Science Rules!!

try www . newscientist . net for a size - make a free member and read the most in depth going article (for laymen) on the internet. (If you're a free-member you can read new articles for 20-25 days.)
Or http:// phys . org - not as orginized, but also ok.

Both sites have different sections like weopon tech, space tech, brain, nano, drugs etc. etc. (But NewScientist has the best comment section, with relatively good retoric and often intelligent discussions)

(and the first one is older than 1 week fyi)

Thank you.

I HEARD they made these.

i had heard about the dna and dung beetles here i read about the tractor beam on some news site

The internet? That should suffice...

We already have the full tractor, why would we need to put it into a beam? Improved farming? I dont see why we need it.

sorry, fucked up on trying to format collums into my post.

keep in mind i'm going from the science fiction standard, not how it probably works

imagine the strains that stuff like cranes have when lifting heavy loads.
the tractor beam would be able to remove the weight leaving less stress

some other practical uses
-air lifting injured from mountain regions.
-Timmy stuck down a well? Not any more!
-removing the junk satellites that now orbit the earth and pose risk of hitting other satellites

with advancement into handheld realms:

military:
-ability to disarm people from afar leaving war having less casualties
-(amusing the beam can push) Moving bombs to high altitudes for "safer" detention


other
-getting that remote with your tractor-beam keyring
- a cool alternative to lavalamps where you just toss objects to float around in there

there are more possibiluitys but i'll leave that to your imagination.

Let me help you out here,

"Tractor"
"Improved farming"

wait.. i'm too tired to think/read what others post right now. good night sir.

tl;dr

Im havin a gigle m8

death star here we come!

So far, the tractor beam can only tug on polystyrene particles in water. Also, because of the mechanism by which it operates, if you were to scale it up for use on macroscopic objects, the intensity of the laser would vaporize the target.

Still, it's a step in the right direction and should be taken as nothing but good news.

The tractor beam is called a Bessel beam, however it can't simply be upsized (It is, after all, just photons acting in a certain way). But I'm sure we'll get there eventually.

Thanks to your comment I realized OP was not talking about a measure of time when he said minute.

The way the word is pronounced is "My Newt", it just means that something's small or insignificant, if you didn't catch on already. I know the pronunciation always baffled me when I first heard the word.

I know the word lol, I just thought he was saying the minute for time.

Alright, sorry for wasting your time friend, I was just making sure is all.

I agree

second that

I'd enjoy that, mostly because it would mean a faster advancement in scientific fields, but he's gonna run out of shit to post, because such studies usually take more than a week.

Yeah, but there are so many fields of science that there is bound to be something interesting in any of them.....

Advancements are happening all the time, and even if they're not particularly important they can still be fascinating. A few weeks ago I mentioned to my chemistry class that it was discovered that a particular mixture of acids would etch crystalline patterns into a sheet of copper heated to exactly 250 C. Though this isn't a very practical or major discovery, it was enough to provide us with 2 full hour's quite vivid discussion.

but then this just becomes useless facts - if there's sources to the 'original' material/articles, or more than just a headline, then it'd be more knowledge per se.
If I don't get a job soon (this week), I might aswell do one my self

Given the enthusiasm this idea is greeted with, if OP doesn't do it I might take a shot at it myself.

Yes please.

It wouldn't be so bad if they linked to reputable sources that proved the facts to be correct.
As it is now, it's just blindly believing in something.
And that's religion.

What do you use when you want to watch porn? Find pictures? Google. Use it.

Not everywhere on google is a reliable source.
Plus, you could quite as easily say that at the end of an essay, but it still doesn't prove anything, if you want people to believe you critically, then provide citation.

You realise that these can all be found with a 30 second google search, right?

Why do you choose to bring religion into this post?

Science isn't about "why" - it's about "why not"

-Cave Johnson

Now don't start mixing science and religion together....

jesus turned water into wine, sounds like a hella good chemist :D don't be so grumpy (pic related)

I love you

DNA not cells

Ohgoddammit.
I'm retarded.
That joke was already bad.
Now I just look like an asshole.

i laughed

I'm getting thumbs and I shouldn't be.

I'm not even mad.

Do not worry, I love you

Hey...hey stranger
....
I like your profile picture

Best pokemon

yup.

I think they found that cancer cells have quadruple helixed DNA strands only, and that it may greatly help the detection of early cancer cells. Praphrasing from SciShow on youtube, so I might've gotten some details wrong.

probably referring to the large band of stars visible on clear nights, one of the arms of the milky way.

No it specifically is the milkyway stars are too dim for them to see. on a fullmoon they'd use the moonlight for navigation.

**ucmerolling rolled a random image posted in comment #2552923 at FJ RPG ** i believe the term is, "rectal thermometer".

"Large Rectal Thermometer" if we're being true to the statement.

Where is the anus of the universe?

**ucmerolling rolled a random image posted in comment #483 at What? Logic? Stop that! ** big*, although the word "big" hardly does this thing justice, it's gotta be more like gargantuan, massive, huge, extra large, xxxl even.

Ah yes, the ELRT. I remember when NASA flew it up in the 70s

I have been waiting all my life for that

You shall be spared.

If you're really expecting true and interesting news from Fox, then you should really lower your standards for FoxsNews.

My standards can't get lower.

I don't blame you for that.

You might find use for this

So, do you come here often?

yes.

I get on too much. You know, who needs people or social interactions when you have the internet.

Heehehheeeee......yeah.......

Thanks, I think I will.

I literally wrote an essay saying just that.... I turned it in three minutes ago.

At least we've nearly got a working component of the death star

here we come future

i think you have found it, the cure for cancer. another great day for science!

This better be on tomorrow's science post.

OH GOD THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT.

YOU STARTED THIS. NOW YOU FINISH IT.

**agrajag rolled a random image posted in comment #2749492 at My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic ** REDEMPTION!

I don't even know what that means.

**Metallicock rolled a random image posted in comment #314484 at Friendly ** MFW I'm just sitting here watching

What if you're not a jew or a christian? There's a lot more than 2 religions.

Just saying, I'm religious (Wiccan, if you give a shit) and I believe in the Big Bang fully.

MFW your religion


No really though, that's cool that there are Wiccans on FJ

Wicca ftw.

Oh yes.

blessed be, muthafucka.

Ew, that is one ugly beaver. or maybe the female timmy turner

Not all all. Objects with temperature (everything in the universe) emit light in blackbody curves, and we can tell the temperature of the object by where the peak wavelength of the curve lies using Wien's displacement law.

That shit, right there, was some science
