What does the standard model tell us about spacetime?
Q. I know it is successful at telling us about particle interactions, but what does it tell us about spacetime itself? Thanks for enlarging your answer, epidavros. I was just going to ask you to enlarge it a little. I suppose what I really want to know is what it tells us about spacetime that wasn't in General Relativity, because I'm fairly ok with that. All great answers so far. It's going to be hard choosing, so I may put it to the vote.

A. Unfortunately, very little. Spacetime is just unchanging background framework for the SM. The SM is Lorentz invariant. That means it agrees with special relativity's static model of spacetime. General Relativity is the only dynamical theory of spacetime at present, and SM is a quantum mechanical theory. QM and GR in their present forms have irreconcilable differences.

What should I do about an apartment complex unfairly charging us for an extra half month?
Q. We had several difficulties with them, including false accusation of property damage. We had a lease that ran through March. We called to see what kind of notice we needed to give about moving out, the assistant property mgr told us 30 Days. Now they are trying to collect pro-rated rent for April because they say we were supposed to give a 60-Day Notice. We don't feel that we should have to pay for thier mistake when we called ahead in advance to ask.

A. I don't know what state you live in, but almost all state have a Fair Housing Board that is governed by the state. You canusuallyy find them in thegovernmentt pages in the front of your phone book. Thirty day notice is the norm. Check out Legal Aid in your county or state also and a lot of states have a listing for renters rights too. If you call one and don't get the answer your looking for ask them who would know or who can help you. Google rental laws for where you live. Good luck. A lot of landlord will takeadvantagee if they can or maybe they don't know whats legal. There are usally firm laws reguarding damage. They cannot make you pay for normal wear and tear and they have to prove the other damages.

I live abroad and would like to sponsor my husband to immigrate to the US. How do I go about it?
Q. I have been living abroad for over 10 years and have never filed income taxes in that time. I don't owe anything, but I know I should have filed anyway, I was just too lazy to figure out how. Now I'm married and am expecting our first child in a few weeks. We're ready to move to the US but I'm worried about the tax thing. Will this be a major issue? Can I overcome this? Also, is it possible to live in one country but apply for immigration in another? We live in China, but my husband is from a small African country. It would be faster and easier to go through their embassy, but am I allowed to do that? My husband goes there often on business, but I legally reside in China. Can anyone give me real answers?

A. I assume you are a US citizen. If you did not owe any tax then failure to file is not an offense and there is no penalty. If your non-liability for tax depends on claiming the foreign earned income exclusion, then you need to file back tax returns for six years (although the IRS is not excluded from demanding earlier returns or claiming tax for earlier years, it generally does not do so, nor does it usually want nonfilers to bother with earlier tax returns). In general the IRS is glad to cooperate in nonfilers regularizing their status. If you work in China for a US organization or a subsidiary of one, then your spouse may be eligible for "expedited naturalization" irrespective of never having lived in the USA.

How can observations taken at the current time tell us about stellar evolution?
Q. Since individual stars can live for millions or billions of years, how can observations taken at the current time tell us about stellar evolution?
Asked by rascal - Fri Oct 27 20:01:06 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Our understanding of stellar evolution comes from a combination of theory and observation. Theory tells us how stars produce energy through fusion, and how the fusion processes change as the star evolves. Comparing these predictions with observed behavior enables us to understand where a star is in its development. In broad terms the theory fits the observations well, but there are many theoretical details that have been refined by observation. In addition, observations of some of the short-lived processes that occur towards the end of a star's life are hard to come by.

A. From reading the USPS website, it seems like you could ship soda within the US with permission, but not internationally without all kinds of permits, due to a hazard of explosion. You could try shipping it to her with UPS or FedEx. They don't say anything specifically about carbonated liquids on their website, but I don't know for sure if would be something you'd need to specially package and label or if they'd ship it internationally.

Q. I've never shipped anything to Canada (let alone soft drinks) before, and looked at previous answers and saw links to a site that made getting it there seem incredibly complicated. Is this going to be too much trouble? I wanted to surprise a friend with a Japanese soda and some other gifts for her birthday. What should I know about a.) sending to Canada from the US, and b.) shipping a liquid?

Anything a green card holder should know about marrying a US citizen?
Q. I've had a green card for 14 years and am about to marry a US citizen. Is there anything I need to know in regards to my status? Do I have to inform the Immigration Service? Are there any forms I need to fill out?

A. Nope, nothing special. You can just get married and not worry about anything.

Why are individual views about abortion a major electoral issue in the US, but not in most of Europe?
Q. During any recent election campaign in the UK and (as I understand it) France and Germany, the views that a candidate has about abortion are really not that important, certainly not in the way they are in the US. Why?

A. In the US, we are seeing more and more of our morals and values be slung out the door so that liberal views can move into place. Our children are being told that abortion is better than abstinence in most cases. Abortion should not be a political issue-- it should be illegal as a law and nothing more. It isn't a 'right' to have... it's just like saying 'doing drugs should be legalized as a right to anyone who wants to do them' or 'it should be a right to murder my friend because he's a nuisance to me'. The US has gone overboard with freedom and rights. Abortion is murder and that's all there is to it.
