    That was some scandal that I forget the name of. <span id='postcolor'>

    Actually, the US was against Iran during the Iran/Iraq war, and was at that time bosom buddies with Mr Hussein (Ah, how they forget!wink.gif.  Ole Ollie North sold weapons to the Iranians, which was something expressly forbidden by the US government.  He took that money and helped fund the Contras... who were the remnants of a corrupt American backed regime in Central America, who were in opposition to a legally and democratically elected government (Oh, wait, it couldnt have been a real election, all those horrid people at the UN that were sent to see that it was properly handeld were there *rolls eyes*) that happened to buy arms from the USSR.<span id='postcolor'>

    The US was on iraq side just because of the public hatred of iran. It wasn't too soon before there was the hijackings from the american embasy. I think the US must have known about sadam's stockpile but they wanted to see iran go down.

    I think it's the fact that we've allready seen it a million times, there are too many chichés, and there's nothing new to it anymore. It's kind of like what happens to the genepool when you inbreed. The best "Bond-type" films in the past few years, are IMHO the Austin Powers movies. At least they make the old clichés funny.<span id='postcolor'>

    but astin powers doesn't make the old joke funny. Same from #2. and guess what, #2 has the same jokes as #1.

    Why oh why am i still doing physics? It has only made me, my world and everything else seem insignificant and challenge my view of the world at the price of many hours studying and my sanity (maybe not the sanity bit).

    btw, i'm not being sarcastic. I truly have no idea why i do physics or chose it in the first place

     1- is there any particles at all, or is everything just waves?

     2- Is there any particles at all (particles with mass that themselves all move in waves), or is everything just probability-waves with a certain energy?<span id='postcolor'>

    This is easy: the particle-wave duality (discovered in the 30's or 60's, not sure which) clearly state that "particles" are both waves and "particles" smile.gif

    This is why Bohr's model of the atom is not considered "wrong", merely incomplete. Likewise, the electron-cloud model is not the whole story either.

    The best thing is that Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle allows you to measure a particle's position OR a particle's vector, but not both, which indicates that things aren't as clear cut as they seem.

    One important experiment regarding the particle-wave duality was done when a scientist used an electron gun to fire it at a 2 slit apparatus, with both slits having a very narrow width. In the first minute, he would fire one electron at the left slit, in the next minute 1 electron at the other and he kept on going for quite some time. When he came back he didn't have the two slits as 2 dark spots on his photographic paper, but rather a continous spectrum of dark spots. This is how the theory of particle-wave duality came into being smile.gif

    EDIT: Here is a website to get you started: http://www.qmw.ac.uk/~zgap118/<span id='postcolor'>

    You don't know how annoyed i am. If only i had read this morning. I was doing this in my all important physics test. What ex-ronin said sumed everything up quite nicely even though we went furhter in. The actually reasoning behind the that last experiment (young's experiment) was that such a small amount of energy, that only one photon or something like that could get through and would therefore be unlike young's experiment despite it being young's experiment. Basically everything with momentum has wave properties but these wave properties are too small to jusitfy..... yada yada

    I shudder when I hear the words 'that was pretty cool' and 'nuke footage' in the same sentence.  When I watch clips like these, I am reminded of what destructive power is out there... and just how horrific it will be if that power is ever used in anger again.

    This is a link to the video that Aculaud spoke of.  There is some multimedia there, including shots of the firing of 'The Atomic Cannon' What the hell were they THINKING?confused.gif?<span id='postcolor'>

    i realize too the effect that where ever it was tested, there will be 50 years of highly contaminated status and another thousand generations of being radioactive. But in all this a see that it may look good. Not that it is my opinion but just a demonstration.

    btw, unless:

    a)you have too much money

    b)you already have adobe premier

    c)you do not obtain your software "legally"

    then don't bother with adobe premier. I don't use adobe premier but i have seen it a few times... so how would you solve this problem in adobe?

    The problem with Vietnam i feel was the all the ppl weren't with the US. Unlike Vietnam, according to stuff a have read, the Iraqi population are against sadaam.
