Particle accelerators totally give me a hadron.
Electronegativity totally gives me a permanent dipole!

All sience is good as long as I can blow stuff up.
Physicians would use antimatter, chemists some sort of bomb etc...



And the nightmares return.
Can someone explain to me why bees aren't following the laws of physics, or is there something else going on here?

A physician is a type of medical profession.
I think the word you were looking for is "Physicist"

Do I get my bonus points now

Cool, a shopping list of theoretical physics terms. Now explain them.

Cool, a shopping list of theoretical physics terms. Now explain them.

The Quarks are used in particles called baryons. These make up the heavier particles in our universe. Baryons are split into two groups: Hadrons and Mesons. Hadron are composed of three quarks and include protons and neutrons. Mesons are composed of two quarks, or to be more specific a quark and an anti-quark pair such as a up and an anti strange = K+ meson. The other main group are leptons, these are the smaller particles and some of them have no mass at all, such as neutrinos and electrons.

The four fundamental forces of nature are:
Gravity - Pretty obvious, with an exchange particle known as a graviton ( we haven't discovered this particle yet! )
Electromagnetic - Attraction between oppositely charged objects with a photon as an exchange particle
Strong nuclear - The force that holds all of the neucleons ( protons and neutrons ) together in a nucleus
Weak nuclear - The force responsible for various decays such as the Beta minus decay in the OP

I just had a physics contest
head > brick


Very good! A*
oh sweet so if i write a bunch of physics subjects without explaining/showing i know them i get an a*
forget you ccea im takin over this joint

I can't wait to take physics.

Solve this kinematics problem using only algebra

A speedster passes by a stopped police car at 100 km/hr
Assuming the police car can accelerate at 3.6m/s2, how long does it take to catch up to the speedster?
How much distance was travelled?
And is the police car's speed reasonable?

I'm nearly acing my physics course this year.
