Reason May says she disagrees with Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital calling it helpful the u.s. President to return decades of American policy calling it a long overdue step to advance the Middle East peace process here's our Washington correspondent Laura because when it comes to the cry from the Arab world from NATO from the u.n. Tonight there's a cry for the u.n. Security Council to meet to discuss this and yet it doesn't matter to Donald Trump with regards to the international outcry what matters to him is what's happening in the u.s.

Supreme champion there's a big called Alfie where you stop to stop halfway up the stairs to catch his breath and his old life off it was a bit of a food. Without saying for sandwiches left on the kitchen. Now 6 months into a strict regime of diet and exercise off a has shed a 3rd of his body weight and its owner Emily Simcox from school has to run. How to run after our last guest that's for sure I can't keep up with him at all but he's back in Sydney again I did start to Carlo Dr Karl hello Dr audit the Fed has to be back here after all I went to the Apollo and hemis myth and as part of the draw and caulks robot in sci annual Christmas saw ensnared at the Apollo we had a celebrity law and up behind says he'll speaks to you know the Motorola days Flo and his celebrity dance line up go go go line dancing included brought in Cox and Chris Hadfield and broad and Jim Al clearly and myself doing the most. Widespread dead dancing probably the balls really throwing myself into it with everything was not designed to legalise it a homicide with Apollo I thought you were going by the Royal Institution as well that was a secret I was going out on anybody when they bring me on the 1st that they actually say and now we have to come from a strike that is the 1st time anybody knows I mean on the bill oh but I went and saw on the Royal Institution website and I tweeted about it a lot of people saw it yeah the questions was so good the audience was so much fun and we did a col this is the audience show with. Their questions were asked of me by myself and the entire audience has been vi this mock phones were able to reduce the on the screen what they thought was the correct as a. To various questions such as the. Situation saw and his have discovered 10 of the known elements which one of these was not discovered by the militant had to be I guess and they got the answer right now got the answer wrong so the real fun not in the kids came it was such good questions and comments. Oh Dr Girls Aloud here are yes I just lost you there for a sec models but in my headphones pulling out or it might have been just the all is d.n. Law and joining us across half the planet it's all better games and here we are as you say. So what a fantastic couple of gigs you had and and you and I went for 2 days or something that's for a lift on the Thursday I did a gig on the Friday night at the hemisphere the Paul I love that room 3 and a half 1000 people who I've seen as many times on law of at the Apollo the comedy show did actually appear in that room I was so on a good and then afterwards after the show G.-Mail clearly blew my mind by explaining possibly how he could have quantum entanglement after we danced on stage together and this is really weird now ego to rough idea of quantum entanglement with particles even though they're a great distance apart and evil is entangled and so anything that happens to one happens to the other one instantaneously even though they may be light years apart you know about that quantum entanglement thing. Yes vaguely Yes it was as I do it oh I really do it but there's a bit of a you have a little subatomic reaction and little subatomic particles go off one in this direction one in that direction and because they came from the same reaction they're linked and even though the light is a pot if you do something to one particle like look at it and he turns out this is a. Particle then instantly many light years away the other particle declares itself as anticlockwise speed and this is being something that really worried on stone when he wrote about this in not in 35 and then Jamail clearly pointed out to me that I also wrote another paper in one in 35 which pointed out that black holes are not singular in other words they don't just exist by themselves they probably linked by something today we call a word now and then Jim said so what if it's a womb whole the links quantum in Tangled particles maybe On Star and gave the answer to his own question and that just blew my mind I was just so happy to be in the presence of somebody giving me such wisdom an inside beat up to you Professor Jim. I I just want to say by the way this is this is to do with a conversation I was having with Wendy Zuckerman about 10 minutes ago and I happened to we were talking about environmental factors in causing you to gain weight and I said well if you're if you're sad and tree like a truck driver you know that have a part to play