I know you have Questions...

It has come to my attention recently that many people out there in our big scary world are confused about something in their lives. This can easily be seen on a smaller scale in the lovely Bungie forums, with myriad questions constantly being fired around concerning every topic imaginable to man, Halo-related or not. Questions such as "Why is Don Mattrick such a douche?" "What is the hidden meaning behind the weekly update?" and "Do Flood poop?" are prime examples of such confusion. To remedy this confusion at least partially, I would like to offer a service: I will answer your question. Any question, as long as it abides by Bungie's Terms of Use, may be asked, and I promise to answer it to the most truthful and in-depth extent that I can manage. When you're ready, you may begin.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TRITESANDWICH Inside an lcd screen, what is the stuff made of and what is it? Also how does it feel if it touches you?[/quote] An LCD is a Liquid Crystal Display. Essentially, there are multiple layers of horizontally and vertically oriented liquid crystal displays that are manipulated by and electric charge to re-arrange the crystals in order to block light, or allow light to pass through. A light source is then shined through to create the image. If in the touch question you are referring to the mercury present in the cold cathode lights that are occasionally used as back-lights, then broken LCD screen would be fun to play with. However, because of the dangers presented by mercury, LED backlights are becoming the industry standard.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SanitysEclips3 Water is more useful than diamonds, so why are diamonds more valuable?[/quote] Because you don't have to go sifting through diamonds to get to water, but you do have to go sifting through water to get to diamonds. Though I agree with your implied statement that it is rediculous to have a trivial object such as a rock be more valuable than the substance in which all life began, and all organic processes rely on. However, that is the mindset of mankind: the rarer the object, the more valuable. An interesting example: the most expensive coffee beans in the world are found in certain parts of southeast Asia, where a certain species of feral cat eats the bean, but does not fully digest it. It is extremely rare to find this animal's feces, but the undigested coffee beans within the feces are worth far more than their weight in gold, and are more expensive once they have passed through the cat's intestines than they are fresh off the plant. Capitalism makes me feel so dirty in such a good way sometimes.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xPSxNewman2 Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?[/quote] This is actually quite a complex question that deals with circular logic, metaphysical philosophy, and imaginary numbers. For the complete answer to the question, listen to any AC / DC song twice in German. Other than that, I would just end up confusing you.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SPARTAN CMDR 125 In responce to the "hypothetical atmosphere-devoid-hole through the earth" question: Now, what would happen, if, at some point on your "descent", your velocity was slowed by some outside force, just enough to prevent you from coming out on the other side? Would you then fall back in again, slowly losing velocity until you came to a halt, floating in the core, or would you then continually 'bounce' between the new point of "original fall height"?[/quote] If the outside force was a constant force of friction, like atmosphere, then yes, you would eventually be suspended in the middle of the core, assuming the gravity on all sides was of equal magnitude.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Z0mgZ0rs Here is a question.... If 2 planets a thousand light years away from each other, are connected by a wire which is made of the hardest element, and then someone from Planet A were to pull the wire, then how long would it take for people in Planet B to realize it was being pulled. [b]Hint: You can't travel faster than light.[/b] Btw, I don't really want exact times, but just the answer to the riddle.[/quote] Depending on the elasticity of the string, the time will vary, but it would take longer than 1000 years (the pull would travel slower than the speed of light)
