chew on this for a while.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach's_conjecture

And don't prove the weak conjecture.

That's for pansies.

I'll check in later and see what the results are.
Holy crap.

And people think me and my ions are boring.

Ok - just because I'm a nice guy - here's an easy one.

In the Fletcher's Paradox, the Greek philosopher Zeno (who was the
inspiration for the Socratic Method) stated that for motion to be
occurring, an object must change the position which it occupies.

In keeping with the name of the paradox, let's use an arrow as the
example. For motion to occur, the arrow must move to where it is not.
Thus there are two states - where it is and where it is not.

If we think of time as points (or instants) the arrow cannot move to
where it is not and it cannot move to where it is because it is
already there. Thus, motion cannot occur at any point (or instant) of
time - everything should remain motionless.

Solve that one - it's actually easy.

I always wondered just how the transporter on the Starship Enterprise
worked.

Quantum physics. We already have an example of instant transfer of
energy - gravity. It affects all things at the same time. If it
didn't, then you wouldn't have round balls of stuff floating around
space and each other.

And it's been shown in numerous experiments that one particle can
exist in two places at the same time.

It's just a question of engineering. Think Eisboch and his ions. :)