and I just want to apologize to Charlie k. Because I didn't mean Charlie. That if you if you are a driver you know you're necessarily overweight it's just harder for you I think to to keep it off and he said and he's of a trim 10 stone Nightmist Charlie So congratulations on that and and whatever you're doing it's sadly working and I also wanted to just this is by the by for you dot com But we're talking last hour about the biggest explosion to take place before the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima it was actually the how of facts explosion 100 years ago yesterday yesterday for us anyway the 6th of December when something like 2 and a half 1000 tons of t.n.t. On ammunition ship blew up in the harbor and how folks Nova Scotia and enormous number of people were killed and actually this is really nice nearly a MacDonald writes to us and he says the impact of that disaster even reach Scotland 5 seamen all from the Isle of Barra were killed in the explosion as they worked aboard the u.s.s. Cole which was birthed at Pier they were 3 McNeill's and 2 McKinnon's next of kin says Neil were notified by the how Frank should leave commission but they had to wait weeks until someone visiting the island could translate the letters and finally inform them of the tragic event as part of the commemorations the she had a monument was unveiled at the Fairview Cemetery dedicated to their memory the friends of society organize. The unveiling which included a performance of an original song dedicated to the sailors So thank you very much. So they will have the biggest explosion 2000 tons of t.n.t. Turned off I was nearly 2 and I mean all up they affect was almost of 3000 tons of t.n.t. And explosion was was felt it broke windows 20 miles away 20 miles away and you know Oh my heavens because you see with explosives if you just get gunpowder and the like they called a low explosive and what happens is that some molecules in the gunpowder explode and they turn into a gas and then that then transmits the energy to the next molecule which then turns into a gas and the next moment you'll annex molecule which is in the scale of things not that fast what is fast is a high explosive like in tape where when the 1st molecules of t.n.t. Explode and in turn into a smoke use of gas and increase in volume enormously. Myself a shockwave which travels through the t.n.t. Much faster than the flying front so think about a fog burning in a country thought and it'll be a front with a flame is and in front of it is virgin grass and behind it is burned out stuff and that flame front will advance to the certain speed in gunpowder it events is fairly quickly but not that fast in t.n.t. The shockwave advances very quickly much faster than the flame front and so it travels to the very end of the t.n.t. And I may be a centimeter away maybe a metre away and it all goes off at the same time so with gunpowder you might have the explosion on just because the numbers here it might happen of a 10th of a 2nd but with t.n.t. It will happen over a 1000th of a 2nd so that is $100.00 times as much energy of the same per unit time because being released more quickly and just put in perspective I think what was the what were the Hiroshima a neg a 2nd bomb is about 15000 tons of them say let me let me do the old trick on the new and and make make the point they are going to make and I'll just check that for Ok so a server on the Thursday did the show on Friday and I did a show on Saturday night for back on Sunday and went out in the countryside and wrote this is a truly bizarre country that. People in the United Kingdom live in where just simply to go for a walk out saw you actually have to put on gloves I do a double gloves and a thick out and the beanie on the head Oh good grief Good grief indeed I feel like writing a stern letter to the editor of the country or somebody in value like them come up with something more reasonable. I hope you enjoyed it it's lovely to have a change like that fabulous and the people in the hemisphere the suffering. Lee and I went out and I wife if I had breakfast in a pub you could have breakfast in pubs on Sunday mornings and in order to get wonderful it's not a lovely civilised thing to do it was gorgeous and I tried the local food in the puttings in the thick black sausages and basically just tried everything local I could just to experience it was gorgeous great good for you the answer that we're searching for you're quite right 15 killer tons 15000 tons. Of it Hiroshima bomb and that of course is is small compared to the modern. Yields and this Halifax explosion that would have been during the then 1st world war which is running from not in $14.00 to 1918 so were explosives being made in Canada and then sent across no it was sail away they were coming across the Atlantic I way that doesn't make any sense they must know I'll tell you what must been happening they would have been coming up from the United States they would be made in the us they were then