So far most threads here are too far stretched to be discussed at length. Let's go with something simple (and provable, should you feel the need to) for a change

I'll kick it off :

We all know the higher we go, the lower the boiling point for water is due to pressure changes.
My question: does this mean the water has a lower freezing point as well ? (ie: still liquid at -5c ? )

EDIT: It would be nice if we concentrated on one question at a time, until a satisfactory conclusion can be made.

Morning! Intriguing minded indeed!

Okie...we all know (I think we should know by now) under normal conditions, ordinary water freezes at 0°C, or 32°F. Right? However, if you add salt to water, its freezing point becomes lower. As "foreign" particles are put in, it can affect the outcome. In this case, water.

For your case, as humans, we must understand how unique biological and physiological adaptations are essential for survival in one environment but detrimental to survival in another environment and it goes the same way for fishes too.
(What am I doing??!! Comparing humans with fishes...anyway what the heck, eh? We co-existed all this while) MUAHAHAHA~~~Fillet-O-Fish, anyone?

What we need to know is "The Effect of Salt Concentration on the Freezing Point of Water”. Aduiii...I've done this experiment during my secondary school time before and what I've noted was: increasing the salt concentration means that water can stay liquid below 0 degrees Celsius. Hence providing the possibilities of fishes can survive in a cold and harsh environment! Provided yu know how science experimentations can be used in adaptations like I mentioned earlier in to real life (in this case, "fishes" would be more accurate) practicality. MUAHAHAHA~~~

And it may one day prove effective for humans, too--or at least for human organs. By co-opting the physiological strategies fishes/frogs have evolved to survive freezing I think we can find ways to preserve human hearts, livers, and other organs for transplantation in the long term basis.

I want to see the possibilities of my liver can be brought back to live from a frozen state. It would be nice if I can bring dead people back to live! even in a "zombified" state. MUAHAHAHA~~~ (I know this is far fetch but I would like to share my science imaginations and possibilities with all of yu)

Regards, Joey~~~

p.s: Humans and animals have evolved (or use improvise mechanism/methodologies) many ways to survive in extremely cold environments. I can foresee and convinced that long-term organ preservation will come through mimicking the strategies that nature has already devised. I worked in a Medical Centre before and I have read some of the doctor's "written notes" and saw the possibilities of such preservation.

Even if I managed to answer your question, I wouldn't be the next Newton. I'm a noob compare to Newton. (Sir Issac Newton is equivalent to the Frozen Throne in DotA)

@Joey Christensen



you missed the question completely.

Newton is in the title because he saw things everyone else saw, but asked questions nobody else asked. "Why did the apple fall?" would be a famous one.

Thanks for the enlightenment. Joey~~~WTF??!! I swear I saw the word "fish" somewhere in your Thread! I re-read your posting again after my friend said where the heck the fish came from??!! I felt like impaled by Lion the Demon Witch in DotA!

Okie! I admit I did some gaming till 2am yesterday...Oh man! This is really pawning me! I will keep my eyes peeled after this!

p.s: I will use Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse upon myself! (Izit possible??!!) I apologise upon my "mistake" in addressing your question, Thread Starter. Sorry ya! I felt shitty after this realisation! Became a feeder already...I'm a noob.

is it possible to travel faster than speed of light?

Travel faster than light?...
If ur referring to humans...dun tink so...try propagating anything in speed of light n it'll disintegrate...

If refering to some other "things"...nt sure...still nt discovered?

I think tat at higher altitude, the freezing point/ melting point would be lowered as well...the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure, thus making the H2O molecule require lower internal energy (ie lower temperature) to form the crystalline structure of ice...

Pretty much answers the whole topic.




No nothing can travel faster then the speed of light not just humans.

how does teleportation relate to time travel?

No. The speed of light is a relative speed. It's also related to some space-time bending thingamagick that I don't even understand. You'd have to read up on Einstein's Theory of Relativity to learn more.
Conclusion: the faster you move, the faster light be... relative to your speed.

Unless, you can teleport with zero time.

topic will go on as questions come. feel free to contribute !

ahhh ... the elusive 4th dimension, time

to make an illustration of your point : imagine you do manage to travel faster than light. Then you hold up a mirror to yourself. What would you see?

No experiment can prove this, but physicist generally agree that it'll be your own reflection in the mirror. Hence, the light reflecting off the mirror will still be faster than you (while you're already traveling at light speed )

What happens when you add temperature or heat something up? it melts right ? You heat up ice cube, it became water... u heat up plastic , it melts...

but when u heat up Egg, it becomes harden instead of melt...

Doesn't make sense right? Why when heat up protein it becomes harden leh ? why? So in the case of kebakaran, the firemen just shoot proteins liquid instead of water... will it help? works better than sand right?

When heated, the protiens form crosslinks with one another. Pretty elementary chemistry this is.

no. as speed builds up mass gains weight. unless our body breaks into atomic particles and reaching the speed of light then comes together forming our body into original form when we stop.

the protein structure has been denatured by heat
i tink coagulation occured, so tats y become harden lor
i oso guessing, forgot jor, hahahaa


eehh, harga telur veli expensive u know
afterward cook up so many scrambled eggs in the fire who wan to eat it up ?
u telan all kar ?

Lol protein liquid to put off fire? Yeah it might work, who knows? But who's going to clean up the mess after that?

everything would break down traveling at the speed of light.

Is protein the only substance that will harden when applied heat?

we can always derma to those orang miskin kat bosnia.. they are soooo thin and no food, protein is what they really need right?

maybe with some research, we can have a 'protein-magnet' kind of thing that will suck all the protein in a single shot... so it;s reusable.

There are all sorts of substances which react differently to heat. To wide to go through one by one.

No, once protein's are denatured, you cannot reuse them. Simply like, you cannot uncook the meat you just cooked.

yeah ! u are right LOL.... we couldn't 'melt' protein.. i guess only human body can convert protein... ok donate to bosnia kids la =P
