you learn somethin everyday... 

Hello again.pete wrote:Just another fact/comparative to help us visualise the Hotmail
popularity of its members.
Just read that Hotmail is the most used free email messages service cie, with 190M active members worldwide.
What would be the lenght of a human chain, if every Hotmail members were linked hand in hand? ( for the purpose of the calculation, we will use the lenght of a person hand to hand opening 5 1/2 feet.)
Try it if you want, I will post some comparative later.

Got it already or should i try?ToxicBug wrote:Aight, I'll have to just figure it out myself anyway, cause I need to see some illustrations of what is happening and my cal book has some good ones in it. Cheers anyway.
Yea, your answer fits the estimates given in some of the textbooks.pete wrote:Good day my friends.
Tnf, for the Human DNA Calculation Length…
10 Trillion Cells X 6 Feet,
60000000000000 feet = 11,363,636,363.636364 miles or
122.2477293 astronomical units.
1 AU = 149,597,870.691 kilometers or 92,955,807.2674332 miles.
Definition: An Astronomical Unit is approximately the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun. It is a derived constant and used to indicate distances within the solar system. Its formal definition is the radius of an unperturbed circular orbit a massless body would revolve about the sun in 2*(pi)/k days (i.e., 365.2568983.... days), where k is defined as the Gaussian constant exactly equal to 0.01720209895. Since an AU is based on radius of a circular orbit, one AU is actually slightly less than the average distance between the Earth and the Sun (approximately 150 million km or 93 million miles).
Tnf is this correct? That mean a little more than 122 times the distance between the earth and the sun. Quite impressive.
Btw what is the measure of a chromosome? We measure them with something like ‘’amstrong’’unit?
Pete.
Thanks Tnf. You really sound like a teacher.tnf wrote:Yea, your answer fits the estimates given in some of the textbooks.pete wrote:Good day my friends.

Pete.
Chromsomes are often measured in angstroms (for length), for molecular masses we use Daltons.
You can look up what those are...its more rewarding that way.
EDIT: Didn't see saturn's answer...
lol, I know for you, you read about it in raw forum at the time and in my Solution to an IQ Test before...That's why I said - for the ones who have miss it.ForM wrote:*Stamps petes head*