being brought up a tower facts are going to transcript in the House of facts to military shipping which is then going to take them back across the Atlantic to Europe where they would be used. Ok well what a tragedy for Terry when he took over his a fellow's dragon and she has some very interesting point because a holly recommend people listen to them and get educated in a fun way good and I should also have another little small point I didn't think we did this but Tony in Liverpool says when they really cheered me up or I was late to the item I'm pretty sure she should have been calling an i.u.d. And know an i.e.d. You really wouldn't want to mix them up which I totally agree. So if if we did we apologize you from all of us you will have gathered the textile mill is working again 5 o 5 If your text up all night b.b.c. Dot seo dot you k. For your email and if you'd like to go soaring and talk Dr Karl the number to call is 590-9613 so where that let's say let's pick up on a question and let's make it a seasonal one Alan in Northumberland this time of year we hear about the star Sean from the east what Star is it also he says whatever happened to the satellite that landed on the comet. Ah yes Ok. The east is shared with the birth of cross that was 108 talking about Venus you know that one we're talking about Ok a bunch of theories and one relates to some comments about Herod and doing something he says that it was the birth of the Jesus Christ ad and and the clips which happened near a bar I know a nearby in time and so we're going back then several years before the birth of crossed for the his actual birthday now during the Dark Ages in Europe things did go bad and we lost the ability to keep Tom in the calendars and the rules and laws government fell away off the Romans vanished and so it is so that that was part of the problem the guard who got the calendars going again was somebody called Denis exeat us the x I j e u us otherwise known as Dennis the small he was a monk and he tried to get the calendar going again several maybe 7 or 8 centuries after the birth of cross I think that was and he dropped a few yeas So that gives the Tommy the star in the east many many many theories including comets and so forth a fairly popular theory is a triple conjunction of I think it would have been Mas Jupiter and Saturn a could be wrong that was a triple conjunction we have 3 planets in the heavens at the same time and this would have been relatively noticeable to the general public but very noticeable to the astronomers of the time who would have seen this is a very very rare and uncommon event but really we don't know a supernova exploding almost certainly not. The 1st hot 2nd part was a god to the space ship that landed on a comet. Hold the 67 the space ship was called Rosetta the reason that the lending didn't happen as planned was because of aging of organic material so there was supposed to be 2 as speaks of the landing of the Rosetta spacecraft on a comet there was supposed to keep a pin and to the surface of the comet was incredibly low gravity one was the rocket engines were supposed to fall on top of the spacecraft ever so gently and so go push push push not like you mess of taking off from Earth with the space shuttle but just like a gentle push to keep it nice to the surface the 2nd one was on the bottom end of the spacecraft a plug was supposed to get out of the way and then through it was supposed to come out Hopgood spikes and it would be fired into the ground while the rocket engines were pushing and it would then dogs into the office large and then a little motor would want it back on so the spacecraft would be at the correct position on play $76.00 the p.c.t. 7 the comet so that it would get maximum Some lot and at the same time still be able to communicate with us and unfortunately both the organic plugs failed they went hot and so now the rocket nor the harpoon fod and so it bounced the spacecraft landed resident landed did a big bads did several bounces up down up down fall he landed in a bit of a shadow area unfortunately many see a little bit of data back but then not the way it landed on the spacecraft died there on the spacecraft the mother ship can all the time he knew the hovering nearby. And so it it it actually I think it did a death dog on to the comet when it was out near Jupiter up because it was going out further is going to go out so far possible Judah that the solar cells on the mothership which was orbiting would not have had enough electricity from the sun there was enough sunlight and so I was going to die anyway so I measure will make it dawn do they conditions where they could pick up some extra data rather than not. That's says for that's helpful thanks very much. Somebody wants to know if you if you suffer from jet lag we may have had some good jet lag answers from view before but do you have any good solutions on this trip I have 0 jetlag so full of the advise that you and I harvested from the wisdom of the commons in this