US Naval pilots "We see UFO everyday for at least a couple of years"

It appears even the Aliens know what "dunderhead" means..

The aliens frequently appear in the skies over Scotland, but they've missed out the word Glaikit!

WOW! I'm totally numbskulled. I wonder if there's a comparative list for 'genius'.

 

[Galu]

A greater number of insulting words are used to describe people than congratulatory ones.

Scots use the word canny when referring to genius.

Not to be confused with cannae meaning can not.

As in "I cannae figure out why aliens are so canny".

Just noting...
Personally, if all possibilities except one are excluded, I would consider that a form of proof.
Obviously that means a lot is riding on "all possibilities."

A question for the physicists. When a capacitor is charged, does it gain mass?

 

[Galu]

Charge is simply moved from one capacitor plate to the other - there is no net gain in charge.

To move the charge requires an input of energy which is then stored in the electric field that has been established between the capacitor plates.

A capacitor therefore stores energy which will have a small mass equivalence.

A question for the physicists. When a capacitor is charged, does it gain mass?

Yes, since its potential energy is higher than it was before.

E = m* c^2 or m = E/c^2. If E is higher, then m is also higher.

 

[sofaspud]

So the higher I lift a rock off the ground, the more it weighs?

 

[Galu]

That's a tricky one!

In Newtonian mechanics, the energy transferred does not belong to the rock, but is stored in the gravitational field.

The rock and planet Earth form a gravitational system.

Raising the rock contributes to the mass of the system.

However the longer the rope the same weight hangs from, the stronger the rope has to be in order for it not to fail.


..for reasons totally unrelated.

 

[Galu]

Give you enough rope, Pete, and you're likely to hang yourself!

 

[Disco-Pete]

The longer the better!

But what did they give him to be able to cut and bend the bars?

 

[Disco-Pete]

@Galu, See, now that's profound.

 

[Galu]

Perhaps it was his birthday!

 

[Disco-Pete]

Obviously!


..so why does the rope need to be stronger the longer it gets holding the same weight?
That's a science question, in the universe.



without looking it up!

 

[Evenharmonics]

The weight of rope itself. Longer it gets, more poundage gets added.
