O.o I see...

Okies. *Thinks up question*

EDIT: Shoosh, Ratty.


Alright, this should be easy:

What is ^C908^H1408^N246^O252^S7 the formula for?
What is it used for?
What is it's relation to ^C908^H1408^N246^O253^S6?

(Hope that was done right)

[Ratty]

You've been given 5 minutes. Think faster!

[Bobette]

*Poke*

[Zoo]

Alright, this should be easy:

O_o... only with google (which I thought we were trying to avoid, so I'm not sure I should answer)....


Similar effect, but the numbers are subbed instead of the elements supered: C₉₀₈H₁₄₀₈N₂₄₆O₂₅₂S₇

[Goto]

Well I'm not sure how/why anyone would know this off the top of their head, so I assume google in this case is probably okay.

The first one you said is Interferon Beta-1a, used in treating MS. The second is Interferon Beta-1b, also used in treating MS. They're pretty similar drugs, but are made in different ways.

I hate you guys. >.<

[Bobette]

Goto's turn.

[Goto]

Well rather than crazy quantum physics style questions, lets go with something a little more straightforward. What objects are needed for a Nova to occur?

[Ratty]

Samus' arm cannon.

[Goto]

To stem the tide of stupid answers, I'll clarify that I meant 'nova' in the astrophysics sense.

[Ratty]

Hmph. I was going to suggest a radio next. That lets you listen to Nova. Kinda works. Kinda.

[Goto]

Yeah, that's because you suck.

a white dwarf and another star near enough that the dwarf can steal its material

[Rylkan]

Okay, you have to be clear? Do you mean Novae, or Super Novae? And if you mean Novae, then do you mean Type 1 or Type 2?

If you mean Novae, then Zoo has it, but I like space so I wanna just add a bit extra. It's when you have a binary system in which one star has already become a White Dwarf, and another star, usually a giant at this stage due to the lifetime of the binary. The outergasses of the Giant have filled up the Roche Lobe of the system and have entered the zone in which the gravity of the white dwarf wins. Usually to maintain angular momentum the gas will spiral down into an accretion disk which will deposit some matter onto the surface of the White Dwarf. Due to this, you can get pockets where Hydrogen Fusion can occur on the surface of the White Dwarf. The reason I asked if you meant super novae is because if you mean it going over it's Chandrasekhar limit, then it will explode in a Type 1a supernova.

[Rylkan]

Not my turn, but just as a bonus question that Ratty told me to post, here is what a real science question would be like. And don't worry, I hate it too.
