Oh, I heard about that experiment

You'll be waiting for quite some time
Balance is imperative; without it, total collapse and destruction is imminent.

It looks like its cracking on the edge of the drop...then again, it could just be the video def.

Re: Science thread
The biggest result this year for me is the discovery of primordial B-modes. I'd been waiting for Planck to release them since last year, but BICEP2 beat them to it

Re: Science thread
Okay...this is a simple theory.
Granted yes...This idea would not be accepted by the scientific Community, But...I might as well post it somewhere. Before I begin, let it be known I have read the original book. And this Theory has note been Persuasive d by modern interpretations or copy of the story.
But...its about the possibility that the location depicted in Jules Vern Journey to the Center of the Earth Possible existences. I can't start now, but I did think abut this back in high school.

Re: Science thread
I am going to need help though.
Does anyone know a thing about how scientist can calculate how much gravity a planet has?
What I am looking for under that particular subject is the amount of gravitation pull of the Earth Moon, and the Planet Venus. As well as for the Dwarf Planet Pluto.
All I know is it has something to do with either the circumference of a planet or the Diameter. As well as how much mass the planet takes up.

If you know the masses it's easy to calculate.WorldisQuiet5256 wrote:Does anyone know a thing about how scientist can calculate how much gravity a planet has?

The gravity intensity of any spherically symmetrical body in a point outside it is just G*M/R^2, G = 6.67*10^-11, M is the mass of the body and R is the distance between the point and the center of the body (if you want to calculate the gravity on the surface, then R would be the radius of the body).
