In Electricity, Do electrons move from one group of atoms that have to many to a group that has to few OR is it a charge that flows thru the circuit without "physical" movement? btw... We don't' know is an acceptable if disappointing answer..:)

Electrons do move from atom to atom by jumping from one atom's orbit to another and so on.

360 Degrees

Ash Asked:

Why are there 360 degrees in a circle?


Dear Ash,

At the beginning of the invention of the wheel, they started with a triangle, then they added another corner and produced a square, then they added another corner and produced a pentagon, that went on until they produced a shape with 359 sides (Trihectapentacontakaiennea), then they put on another corner and it came out as a circle and they got the wheel, so a circle has 360 corners aka 360 degrees.

New Languages

GEM Asked:

Hi Tanner!
Long time no see.

1. Have you ever studied any other languages? If so, how many and which ones?

2. What language would you WANT to learn if you could learn any language overnight without having to work hard.

3. If Chinese is a tonal language and some people are tone deaf, how do Chinese people that are tone deaf communicate? Do they have to use sign language or do they just learn to cope?

~Gem


GEM,


1. No I haven't studied other languages.


2. You didn't pose this one as a question, but I will answer it anyway,
I think I would learn English.


3. If a Chinese person is tone deaf, it really doesn't matter, because they would use context to get what they want to say across.

Why do people 'get off' on making others feel left out?
Why do most drivers play control games on the freeway instead of just try to get from point A to point B safely?

Mi

Because I am not old enough to become president.

Because we live in a sin filled world.

Because it's fun. Just kidding, same answer.

Because it's all fun and games till someone gets hurt, and apparently no one has gotten hurt, so they continue to play games.

Periodic Table

Diana Asked:

Dear Tanner,

I am so sorry I didn't tell you the questions last week. I kind of forgot!! But now I remembered!!!
So, here they are.

1. Why is the periodic table constant?

2. Why isn't there another word for synonym.

3. Why would someone ever put a "s" in the middle of the word lisp.

4. How many piece are there in a risk game?

5. What are the many things you can say by winking?

~Diana=]

p.s. you can't use Google unless you are undoubtedly stuck!!!

Diana

That is because I reminded you.

1. Because there are no more elements to be added, and elements just can't disappear.

2. Because there can't be a synonym for synonym.

3. Because the origin is old english and their origin is probably french.

4. 360 pieces not "piece"

5. My mom said I can't answer this one so you are going to have to google it yourself. ;-)
