This thread is primarily the history of quantum mechanics, so I am not sure if it is appropriate for this forum. I understand that most of the foundational experiments in quantum mechanics were done in the first two or three decades of the 20th century. As far as I can remember, it is hard to...

Mod note: link removed I work in a school district as the Director of Instruction. A parent came to me with a concern based on the video link above. The main point David Wolfe is trying to make is that the technolgoy we are using is harmful to our bodies becasue it is emiting 20-1000 mhz of...

I am starting grade 11 semester 2 and already in the first few days it's time to choose our grade 12 courses, so I have to decide what I want to go to university for to get my prerequisites down :eek:, and I haven't been able to see what chemistry and biology are like beyond what I learned in...

I need some topics to write about for my research paper. I'm writing about how computer science and technology both force the other to expand. The 3 examples I'm writing about now are hardware/processor enabled security (ie I'm comparing 16bit x86 which had no security to 32bit which did)...

What is the difference? My school only offers the technology one. It says you can still take the exams to become a licensed engineer. Will this make an impact job wise? Good or bad?

I've recently become aware of such things where they look at a new technology and try to trace back all the research (both basic and directed) that went into it and the relative amounts of each and such. Specifically I've read about one in the 1960's called TRACES (technology in retrospect and...

What is the difference between the two different degrees, I have only been able to find a few different college websites where they describe the differences but the two different websites had different information on them. I really want to get into engineering and if I do regular engineering...