case the wisdom of the Formula One drivers teams deliver a shift in and they shift hundreds of millions of pounds of equipment and maybe 4 dozen people from one time zone to another and they have to perform at peak efficiency every single week they do it every week and so the advice was Bernabeu critic odd points that are different from a plan to get a life flight seat they had 0 alcohol minimal food just no fat bit of fiber and a bit of protein and then. No blue screen so if you're going to look at a computer make it go yellow on you because that blue interferes I think it was the ganglia know the bipolar cells in the retina that then reduce the production of Motown and and then finally a hefty dose of military from a bottle. I took 25 milligrams about 9 hours before sunrise in your destination and in that case I had no jetlag going over or coming back but there is 2 problems number one if I were to just oddly stay at a gently patent carpet or a tall floor with very small Tal's I would see them begin to slowly ripple in a very mild wing hallucinogenic fact which is disconcerting Staub. What happened last time was I have to modern to take so I have this weird Margaret in which doesn't involve pine it just involves flushing of lard and only have one ever. 4 months on this occasion lost last time I had to in 4 days proving that my brain didn't like being wrenched from one tons and the other and then back again this time I had none and I very I was very careful to make sure I had enough sleep on average for each of the days I was away I had 7 and a half hours sleep which is not as good as I was a lot better than you have for a really push myself to get more regular beauty sleep. Well as your caller says Henry is calling us from Northwich Hello Henry Good morning to alter our Also call Frank you for taking my call. I'm a layman and I'm certainly not soul highbrow and I don't think that a scientific way so it's a fairly simple question it's twofold whether it's a simple I'm. Seriously how do we know that universe is infinite so Ok That one's a hard one but I'll do the best I can as a known cosmologist I'm not profess a great new so Professor Brian Cox and it goes like this the universe is expanding and right further away galaxies are from us the faster they are expanding from us so if you look say halfway to the edge of the observable universe which old the fun and the minute objects are moving it away from us at half the speed of light 3 quarters of the way they're moving in 3 quarters of the speed of light and we would I'm is that we haven't quite been able to build the telescopes that will take us to the very edge of the observable universe that would be moving at the speed of light relative to us now. Observable means as far as we can see so if they're moving away faster than the speed of light. Relative to us carried by the expanding space so they are moving over the fabric of space time but the thread because space time is carrying them away so it's a fair because space time that is moving and it can move faster than the speed of light so it's about 43000000000 lot is to the age where once I go fast in the spirit what we can't see them any more so. The 2nd part how do we know there's stuff beyond it and that one of you on and I'm going to put that down as my homework along with what happens to you if you hold in fog for too long how does sun block work and why is milk white so the last one is you the Henry Dr Henry that was a very deep question how do we know what the data that tells especially I'll have an answer for you next week you have enough sense to find the 2nd part is suddenly gravity disappears what would happen to all planets stars are the same well why would why would they end up. If. Gravity would suddenly vanish you know was in the case of the earth if the gravitational field of the sun were to suddenly vanish from where the earth is then there would be no longer any tendency for the us to keep going around the sun in a roughly circular in fact an elliptical orbit no at the moment the gravity stopped of the sun stopped influencing the earth the earth would then follow Newton's 1st law is just going to strike law and so Newton's 1st law is that every object will do what it's doing unless there's a force acting on it so if it's stopped it will stay stopped if it's going in a straight line will keep going in a straight line in the case of the earth getting on the some the force involved is the force of gravity and that's pulling it from astride law and into a circular orbit Oh yeah elliptical orbit so if the sun would have vanished then the lack of gravity would ripple out towards the edges of the solar system it would hit Mercury within a few minutes earth that i minutes Mas' I think it 15 or 20 minutes and both target at the Pluto that before ours and as the lack of gravitational field reached each planet at that instant the planet which is going to strike law and whichever way it happen to be pointed at that time. Right Honda for Yes