Too many things can go wrong. I don't think you can just chop and change DNA like that.

I guess what they did in the movie Armageddon wouldn't have worked in real life [B)]

Yes I suppose it would be rather hard to calculate even as a purely theoretical exercise.

How big does an asteroid need to be so that when you blow it up, its own gravity pulls it back together?

There needs to be a new definition of 'pundit' as in "someone who offers advice on how to pun(ed) it" []

Technology / How does a car measure how much petrol it has left in the tank?
« on: 27/01/2012 12:05:00 »
When I am nearly out of petrol (gas) I often see the yellow petrol tank symbol telling me to fill up the car, but I have noticed that when I park on a gradient for a while, the little symbol is gone but after a bit of driving it comes up again. This made me curious as to how the car detects the amount of petrol, and why this is affected by parking on a slope.
