From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Space is the boundless, three-dimensional extent in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction. Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of the boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime. In mathematics one examines 'spaces' with different numbers of dimensions and with different underlying structures. The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe although disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework. Many of the philosophical questions arose in the 17th century, during the early development of classical mechanics. In Isaac Newton's view, space was absolute - in the sense that it existed permanently and independently of whether there were any matter in the space. Other natural philosophers, notably Gottfried Leibniz, thought instead that space was a collection of relations between objects, given by their distance and direction from one another. In the 18th century, Immanuel Kant described space and time as elements of a systematic framework that humans use to structure their experience. In the 19th and 20th centuries mathematicians began to examine non-Euclidean geometries, in which space can be said to be curved, rather than flat. According to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, space around gravitational fields deviates from Euclidean space. Experimental tests of general relativity have confirmed that non-Euclidean space provides a better model for the shape of space. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How much space does a music video take up on an ipod nano? Q. I am going to add some video to my ipod nano with ipodlinux. I wonder how much space the video will take up. How much space will, say, a music video take up on my ipod nano? The same amount as the file of the video? If so, can I somehow compress that to make it take up less space? Asked by sportsguy - Tue Feb 27 06:42:43 2007 - - 0 Answers - 1 Comments A. Sorry, but why would you want to put a music video on an iPod Nano, since you can't play video on it? To play video, you need the iPod Video (30GB or 80GB). How much space a video will take up, depends on the length and the compression of the video.

I want to create disk image for all of my data near about 120 GB ? But i m not sure about the space required to create disc image ? Does it compress the data or required equal space ? Asked by rahulraj - Thu May 6 09:00:33 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you are doing a bit by bit image it would require 120Gig to image a 120Gig drive. In general bit by bit images are not necessary. If you are not doing a bit by bit image it depends on the amount of data on the drive. Select the drive you want to image and view how much used spaced there is. The max the image should take up should be no more than the amount of used space there is. When doing an image chances are you will be doing compression which can often cut the amount of space used in 1/3 but it varies greatly on how the disk is being imaged and the type of data on the drive.

Q. So I would like you to give me the cost, the time to build the KW/h it produces and the space a nuclear reactor requires. As well as the same for any single solar power plant. (All the stats of each have to be from a any, but all have to be from the same one) It's self-directed homework that's due in today, but I just wanted to know the answer in the end. Asked by Brodan Victa - Wed Nov 7 15:15:02 2007 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. This is a loaded question with many right answers. I'll take a stab at it though. The largest proposed photovoltaic power station in the world is in Victoria, Australia and is estimated to produce 154 megawatts. It will utilize 2,000 acres of land. Conversely, the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear station in Japan is the largest nuclear power station in the world. It produces a little over 8,000 megawatts and utilizes 1,037 acres of land. Using these two extreme examples, nuclear power produces roughly 100 times more energy per acre than solar energy. Arguably, nuclear power stations are still cheaper to construct than solar energy stations. The cost of photovoltaic cells is still high as technology hasn't improved enough to reduce their cost.
