h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Apparently if you do physics at A level the first thing they tell you is everything you learnt at GCSE was crud. I think its like all well and good in theory but its so simplified that its almost wrong.

No I know protons and neutrons stay inside the nucleus as that gives it its RAM, but could the transfer of electrons not be used in order to manipulate items? This is all getting a bit too technical for me, I wrote the bio when I had a much greater understanding of science, I still know what I mean but Im having trouble articulating it.

yeah i heard that GCSE's are really simplified too. i think it's like that for all the sciences and for maths as well.

as for the manipulation through control of electrons, yeah it could work, probably quite easily, but i don't know if it would work through magnetism on non-metal objects. maybe if the electrons are manipulated and cause a charge on the object in question the resulting charge would be subject to magnetic fields created by the gauntlet. however this charge could then be earthed and the effect of the magnetic field would then be useless. for arguments sake shall we say that from now on we'll just take it as red that you can move items through electron manipulation with your metal fist anyway and leave it at that?

i think when the others read this blog it could be a bit mind boggling.

LADY SMASH!

(seriously, after reading all that I feel like I've got the IQ of the Incredible Hulk. Not any of the smart versions either, the big green guy who likes to break things)

it did get a bit technical didn't it?

*Calms down*

I guess I'm just one of the dumb superheros. I can live with it

Nonsense, a bit of technicality is good for the brain, keeps it ticking over.

Don't confuse me, you won't like me when I'm confused

When, exactly, did I pick up Incredidle Hulk tendancies?

somewhere between magnetism and the transfer of electrons.

oh dear, she's going green...

look out! purple tights! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

*dives for cover*

*flies up to rafters and sits on one so she can wasch from a safe ditance*

i thought this was an open air arena. that rafter must be around the edge somewhere.

or it's a cloud that looks suspiciously like a rafter. damn clouds. I see some that look like elephants and all sorts at times.

Hi Frood,I love laying on my back looking up in the sky and seeing what shapes the clouds make.

galigan- you dont have the gcse yet- aren't you tempting fate???

It was 'O' levels in my day and I only got a C in Physics.

Better at Maths, English and French

We didn't do science split apart, we did Double Science which was Chemistry and Biology and then they just threw in physics for the hell of it, I scored a B though, well BB technically. I'm sure Galigan will do just swimmingly

yeah he always seems to love physics it has to be said!!!

i think he loves the teacher tho!!!!
