The Environment / Re: Would limiting population be the best solution for climate change and violence?
« on: 19/10/2016 20:09:24 »
Population growth is a disaster in the making, especially in India and Africa. The average family size in sub-Saharan Africa is 4.5 children which is unsustainable, and will lead to even more problems than exist already, which are substantial.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: What would be the transit time to Mars with unlimited power?

Quote from: alancalverd on 28/09/2016 17:54:40
s = 0.5 a t^2 where s = distance, a = acceleration and t = time (you did that at school, surely?)

Minimum transit distance is probably 10^11 meters. Put a = 20 m/s^2 (a bit more than 2g) then t^2 = 10^10 so t = 10^5 seconds, just over a day.

You don't need to be sarcastic.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: Is using a microwave oven harmful?
« on: 10/09/2016 21:08:13 »
None in either case. I bought my microwave in 1987 and my mobile in 2002.....
