Which was first, energy or matter in the creation of our universe? @Manishearth certainly, but the question is not on the difference of the two :-) |

Which was first, energy or matter in the creation of our universe? This is a purely philosophical question. |

Navier-Stokes system Can you restrict this to a single answerable question? |

Is a hard drive heavier when it is full? @DavidZaslavsky Sorry if I was not clear - I wasn't disagreeing with your conclusion :-) |

Is a hard drive heavier when it is full? @DavidZaslavsky of course this is on the assumption that drives work by aligning zeros and ones correspondingly. Not so. Also, if the data is compressed or encrypted, it will have maximal entropy and thus contributions from orientations should/could cancel out. |

Relation between flow and pressure Bernoulli's. Unfortunately, though, simple homework questions that show no effort are not allowed here. FAQ |

What happens when you heat vodka in a microwave? As a side note, salted water does not boil at the same temperature anyways. |

Effect on mass of Earth if it stops revolving around Sun I've tried to fix the English of this question, but could use some input from the author. |

What is the “foamy space” hypothesis that has been debunked recently? @Dilaton I believe you, but tags must be useful for people looking for this page: since the article talks about interpretations, the tags should follow, as to help people reading the article find this page, quantum-gravity could stay, as well. |

What is the “foamy space” hypothesis that has been debunked recently? The article specifically mentions quantum interpretations, that's why I used it (the experiment may be incorrectly reported, however the question is still about interpretations, imho) |

Are probability-preserving variations of QT with respect to the Born rule mathematically possible? If you take a rule and you replace it with something not equivalent by definition you won't get the same result. One can simply multiply all probability distribution by some normalised function and obtain something that makes different predictions... wrong ones. :-) |

What happens when you heat vodka in a microwave? @PaulJ.Gans actually that's incorrect, ethanol boils at 78.37... if you click on the value it will take you to chemistry.SE where someone actually calculated that for us. |

Does photon possesses no time to cover any arbitrary distance? You can't talk about SR without specifying reference frames. Times and distances are different in different frames - that's the whole point of SR... |

What happens when you heat vodka in a microwave? I assume you mean alcohol and not vodka above. Considering it's a real mixture, and the two components are not separated, I do not think it's even possible that one boils but not the other. |

What happens when you heat vodka in a microwave? The results need to be reproduced by independent parties. Ergo, you must have a party. |

Apparent paradox in equation of continuity @KaziarafatAhmed What do you mean? I've shown that at every position the equation of continuity is respected. You seem to think that $V_0$ should be for some reason the same as $V_1$, but that's simply a wrong assumption. |

Inclusion of information about external particles to calculate scattering amplitudes Can you review the link, please? It seems to be talking about other matters at 1:18. |
