What does the formation of heavy elements tell us about the age of the solar system?
Q. What does the fact that heavier elements are formed from supernovas tell us about the age of our solar system? Part of my physics project - I need a few pointers as I'm a bit stuck! All I can think of is that it tells us our solar system is ancient because supernovas happen after billions of years of a sun being 'stable'. Is that on the right track? So if these elements are only produced from supernovas, then does that make them virtually non-renewable?

A. In the early days of the universe, all that existed was hydrogen, helium and traces of lithium. That's all. All other element were formed in the core of stars and was liberated when those stars went supernova. The heavier elements enriched the cosmic gas, which can then form solar systems and planets with a higher proportion of those. Therefore, given that our system has a fair amount of heavier elements (oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, iron, etc.) then it has to have formed from gas that had been around quite a bit (actually, estimations are that our sun is a 3rd generation star), therefore cannot be as old as the universe, since it had to wait for those 1st and 2nd generation stars to go supernova to provide the raw material. So, it is a (rela [cont.]

What does this recent change tell us about Russia's economic goals for the 21st century?
Q. In recent years Russia has adopted the use of the market in many situations in order to improve the performance of its economy. This change is a drastic one for a government that has for many years refused to adopt decentralized decision making, calling it inconsistent with its political and social values. What does this recent change tell us about Russia's economic goals for the 21st century?

A. Essentially, that Russia is trying to mirror the successes of the American Economy by adopting a market system more closely oriented to America's. The most successful (non-oil) economies in the world are market economies rather than economies focused on centralized decision making. Russia realizes this, and is trying to play catchup.

Q. My friend lives in Africa and I want to her to study in the US with me( I am a US citizen) as a international student. How do I go about making that happen? Or what steps would I need to take?
Asked by Queen X - Tue Aug 19 18:01:42 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. first of all your friend needs to figure out what course or degree she needs to go in for and which area/state she wants to be in, then do online search for the universities accordingly. All the universities clearly specify their requirements for international students on their websites. This includes all the documentation and other things. Be sure to start with the process as early as you can as this can take a long time. Universities usually recommend the students to start with the process 6 months- 1 year before the intended semester of study. I hope I helped.

A. I don't know what state you live in, but almost all state have a Fair Housing Board that is governed by the state. You canusuallyy find them in thegovernmentt pages in the front of your phone book. Thirty day notice is the norm. Check out Legal Aid in your county or state also and a lot of states have a listing for renters rights too. If you call one and don't get the answer your looking for ask them who would know or who can help you. Google rental laws for where you live. Good luck. A lot of landlord will takeadvantagee if they can or maybe they don't know whats legal. There are usally firm laws reguarding damage. They cannot make you pay for normal wear and tear and they have to prove the other damages.

A. In the US, we are seeing more and more of our morals and values be slung out the door so that liberal views can move into place. Our children are being told that abortion is better than abstinence in most cases. Abortion should not be a political issue-- it should be illegal as a law and nothing more. It isn't a 'right' to have... it's just like saying 'doing drugs should be legalized as a right to anyone who wants to do them' or 'it should be a right to murder my friend because he's a nuisance to me'. The US has gone overboard with freedom and rights. Abortion is murder and that's all there is to it.
