I need to know the resistvity value of copper, please people. I have two figures in front of me and I need to decide... NOW.

Don't worry I'm not just doing this for the fun of it, it's for Physics.

Cheers

Is this for physics, i had a question on resistivity of copper a few weeks ago.

Yeah, I thought it was an interesting take on the creation myth, and quite forward thinking.

Shame it'll make most fundamentalists bay for blood however..........

Light, I think you were the one who ran away from the questions about the theological stupidity of believing everything came from nothing. No example EVER has ever been given to support the idiocy that is the belief that everything could orignate from nothing. Face it - it doesn't make sense.

"about 15 billion years ago"

Not very scientific, eh?

Without wanting to get on this merrygoround again, in which you'll refuse to answer questions and simply bray the same arguments again and again without listening: -

[edit]Actually, no. I can't be bothered in the slightest.

Sorry;

Fifteen billion two hundred and fifty seven million nine hundred and forty three thousand eight hundred and twelve years ago.

Better?

Not really. There's still no science involved in that answer.

I'm not sure my blood pressure would survive another one of these.

I don't fancy one much either. But hey, all I wanted to find out was the resistivity value of copper.

As opposed to the scientific calculation that went into the answer "God made everything in 7 days"? Could you show the working out for that one please dear boy?

Or maybe you'd like to explain just how you worked out the age of the earth? Because, y'know, adding together the ages of everyone in the Bible is a method that simple reeks of science.

Oh, and you never did bother to explain what you think the definition of a closed system was. After all, you banged on about the 2nd Law for long enough. I would have thought you'd be delighted to show your expertise on the matter by stating why this little planet of ours is a closed system under the 2nd Law. In your own time my cowardly little friend...
