This guy says in his question he is a student in the UK, I think it would be quite obvious he is talking about the “National Health Service” of the UK. I don’t know the answer but finding out would be simple enough, ring the NHS helpline (0845 46 47)
Where'd you get them? I would chat to the people in the opticians about it, in a friendly, polite manner, and ask their advice. Some opticians go further than the NHS requires them, or assume it grants you more than it does, so it's worth asking. Otherwise, I think it's a pair a year if the opticians won't swop them from the kindness of their heart.

Reported human cases (yellow) and animal carriers (red) of plague.
There are occasional cases of the plague reported on all continents except for Australia and Europe. Any place there are marmots, rats, chipmunks, squirrels, or nearly any other large rodent in a temperate climate there is a (usually) small risk of plague infection—this includes the United States, which reports about a dozen cases per year of the plague. (The incidence is probably higher; some people may become infected with the plague bacterium – Yersinia pestis – without developing symptoms severe enough to require medical attention; it's also possible that they may be treated without the doctor recognizing the plague.)

Diptera on Board
What happens if I release a few diptera inside a moving aircraft? Will they hit the rear wall since they can not fly as fast as the airplane?--
202.161.131.7605:30, 27 August 2006 (UTC)reply
You can actually do a similar experiment in a speeding car. (Please don't do it, or otherwise cause trouble, on an airplane!) The next time you see a fly around the house, chase it around a bit to see how fast it can fly, then catch it in a jar. Get someone to drive you around in a car with all the windows closed, release the fly and see what happens!
Melchoir05:46, 27 August 2006 (UTC)reply
Thank you. But I don't think that answered my question. Or, do you mean flies can actually travel faster than airplanes and that's why they will survive?--
202.161.131.7606:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)reply
I mentioned the fly's speed because, to be sure of mimicing the situation on an airplane, you should try driving faster than the fly can fly. But that's not the only observation worth making: for example, if you drive slowly, does the fly appear to struggle? How about if you drive just under its max speed?
No, the diptera won't hit the wall. They'll fly around the cabin annoying the passengers. Seriously though, at the beginning of the flight, when the airplane has finished lifting off, everything in the airplane will be moving at the exact same speed as the airplane. So any object in the plane will not be moving relative to any other object in the plane (including the floor and walls). If you release the diptera, they'll start flying around the cabin just as they would in your house.
Basically, there's no such thing as absolute speed. Who says the airplane is flying at a high speed? Who says the airplane is moving at all? People on the ground say it, but if I'm in the airplane, I don't care about what people on the ground say. I say that the airplane is not moving, because I don't see it moving. --

any major application of heat,internal energy and work
i request you to send me informations about any major application of heat, internal energy & work for my mini project with the real chemistry behind the application.
If I remember my history correctly, these concepts were originally motivated by
steam engines. Today thermodynamics has been applied to just about everything. If you have any particular interest within the physical world, you can probably find a way to build a project around it!
Melchoir06:04, 27 August 2006 (UTC)reply
As noted by
Melchoir these concepts belong to the realm of
thermodynamics. In general no
chemistry is involved. But an application is found in
calorimetry, which is used in measuring the heat of chemical reactions. Basically any
chemical reaction produces some heat, but the obvious ones to produce measurable amounts of heat are
combustion. You could, for instance, burn
charcoal, which is almost all
carbon. If I'm not mistaken the reaction is something like C + O2 → CO2. You don't want to produce
carbon monoxide, so make sure the air supply is sufficient. --

