When I first starting going to college they actually covered this during the orientation. Yes, it is considered rape since the person is not in a logical frame of mind and the other person was taking advantage of that fact. Whether or not you agree with that is subjective opinion. They were of...

Thanks, I am very excited for this opportunity. I think if the director of the institution you are applying to is also your modern physics professor, it helps.

I agree, I did some internship work by presenting some scientific findings on a organization's website. All of their data was in the metric system but I had to convert all of the numbers, all of the findings into imperial measurements. It turned out that was my entire job while I was interning...

I recently applied for an internship this summer with the Applied Physics Lab and the Goddard Space Center; while filling out my application I noticed a lot of the projects that I am gravitating towards require atleast some knowledge with MATLAB, FORTRAN, and/or IDL. I just downloaded the...

I would choose the Foundation series by Asimov. They are sci-fi and I like them because they have a little mystery in them and it's enjoyable to see how the story resolves.

Energy is not something that really goes through objects, energy is more like something an object has, like how an object "has" mass and "has" density. In classical physics energy is generally split into two "types" of energy; potential and kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the amount of energy...

I think it's because the general population on the internet is fairly young. I keep telling people that Atheism is not a new thing, but until fairly recently it was generally considered a bad thing to be called so. The newest generation, however, seems to embrace atheism and that newest...

I got a perfect GPA on a semester filled with 22 credits.

I actually talked to one of my college professors about this about two semesters ago. She said it was because, from the viewpoint of the teacher, that is the minimum amount of space required to fully cover the topic. I presented your point, because that's what I felt, and still feel, at the...

If the bully was choking the kid, then I say that the kid has the right to defend himself. Isn't it even taught in some self-defense classes to go for the crotch if you are attacked?

I have always been, and always will be a fan of galactic colonization. I don't care how expensive it would be, I wanna live on Mars!

Someone may have said this already, but, I am in a rush. Christmas has been a Christian holiday for quite some time now. It is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, it did not actually happen on the twenty-fifth of December though it was combined with a Celtic holiday to celebrate the...

They do this here in America as well. I won't be able to go to it because I have to be in Charlottesville for the weekend, but the Community College I teach at is holding a reading of the names of people who died in, I think, the Middle East.

The Doctor, because he IS God.
