!!

you said you wanted in on the atomic battery concept?

yes I do
so what's your idea, perhaps, I could see reasons why it just might work

lol..You know why no atheist have tried answering your question, its because the questions are just too many and many of us these days don't fancy going through the same questions everyday..

Anyway i will answer them shortly even tho some doesn't relate to the position of atheism.

umm, well, I don't think it is bad to "want" a certain career for one's child. It's only normal. However, it is extremely unnecessary to "force" your will on the child. He/she has their own life to live.
But that's by the way. I think the problem with Nigeria is multifaceted. And it begins with the individuals. Nigerians tend to praise themselves for whatever little achievement they acquire. There is no healthy jealousy. And average African is more likely to plot to bring down a successful colleague than plot to surpass him. It is basically a crabs-in-bucket situation.
And then there is the "proud African" problem. Honestly, we have nothing to be proud of. Because proud means satisfaction. Or happiness, not wanting something to change because you are already okay with how it already is. This is not right. We should actually be "ashamed Africans"
Perhaps this would push us to do more.
Yet another problem is how we veiw technology. We view it as something so complex . . . so magical and out of this world . . . hence, it does not even occur to us that we can make our own version, or that our kids can tinker with it. If only we could look for old . . . old tech and teach our kids how to combine and recombine them to form new tech junk, that would be cool. For instance, removing the rotor from an old rewinder, the gears from an old CD player, and the shafts of old screwdrivers, and using an old sardine tin, make a motorized toy car! This is a cool project for primary school students. Or middle school. Having this culture, can encourage them to become innovators in the future! But no. We would rather sell our junk to mallams.
Sad, sad, sad.
Well, no hope is lost. There is always room for improvement.

look at this one. I think it is fascinating.

It is a sofa shaped like a cloud. It is just a design concept. No one knows how it would work out. Apparently, magnetics come into play here. But let's just talk about how it could work out,

chai and this is my weak point. Anyways, sha. Lemme try.


Add the whole thing. You get 9 people.

The next logical course of action would be to divide the number of girls on the team by the number above. Getting 5/9 which would be your final answer.

. . . . if the particles undergoing fusion are under the electroweak force

If we find a flavour of particles that do not need to overcome the coulomb barrier in order to undergo fusion, Gbam! A battery sized power source powers your whole street,

Example, antiparticle-particle fusion. The reaction is very smooth and takes place at room temperature.

Teempakguy:
okay. no problem. As long as it is science based.

Teempakguy:
Don't mind them!
Most Nigerian youths are actually selfish and lazy. They expect the government to do everything for them. They have forgotten that the government does not have time.

There is an adage that says, he who has no one to help him, should face his business squarely. But trust Nigerian youths to ignore this and wallow in suffering while blaming some 72 year old guy who has built them castles in the air.

Nigerian youths are intelligent. But they would rather use those brains to double and triple date, scam, cheat, steal, smuggle, and all sort of rubbish.

The morons will see an inspirational story about a fellow Nigerian youth that has made their mark. And the next thing would be to start claiming tribe, or giving excuses that that person was based abroad. Honestly! It frustrates me to see young minds who should be pushing forwarded the economy . . . insulting, exhibiting tribal bigotry . . . shouting that they want war and that they are ready to give their life for secession! What foolishness. Don't they have better things ti do with their lives? That offering it in a violent secession is the next step?

We really need to start thinking straight in Nigeria. We cannot succumb to the crabs-in-bucket situation. We should learn to work with each other despite differences. We should learn to help, we should learn to give and not take. We should learn to pull ourselves up. We should learn to be bright examples for either west African tribes.

Only then . . . can we become developed.

Lol. . . Belief/Unbelief in deity concepts makes no difference in scientific discussions or studies. . Belief impairs no one to study or discuss science except for some who for the so reason of finding some scientific facts contradictory to their belief chose to forgo/dismiss these facts to uphold their belief or superstition

johnydon22:
Welcome bro, Huge fan of philosophy here. . . It is well known that every branch of knowledge has its roots in philosophy even beliefs.

It was philosophy that started or proposed the questions. . and these questions gave birth to methods of answering them.

Religion and theology proposed answers that are meant to be believed without questions.…e.g: philosophy: Why does the rain fall? religion answers: a God did it.

Science approaches the question through study, research, observations and experiment and proposes answers that are always open to more study.
e.g: Philosophy: Why does it rain? scientific answer: Water circle

Not just physics bro, every branch of study was once a seed in the immerse depth of philosophical questions. . . No wonder is it Philo = Love & Sofia= wisdom. . . Love of wisdom