Theory of Relativity in Simple Terms
I know a little bit of high school physics at the most. I am a graduate, but of a different discipline. I have heard several times people, who do not have much to do with physics, talk about "Einstein's Theory of Relativity". I also want to join the talk. Can anyone explain to me, in simplest sentences, what this theory is all about? One paragraph will do. Why does this theory carry significance in areas other than physics? By the way, I have rummaged through the Internet but with no luck for me.--
Mr. Inquisitive08:10, 27 August 2006 (UTC)reply
The absolute simplest explanations are something like this: Special Relativity says "c, the speed of light in a vacuum, is the speed limit for everything, and things like space, time, mass and energy will distort as you get faster and faster to accomodate this". General Relativity says "instead of masses causing spooky forces that attract each others like Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation says, the masses actually bend space and time, and in the absence of other forces objects moving close to those masses travel along paths which to them look like straight lines, but which to external observers appear like curves, and again space, time, mass and energy distort to accomodate the effects of this".
Confusing Manifestation09:23, 27 August 2006 (UTC)reply
It also says that on a cosmic scale the passage of time is not absolute, rather the experience of the passage of time is dependent upon the relative motion of objects. Also it posits that time is a dimension, and the way to picture that is to picture time as a coordinate, along with the three physical coordinates we are familiar with. General relativity suggests that time, mass and motion are inextricably linked, unlike here on Earth where they occur as discrete forces.
Anchoress11:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)reply
I believe, many years ago, someone offered a substantial reward for whoever could describe relativity in (I forget exactly how many) words. Einstein himself refused to enter the competition saying that it was impossible. The theory carries significance in areas other than physics because, at the most fundamental level, everything in based on physics (unless you're of a particularly religious belief). Its significance really comes about however, because it is not really a theory in itself, but a theory about other theories. I probably haven't been much help, have I?
Lol it reminds me of a joke I read somewhere (or at least I think it's a joke), that there are only three people who have ever really understood Relativity; Fermi, Rutherford and Dr Hawking.
Anchoress23:07, 27 August 2006 (UTC)reply
I can understand at least the challenge of putting such a vast theory (theory of theories, rather. Right!) in plain words in a summarized form. I'm sure you guys would have made the most potent candidates of "describe-relatiity-in-words" contest. However, these answers are still a little too abstract for me to grasp, perhaps partly because of my background and partly because of the intricacies of the theory itself. I am still waiting for some more answers to come as building blocks - this time with a few comprehensible examples, if possible. So far so good. Thanks a lot. --
Mr. Inquisitive01:20, 28 August 2006 (UTC)reply
Sorry, lol. But the main problem with Relativity is that there is no direct comparison from the world we know, so it is really difficult even to explain a tiny part of it. Like for instance, the
Big Bang. We think of it as a starburst, like during fireworks. But it wasn't like that, because a starburst is a three-dimensional object. Spacetime has at least five dimensions, and because the universe is so massive, and because it was actually creating itself as it expanded (not getting woo-woo, it's just a good way of explaining it), it wasn't expanding into something like all our three-dimensional explosions, and the tremendous mass was curving it as it was expanding, and curving time. It's impossible to describe, because it doesn't exist on the planet Earth. It's kind of like a cross between a donut and a starburst, but... not. Imagine a vehicle creating the highway it's driving on, on an infinitely curved surface, both causing and resisting almost infinite gravity. And travelling close to the speed of light. Along with an infinite number of other vehicles doing the same in every direction. Every direction, including the two or three or more that we have no experience of in our lives. You see the challenge here, to describe it meaningfully? Especially since we have an imperfect understanding of it ourselves. :-)
Anchoress01:50, 28 August 2006 (UTC)reply
OK, let's try for a simple example in Special Relativity (or degenerate cases of General): the
twins paradox. Suppose you have a pair of twin babies, just born, and you let one float about in space free from any major gravitational effects, and put the other on a spacecraft that accelerates to almost the speed of light, then turns around and comes back. Special relativity says that if you have an inertial frame of reference - one without any accelerations, like the first twin - then while time for you passes at the rate of one second per second, the clocks on things moving very fast relative to you appear to be going slower. So, in this case, the clock on the spaceship seems to have slowed down, to the point that when the twins meet again the one who didn't go anywhere has aged, say, 30 years, while the twin who was on the spaceship has experienced "slower" time, and is still only 1 year old.
Confusing Manifestation02:59, 28 August 2006 (UTC)reply
What is the significance of a theory so far away from life - spacecrafts traveling at the speed of light, babies floating about in space, bending time and space and what not. My question is "Had Einstein not postulated this theory, would we have been living our lives differently? If yes, in what ways? If no, why study Relativity at all?" After all, science is meant to be applied some way, right? Shall we, in conceivable future (in any future for that matter), be able to develop a spaceship that travels at the speed of light and prolong our lives?(-: --

That's an excellent question, but one I can't answer. If no one had come up with the Theory of Relativity, would anyone's life be different, other than physicists and astronomers? If no one had come up with
quantum theory, then the electronics industry wouldn't exist, but relativity?-

