Is Fire-walking Psychic Power or Science?
Fire walking has a scientific explanation. Fire walkers usually walk on heated coals. At regular walking pace, the time which the feet are in contact with the coals is shorter than the time that it takes for your feet to conduct enough heat to sustain serious injuries. It is much like picking up a hot pastry and dropping it after a delay, because you only notice that it is hot after enough heat is conducted into your hand.
What is the average cost of operation and maintenance on an existing building?
It depends on how large the building is. It can be a small, two story house, where costs run from $500-$5,000, or it can be a humongous building like the Burj Khalifa or the Pentagon, where the costs run into millions of dollars.
What is the difference between anchorage length and development length?
Anchorage length is the required distance to transfer a load and is dependent on the materials used. Development length is the length of the reinforcement bar or rod required to transfer the load safely to another bar.
Transcription starts at a region of DNA called a?
According to biologists, transcription starts at a region of DNA called a promoter. Promoters bind with RNA molecules to initiate transcription.
What construction company built the Burj Khalifa?
Main contractor Samsung C&T, Besix and Arabtec
Supervision Consultant Engineer & Architect of Record Hyder Consulting
Construction Project Manager Turner Construction Grocon
Planning Bauer AG and Middle East Foundations
Lift contractor Otis
VT consultant Lerch Bates
What is the base of the Burj Khalifa?
To support the unprecedented height of the building, the engineers developed a new structural system called the buttressed core, which consists of a hexagonal core reinforced by three buttresses that form the 'Y' shape. This structural system enables the building to support itself laterally and keeps it from twisting.
Why does Burj Khalifa have that name?
the tower was named Burj Khalifa, said to honor the UAE President, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan for his crucial support.[17]
What is James and Oliver phelps address?

The decision to build Burj Khalifa is reportedly based on the government's decision to diversify from an oil based economy to one that is service and tourism oriented.
Inertia is the tendency of a stationary object to remain stationary and of a moving object to remain in motion. The elevator is exerting pressure against your body to get it moving up and gravity is pushing you down so you feel pressure. When going down the elevator is simply falling away from you at a slightly faster pace than gravity can keep up so you feel less pressure. These are what are called fictitious forces. Fictitious forces are not real forces in the sense that they don't come from an outside object, but as a result of trying to keep up with a changing environment.
Alternate Answer
Assume that travel distances are realistic for elevators near earth's surface. If the elevator is at rest, or if it is moving at a constant velocity in any direction, it is what is called an inertial frame of reference. Experiments done in one inertial frame will yield the same results as in any other inertial frame. There is no gravitational lag. So at constant velocity, there is no perception of lightness or heaviness or "moving elevator". In short, there is no pressing harder or lighter to the floor. See discussion; there are important limiting considerations if you are moving great distances.
[Quoted from above: When going down the elevator is simply falling away from you at a slightly faster pace than gravity can keep up so you feel less pressure.] If this were true when going down at constant velocity, then you would continue to float higher and higher until you are stopped by the ceiling of the elevator. It would have to mean that the elevator is accelerating downward faster than an object in free-fall, which in fact you would be. So this cannot be happening under zero acceleration.
