Vapor Pressure question
suppose I have a sealed container of CO2 at room temperature, where approximately half of the volume of the container has liquid CO2. Is the pressure inside this container going to always be equal to the vapor pressure of CO2 at whatever temperature the container and it's contents are currently at? Chris W ... 17 May 2010 15:48

9-11 Truth makes HUGE showing at Los Angeles Peace March
Ironhead amused it many betters with the following insanity: Henry proved: And of course, ironhead is "arguing" against both government hired NIST employees and 9-11 Truth experts who all agree that WTC7 did, in fact, drop at the rate of free fall. ironhead is quite clearly as insane as it is dead ... 2 Jun 2010 10:56

Quantum Gravity 369.0: France Relates Elementary Particle Masses by "Number Theory" Equations
From Osher Doctorow B. Tatischeff and I. Brissaud of CNRS France, in "Relations between elementary particle masses," arXiv:1005.0238 v1 [hep-ph] 3 May 2010, have found "number theory" equations for almost all elementary particle masses and also predict the Higgs mass and some additional undiscovered elementary p... 5 May 2010 01:44

The pointing out of black hole failure
Stephen Hawking demonstrated it in the math of the singularity. He said "General Relativity predicts its own downfall by predicting singularities." General Relativity breaks the motion laws of the special theory. Kip Thorne made an excuse for it saying that all is alright becuase "things do not fall faster than ... 19 May 2010 16:02