Yes Oh so they were they would rather see it in my layman's wise just everything would just all go it would but it doesn't it just goes forward sort of in a straight line forevermore or something not right will with the lack of gravity that. He did let me just take you one level higher so there are full forces that explain everything that we know in the universe this Riah Lichter make neat force involved in radio and television and also repulsion of one item from another because the outer shells electrons Yeah native I said well yeah that's why you don't fall through the floor that's the electromagnetic waves right sources 2 and 3 nuclear forces and they're involved with the nucleus of the atom rather than the electrons and one of them holds the center of the nucleus The together and the other ones involved in radioactivity. Through through the full force and so there is electro made a magnetic strong nuclear and weak nuclear then we have the 4th force which is not happening on the background of the fabric of space time but is a defamation in the fabric of space time so any surprises there there are these 4 dimensions in the universe on quite clearly pointed this out to us and he was quite clearly right he get backwards forwards is the 1st dimension left drop which is the 2nd dimension up there which is the 3rd dimension and the 4th dimension is time which takes away one second per 2nd usually And these 4 dimensions left right back with folds up down and time into intimately into mingle with each other now when you have a body with mass nearby like the sun it causes a dent in his fabric and the best analogy is that of a bowling ball on a try. I so imagine you go to trampoline is dead flat and you got a little model will call it a comet and you fit the model the little bowl of the golf ball goes straight across from one side of the traveling to the other is dead flat but if you have a bowling ball that causes a dent in the fabric of the trampoline and it will then have if it goes near enough to the dent to be influenced by the dent it will change its path it might slam into the bowling bowl it merges lived out around and go keep going or might be caught in a circular or little orbit and the analogy here is that the sun creates a dent in the fabric of space time and so does the earth and all of you with a small bunch of woods which came from to us from. Saudi very clever at Austin Texas John we allow. Mass tells space have to distort comma and distorted spice tells mass where to go so the mass of the sun distorts the space around it and then that distorted space tells us where to go. Well I tell you gravity is geometry Now these of are very big indeed concepts so I would recommend having a little cup of tea to think about them and that they were showing you were you know surely ironing Thank you Henry for the question that's great and as time advances at one second per 2nd so it is that we find ourselves at just after half past 3. From the l.a. Football anyone else this is b.b.c. 5 Live The news comes from Christian you know President Trump says the u.s. Now recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the American embassy will move there from Tel Aviv you know incidents being condemned by Palestinian leaders with President Mahmoud Abbas saying America can no longer be considered a peace broke up the Irish Prime Minister Leo Veronicas says Tori's in May is preparing to put forward a new often only issue of the Irish border within the next 24 hours negotiations with the e.u.

A game like this we should not think that it will be like this now from now on until the end of the anti-life I don't although it ever will be difficult moment for tonight it was nice bunch of the city's 20 match unbeaten run came to an end when they were beaten c one by shocked Antone at Tottenham be Nicosia 3 nil both teams that already qualified as group win as Ben Stokes has been named in the England o.d.i. Squad for them much as against Australia in January alongside batsman Alex Hales is a cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew to say this is a confusing situation is an understatement the e.c.b. Had said that Stokes and hails are unavailable for selection until further notice technically Stokes is part of this Ashes squad it doesn't seem likely that he'll play either in this or the one day series until he is cleared or possibly even charged following his arrest for allegedly causing actual bodily harm in Bristol in September even then there's an easy be disciplinary process that follows a c.p.s. Decision that a c.b. Inquiry will also involve an investigation into Hales involvement that night he's been named in the squad but like Stokes isn't guaranteed actually to play wooden buildings added to the squad that played against the West Indies jockey Hayley Turner is to face a British Horseracing Authority inquiry later this month after being charged with breaching betting rules the 34 year old is sent to be devastated and deeply embarrassed at the u.k.

