To be fair, though, the American problems is that too many of us are abjectly ignorant of the world[^], thanks in large part to efforts by a certain political party to eliminate, or at least gut, public education.

This thread title gave me a different thought at first like Chris was informing that he got a male baby.
Any info. about his kids please?
|
|
|
|
|
We have information about his kids father, does that count?

Someone out there must be able to answer this (I'm thinking Darlek Dave might have a stab) I'm a bit puzzled by the difference between a Positron & a Proton, they both have a charge +1, does a Positron contain a Proton and something else (such as a neutron) or is it a Proton that has simply left the nucleus sorry...
|

Positrons are antimatter electrons; protons are normal matter positively charged particles.

Ahh...that helps believe it or not (returns to the Feynman Lectures)
|

Look at it this way:
A positron is the same size and mass as an electron, but made of antimatter, so if it comes into contact with an electron, they cancel each other out, and are annihilated (they both cease to exist, with a bit of a bang).
A proton is way, way bigger and more massive than an electron, but has a positive charge that is equal and opposite to the negative charge of an electron (give or take), so if you put a proton and electron together, the electrical charge cancels out, but neither particle is changed.

Hmmm, this is another example of why I would like to study a bit more physics (I left it after A-Level did a bit the first year of my Degree and none since) I have started to read the Feynman Lectures more due to fact he was (to quote my old physics teacher) "A bongo, playing s*x maniac who invented the A-bomb"...

It all makes sense, but initially seeing that sense can be tricky.

The trouble is that the user guide for the universe is written by people who know a lot of crucial details that they neglect to put in -- pretty much like the average software user guide.

mind you at times the user doesn't always need detail...can lead them to break things!!
