Note: Some of these questions are incorrectly translated from swedish, so do NOT kill me if you don't get the question.

Why does your nose always itch when you're stepping off the bus?
-The driver uses his magic to make it itch.

Why do you turn down the volume on the car stereo when you can't find the way?
-Music makes you retarded at times

Why do you press the buttons more fierce when the battery's low?
-Because being more forceful makes the battery wake up

If nothing gets stuck on teflon, how on earth do they get it into the frying pan?

-General Failure won the great battle at Mars with his mighty raccoon army. And he's reading it to kill time.

How does the guy that drive the snow plowing machine get to work?
-RUN!

Answers in order:
-it doesn't(in my experience at least)
-To avoid the subliminal messages on the radio.
-Because if you know they are running low, it stresses you.
-Duct Tape. I'm from southeron Ohio, where duct tape fixes everything ;)
-Because sterilization not only gets rid of current bacteria, it prevents bacteria from the person it will be used on from spreading as easily.
-Because these days, no one uses thier phones very often.
-Red.
-Because they're fake(i'm assuming you meant pshychic?)
-So they wouldn't die prior to the actual kamikaze attack.
-If your impotent, you can't have offspring.
-No.
-It only stick when its dry-while inside the tube, its liquid.
-Because people, in general, are idiots (no offense to anyone here, of course.)
-You can't smell ink inside of it.
-Away.
-Very carefully.
-The speed of light.
-The universe imploded upon itself. Actually, as you said at the speed of light, the headlights glow but no light goes forward.
-Because its not really love.
-Because its the people that are rushing, esp. after thier morning espressos.
-Because his mother told him to read more.
-He rides the snow plaw (duh).

1. Sunlight has a tendancy to make some people sneeze when they first step into it. I'm one of those people.

2. To ease concentration and focus.

3. Because you're running out of time and you want to hurry.

4. They super-heat it in the process. It sticks as a liquid. I think...? ;)

5. Common courtesy. That, and there could be a disease that feeds off of the corpse for a little while before becoming airborn somehow...

6. Statistics. Think about it: the phone at your house is likely off more than on. That's true for most any house; the phone will spend more time in 24 hours off than on. So odds are, a house chosen at random will be off (off? out of use) when you call.

7. Blue. You all don't know it, but a smurf once admitted to being green, saying it was the TV's color adjustment that made them look blue. They're green.

8. Because they're very busy messing with other peoples' lives.

9. To ensure their safety on the way to their final destination. No sense in losing a Kamikaze as the pilot is shot in the head 200 yards away.

10. (Don't get the question)

11. "Synonymom" isn't a word, so no. :P "Synonym" could be "Alternate", "Substitute", or a few others.

12. In the tube, it's all liquid/gel. It's not until it begins to dry that it gains its adhesive qualities. Try cutting the tube open sometime, cleaning off the inside, and gluing the superglue to it; it'll work.

13. Umm... I don't. Don't know.

14. Invisible ink isn't always invisible. Lemon juice works as an invisible ink, but it's clearish-yellow. And it's when the pen dries out.

15. The whiteness of snow is a basis of its structural properties, not any pigments in the snow. It's white because the molecules arrange themselves in hexagonal shapes that... somehow... reflect all light, thus producing white light. So the "white" doesn't go anywhere.

16. With British money. The first US bill couldn't have been around yet, but the colonies used British currency well before that.

17. Darkness is the absence of light (and debatably everything), so it has no property of velocity, matter, size, etc.

18. The light from your car would travel away from your car at 2.99798 x10^8 m/s. The speed of light is a constant thing, so accelerating your car to near light speed (at light speed is literally impossible, and I could tell you why) doesn't affect how you or anyone else would percieve the light to move. Both you in the car and Johnny outside watching you go by would see the light move at the same speed.

19. Because sexy underwear isn't love. That's lust/passion. Love itself is blind, to an extent, in that it is often unexpected and not understood.

20. Because everyone wants to rush home.

21. ???

22. He walks... with snowshoes. Actually, he probably has a truck with a plow on it in his garage.




So there, Sweden!


And...