Good example of an old for this would also get more from b.b.c. 5 live for us for news and the Basque law school this is b.b.c. 5 Live. With Shaab. Very glad actually to have confirmation of my Syria our way are about the moment longer which blew up and how facts Harbor 100 years ago from Kit Kat on a windy a one kickout says if memory serves correctly the Montblanc was going to how a fax to join a convoy across the Atlantic being an older ship Dr Carol she was fairly slow and had to find a convoy that she could keep up with so there were. That was what happened and that was why and that must have been one crowded Harbor and no wonder the captain was nervous going into it so here we are and a question here from Mark in Leeds he says I have been reading about the so-called Philadelphia Experiment is this yet another hoax or is there any chance it happened a Philadelphia Experiment. Yes it goes back to the 2nd World War where a ship now I can't remember the details I wrote about this about 20 years ago. Are there in Philadelphia hob or cold of Philadelphia I forget which tells you how long of them the story vanished or not it appeared the next not and this is then thought to be. Fact that the Americans developed this mazing teleportation take nosey but the trouble was that everybody on the ship was then lived terminally instead insane and screaming about the demons coming out of the middle work this is one of the variations on Firstly if any country in the world had an instant teleportation technology why wouldn't they use it while he was a secret think in the case of war Hell you could shift so many weapons from one place to another maybe the soldiers the fighters have to go there buy it transport but you just shift through all of the tanks because there's nothing about trying to go inside and it's just a lump of metal Secondly it was a round the time that the various forces were developing the magnetic technology to go against the magnetic mines that the Nazis were deploying so the ship didn't actually have to hit them on it just have to have enough on in it to create a magnetic field as it moved through the water to trigger the magnetic sensor on the mine and 510 meters away was close enough and the. Sheer mass of water being thrown at the ship was enough to breach the hollow and says in the early days to develop this and he make the technology what they did was string was over the saw of the ship in various configurations Until then run various currents through them until they could tune it so that overall the ship had. 0 a very small magnetic field and then very rapidly it went to having the same technology in saw the how but in the early days they were just running the was of the saw the ship this is supposedly at the top of a very secretive nosie And so people would suppose to talk about it and this then led to the hype about the ship being able to vanish in one place and come at another there was a case of a ship leaving one port and the next day being sent to the other port the post because another could have sailed there the military could show that it did silent as sort of as deep as the Philadelphia Experiment That's great thank you I wonder if you've been watching England's disappointment in the Ashes Test. What happened tell me whom didn't go too well. That's next question may therefore be a little bit of a reach but we shall see. Because we have a caller and Nick is calling us from Edgware. Road preparing to moving through clearing to make welcome Mardis to do it this may come a teacher's you may have to explain the writing and quite a lot of depth armors immersion very very. And Arizona danger parts are good ones aren't nor where in the city where the isn't true because that's where you've served. And the wire.

So I wonder if it works or we aren't shouldn't from the both of us are this directors their comments are. When crossing the parts lot truncheon apart. And you would like your scripts to nurture to verify that free kick them out or not. So the snickometer is some sort of super sensitive marker phone that picks up the very gentle noises as the bat just is kissed softly by the bow here right here so you just need take They have several of the or more than once the comet at the peach here service line it registered and while it doesn't register or so you. Know when waking annoyance or something or reaction the central there many thanks is involved you have to actually look at the set up it could well be that the bat was between the contact point with the bowl apparently the bat and the mark of. And so therefore the sound would be radiated around the snickometer rather than towards it which is why you see they would have to Secondly. It could be that these new comet has different distances would not they could distant from the impact sought and so could have been really close to the bat and bowl the impact so I could be really close to one snickometer a very weak sound but it was very close a different picked up whereas the other one being further why did I pick it up there that's at least 2 variables I can think of what I would actually have to see the set up as the how would I do as you're just right yet we did invent something called the infrared hotspot and those are very curious about this that you could see that he did later it was all a cold beer. And I would chasing this up and managed to actually find the person who is looking at this fantastic infrared technology and basically it was just one person in a bad looking at the image of an infrared camera and seeing is a lot distortion and