Literally everything you are looking at is held together by nuclear forces. And on an even more defined level, "strong interactions" which hold together the quarks that make up the protons and neutrons.

Ummm...yes. It's what holds all matter together, so I'd say humans didn't have any hand in creating nuclear forces ;)

Strong nuclear forces are the strongest force on earth. Gravity is generally considered the weakest amongst the fundamental forces governing physics.
FYI. it's the force that holds the nuclei of an atom together and the splitting of this bond is how a nuclear reactor "creates" energy/heat.

Me too! Can't believe they used Rise Against lyrics, love those guys too!!!

I figured since I'm a plastics engineer I should step in...the bottle itself is generally made from blow molded polypropylene which has a relatively high tensile and strain (it's stretchy) and a ductile (not brittle) impact given that it probably has a coplymer base.
Thus your dog can chew and chew, and it may puncture the bottle but not tear it to pieces...just take away the cap, since that may be polyethylene based and much more brittle/prone to cracking.
Hope that alleviates some concerns. :)

This is the internet, you get judged whether you like it or not...

Yeah, I for one am sceptical of the increased gas mileage. Engine efficiency would increase yes, but you've also increased the air resistance by increasing the overall density of the air (~20% more oxygen). I think that right there would eliminate any increased efficiency in the engine.
But overall an entertaining post.

Assassins creed teaches history better than school does apparently.

Living life. Plus I don't listen to the radio much when I drive, I just roll down the window and listen to the engine and wind ;)

Awesome. So did you go to CMU then?

I would assume the know or could calculate the density of this material and then estimate the size/volume and then, there you go, you can now find the mass ;)

Me? Umm, seeing as I'm not a civil or architectural engineer I don't think I'm to blame for any buildings...
Also, we were taught to use these programs...its not really practical to do multi variable calculus with implicit differentiation by hand multiple times over and over...so you use programs like this to help solve things quickly and give a better understanding of how changes in certain variables affect the outcome.

Me too. In the Saginaw area. Now I live around Detroit.

Chernobyl is now not anymore reactive than new York city...plus there were multiple reactors there and even after the melt down workers still stayed at the other sites which were in buildings right next doors.
Just wanted to mention this because I've been doing some research on it lately and found that Chernobyl wasn't nearly as bad as everyone thought. Only ~50 people died from any related affects of this incident...not 1000s and 1000s like many tend to believe.

Actually it works for pretty much any level of math. You just have to learn how to use the full functionality of the program...which means plugging stuff in correctly and having a general idea of what the magnitude of the answer should be. We used Mathematica (full wolfram) for classes throughout my engineering courses.

Well I graduated from there, so Im pretty much obligated to like them ;)

It does. Everyone kept telling me I'd miss college when I was done...and nope...im much happier, have less stress (plus more money) and I get to check out FS at work when I get bored ;)

Whooo! Im not a failure...at least not right now. Sure didn't feel like that a couple years ago while I was going through college though.
