I meant to put how, guess I made a typo.

yep.... typos.......

how does sweat form??

I guess people just like finding out the answers to their questions.

A bouncy ball works by deforming itself to provide a rebound. This same principle applies if the ground is deformable, like a trampoline, or if you bounce a hard object on a deformable floor, like a steel ball on a rubber floor. The more energy the ball and floor can conserve by deforming, the better the ball will bounce. All of this denting and rebounding happens in a split second, so it's hard to observe without a high-speed camera. Source: http://howthingswork.virginia.edu/bouncing_balls.html

Sweat is formed by small pores in the skin when the body needs to cool down. The skin creates small droplets of salty-water that contain some of the body's heat so moving air will carry away the water and the heat at the same time. This is the same principle behind why you feel cold when you get out of the shower or when you get out of the pool.

How is it that when you turn sideways, the "+" on your methat is still in the same location?

aluminum chlorohydrate-what exactly is it. i read it on a old spice deodorant.

the + obviously doesn't move because the hat is a frictionless surface and isn't affected by chromium turning his head

What exactly happens when you mix calcium chloride with sodium carbonate? Why does it go from two clear substances into one white substance?

EDIT: I fixed my question...i got the carbonate and chloride mized up, but its fixed up now!

My met-hat is governed by the universal 2-dimensional cartoon laws of physics: turning around reverses all aspects of a character, including handedness, (right-handed becomes left-handed and vice versa) distinguishing marks, and clothing, including distinguishing marks on the clothing, like a plus sign on my helmet.

Aluminum chlorohydrate is a chemical commonly used in deodorants, though it's not essential since there are deodorants made that don't use it. I can't find an official use for the substance, but it appears to have either fragrant or drying qualities that would be desirable in a deodorant.

Because calcium is more reactive than sodium, the calcium in calcium chloride will displace the sodium in sodium carbonate, leaving calcium carbonate and sodium and chloride ions, which form sodium chloride, otherwise known as table salt. This is an example of an acid-base reaction. Source: My chemistry textbook (Hard to find this kind of information online)

Honest Question. Now a VCE philosophy student, i'm having trouble understanding existentalism.

According to Dictionary.com:
ex·is·ten·tial·ism (n)
A philosophy that emphasizes the uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience in a hostile or indifferent universe, regards human existence as unexplainable, and stresses freedom of choice and responsibility for the consequences of one's acts.

What about the philosophy are you having trouble understanding? There are many different parts to this theory that can easily confuse people.

Your dictionary appears to be better than mine, but it's still confusing.

The uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience in a hostile or indifferent universe.

I'd have to say that's the bit giving me trouble. The term "Individual Experience" would be the main point of my confusion. Yepper, Uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience.

Why do cats always land on their feet?

Mythologically, what exactly is the origianal instance of the Doppelganger?

Here is a page that better explains it. In short, the philosophy is that I am whatever I make of myself, not what others make of me. The "making" of myself, which includes things that I experience, is the most important thing that I do.

Cat's don't always land on their feet. The reason they are so good at it, though, is because of a cat's amazing balance. The fluid levels in a cat's ear will shift much more rapidly and quickly than a human's, which allows the cat to shift its head to face correctly as it falls. The body tends to follow the head, so the body whips around to position the feet down. Source: http://cats.about.com/cs/catmanagement1 ... work_2.htm

A doppelganger doesn't seem to have any mythological base, but just a generic spiritual base. Doppelganger comes from the German words doppel (to walk) and gang (going), so doppelganger means "double goer", and this kind of entity has appeared in many stories, including modern day science fiction as well as ancient lore.
