No mystery, It's monkey see, monkey no can do. These cults are not restricted to the south sea islands. Most of them have monkey see'd' enough to migrate to the welfare offices where they are given several new names, issued food stamps and voter ID's. You will hear much more about them than you

Plasma is the most common form of matter in the universe. Called a fourth state or phase, (as it is unfamiliar - even alien to life in some ways) - yet ironically, plasma is primordial and the most important state of matter, from which everything derives. The plasma state is defined as a

Jones, or anyone... My apologies if this question has already been answered: Does the radius of the Coulomb barrier change with the size and number of protons and neutrons associated with a nucleus? I wuz wondering if the CB was a fixed constant. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com

Hi Steven, I don't think this question has a rational answer. The Coulomb barrier is a force that is equal to the charge times a constant. Attempts have been made using theory to relate the force to distance. The force appears to drop off with distance according to an exponential

It seem the question that needs be asked is..has anyone ever attempted to model the size of the universe? If, for example, the universe ( all of creation) has a size, mankind may can approach certain unknowns from a science view. If, however, the universe has NO limit in relative size or

Steve, You can see from the Wiki entry that q(1) and q(2) are related to charge via the number of protons, and would make a strong difference - essentially making it more difficult to overcome this barrier without high velocity (or high heat being the same thing) as it is the brute force
