Is it possible to obtain gold through nuclear decay? @ChrisWhite: Yes, fair point, you are right of course. But the point remains that fusion produces elements necessarily heavier than gold (greater in number of nucleons) that are then able to decay into Au atoms. |

Why does the moon face earth with the same side? I believe the majority of planetary satellites experience this. I could be wrong though. |

Why is the Dirac operator so important - in both physics and mathematics? Let's be fair: it was invented within physics, for physicists, by a physicist. It may have ancillary relevance to maths, but not huge. @lurscher is also right; what's "important" here? |

Constant velocity in siphon? @Georg: Yep, you are right. With this extra assumption, it now all makes sense, as shown in the derivation in the accepted answer. |

Constant velocity in siphon? Thanks, all is clear now. It is basically enough to say conservation of mass together with constant cross-section and the incompressibility of water lead to constant velocity. Someone should definitely add this on the Wikipedia page. :-) Answer accepted in any case. |
