Does a Hard Drive get heavier with more files added? What about RAM when you open a huge program?

Hard drive, no - It stores information by changing the magnetic state of spots on each platter's surface. RAM may actually change weight since they're essentially a bunch of capacitors. The more data you add, the more electrons build up in the capacitors, adding weight. It wouldn't be much weight since electrons weigh practicly nothing... I read once that a single electron traveling close to the speed of light (around 670,680,000 mph) would have roughly the same impact force as a tractor trailer doing 60 mph.ComposiMo said:Does a Hard Drive get heavier with more files added?

That would make sense if the human brain drew it's energy from a particle collider or similar effect. It takes a whole mess of energy to make a little bit of matter... That's what E=MC^2 is about. C is the speed of light - a big number. Mass * a big number = another big number... Energy in this case.invalidcomfort said:[bull****]

European swallow?ollie said:OR....
What do you suppose the average air speed of a ladened swallow carrying a coconut would be?
African swallow?ollie said:OR....

But then how would he carry thus previously stated coconut?Lumpy53 said:African swallow?ollie said:OR....

What if the first one held the coconut in front and the other held the coconut from the rear of said coconut?dohcrxl said:Nope that wouldn't work because the left wing of one swallow would interfere with the flapping motion of the right wing of the other swallow.
Hmmm... unless of course they flapped corresponding wings in sync.
I've thought about that many times before. How about I add something to it... Suppose the way someone else sees the color spectrum is COMPLETELY different than the way I see it. So they see colors that don't even exist in my mind. Imagine, colors that you've never seen before and can't even comprehend in your own mind. It's like a phase shift on the visible light spectrum.dohcrxl said:Oh you want deep? How's this? - Do you suppose that the reason why people like different colors is because... the way I see blue in my mind is different from the way the next person sees blue in theirs. Say for example I see blue the way you see red. In both our brains they register as the same color though to someone else they are not. So although we like the same color, according to the color charts we don't.
Actually, that wasn't deep; It was just twilight zone wierd. I retract.
Actually, this rings more true than anything else. Reason? Because we each have our own indivdual perception, that has been fooled to think that said color is "blue". Say you had no part in society, and thought that red was blue, well red would actually be red. Add on top of that, you would have no concept of colors. The launguage makes colors, not the perception.crxfisher said:I've thought about that many times before. How about I add something to it...
