how a ccd works

computer reads the voltage charge. Light comes in and hits the metal and gives you the charge.

Two Sides To Every Story

I believe there is life out there other than us. If God can make life on Earth why wouldn't he make it somehwere else? If he can make Earth a place where things can live i am sure he would do the same somewhere else. It is just a matter of us being able to find it.

Black Holes

I did this with Andy Curtis and it is on his blog

Chocolate Lab

Distance between hotspots = 12 cm
1/2 wavelength = 12 cm = .12 m
Frequency = 2.5 * 10^9 Hz (1/s)
c = speed of lightx = 1/2 wavelength
f = frequency
Equation -> c (m/s) = 2 * x (m) * f (1/s) -> c = (2) (.12) (2.5 * 10^9)
Experimental c = 6.5 * 10^8 m/s
Actual = 2 * 10^8 m/s
