    Yes! It was answered but you got one.

    Less one, the rest have been answered and I'm afraid you didn't get any others.

    This is not correct but has not been answered correctly.

    Question 18: How do you generate a purely random number using nothing but computer software [if you write a program in C or Visual Basic, for example]

    Very good!
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_variables

    Derivatives of action
    In classical physics, the derivatives of action are conjugate variables to the quantity with respect to which one is differentiating. In quantum mechanics, these same pairs of variables are related by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

    I just figured momentum is mv, energy is m (times a constant), so it becomes a question of what times velocity gives position.

    LOL! Well it turns out to be a profound relationship.

    Heisenberg's Uncertainly principle tells us the limitation on the knowledge we can have about the momentum and position of a particle. There is an identical relationship between energy and time and all of the conjugate pairs listed above

    Question 19: They say you can't get something from nothing. But you can get nothing from two somethings.

    What relatively easy demonstration allows you to add two somethings together and get absolutely nothing?

    Write something 'real world' into the algorithm that the program can factor into the equation, like 'how many times the word 'the' was included in a google search in the last 5 seconds' or something.

    Positive and negative numbers (assuming 'zero' counts as nothing, but I dunno if it technically does, because its still a 'digit').

    "Numbers" are concepts, not somethings. :D

    Haha, I was still thinking like it's 1985. By connecting to the internet you could do it!

    Q21: If you have a helium balloon floating around in your car and you hit the gas, what happens to the balloon, and why?

    Q22: What is the mechanism of action proven to be the cause of "spooky action at a distance"?
