I assume you mean centrifugal force at the equaters reducing your weight by producing a force upwards? The yes, you do. You also weigh more if you live near a fault line because faul lines ae very rich in iron and other heavy metals so have a higher gravitaional field in that area.
If an infinite force collides with an inmovable, undeformable, unbreakable object...
Nah j/k.
If it's already possible: how does one force a specific spin state to a 1/2 spin particle? For example, when using two entangled fermions to quantum teleport the spin state of a specific particle.
The main way in which this is done is with large magnets, the fact an electron has a non-zero spin means it has a magnetic moment so will be repelled/attracted by magnetic forces. An MRI scanner works on this principal to detect the proton in the nucleus of hydrogen atoms around your body.
Hmm, I see what you mean. Does this also go for imposing a particle's (un)known spin state on another (destroying the original state). Not doubting or anything, but "powerful magnet" sounds rather crude.
I used to have a fairly crude understanding of NMRi, but it's been slipping. I do remember something about a strong magnetic field to allign the hydrogen nuclei, and a smaller, fluctuating field superimposed on that one to cause vibration/precession or something like that.

Well for the actual teleportation of the spin state its not really known the causation of this, for imposing the spin on the "transmitting" electron it would be with a powerful magnet mainly. And the MRI description is more or less how one works, the nuclii aligned against the powerful magnet are in a higher enegy state, causing them to precess to align with the magnetic field means they have to lose energy, this is in the form of a radio frequency wave tht can be detected.
Aaah... so, I'm guessing, the hypothetical tidal forces generating heat within the interior of Europa might make the satellite crash into Jupiter one day?
Thanks for taking the time to answer, much appreciated.
Edit: Oh wait.

Since the Hadron collider CAN make black holes that will die out very quickly, Would it be possible to see it, and what would it look like? Also, how much do you know about antimatter? besides the obvious of course.
I imagine it would only be vissible as a short burst of Hawking radiation. I don't think it would be visible in anyother way as we observe blackholes in space from their acretion disks, the ring of matter being accelerated towards thew singularity producing radiateion.
Also, how much do you know about antimatter? besides the obvious of course.
Only the basics really. The anti-particle had the same mass as, but opporsite charge to the particle. For example the positron is the electron's anti-particles.
When an anti-particle and it's particle partner come into contact they are both converted into 2 gamma photons at the rate E=mc[sup]2[/sup]. Also if you bring 2 gamma photons at the correct energy we can pair produce a particle/anti-particle pair.
When you create matter, you always must produce anti-matter. Even in radioactive decay, for example beta- decay, a neutron decays into a proton ejecting an electron and a anti-neutrino. and in beta+ decay a proton decays into a neutron ejecting a positron and a neutrino.
If i had a really long(Let's say unbreakable) pole say more than 1 Au long and it was spinning at the center of the pole. If you got the ends of the pole to have a speed close to the speed of light what would happen? Because the ends of the pole would be traveling through time slower then the rest of the pole. Would it bend/distort/break?
Interesting observation leads to an interesting hypothetical.
I was walking out of Wal-Mart with a cart, and since I was walking home, I just pushed it at a cart that was at rest. I thought immediately, "Oh, it is going to knock the other one out of the way, possibly into my way." What I observed on the other hand, was that the cart I had pushed (Cart 1) hit the cart that was just sitting there (Cart 2) at approximately a forty-five degree angle, moving cart 2 about 1/2 an inch, but altering the course of cart 1 so that it was parallel to the heading of cart 2.
This got me thinking. Is it easier to impart motion to a stationary object, or alter the course of an object already in motion?
Theoretical Exercise:
You have an electro-magnetic railgun that shoots shells the size of a semi at 500 kilometers per hour, aimed at a 45 degree angle to a shell that has been pre-positioned in space. If you fire a shell at the pre-positioned one, what will happen?
If you were traveling through outer space, going real fast, like the speed of light, and all of a sudden you started screaming, do you think your brain would blow up?
Ok, bear with me because even though I read a lot of science I cannot seem to understand much of it no matter how hard I try which is detrimental to me wanting to build up my skills in (slightly)Hard Science Fiction writing. I have yet to pass grade 11 science and I am retaking grade 12, this should tell you how academically challenged I am.
The first question is what the hell is a spin? A Boson has a full integer spin, a Fermion has a Half integer spin, but a Higgs Boson has none. From what I understand it is this anomaly that gives it the distinction of mass. (Please remember I am terrible in science thus I may have gotten everything mixed up from the get-go) But what is a spin since no source I look at is willing to explain it on grade 10 science level terminologies. Reason I want to know is because I am looking at a way for a Gauss rifle/rail gun to fire a slug weighing a gram at near relativistic speeds. The main problem with this is recoil so I got to thinking that if the Higgs Boson could be manipulated in the material of the slug while it is in the gun its mass could be nullified thus completely removing or reducing recoil with the bullet regaining mass once it leaves the barrel. Lastly what would be the most likely scenario if a bullet with no mass left the gun at near the speed of light then regained its mass instantly? Would there be any noticeable effect from this?
Long complicated and potentially brain dead question but I would be very pleased if you gave it a shot anyways, or at the very least distill enough errors that I can start to look for the answer myself.
Lastly my idea for a plasma gun (please ignore the power requirements, impracticality, and convoluted mechanics of such a weapon)
My question is what would be the most ideal metal for use as the first layer that will serve as the plasma. One that can be most influenced by an electromagnetic field and have a reasonable temperature before turning into plasma. The second element to my question is, is there such thing as a material that can emit an electromagnetic field, at the very least is it theoretically possible for a material to emit an electromagnetic field?
Thank you very much for potentially at least giving at a shot.
P.S. No one criticize my stupidity in this field. No one knows everything. ;P