If you can see it glow, light is moving forward. Look, I did a huge project on this for my AP Physics class. The speed of light has literally nothing to do with how fast its source is moving. It is 100% based on how well the light moves through a particular medium. Light, being electromagnetic radiation, is simply two waves of electicity and magnetism moving in tandem. And all matter allows each of these waves to pass through at different levels. That's called the permeability and permitivity of an object. Mathematically, these are the only two things that affect the speed of light (and yes, I've done the math...), and since they are constants of nature, they can't change because the car accelerates.

:o :o :o


I remember that! It was that cartoon network thing! :lol:

Hey..about the speed of light question...if you turn on the lights and look ebhind you wouldnt you beable to see the front of the car AND the car lights?

lol, me too

*sigh* Look, when you give any question involving light or things moving near/at light speed, the frame of reference matters a lot. Where are "you" standing at? If you're in the driver's seat, you couldn't see the hood of the car and its lights by looking behind you. You'd see the back of the car, like always. If you are in or upon an object and moving at the same speed as it is, it will look normal, even at light speeds. The car will look like an ordinary car ONLY if you're in the car (technically, if you're moving in the same direction and speed).

Where are you?




May I just point out that Sci-fi "light speed" has gaping physics holes in many cases. If you're using Hollywood's idea of light speed, you'll be horribly wrong.

Oh. My bad.

I'll admit my prior answer(less than an hour after I woke up, no less) was rather stupid.

However-In a vacuum, one can deduce that there are no factors affecting either the speed of the light or the car(We are also, of course, assuming that this car can travel at the speed of light, in a vacuum no less) would, to an observor from within the car, light appear at all? To me, it seems the answer is no, because you are moving just as quickly as the light, and moving the direction.

Note: This is based on logic and the small amount of physical science I have been taught-sadly, I can not take physics at my school till next, my senior, year.

No, it's fine. Early morning never helps any thinking.

Sorry you can't take any more physics courses... I loved my AP Physics class. The stuff we did was always amazing and... very complicated.

To your question: Actually, there is a factor affecting the speed of light in a vacuum. As I said above, all objects have those constants for their permiability and permittivity (allowing electric and magnetic waves – ie, light – to flow through). The permiability and permittivity of free space, however, are actual constants too.

Permeability of free space: 4? x 10^-7 Henries/Meter
Permittivity of free space: 8.854 x 10^-12 Farads/Meter

(Hopefully, the Pi simbol works)

Through several manipulations off of Maxwell's four equations, James Clerk Maxwell was able to deduce that the speed of light is equal to the square root of the reciprocal of these two constants multiplied together. I know it works because I've copied that math... in a very long-winded process... it was a 100 pt. project or something.

Anyways, my point is that, even in a vacuum, there are still constants of nature hindering the speed of light; that's why, even in a vacuum, light can only travel 2.99798 x10^8 m/s.

The funny thing about it is that, mathematically and naturally proven 50 years later, we can't find a way to make light go any faster. By logic, a flashlight pointing forward on a moving train would emit light at 3e8 m/s + the speed of the train, whereas a flashlight pointing backward would emit light at 3e8 m/s – the speed of the train.

That's where logic dies, because although that analogy is true with tennis balls and anything else normal, it just doesn't work with light.



Here's odd part #2, though, because so far your answer still makes sense. However, this is where Einstein picked up relativity and such off of Maxwell's work. You see, for reasons that... I obviously can't explain fully in a few minutes, which is all the time I have left now... light always moves at 3e8 m/s in a vacuum. Always. No matter what. You see, Einstein, and now the rest of the scientific community, realised that time and space are NOT constant, but rather that light is. As an object accelerates to light speed, Jonny watching this car go by would see that the car is still as tall as it was, but is now becoming shorter and shorter. Light, being constant, forces space to condense as time condenses.

Sorry, I have to go, I'll finish tomorrow.

Ok my question kinda mixes the light speed one and trafic

Where in this world can you get that fast without hitting a car (hehehe... ZOOM!) or truck... or any moving vehicle for that matter.

Actually, it was originally either an NBC or CBS saturday morning cartoon from the 80's. I think NBC... I just had to correct that.

Ah yes, these are question si hva epondered many a night.
