>>cult of personality\n\nn : intense devotion to a particular person<<\n\nThat "intense devotion" may make you follow someone who shouldn't be followed, such as Hitler or L. Ron Hubbard. Good leadership is something we should follow.

to me it means that it is the highlight of my life. i am alone, but i have this burning like i have never had before. if you dont understand what i mean, then i dont know how to explain it any better.

The absorbed photon may be re-emitted as either reflected or refracted light. If it is absorbed, its energy is converted into heat. In some materials, a high-energy photon will stimulate the emission of a lower-energy photon. This is called fluorescence.

Beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta particle (an electron or a positron) is emitted. In the case of electron emission, it is referred to as "beta minus" (β−), while in the case of a positron emission as "beta plus" (β+).\n\nCheck out the first link (Colorado) for a very basic explanation.  The Wikipedia entry is very confusing.

LASER is an acronym for\nLight Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

Fan doesn't begin to describe it. No, strike that. I don't know where to begin a description. \n\n"Are the stars out tonight, I don't know if it's cloudy or bright..."

wow!, that was a good one; I can't help you with that. Could it meant:\n1) we are moving at the speed of light; or trying to keep up with everyday life changes; growing to fast?\n2) people don't die from coughs?\n\nI couldn't find anything on www.UsingEnglish.com

Radio-active decay is measured with half lives, that is a time when half the matter of a sample would have disintegrated.  That is a rate, which is not a speed, so the speed of light is totally unrelated.

Light only travels until it is absorbed, dissipated to other types of radiation (no longer referred to as "light"), or expended as some other form of energy.\n\nThis can mean "forever". Of course, that depends on various important factors of light which rely on concrete proof. At the moment, there are differing theories about how light works, why, and what it is.

Radiation in physics is a process of emission of energy or particles. Various forms of radiation may be distinguished, depending on the type of the emitted energy/matter, the type of the emission source, properties and purposes of the emission, etc.

The expression is an attempt to bring the weird behaviors that are evident on a quantum mechanical scale to a macroscopic scale.  The theory in question here is that of tunneling.  Tunneling states that there is a non-zero probability of a particle passing through an energy barrier without going over it.  In essence, it's like the particle simply passed through the barrier.  Now, in theory, were you to try an infinite number of times, it is possible that at the instant that every particle in your body hit the wall, they would all quantum mechanically tunnel through the barrier.  It's so exceedingly unlikely though, that for all intents and purposes, it's impossible.  \n\nQuantum mechanics is filled with little things like that.  Things that make sense on an atomic scale don't necessarily work on a human scale.  If you are interested, look up a few books by Brian Greene, which gives a pretty good understanding of relativity and QM.  Also, if you would like another example, look up  the Schrodinger's Cat Paradox.

It means that a piece of law will "sunset" or disappear after a certain date.  Think of the Patriot Act, Congress had to review it and then pass an act renewing it.  It helps to ensure that laws are checked periodicaly to see if they are current/still needed.

This means gas molecules having more kinetic energy or "moving faster", bumping into each other and other things more frequently. Another synonym to this is "explosion" which is, the rapid expansion of gas.

It's a lie, it's like cell phones causing gas stations to blow up. I work for a package delievery service and we ship optic mice, cell phones and what not all the time, and if something edmits radioactivity it's required to be labeled, even if it doesn't emit the radiation when it's turned off. the only thing you have in ur home that is slightly radioactive is ur smoke detectors.which are class 1, meaning as long as u dont eat them you'll be fine
