Is the time machine invented yet?

Unfortunately, no, but it would be cool. We can't do anything apart from wait.


Explain the difference between compressive stress and tensile stress?

Tensile Force -The force of pulling something apart. An example would be doing a tensile test on piece of steel to check the tensile strength. They put the piece of steel at a specified size in a machine that uses tensile force and pull apart the test sample. They measure the amount of force necessary to break apart the sample. All steel has a minimum standard of tensile strength required to be called this grade of steel. Compressive Force - The force of compressing an object. A common example is a cement sample compression test. Cements best quality is its compressive strength. This is why it is used as a foundation for buildings. Anyways, the test is placing a cement cylinder at a certain size in a compression machine. It basically squeezes the cement or compresses the cement to the point of rupture. Then they record the amount a compressive force it took to rupture the cement sample. It has to meet a minimum standard to be accepted or they reject the product made from this batch.
