Intelligence - General knowledge
0
Here's some general knowledge for ya:
It isn't enough to know. I could tell you about quantum physics, religion, meta-ethical principles, evolutionary psychology, torture methods, trivial information about livestock, or anything else that I've learned, but just having that knowledge will only do you good if you're in a trivia contest or on a gameshow. You only need to know in order to be intelligent, but in order to be wise, you must be able to understand and apply what you know.

The human race is evolving again, scientists say that our lungs,heads and height will be increased, plus some say our mind power will be able to practice telekinesis.
Cool huh

A railgun is a purely electrical gun that accelerates a conductive projectile along a pair of metal rails using the same principles as the homopolar motor. Railguns use two sliding or rolling contacts that permit a large electrical current to pass through the projectile. This current interacts with the strong magnetic fields generated by the rails and this accelerates the projectile.[spoilSchematic diagram of a railgun-
It can be shown from the Biot-Savart law that the magnetic field a distance s from a semi-infinite current-carrying wire is given by:
So, in the space between two semi-infinite wires, the magnitude of the field is:
To obtain the average magnetic field in the space between the two wires, we assume that r is small compared with d and compute the following integral:
By the Lorentz force law, the magnetic force on a current-carrying wire is given by IdB, so since the width of the conductive projectile is d, we have
The formula is based on the assumption that the distance (l) between the point where the force (F) is measured and the beginning of the rails is greater than the separation of the rails (d) by a factor of about 3 or 4 (l > 3d). Some other simplifying assumptions have also been made; to describe the force more accurately, the geometry of the rails and the projectile must be taken into consideration.
EASY DEFINITION- BAD ASS ELECTRICAL GUN!

A Chef knife handle should not be a single piece with the knife protruding out of it. In any kind of knife, this makes for a weak handle. The metal should create a set of "bolts" which stick into the handle so more pressure can be applied.
It is not more efficient to move a knife not up and down or forward and backwards, but both simultaneously. This creates more force in the added dimensions causing a cleaner cut. This is especially useful for meats where raw force in a single angle will cut meat, but not as cleanly as the method above.
It is good to sharpen a knife before every use. A knife sharper doesn't actually make a knife sharper in the sense that if you used it on a knife that was never sharp would become sharper. After usage, a knifes sharp end tends to bend slightly, even in opposite directions. A sharpener takes the very edge of the knife and straightens it so that the entire blades edge is straight and aligned.

[size=10]General fact: The reason some ships have a naked lady on their bow, is because they used to sacrifice a lady each time they were to sail to please the 'sea gods'.[/h]

I was going to post some stuff about prions, but all I could remember is that they are mis-folded proteins and can be a part of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (madcow disease). If you try to kill the proteins, you are going to end up killing other, healthy proteins of the same make up. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is the human variant of this monster agent. I remember something about fatal familial insomnia, but not much else... I learned most of this reading a book, then wiki'ing and googling it to see how much of the story was true. It was pretty badass, it had zombies and shit.

I'm bad at Science. Even when I study(which I usually don't) 5 hrs and only know 4 formulas of basic algebra, and not master it.

How does one distinguish between general and specific knowledge? Some of the replies posted in this thread certainly qualifies as in-depth knowledge of a specific topic.

Someone should explain String Theory because I have no bloody clue what it is.

T_T, well, I'll clear my last post. I took 5 hrs because I answered 20 items.
I actually learn in them probably about an hour looking the net but will never learn it from our book. Our math book is made by lucifer or something~
Then, what I answered were actually the last assignment and it's useless.
Me, I'm not going to study much math, it requires so much that's it's not justifying it if I'm not going to be a scientist or something.

Note: The knowledge given here is not that string theory is bs, it's that I heard it was.
Edit: Illumi....I'm pretty sure we have more than 4 women. Maybe only 4 are willing to talk to you.

General knowledge don't use a font re size on an entire post making it smaller. It's a pain for people like me who have eyesight problems to try and read.