then drawing a circle around where they thought the distortion on the bat was and then both Tom It got to appear on t.v. Suddenly there was this very clear red circle which was stood out from the background with a very clear demarcation which was nothing like the original image that was based upon and I asked the guy do you reckon it every top of the ball actually he said Well now we can sometimes it just gets really close this is what they've told me to do so I think that some of the technology that is used in say what happens in the tali script to Tom's in cricket where bowls come very close to bats I think some of that technology. Isn't that reliable for example in here in CIA's series of Forensic Medicine half the technologies that they use do not exist. My wife is involved with d.n.a. Testing take knowledge forget it the stuff they show on the t.v. Shows just is in no way realistic or accurate and they don't even talk about false positives and false Need is Now I'm not meaning to throw too many. Gods at the studio but I'd like to read up on it I'm sure we can pay to have a good intrigue no no more better for next week so we can say Rose looks Erik's it's possible that would seem to be the conclusion from what daughter calls it in saying they. Will cause a little trouble thank you very much cards of actual questions. Answered Well Dr Carl Little do you know what Waters you're right historic there anyway let's let's move to let's move to other matters Humphrey and shores Bray says Has anybody ever estimated. How much the ways Oh yes quite easy it's an Ev again draw a number of 10 kilogram bricks so you write down the number 6 and then 24 zeroes and that is the weight of the earth in kilograms and that was determined all a century and a half ago or more by a very clever British saw it is called I think Cavendish was at Cavendish modified Cavendish sense right and he got he measured the twisting of why is that had torsion Boz and by being heavy lead balls up towards the end of the bows he did measure the constant big g. In Newton's formula for gravitational attraction and from that we'll get the mass of the. So that's will not it was done ever since we go good so so Humphrey can research Cavendish a little bit further and fire some more Kevin this is the guy who weighed the earth Ok All right. This is from ragin Bristol he says I wrote a few weeks ago regarding this dissociative identity disorder d. Id and the possibility that physiology can be altered or adjusted by chemical reaction in the brain Dr Carl seemed quite interested and use an example of black iguanas on the Galapagos that can and do change their size we know many animals insects fish birds have the ability to alter their appearance color scent behavior to suit particular circumstances and environments to attract a mate for example so why not humans Carl said there you do is homework just wondered if you have any you thoughts no of being very lazy I'm sorry thank you the name but was the official name something the Isleys or something called this associative identity disorder I really sort of Ok this could think of a few variations more homelike unlikely Christmas is coming so it's been most homeowners have a kind of you to spend your Christmas researching that Ok. Here's the scenario from Bill in Glasgow he says is there any ongoing incest in the use of gyros as a source of power. It's just like flying whales that were Bill's talking about it it could be the one hand people talk about Jaws Cubs as a way of creating levitation and he believed the floods through the air. On the other hand a reason why it is still motor mounts of power with a fairly quick delivery thought so if you have a flaw we'll say. 100 kilograms a metre in diameter and spinning very rapidly that can store a lot of energy that we use for a little while in cars as test purposes about 2 decades ago the trouble is that you have the jars cover your face which means going around the corner was different from going counterclockwise and of course. You have what is effectively a very large hand grenade in the back of the car in case the middle whatever is made of loses structural integrity is stuff flying out in all directions but certainly flaw will have a different place. If you avoid in in the overall role of renewable recycling g. And better and energy storage is not a huge place is the battery technology is better because anything was moving parts and forcefully does wear out but they still have a place thank you this is from John Lawrence in Miami and he says since I was most likely sleeping during 10th grade chemistry when this question might have been explained my curiosity persists How does the element age hydrogen flammable gas at normal temperatures combine with the element. Or extension another flammable gas normal temperatures to farm out most vital molecules h 2 o. Water a liquid at normal temperatures which will extinguish the flames of both hydrogen and oxygen. Ah the way to think about it is to think about burnings paper for example we've got carbon and the carbon burns now it combines with the oxygen which is not flammable oxygen is the ox that always are so carbon plus carbon dioxide gives you a sorry carbon Pasok student is you carbon dioxide plus heat plus the ashes of the stuff that couldn't be. Now in the case of Hardin combining with oxygen in this case the residue is not a gas that floats off but it's a liquid so it's what's left after the energetic reaction has happened so you start off with things that potentially higher energy levels hydrogen and oxygen they say for the electrons and they form something that is much shrunken in volume by about $700.00 times the water so the water is the ashes of the reaction Hodgin plus oxygen gives you water plus n.