Carsons Thoughts

 * NanoscopicWorld

If you took a bazillion dump trucks and moved a bunch of dirt from one side of the planet to the other, what would happen to the planet?

1) The rotation would gradually slow down 2) The axis of rotation would change to adjust for the new center of gravity 3) Nothing.

Avogadro -> MOLE.

Avocado -> guacaMOLE.

Coincidence, I think not!

Your calculation for Avagadros Number is off. I do not have the exact calculus with me right now but, it is off. Also, it is how many molecules equal 1 gram of an element :P. AntmanMike. Sry Trek! I wub wiki. What do you think. www.globaltfc.org/. ? typed with a mac. www.apple.com.

Actually, Avogadro's number can be described a few ways. It is the number of molecules in a mole. It is also the conversion factor between atomic mass units and grams such that one mole of carbon-12 (defined to have an elemental mass of exactly 12 amu) has a mass of exactly 12 grams. No matter how you look at it, the best value for Avogadro's number is 6.0221367 x 10^23 molecules/mole but we generally use just three significant figures (as Trek used below).

HAPPY MOL DAY EVERYONE!!!! Avagadro- 1 mol= 6.02 x 10 to the 23rd power molecules -Trek138854

Carson, thought you might enjoy this. They have a five-bit (er, sorry, five qubit) quantum computer now: http://www.eet.com/story/technology/OEG20000822S0007 --BillKelly

Hey Carson, did you know about this guy? Somehow I think you'll find it fascinating. :-) http://clublet.com/c/c/why?BigOmega --bill

Never heard of him. Interesting.

Here's a good one I just stumbled upon:

Check out this Op Amp gain calculator I just made! http://www.leapfrogsw.com/inverting.php3

This is my favorite site. I can spend hours here reading about philosophy, looking at great graphics, I strongly suggest that if any of you have these interests, take a look http://www.mkzdk.org/ George Brolaski
