peter Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 3)whats a degreeThat would be 1/360th of a circle then? Or, for the even more mathmatically challenged....0.277777...% of a circle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing the point, but I think Mr Mad Hippy meant a degree in the educational meaning of the word? Perhaps the heat is getting to me...

Potassium Neuf Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 That'll be degrees Celsius then, if you're modern, degrees Fahrenheit, if your're older, or degrees Kelvin if you're a real scientist <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 (Engages Pedant Mode) <_< Actually it's degrees Celsius, but just plain "Kelvin" if it's Kelvin. As in 25 Degrees Celsius = 298 Kelvin That's if you're a "real" scientist.... Sorry. I'll get me coat.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potassium Neuf Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I was wondering if there were any 'real' scientists out there who would spot that one <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadhippy Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I thought a degree was 1/3 of a popular 70's female group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 <_< How about: What do you want to do when you grow up? I can think of two good answers1) Don't want to grow up2) Beer or wine tasterfunny my answer was always: "an adult" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 funny my answer was always: "an adult" It's sad but at school I had a friend who always wanted to be a professional dole collector I always wanted to be anything as long as I didn't have to grow up. <_< Oh well, some things are inevitable I suppose.

James Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Oh and back to the original question, what is the relationship between phase and negative time and as such can you prove that time exists in a negative quantity. Taking the answers to the previous questions to account, can you get a negative root of time and what does this represent in he real world?

I'll get me coat.... :){Engages super-pedant mode} Actually, you'll find that while it is 'degrees Celsius' or 'degrees Farenheit' with capital letters as here, it's just 'kelvin' (as opposed to Kelvin - an anomaly as it is nonetheless named after Lord Kelvin). And yes, I do have a science degree, so I'll be getting my white coat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potassium Neuf Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Q. How many normal people use kelvin (with a little 'k') when quoting temperatures ? A. Absolutely Zero <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark b Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 here is a little experiment I saw Zoe balls dad perform, when I was a kid. It amazed me (not hard). kit you will need 1 banana1 cucumber1 length of wood some nails.1 tub of liquid oxygen1 pair of thermal gloves1 hammer start the nails into the wood (with the hammer) do not drive the nails home.put on the glovesopen the Liquid 02dip the cucumber into the liquid 02remove and try to drive the nail home with the cucumber marvel as it shatters. :) (this is where my memory is hazy maybe someone can correct me if I am wrong.)Take the hammer and immerse in the liquid 02 Try to drive a nail home. Gasp with awe as the hammer shatters. :) Immerse the banana in the Liquid o2 Try to drive a nail home.Look dumfounded as the banana drives the nail home!!!!!! <_< (I think that was the experiment dose anybody else remember it. Not sure about the hammer bit. If any body can fill this gap in my childhood it would be appreciated.) Not relevant to the thread but fun! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
