Good chart, although I'm curious about styrofoam blocks and glass bottles.

All pointing out the need for recycling. Our town has had curbside recycling for a long time now, even though it was disturbing to read that only a small portion of the glass we're putting in the can actually gets recycled.

A little is better than nothing. Getting the recycling ball in full roll is a not-surprisingly slow process.

1. Aminomethylbenzoic acid (acetaminophen/Tylenol)
2. acetic acid (vinegar)
3. sodium hypochlorite (bleach)
4. Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda)
5. Aluminum chloride hydroxide (deodorant)
6. Sodium Chloride (salt)
7. Titanium dioxide (suncreen but I'm not sure what the "squeak" refers to. It is also used in paints and as a food coloring, again "squeak" doesn't make sense to me)
8. Calcium carbonate (antacid)
9. Ethanol (alcohol)

Schrödinger's cat: a cat, a flask of poison, and aradioactive source are placed in a sealed box. If an internal monitor detects radioactivity (i.e. a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the poison that kills the cat. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the cat is simultaneously alive and dead. Yet, when one looks in the box, one sees the cat either alive ordead, not both alive and dead. This poses the question of when exactly quantum superposition ends and reality collapses into one possibility or the other.

Dirty B*astards - buncha cat haters - that's all they were!

Are you absolutely sure?

Are you absolutely sure?

Which part? "Absolutely" is a tough word. I tend to stay away from absolutes.

I'm pretty sure that we see and hear less than 1% of the electromagnetic and acoustic spectra.

I know that we are traveling at an ungodly rate around the center of our galaxy and that our galaxy is traveling on its own, but I haven't check the kph rate.

I know that there are many cells in our body that are not "us."

I know that atoms are almost all empty space.

I know we have 23 pairs of chromosomes, hence 46. Potatoes do have 48 chromosomes. So do gorillas.

I know that the colors of the rainbow (and other things) are dependent upon the photoreception of the viewer, so I have no real problem with the statement there.

I'm happy to discuss any inaccuracies in my, or any other, post.

This is science related, But there is a paradox(I think it related to time) that physicists couldn't solve, and yet an author of horror books(Egdar allen Poe) solved it. I guess it was his day off from 'The Raven'

Are you sure about the Great Barrier Reef???????//

If the brain is unravelled, it will stretch to the moon and back.
Albert Einstein(supposedly) used 10% of his brain.
Lefties die quicker then Righties
Dark matter occupties 80-90% of space.
Anti matter/matter if combined will light up NY City for a month.

What you posted tells us not to judge others as if anything is absolutely true, then goes on to claim certain things are true. So I asked if you are absolutely sure.

interesting subject men/women's brain different. Synapses in the Brain this is a stucture that allows a neuron to pass a chemical charge to another cell. Now as for brains women's the frontal lobe(problem-solving, decisions) is larger in Women. men the parietal cortex( space perception, sex drive) is larger in men. According to scientist, Men are supposed to have 6.5 % of more 'grey matter' maybe maybe not.

HowStuffWorks "Male and Female Brain Structure"
I really doubt these ideas are conclusive. It could be possible for a woman to have more 'grey matter' and a man to use more 'white matter' the science behind this is fascinating. i would read and form my own opinion.

And now, for something, you chat to after Manchester United have won a match(I kid you not).
Nuclear reaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oh boy,, oh boy, neuroscience and Nucleur physics. and it's only 12 in the afternoon her in Dublin. Should anybody reading these articles like to give me a whiskey(straight jack daniels preferred or Southern Comfort (no, not the film, the Drink.) i will drink it like 'The Duke'- Marion Morrison

I assume you spent more on the Ethanol then the rest combined.

There are certain sunscreens that when applied do not have a "speaky" sound often occurring with titanium dioxide.

• This large particle titanium oxide agglomerates ultrafine rutile particles.
• Extremely smooth feeling without squeak.
• Moderate covering properties.

• UV blocking.
• Various particle sizes are available. (0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 µm)
• Can be used to improve SPF when combined with a UV stabilizer. (Booster effect)