-g. By the way this reaction was used to help get the space shuttle into orbit with the tanks of oxygen the gross in liquid Hodge I think is a few 1000 tons so yes you do end up with water which is when it cools down from steam into a liquid and then because it deprives oxygen access to the area it stops for the combustion from going on in the safe house fire and therefore you don't get any more Bernie So the way to think about it is the reward is the ashes lift of up after the combustion has happened thank you from question. Let's take a call is just from Graham who's calling us from Stockport. Good morning Howard white of all right and welcome Bonnie Dr thanks for taking the coal. Has to do with Stonehenge I'm trying to find out. You know the the the supposed alignment of the external hailstone with the with the winter and summer solstice that if you stand of particular point in the in a circle and look over the top of this so-called heels it's in perfect alignment with the sunrise. That of been the case 5000 years ago when the structure was originally built. So many. Young think about this they're like an incremental shift in the soul bit in the angle of tilt. So I spent. 2 stakes into the ground $5000.00 it is a go to align with the winter but with the summer solstice the sun rise and I tell you that 5000 years later it would last a lifetime and still hold true no it would change over the thousands of years and in half trillion we have used this with the pyramids in Egypt which were lined up to light up with something several 1000 years ago a thing about been a post-al looking a long one saw a cover members so and so it is those long it was something we know by the fact that they no longer line up with those particular stars in the scar that they were built 70000 years back what are you talking about here is the. Event mention if you go to a top it's called precession as you go to the top and you spin a really quickly so it's got a very skinny Basin stalking upside down pyramid and for a little while it is spinning dead through did vertically and then it begins to sort of sweep out a circle it does precession Well the Earth does procession then it does that on a $24000.00 d. Sokal So you go back 5000 years that's a significant percentage of 24000 d.s. And in fact if you have any 2000 years well let's. 112th of the 24000 is and that's enough to shift you one complete Zodiac saw and in the heavens so you're quite right what they're lobbying up with now is not what island up with we have a build which I don't know you say he was 4000 easier 5000 years ago 5000 years ago legislator So it's there's a lot of say there is going to proximately 5000 is yeah. Sure so what are lined up within the lines up with you know now across hoping that will be the case stuff to tell thank you very much and if you turn my pleasure thank you thank you thank you . Now here's a here's a question from Antony who's in Russia. And that's quite important because a sort of a social question. He says about the d.n.a. And genes of identical twin siblings I have an identical twin brother and as many pairs of identical twin settlings we have differences of course from the 1st glance we look similar but our personalities and characters differ and our faces do not look 100 percent alike which helps our relatives and friends to us so far so good and then he says The question is is d.n.a. And identical twins completely similar or are the differences in it and more specifically and this is where gets to be a social question How high is the probability of my brother being gay like b. We live and he's talking about his own society we live in a homophobic society hence I'm closeted even to my brother and I can only guess about his sexuality Wow the social saw is a difficult one and. That's not really scientific but it is very very hard to do it I can fully sympathy was it was happening there was a god 2 identical twin deny this much easier to answer if only we could fix other things as easily so you start off with one EEG and his splits into 2 identical legs and had 2 identical cells and they're identical and then you start copying the d.n.a. And over and over another you copy it and the more times you copy it. The more the chances of errors creeping in by errors I mean that in that day in a letter of law for the 3000000000 rungs on that day in a letter with the man that is being an a.t.c. In g 7 you can have just a single point change where and I turns to a c. Or a g. Or a t. O. Something and these errors increase in numbers as you end up going from a little blast the systole a y. Up to a fully grown human but there are other changes as well not just in the d.n.a. But in their environment so it turns out that the loops in the world on your fingers and your fingerprints are related to the pressure in the arteries that was flowing at the time that your fingerprints were formed of a get what weeks of conception or seem to remember 10 or something broke would be very very wrong it doesn't add up the point is that the pressure. Relates to the loops in the worlds in the end arches in your fingertips if one baby clothing in the uterus has a short lump of short lengths of umbilical cord then it has high pressure a longer length lower pressure different fingerprints so there's nature and nurture beginning even in the uterus much less on say they now in the real world. And.
