    Attention all Year 10ers

    Definitely. There is no point in studying for the cert. Assuming you have at least some competency in the subject (particularly skills, or light knowledge), and some semblance of a brain, it should be a breeze.

    citation problems

    A trick you can do is to right click a page and click "Page Info" which should have last modified date there. Sometimes doesn't work because it's like a professional site which updates pages on a daily basis for ads or whatever. If you can't find specific info, then just omit it in your reference.

    Is it possible for somebody with a really low IQ like 110, to achieve a 99+ atar?

    I too was going to point out that IQ is based on a bell curve and 100 is meant to be average. But at any rate, what inane questions. Seriously 'How likely would it be?', would you like a percentage that we have carefully obtained from controlled studies? What kind of reasonable answer would you...

    Old syllabuses (syllabi?)

    why does e=mc^2?

    If you want the basic answer, basically: energy = mass times speed of light squared. The c^2 bit of it refers to a universal constant, invariant speed of light, and thus sets the proportionality of energy mass equivalence. Speed of light is very high, so a little mass corresponds to a large...

    Critique my answer

    I thought the force carriers were specifically called Gauge Bosons, Bosons being a catchall term for particles with integer spins similar to Fermions with half integer spins (encompassing both quarks and leptons).

    Distinction Courses~??

    General Thoughts: Science

    A smallest unit of an element is an atom of that element (an element being defined by it's number of protons). An electron is the smallest unit present in the actual atom, but when you go down there to the subatomic level, you're no longer talking about elements.
