Ah yes. I'm sorry, I was stuck on another particle, suggested earlier. You're right though, if I remember correctly, they build labs underground to detect them while using other particles, yes. Much like detection of gravitons. And like you said, that they have an almost nonexistent mass, that would mean, by relativity, that neutrinos are slower than light but yet approach a speed slightly slower. And on that note, I have a few particle physics books hanging around here somewhere.

Dang it! Crafty answer, young padawan. What about... The Tip.It logo!?! Stare at the screen till you get eye cancer? Make a life sized version of it, and then use it to crush people. Muhahaha. :idea: Yes, people can get eye cancer.

Well, when I refer to nature I usually mean other than man. In other words, a bunch of neutrinos crashing into any given matter particle is rare at best, and having enough force to completely split it is near impossible (in nature). Sorry, I should have clarified.

What? We have yet to split an electron or any other particle for nuclear purposes. Detected? What do you mean? I'm saying that nothing nature can do could possibly split something such as that.

Nothing in nature has that kind of energy. EDIT: Sorry! Double post! :wall:

Yup. The Nazis also developed a "sound gun" during WWII. They did? Did it actually work? Don't you think they would've used it then? :lol: But lets wait for Laura's reply They did. But they never did, because they were essentially like setting up something as big as a stage in the middle of the battle field. Sound would come out of two separate "speakers" that looked like a giant tuba. So they were inefficient to set up, and they never could actually kill anyone.

You look younger. :-k

Yup. The Nazis also developed a "sound gun" during WWII. Where did you learn this stuff? O_O What ossillate mean? blown up? Oscillation is the repetitive variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states.

Don't assume that I don't want to build a computer because I'm scared or don't know how to. I'm using this computer for school. I want it to work right out of the box, and if it doesn't, I want someone to back me up.

I stated "near" as well. The fact that it would take large amounts of energy is irrelevant. It has the possibility. You can split any atom. I suppose you could consider it two seperate killing matters, but one without the other doesn't produce anything.

The speed of light defines that it has near infinite potential energy. The fact that it has a mass of near zero defines that it's putting this potential energy in a small area. Splitting near infinite energy is always a bad thing. We just defined that both of those have the potential to kill.

Whoa, wait, what? That's interesting. Didn't know that. So the sci-fi idea of space-sailing is actually somewhat plausible? It's more than plausible, it's pretty much confirmed that a solar sail would work. Problem is that it's slow as hell making it pretty much worthless. That's AWESOME. I also think it's insane how much power are in such tiny little atoms. When people get split, you just get a mess, you know? Light doesn't tend to move anything in an environment such as Earth; there's to many variables. You'd need to be in a vacuum to see it. And, light isn't made of atoms, if you were referring to light. Thanks. :P

If it's injected into your blood stream it could. A single atom of oxygen would definetly not be large enough to affect you in any way... agreed, a single atom of oxygen cant form a bubble because bubbles are thousands of atoms, oxygen can kill you but not 1 atom Aha, success! I win the thread :P Again, don't attempt to use specific molecules such as an atom. As most know, atoms, when split can cause devastating power. In theory, one could use this "one atom" for any sort of nuclear testing or such. That said, you could kill hundreds of thousands of people with one atom. Even more if you split the quarks within the atom. Uranium, at 92, is the heaviest element occurring naturally. No, but it's the most feasible to split, specifically U235.

This is pretty epic, i have the exact same problem WORD FOR WORD, does dell hate us or something? Geez. I just read their warranty and other information. They don't even guarantee you new parts, it can be refurbished or new as long as the computer in question hasn't been used before. I'm looking to buy a new laptop now, the updated MacBook that Apple came out with yesterday. I don't care what the price:preformance ratio is as long as I get a working machine that has excellent customer support.

skin! and i'm honestly surprised that this got to 5 pages! WOW, I made this just to solve a simple dissagreement between a friend and i lol You never specified that this blood required hemoglobin. So, blood.

Don't use any elementary particles, bosons, leptons, or quarks; they can all kill. A particle transfers its momentum to other molecules, ionizing other molecules. A muon does not usually interact with matter directly, they interfere with electricity and knock electrons loose - as is the source of there decay. We know that light can move objects, any object opposite the moving light could kill you.

I love Fanta!

You have no idea what it is like being a boy, especially from age 13 to 16ish. You get random hard-ons. You can be looking at a tree and BAM! You always have a "burden" to carry around. God does it suck. Meh, put a metal sheet in your pants or something. :P

Ooo good one. It can kill you but only if you can reach it, and covering that kind of distance is impossible for us earthlings. I heard the word impossible! :D We could send a family to live on a rocket, forever creating new generations to reach the star. Would kind of suck, spending all those years on a rocket only to die to something that no one has ever died to.

[/hide] That's what you think. Even if you rule out air pressure, you can still die from too much air, so I've heard. Just like you can die from drinking too much water. In that case it's not the water that kills you, but the osmotic balance. With the extracellulair fluid being hypo-osmotic, electrolytes will leak out of the cell creating distorted cells which will eventually die. It's the water that's causing the osmotic imbalance, remember. :P Yeah, its not the electrolytes that diffuse out, its the water that diffuses in, making the cells swell and burst. right? :pray: At first I thought this thread was being directed at Lenin :twss: The water is absorbed into the cells, while electrolytes diffuse out to correct the imbalance. Seriously you guys lost me. are you argueing if it can kill people(or yourself) or not? Anything can, so can water.

I don't think the cells actually burst, it's the electrolyte imbalance within the cell; the ratio is screwed up.

Just single neutrons, seperated from protons + electrons. It doesn't occur in nature, but neither does lots of stuff that could be suggested. And for too much pain, I think (and this is an estimate completely made up by yours truly) that too much pain could possibly overwhelm a Neuron in which case would probably result in more pain, and eventually your brain may just stop as to not feel pain (or a coma or such). Pain itself is only existent so that you can react to things that may be dangerous, like fire. Neutrons are extremely dangerous when free and is generally considered the highlight of nuclear weapons and energy. It's actually know as neutron radiation, and it does happen in nature, as do other forms of radiation. They affect forms of matter directly, and are not absorbed as are alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. Furthermore, exposure to neutrons causes this energy to be transfered to the surrounding atoms, protons, which then go on doing the same to other atoms. This can result in cell death, cancer, and even death. Neutrons or neurons, they can both kill you.

...raining? What? Oh, and as a guy you get MORE sexual and sexist remarks, as sex jokes are told to guys alot more. Ever seen Mean Girls? :twss:

What's with everyone and playing with boobs? They aren't that fascinating. In fact, I'd be willing to wager that most of you would get bored within 30 seconds. If I was a guy, I'd enjoy living without the constant sexual and sexist remarks. There's a 30% chance that it's already raining.

Is it just me or does that remind me ever so slightly of Portal? It's the companion cube! Omg yes. Win =D> I don't see it :? [/hide]Really? It was the first thing I saw when I looked at it. What is the pucture supposed to be?No idea what you guys are saying. I just Googled it. :P
