Several questions

Hello,

I have a few questions for people.

1. What is the current estimate for how many genes does the human
genome have?

2. What is the current estimate for how many base pairs does the human
genome have?

3. I was told that the more introns that you have, the greater your
lifespan. But if all genes are at fixed loci, how can one human have
more introns than another? It seems to me that loci positions would
restrict intron length.

4. Lastly, in the current modern society, which person has more genetic
"fitness," the one who irresponsibly produces more children than they
can afford, or the one who has fewer because they spend their time
seeking a career, or because they are more responsible?

Thank you.

Periodic table

I’m looking for an "Organic Chemist’s Periodic Table" — one that has carbon
as a huge block and the others small.  Does anybody know a place that sells
them?

Is disperisible aspirin ok to chew? [OT]

It seems to me that "dispersible" is not well defined except that it is
a tablet which will, you know, "disperse".

In practise dispersible seems to indicate a tablet made of a fine powder
which is usually be placed in water so that the tablet breaks down.

QUESTION
Is "dispersible aspirin" different to "soluble aspirin"?

QUESTION
Is it ok to swallow whole disperibble aspirin tablets?

Experiment to prove that the force of gravity does not exist in the nucleus of atoms; either emission or decay rate– microseconds or nanoseconds

Let me provide the background first. To unify all the forces of physics
then gravity becomes a Coulomb force in the Atom Totality. But what
would a coulomb-gravity be geometrically? Algebraically the equations
for gravity and coulomb are identical when we replace mass with charge.
So algebraically they are the same. But we need a geometrical
connection.
And the geometrical connection is that gravity is the magnetic monopole
of Space. Space is a Sea or Ocean of Positrons as Dirac proposed in the
1970s. Space is not some empty vacuum of nothing. Space is a sea of
positrons and these attract ordinary matter (since all the matter we
see in the universe are the electrons of the Atom Totality). So this
magnetic attraction of Space to Matter/mass yields what we commonly
call and know of as the force of gravity.

This history of the force of gravity, excluding the Newton and General
Relativity theories leads up to the final theory of gravity as a
Coulomb force.

But this Unified theory of all the forces of physics makes a very
radical prediction, at least I think it does and could be wrong. The
radical prediction is that the nucleus of atoms does not have this Sea
or Ocean of Positrons to constitute a nuclear-space. And since the
nucleus does not have this "space" that electrons have their space,
then the nucleus, obviously, does not have a force of gravity. Because
gravity is a byproduct of Space and the nucleus does not have the same
sort of space that the electrons orbiting the nucleus have.

Now for the EXPERIMENT that the above demands. The above would say that
since the nucleus has no gravity force, then there should be an
equality of fusion to fission from nuclei. In other words, if gravity
does exist for nuclear particles of neutrons and protons then there
exists a slight imbalance between fission and fusion. If the nucleus
does have a force of gravity, then the nuclei of atoms favors fusion
more than it favors fission. That it would require a tiny bit more
energy to fission a nuclei than to fuse a nuclei. A tiny bit more
energy to account for the nuclear gravity. But if gravity does not
exist in the nucleus of atoms, then there does not exist this tiny bit
more energy to fission than to fuse.

Now the EXPERIMENT I suggested involves looking at isotopes and isomers
of chemical elements and to factor in the WeakNuclear Force but to look
for a isotope that seems to favor fusion and disfavor fission. I could
not find such a case but I did note that the elements from hydrogen to
iron favor fusion but the elements from iron beyond favor fission which
agrees with the idea that there does not exist the force of gravity in
the nucleus.

But perhaps a better parameter for the experiment is not the decay
energies of isotopes but rather the rate of decay often in microseconds
or in nanoseconds.

We compute the force of gravity of a neutron to neutron or proton to
proton or proton to neutron etc etc. It is a very tiny force and thus a
very tiny amount of energy. But that amount is equal to a *amount of
time of decay rate*. So, in other words, if the force of gravity exists
in the nucleus of a isotope of iron. then the decay rate should favor
fusion. But if iron isotopes do not favor fusion but have an equality
towards either fission and fusion would be support for this theory that
gravity does not exist in the nucleus of atoms.

— end quoting Wikipedia on isotopes of iron —

What I noticed from the above is that there is no favoritism for fusion
in that the decay rates are equally balanced between fusion and
fission.

Maybe, perhaps, some chemist or physicist knows of an element which has
the most narrowly defined emission of energy between isotopes seperated
by one neutron. It is a shame that decays do not come in "radio
frequency" or do they? A frequency of emission that matches what the
force of gravity would be in the nucleus. Because if it did, then we
would have direct evidence that gravity does exist in the nucleus. So
instead of emission energy we have to work with time and decay rates.

If the force of gravity does not exist in the nucleus of atoms, then
the decay rates should not favor fusion. From the above, there is no
favoritism of fusion and so I would enter that as evidence in support
of the idea that gravity does not exist in the nucleus of atoms or
isotopes.

Yesterday scientists in the USA revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones.
To prove their theory they fed 100 men 12 pints of beer and observed that 100% of them started talking nonsense and couldn’t drive.

Study resoures in chemistry.. We need your help!

Hi all,

After getting jack of wading through the internet trying to find useful
sites when studying, me and a few friends have decided to try and establish
a site to coordinate study material.  This may yet prove to be a huge
disaster..

We’ve put together a site where you can suggest useful links, with keywords,
sorted by category.  The site allows you to search these.  We also have a
forum that allows posting of attachments and a chat room (which is a tad
ordinary though).  The idea is to get a consolidated site of quality student
resources.  So once you’ve spent two hours finding something, you can share
it with like minded people.

Hopefully one day you’ll be able to find the best 5 sites on frontier
molecular orbital theory as a predictor of chemical reactivity in a couple
of minutes, and be confident the sites will be accurate and useful.

Since its a new site we have no users and no content right now.  We haven’t
even added out own graphics yet (but they will be spectacular)..

What we want are some start up users to post suggested links, and resources
to get it going (we even want comments and suggestions).  I used to hang out
here a bit back when I was studying chemistry, and thought maybe there would
be people here interested.  It used to offer some great help, but I haven’t
been here in ages (years).

If you want to help, the site is at www.pandanotes.net

It’s new and rough, and a work in progress, but none-the-less I think a good
idea..

Cheers
P
