Thanks. I wondered about that. I just thought it natural "scatterbrain" writing, like what I do. LOL
I wouldn't say I studied it in depth, but I did study it.
It gets wider and shorter depending on the humidity.
I've seen curly hair made more manageable with a body-wave type perm, which is not anywhere near as damaging as chemical straightening.
I tried a perm once to help manage my curls (Ahem) frizz.
Went for the soft Irish, redhead curls.
Looked good for about a week.
My hair grows remarkably fast.
Had it trimmed at 2 weeks, salvaged it for about another week.
Was so frustrated that I went from hair down the middle of my back to hair about 1 1/2 inches long.
Just cut it all off.
"Picture a bunch of flat ovals stacked on each other, with a slight offset."
There is no slight offset and the ovals are symmetric. There is no way to develop curvature in the long axes naturally.
Hair consists of a bundles of keratin strands contained in dead cells. The only way to develop natural curl is if there's an asymmetric plane that gives a mirror image that can't be fixed by a rotation. That's a D shape. Cells are missing from one area of an otherwise symmetric cross section, because they are never laid down. The generating cells are missing. the papilla is asymmetric.
"I was told that curly hair was oval shaped,"
Curl is curvature of the long axis. The cells being laid consist of keratin strands, all with the same tension in the long axis. To get curvature of the length the normal tension in the cross section must be asymmetric across some plane that can't be corrected/cancelled by a rotation. Since the cells all have the same tension, some area must be missing cells. That means the papilla is asymmetric-D shaped. That D can also be distorted as an oval, or have more, or less D shape to it.
THe 1st IP of He is ~24.5eV. The 2nd is ~54. 13.6 refers to H. He is stable, because it has a full shell. The effect of nuclear mass and spin is on the order of ~0.02%.
3He3 is a Fermion. 4He is a boson. Boson condensates are super fluid.
"t=dKE?"
This indicates c=Hbar=1 and deltat=deltaEkinetic
Is there a way to build a boson still?
BWAHAHAHA!! Meant to say I typed "nucleotides" when thinking "nucleons."
I don't think so. He forms the only liquid condensates I know of. The rest are gasses.
"do you know where this is leading?
No.
One day (hopefully before 2014 when the big cloud gets here)you'll close the door to your space ship - have a glass of orange juice and open the door on Mars or somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy. Light speed to the travelor is instant.
You seem to be well versed in physics, thus someone I can have an intelligent conversation with. t=dKE=m in words is : time is delta kinetic energy is mass, either inertial or gravitational. Can we agree on that? Or as I say in my "time prize" offer : $1000 cash to the first person to demonstrate a time event that is NOT a kinetic energy event. In 20 years of asking, no winners yet... Ok then, do you know what MATTER WAVES are? No, NOT bose-photon electromagnetic waves, the waves that accompany every fermion; hidden, invisible MATTER WAVES, or the "wave function" that physicists often obliquely refer to. That's the next link in the chain. Also, why are the terms "delta momentum" and "rest mass" oxmorons?
Please post your reponses to my previous inquiry about the units in which acceleration is measured, and the units in which the speed of light squared are measured to the thread; I'm not looking for a personal FReepmail dialog, thank you very much.
If you don't post your response, I'll be happy to post your Freepmail to me here on the thread, in lieu of a reply from you. Unless you post otherwise here on the thread, I will assume I have your consent.
Actually, very little of the plant mass (actually an unmeasurably small amount) comes from direct conversion of solar energy to mass. Most of the increase in plant mass comes from the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into sugars which the plant uses for growth.
Go ahead.
And post whatever criticism / counter-point you have as well.
From JustDoItAlways | 10/04/2005 9:17:48 AM EDT readC Squared is a measure of Acceleration.
C = 186,000 miles / second
C^2 = 186,000 miles / second * 186,000 / second
C^2 = 34,596,000,000 miles / second^2
C^2 = 34,596,000,000 miles / second / second
(which is a measure of acceleration)
Which doesn't seem to make sense does it? The E Energy which pushes light, also accelerates it at the speed of light. How can the speed remain constant when it constantly accelerating as well?
Maybe another way to look at it is light is actually a quantum wave. The Photons jump from wave peak to wave peak. Perhaps light is actually constantly being accelerated from position A (wave peak 1) to position B (wave peak 2) at the same speed of light.
Perhaps I just broke new ground by tying quantum physics to Einstein's physics to Newton's physics.
F=MA = E=MC^2 in the quantum world.
By the way, I have a degree in Math.
Rather post my own comments at this time, I'm simply going to post a little something off the web for you to think about and reflect upon in light of your response to my homework assignment.
The Quantity Calculus
The basic principle necessary for the meaningful use of real physical quantities in algebraic equations is called the quantity calculus, although it has no connection with the mathematical procedures of the differential and integral calculus. The principle of the quantity calculus is this:Whenever physical quantities are used in algebraic equations, all mathematical operations are performed alike upon the quantity and upon the unit.
If this principle is followed correctly, then the result of the mathematical operation will always produce an answer which has both the correct quantity and the correct unit.

I know reiterate your original statement, as well as my questions in response:
...and the acceleration is simply the speed of light (the speed of the electro-magnetic spectrum) squared.Homework assignment:
What units is speed measured in?
In what units is acceleration measured in?
If you square a speed, what units is speed measured in?
Would you care to make any corrections at this time?
The pion-beam cancer therapy machines also confirm the equation. (And time-dilation, to boot.)
You might refer to Ronald Reagan's movie, "Bedtime for Bosons."
It's called a "calculus" because "calculus" means "pebble" in Latin.
