Thing Explain Answers

  1. Using really small guns to find out how heavy a thing is by looking at just one bit of the thing at a time
  2. Studying a Thing with Uses in Tomorrow's Computers by Hitting it with Other Stuff
  3. The getting wider and drying of drops sitting on a table
  4. Hot stuff carried by bits of sound shakes around when it goes through some stuff that can pick up other like stuff
  5. Explaining Different Stuff with the Same Thing
  6. See small things that move! They will do the work for us, If we can find them.
  7. Pulling over and over "the thing we love the most" makes its life-lines straight
  8. Looking at and pulling on the body's building blocks, one at a time
  9. Lock the ball with full of cool way; Fa la la la la la, la la la. Flip the bit with brush of shock in; Fa la la la la la, la la la.
  10. Some places are better than others. If there are too many couples, they can dance in two rooms instead of one and things can become hot
  11. Why do balls get stuck when you try to push them through a box of rocks?
  12. Looking at things which are locked together in a confusing way using other things which are locked together in a confusing way
  13. How to make the very, very tiny bits in the stuff-we-study ride clean waves, that repeat over and over again, and look exactly how we want them to look by putting the stuff-westudy between other things like it while keeping every layer completely straight