As a start on an answer, see
GPS. General relativity is necessary to calculate the correct trajectories of the satellites. Of course, all sorts of modern physics research, which has its own relevances, depends critically on understanding the relativistic world: particularly
particle physics and
astrophysics. It's also directly visible in such things as the precession of
Mercury's orbit. I'd also suggest just reading the articles for examples of their relevance. Does any of that help? --
Tardis17:04, 28 August 2006 (UTC)reply
Step 1. The speed of light is not infinite... [
experiments] by
Galileo established that the speed was very large and subsequent estimates gradually homed in on the answer. We now know this speed to several digits of accuracy (186,285 miles per second).
Step 2. The absence of the ether... The
Michelson-Morley experiment was a stupendous feat. Using an extremely sensitive apparatus,
Michelson and
Morley demonstrated that the
Earth could not be moving through a
luminiferous aether because, to be consistent with their repeated null results, such an aether would have to always be moving at zero velocity relative to the place where the experiment was occurring. This non-motion would have to be persistent across times of day, months of the year, and so on, where we recognize that at different times of day, the direction of the
Earth's motion in its orbit around the sun is (from the point of view of a point on the surface) changing -- 90 degrees between dawn and noon, 90 degrees from noon to dusk, and so on.
Step 3. The need for length contraction... The
Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction hypothesis was put forth to explain
Heaviside's result that electric and magnetic fields are deformed by motion. This hypothesis also "saved" the null result of
Michelson and Morley. In essence,
Heaviside says that the faster an electric or magnetic source moves, the more compressed its field becomes in the direction of motion. The
contraction hypothesis was a particular mathematical form of that contraction that was consistent with
Heaviside's results. A consequence of this form is that the contraction is complete when the motion is at the speed of light. In other words, an electric field source, moving at the speed of light produces an electric field with zero thickness (in the direction of motion).
Step 4. From "mathematical fix-up" to postulate... The
Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction hypothesis was specifically proposed for the electromagnetic force by
Lorentz in 1904. In 1905,
Einstein's paper
On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies was published. In this paper, Einstein takes it as a postulates that (1) the laws of physics look the same for all (non-accelerating) observations and (2) the measured speed of light is the same for all (non-accelerating) observations. The first postulate is known as
Galilean relativity and essentially means that physics is the same everwhere and everywhen. The second postulate is the new ingredient, not contained in
classical mechanics and (only) implicitly contained in Maxwell's equations]] of
electrodynamics. This second postulate creates the new consequences of Special Relativity. The second postulate directly explains the
Michelson-Morley experiment's null result. (Of course there's no difference in the speed of light measured at different times and places; it's always the same because that's just how the Universe works.) Einstein shows that the
Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction gives the correct geometry for moving objects -- not just for the electric and magnetic fields as observed by
Heaviside, but for all objects and fields.
Step 5. Consequences... The prior body of physics, with this one new postulate and the mathematical description of nature that it provides, explains a number of unexpected consequences.
Length contraction in the direction of motion -- so now we know that the nucleii colliding in the
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider are nearly zero-thickness, simplifying the collision (because "different parts" of the nucleii all collide at once instead of at "different times", unlike for example a water balloon, where the water at the "back of the collision" must wait a bit before finding out that the collision is even happening).
Universe contraction -- Switching roles, so that now the experimenter is moving through a "stationary Universe"... If the experimenter is neither accelerating nor being accelerated, the first postulate forces that the two hypotheses "experimenter moving through the Universe" and "Universe streaming past the experimenter" are indistinguishable. Consequent to the second hypothesis,
Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction require that the Universe appear to be contracted in the directino of motion. This is observed for muons produced by
Cosmic rays. A muon normally only exists about 2.2 μs, which wouldn't normally be enough time for a muon to reach the surface of the
Earth form a collision in the upper atmosphere. Practically, we know this because (for example) the
AGASA captures such muons. From the
AGASA point of view, the muon's time is dilated (see the next consequence) so that the particle lasts long enough to reach the detectors. From the muon's point of view, the Universe is so contracted in the direction of it's motion that it will reach the surface of the Earth in less than 2.2 μs. This (apparently) different description from the two points of view is sometimes taken as a sign of "spookiness" about the theory, but this is not founded. The two descriptions are equivalent, predict the same results and describe the same, coherent Universe.
Relative history -- Imagine two particles starting at a point and moving at right angles, say "right" and "up" relative to an experimenter near that point. Suppose the two particles are moving nearly the speed of light. Then, from the particles's points of view, the Universe is contracted in their direction of motion. Note that these two directions of motion are different, so the Universe looks contracted differently to each particle. Imagine two flash bulbs, "above" the experimenter and separated from the "up" particle path by the same amount in the "left" and "right" directions. At some instant, the two flash lamps flash so that their light will strike the "up" particle. From the (stationary) lamps's points of view, their two flashes arrive at the "up" particle at the same time and at the "right" particle at different times because their light will travel the same time (equivalently distance) to the "up" particle and different times (equiv. distances) to the "right" particle. From the "up" particle's point of view, the two lamps are a little bit ahead of it, moving towards it rapidly and the two lamps seem to flash simultaneously. From the "right" particle's point of view, the two lamps are off to its side and the light from the "right" lamp will arrive before the light from the "left" lamp (because the distances to the lamps are different). So the two lamps do not seem to flash simultaneously. Consequently, the notion of "simultaneous" is not a fundamental notion and depends strongly on the motion of the observer of the events.
Total energy --
Newton's equation would predict that the energy of an electron moving at the speed of light (an unphysical hypothesis) is about 0.5
MeV. However,
Betatrons produce electrons with energies up to 300
MeV, so Newton's equation is not the whole story.
Einstein's theory gives which we may expand as . The first term was new, indicated a component of energy independent of the motion of the object, and provided source material for movies, posters, and T-shirts. This is commonly known as rest energy (and is a component of the energy of
nuclear reactions). The remaining terms do depend on the velocity. The first of these it the expression given by
Newton and the rest are high-velocity corrections. For the
Betatron, these correction terms predict the additional observed energy.
Step 6. Integration... The upshot is that at high speeds, the Universe is not as familiar as we might think from our personal vast experiences at low speeds. That the speed of light is the ultimate speed limit for objects to move of fields to propagate disturbances produces changes in the apparent size of moving objects, the apparent thickness of the moving Universe, the rate of clocks on moving objects, the rate of clocks in the moving Universe, the energy required to accelerate an object to high speeds (or the energy of collision with pieces of a rapidly moving Universe), and fusion and fission can release huge amounts of energy, are all predictions of the
special theory of relativity. These effects are observable. Some are corrected for in real engineering systems and others are the basis of the systems (e.g.
nuclear reactors). --

