    Moving on,

    Question 3

    What is the term used to describe the theoretical method by which it is possible to detect those black holes which are net emitters and therefore are theoretically losing mass and will eventually evaporate?

    Question 4

    I'm sure there's gotta be some of you who did this when you were younger, to tell me: Smoke bombs are created by combining potassium nitrate (saltpeter) with what common household substance?

    Just wondering if it will work if you use Equal or Splenda instead...:D
     
  12. Well, Phil got it, but since he doesn't want a code I guess I'm going to have to come up with a new, harder question. :D

    Let's see...

    Question 5

    Category: Technological History

    To which early 19th century invention do we owe for the first advance in automation that ultimately led to the creation of the first computer?

    Oh god I m so out of my mind today. may be I was right there. CalC were there in early 19th century. We are living in the early 20th century. Where is my coffee damn it :eek:

     
  20. The Difference Engine was for mathematics, not specifically automation.

    I'll offer a small hint by way of being a little more specific: It was the first device of its kind that could produce different results in the output product simply by changing one thing, and it was a method by which future devices of different sorts would eventually be based around.
