when there is currently a finite amount of mass that derived from the Big Bang? Shouldn't infinite be replaced with "very large number" instead and maybe make physical description easier?

One spouse is working owning no back taxes, one spouse is handicapped with some back taxes owed. How should I file?

I am doing a project that states a number in scientific notation as seconds and I want to convert that to years/days/hours/minutes/seconds. For example, 1.00E+8 is 100 million seconds and that is about 3.17 year. There are precisely 365.2564 days in a year (or 31558152.96 seconds in a year) and I want a format like "(long) years / DDD days / HH hours / MM minutes / SS seconds".

Note that there are no months since using the sidereal time is more precise. Also "long" in the format years can get very long as the exponents increase. I looked all over for this one and while I found some answers it was for durations much less than I intend to use.

OK, this is kinda weird, but my friends seem to be getting email from me through my Yahoo.com email account. Here is the rub. I just got a new computer and re-install all software fresh. I moved over data manually and scanned it before dropping it on the new computer. So, with all scanners running and me not even on line, my friends got spammed. WTF?

There was another question posted but the guy (Bango Skank, apparently a Stephen King fan) got a lot of the assumptions wrong. I have the following reasoning: E-mc^2. As an object approaches the speed of light it takes more energy to move it. Since energy = mass it would imply that mass would exert a higher gravitational pull. At some point the objects gravity would be so great that it would become a singularity (this is an assumption) at which point it would suck more mass to itself and slow down (again an assumption).

Am I right in these assumption? and if so that sort of blows away the whole idea of reaching the speed of light simply because you would be a singularity well before that. Although it does open up all kinds of thoughts on wormholes.

It occurs to me that is black hole is going to suck things in, the rubber sheet illustration of a black hole has to be incorrect because in fact the "disk" of the event horizon should be a sphere and matter should be swirling all around a black hole and not in a neat "down the drain" sort of illustration. Ir am I wrong?

Also, if nothing can escape a black hole, how do we know they rotate at all?

OK, to find the area of a shape you need to multiple two positive numbers that are also non-zero. (0*x=0 which is not an area) So how would you class all positive non-zero numbers. I would like a simple term to express this to my students.

I do not know why I do it, but about 30 seconds to a minute after I start a meal I will sneeze. I there are no allergens in the air, I was not sneezing before and no one else is sneezing. I smell the aroma of food without sneezing, so there is no reason I know to sneeze. But sure as shootin, I sneeze when I start a meal. Generally it is just one good sneeze and that's it.

Is there some reason for this interesting association?

Here is the thing, I just checked the social security office and it turns out that live male births out number female live births in every decade after the 1930's. I know the life span for women is longer than for men, but that would mean that the balance difference shifting the majority to women would be in senior women. If that is so, why do we automatically think of women as the majority when that majority is only in the senior population?

We have all heard this, in fact we have heard it in Looney Toons cartoons for years. You will know the piece, but maybe you know more than I. It is tentively name "Powerhouse" but I am sure that is not the real title. Also, it is not Merry-Go-Round Broke-Down.

Let me know, have fun listening. Title and Composer of the full piece would be great.

Seems to me that men are getting the short end of the stick these days. In a divorce we get killed and no rights, the media mocks men and makes them look stupid, and women in general seem to regard men as less than human lately.

I don't know, maybe it is an enpowerment that women now feel they can treat men like hell without reprocussions. Maybe they have now learned the lessons men have had to learn.

So, before you thumbs down this question, think about it for a minute and ask yourself honestly if you are one of these women that hate men. Are you teaching your hatred for men to your daughters, by words or by acts?

Think about it and be honest.

This section, the "Add details" does not get spell checked and it really should. Please help us not look like total fools and allow spell checking here. Everyone will thank you.

In fact, ANY text area where you expect to enter more than a few words should have a spell check option.

There are certain songs and tones that cause an incredibly strong emotional response in me. I know that the response is not just an emotional association to a particular song because other songs I may never have heard before bring out the same responses. Often time is seems to be in classical music and then with particular chord structures. (Seems certain suspended forths, or minor forths kick it off.)

Is this a documented phenomena and if so do composers use this intentionally to stir the emotions of the listeners? What is the precise tonal structure they are hitting upon?

All I know is that if I have to find out a bit of information all I do is Yahoo or Google "Wiki subject", and the link to all the answers are right there. I would think that this site is for all the questions (not opinions) that are not answered so easily.

Why are people asking us to do their homework too, doesn't this ruin the point of doing the homework?

This is an enamel work by Marc Chagall, original. I was wondering what it is worth, ballpark. Obviously is it not a litho, so must have been done by the artists hand. Have a cert of authenticity, don't remember who authenticated it though.

I tried this question before and did not get answers that I thought were adequate. I am serious about the question, I think that this behavior is actually significant, but it would seem no one sees it other than me.

You can see this behavior particularly in the evening driving down a rural road. The rabbits line the road and as you approach some of them go suicidal and run right in front of the car. Sometimes they make it, sometimes not.

I joked that it was an initiation rite. Your avarage Buck in a feat of daring do does the "car run" and if he survives gets to do a doe. As tongue and cheek as that is, it does seem to be one of the better answers I got.

But this behavior is not limited to rabbits. Dogs, cats, deer, etc all have this tendancy to do the "car run" and it is disturbing. If we knew why they do it, maybe we could figure out a way to stop it, as in the case of larger mammals like deer or moose (though moose are usually just standing there and we run into them.) Thanks.

It is the only quote that my ex can be attributed with, but it does make a good question. Her quote is, "Popcorn, the only food that smells better than it tastes." But why is that? With such a great smell you would think that is would taste as good.

Sometimes it is simpler to post a table with an answer, and would look cooler too. Or maybe I want to highlight some text with an underline, but can't. Is there a work around like pCode and if so is there are list of available tags.

Many of us process thoughts with "sounds" we use as words in our heads. If a deaf person has never known sound is their thought processing purely symbolic? It would be interesting to know.