I have to carry out experiments on this subject by placing a living animal in one pan of a balance and the same individual, in a dead state, in the other pan.

Long-term Effects of Fasting On The Brain
How long must one fast in order to effect permanent damage to the brain, and what is the nature of such damage?
How much brain damage were you looking to cause? But seriously, unless there is an underlying health problem that fasting could exacerbate, brain damage would not be likely until one was seriously underweight, like perhaps 10 or 20% below normal. Many people starve themselves almost to death without ill effects to their brains (although damage to other organs like the kidneys and heart is common). Damage comes from the effects of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, including

My mum had a minor stroke a few years back. Since then she's been on water tablets and blood pressure tablets. But on friday she ran out, and can't get any more till tuesday. She say's shes getting a "Thick head" like she used to when she climbs stairs. Is there much risk about her not getting her medication for these few days?
Unfortunately, that symptom is not very helpful without more clinical information. If she is not taking her blood pressure medications, she could certainly have a high enough blood pressure to cause some troubling neurologic symptoms - stopping some blood pressure medications can lead to severe withdrawal-related high blood pressure. If she's having symptoms, she should have her blood pressure checked.

In the US, most pharmacists will sell a person enough pills for chronic conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure to prevent a need to go to the ER for a couple of days while the doctor phones or faxes a new prescription to the pharmacy.

Why risk a stroke? Good luck.

secondary dysmenorrhea
In 1999, I had very painful menses. I would often faint due to the pain (vaso vagal response). I had other symptoms as well. My breasts grew and were very painful. I had a very stong smell in my urine. An ultrasound performed in March 1999 showed what was believed to be a cyst. My gynecologist was not concerned and did not think it had anything due to my other sympoms. I had used Motrin previously for relief of cramps. I seemed to get the opposite effect. My bleeding slowed down and the pain increased. I thought that perhaps it slowed down the prostoglandins to the extent that I was not able to shed the lining of the uterus. My gynecologist prescribed narcotics for the pain which worked quite well. Of course when the narcotic wore off, I experienced excruciating pain again. This went on for months. I was cranky. I was nauseated. I kept dreaming that I was having a baby. I told my partner that I felt like I was pregnant.
In December of 1999, I adjusted a patient (I am a chiropractor). I had excruiating pain and fainted. I had bled through my pants and onto the carpet. I was taken to a hopsital by way of ambulance leaving a puddle of blood behind me. I was told that I had a mass on my follopian tube and as I adjusted the patient, my fallopian tube along with the mass was torqued causing the pain.
I had suregry to remove a dermoid cyst tat was larger than my uterus. My surgeon shared the photos with me. One of the doctors on my case said that he wished he had done a pregnancy test. The fowl smell in my urine was due to the Humane Growth Hormone.
My breasts slowly returned almost to their original size. My urine didn't have a fowl odor. The nausea was gone as was my crankiness. What an ordeal.
It is now August of 2006 and I am having the severe cramping along with the vasovagal effect. I took motrin which I had been taking for cramps. This time, like before, my pain has worsened. The bleeding has stopped. I don't seem to have any of the other symptoms that I had with the dermoid cyst.
What exactly causes my pain to worsen if I take motrin and why does it halt the shedding of the uterus?
I think to find that out, we'd need to be able to figure out why you have the cramps in the first place. It sounds like you need to revisit your gynecologist. Another ultrasound may be in order or at least a blood test (I'm not sure if it is human growth hormone or
human chorionic gonadotropin you mean to refer to!)
