    Good day

    Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

    I need to find some technical data in scientific journals and I hope that people here acknowledged with science will be able to help me.
    1. The tensile strength of carbon nanotubes and Aerogels, what it is equal to?
    2. The general and basic information about Space Elevator.
    3. Amount of Space Debris, especially at very high altitudes, such as 40 000 km and higher.
    4. The amount of Solar constant near the Earth
    5. Data about Young's modulus for various materials.
    I KNOW that these data are available in internet; however I was asked to use the references from textbooks or peer-reviewed materials. Can you help me in it?

    Your best bet is to ask a librarian for help.

    You should be able to get E values for most materials from Machinery's Handbook and/ or Kempe's.
    But, unless you want considerable amounts of other engineering data you'd be better off downloading tables from the 'web.
    Both of those books are fairly expensive and have a large page count.

    Here's a good start:

    Thanks Trooper. Leonard Susskind. I like listening to Leonard Susskind in the same way I like listening to Richard Feynman when they discuss physics.

    Hey it's the day after Christmas. Thanks for that. Looks like cosmology for me. For some folks posting here the 'Introduction to Logic Gates' might be helpful. Me to.

    Good links. He's at MIT with Alan Guth. Looks like he's especially interested in the experimental aspects of modern cosmology. Reading his bio. Thanks.

    The Mechanical Universe

    This is a science series that originally aired on PBS in the 1980s and was produced by the California Institute of Technology. The video quality is about what you would expect from video tape. Content is much better than the new Cosmos program but also has a different intended audience. 52 programs or 30 minutes each. Enjoy.

    I have forgotten everything I learned about Quantum theory since 1951 when I took a graduate level course.

    In the past 10years, I have purchased & read several books on Quantum Theory.

    I highly recommend Quantum Reality by Nick Herbert for laymen
    who do not have the prerequisites background to cope with more serious college level texts.

    BTW: I can no longer cope with serious texts on this subject,
    although I can still do serious work with calculus, differential geometry, & other physics/math topics.
