Is there a formula for water?

Looking at this picture, everything is symetrical and equal, so there has got to be one.

Will you be happy with H2O??

I'll see if i can remember where it is, but i distinctly remember reading an article about computer programmers who were tryign to simulate this effect and model it accurately using an algorithm or ten million.

And they did quite well with it. hence, the answer is probably YES.
I'll try and track it down.

This thread really should be titled: "Is there anything you ALWAYS WANTED TO ASK Pop Popavich?"

potato is currently studying for his fluid dynamics exam
you should ask him if hes still alive tomorrow

Fluid Dynamics is a pretty full on field of science... it has very full on equations like:

* The governing equations are solved on discrete control volumes. This integral approach yields a method that is inherently conservative (i.e., quantities such as density remain physically meaningful):

Where Q is the vector of conserved variables, and F is the vector of fluxes.


Stolen from wikipedia =)

has lots about thermo/fluid dynamics

^^Sweet, thanks.

Now I can figure out how big the meteor needs to be, the one that I'm going to summon, and crash into the ocean, and cause a huge Tsunami, to wipe out the Yanks.



What is the chemical that makes spicey food spicey?

How much petrol or kilometers do you have when your car petrol light goes red.

All cars the same?

In VT, VX and VY commodores the fuel light comes on when there is roughly 7 litres of gas in the tank, but as Pop says, it depends on your driving as to how far you go, normally 7 litres in a VY would get you about 65 k's, but for me, it's more like 50

 

[Rubber_Duck]

^^^ thats exactly what i wanted to know, hrmm,

However i think im gonna find myself pushing the kilometer thingy, and judge 50 kms to the next fuel pump. meh but in WRX, i think it will give me about 30 kms out of 7 litres

 

[xcidium]

I'm most likely wrong, but wouldn't the fuel efficiency of a VX commodore be worse than a WRX?

 

[Rubber_Duck]

yer, i think you are most likely right, however with my new job in the south, and the fucked up freeway, petrol consumption is fecked for everyone.

I've always wanted to know why veins are blue....
And when you hurt yourself (maybe this is just me), why is the urge to pick and leave scars to bg?

I want to know who gets to make up collective nouns?

Best job EVER!

a gaggle of geese, a a aaaaa aaaaaa shitload of ants.....

right so clearly thats why it isnt me.

 

[CHiLD-0F-THE-BEAT]

^There's a few for ants apparently...
"army of ants
colony of ants
swarm of ants"
I had a story-book about seldom-used collective nouns. Fucking cool. :D.

What is the chemical that makes spicey food spicey?

Capsaicin. Not Capsicum though.

Theres a whole scale and formula for how hot hot food is. Scoville scale. Its determined by how much salsa or sugary water is needed to disguise a certain amount of the pepper to tastetesters. Look on wikipedia, im sure its there.

Tobasco Sauce ranks at about 2500-5000 scoville units. Pepper spray is about 5,000,000 and pure capsaicin is 16,000,000.

Now thats a spicey meatball!

Though I'm pretty sure that a single drop would cause your throat to close over and youd die.

^^we need to test that
who likes spicy food?
