Would it be right to make an analogy concerning the advent of the Atomic Age to ...?
Q. The way the story of Prometheus is given? Just as the Gods kept fire to themselves and Prometheus gave it to the lowly humans for their benefit, so too did mankind steal the method to the greatest destruction from the hands of God (still metaphorically speaking) We now have the methods to our own complete and worldly destruction. So we have taken the place of Prometheus on the mountainside, forever to live with this burden as the eagle tears us apart, only to do it all over again... Could someone also give me the qoute that the one scientist said fromt the Quran i believe. I apologize if i'm wrong here. Pretty sure my question is whether it would be right or not to make the analogy in the first place "dude." Thank you, i did think they… [cont.]

A. I always thought it was a fine analogy, thanks for using it once again.

Is there any difference between 'fresh' and 'aged' wine at the atomic level?
Q. Are the molecules in fresh wine any different from the molecules in aged wine - if they are, wouldn't there be some way to speed this process up?

A. How wine becomes, well wine, is by fermentation. Microbes called yeasts convert the sugars to alcohol in the absence of oxygen. 'Fresh' wine is usually sweeter because many of the sugars have not been converted to alcohol yet... ... Whereas, 'Aged' wine has converted more or most of its sugars to alcohol, which results in a drier, more potent wine. Also, when wine is left in the presence of oxygen (like when you open the bottle and let it sit for a while before finishing it), the oxygen allows for bacteria to convert the alcohol to Acetic Acid (aka Vinegar) which is why wine tastes sour if you let it sit out. So yes, there is a molecular difference between the two. Is there any way to speed this process up? I'm not sure, perhaps adding… [cont.]

The faster you go the slower you age?
Q. In a physics class i remember my teacher trying to explain the idea of the atomic clock actually slows down and is behind the atomic clock left on Earth after it's been flying around in space for a while... and obviously to many black faces But i also remember me asking is that do to with the clock or actualy time (a constant) slowing down? If identical twins were seperated at birth, one being sent to space for 20 years, and the other living on Earth, when the twin returned, would it actually be physically and mentally younger? And then if this is true: If time slows down when they were in space, it would constantly be ticking along slower, so wehn they come back to Earth, how does the time in space speed up and catch up the time on… [cont.]

A. When there is relative motion between two, say A and B, A says B is moving and B says A is moving. A will say in the moving frame of B, the length is decreased; time goes slow and mass increases. B will say in the moving frame of A, the length is decreased; time goes slow and mass increases. It is because they are in uniform motion relative to each other. Now there is a doubt whether the B s clock s hand moves slowly in the frame of B or is it an appearance. B will not feel any difference in the working of the clock. It is A who says that the B s clock s hand goes slow compared to his clock and for him B is moving. Similarly B will say that the A s clock s hand goes slow compared to his clock and for him A is moving. Being… [cont.]
