What do you guys think will be in it? Especially for the longer responses

 

[turnerloos]

i reckon a bit of space, a bit of m&g and maybe a little bit of i2i

 

[HecticLad]

Planck & Einstein's differing views on whether science is removed from political and social factors

 

[Crisium]

They'll probably test us on those random dot points such as the changing definition of a metre, the advantages and disadvantages of using superconductors on maglev trains, etc.

They'll will probably try to combine modules together as well

Wait what are the disadvantages of superconductors in maglev trains? Hard to maintain temps below critical temperature?

Heaps more - Just a few off the top of my head:

Disadvantages:

- The high maintenance costs are reflected in the high ticketing prices (Not available to all members of the community + not available in some areas)

- People with metallic object such as a pacemaker cannot board the train

- Shielding the superconductor coolant from the environment presents issues, etc.
