How can we define one Newton ?
How can we define one Newton? (Asked Pawas Rituja) One newton is defined as that force which when acts on a body of mass 1 kg produces an acceleration of 1 m/s^2 in it Incoming search terms:if you set up your pendulum atop mount everest would the period be less than the same as or greater thanit would [...]

Stringtheory or M theory
Ruben Myrhagen asks”I’ve watched some documentaries about this theory.. from what i could understand ( wich may be little) those tiny strings determine the form of the atom ( i mean if its gas-water or anything) would it be possible to manipulate these vibrating strings to create whatever we want ? like water. gas or [...]
