What does the formation of heavy elements tell us about the age of the solar system?
Q. What does the fact that heavier elements are formed from supernovas tell us about the age of our solar system? Part of my physics project - I need a few pointers as I'm a bit stuck! All I can think of is that it tells us our solar system is ancient because supernovas happen after billions of years of a sun being 'stable'. Is that on the right track? So if these elements are only produced from supernovas, then does that make them virtually non-renewable?

A. In the early days of the universe, all that existed was hydrogen, helium and traces of lithium. That's all. All other element were formed in the core of stars and was liberated when those stars went supernova. The heavier elements enriched the cosmic gas, which can then form solar systems and planets with a higher proportion of those. Therefore, given that our system has a fair amount of heavier elements (oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, iron, etc.) then it has to have formed from gas that had been around quite a bit (actually, estimations are that our sun is a 3rd generation star), therefore cannot be as old as the universe, since it had to wait for those 1st and 2nd generation stars to go supernova to provide the raw material. So, it is a (rela [cont.]

What should I do about an apartment complex unfairly charging us for an extra half month?
Q. We had several difficulties with them, including false accusation of property damage. We had a lease that ran through March. We called to see what kind of notice we needed to give about moving out, the assistant property mgr told us 30 Days. Now they are trying to collect pro-rated rent for April because they say we were supposed to give a 60-Day Notice. We don't feel that we should have to pay for thier mistake when we called ahead in advance to ask.

A. I don't know what state you live in, but almost all state have a Fair Housing Board that is governed by the state. You canusuallyy find them in thegovernmentt pages in the front of your phone book. Thirty day notice is the norm. Check out Legal Aid in your county or state also and a lot of states have a listing for renters rights too. If you call one and don't get the answer your looking for ask them who would know or who can help you. Google rental laws for where you live. Good luck. A lot of landlord will takeadvantagee if they can or maybe they don't know whats legal. There are usally firm laws reguarding damage. They cannot make you pay for normal wear and tear and they have to prove the other damages.

How do I go about purchasing a SIM card in the US for use in international European travel?
Q. I'm going to be traveling to Europe in a couple weeks, and I'm trying to get cell phone service while I'm there. I've got my hands on an unlocked GSM phone, but I'm curious how I go about purchasing a SIM card for use in international travel. I know that you can buy SIM cards for one country at a time, but can you buy a SIM card that will work in multiple countries? Are there any companies in the US that sell these SIM cards so that I could buy one before I travel? Thanks!

You do need a prepaid SIM card. And it's only possible to buy a SIM card for multiple countries IF that service is availble in that country. I'm posting a link at the bottom that lists a SIM card that will work in multiple countries; I hope this helps you.

I live abroad and would like to sponsor my husband to immigrate to the US. How do I go about it?
Q. I have been living abroad for over 10 years and have never filed income taxes in that time. I don't owe anything, but I know I should have filed anyway, I was just too lazy to figure out how. Now I'm married and am expecting our first child in a few weeks. We're ready to move to the US but I'm worried about the tax thing. Will this be a major issue? Can I overcome this? Also, is it possible to live in one country but apply for immigration in another? We live in China, but my husband is from a small African country. It would be faster and easier to go through their embassy, but am I allowed to do that? My husband goes there often on business, but I legally reside in China. Can anyone give me real answers?

A. I assume you are a US citizen. If you did not owe any tax then failure to file is not an offense and there is no penalty. If your non-liability for tax depends on claiming the foreign earned income exclusion, then you need to file back tax returns for six years (although the IRS is not excluded from demanding earlier returns or claiming tax for earlier years, it generally does not do so, nor does it usually want nonfilers to bother with earlier tax returns). In general the IRS is glad to cooperate in nonfilers regularizing their status. If you work in China for a US organization or a subsidiary of one, then your spouse may be eligible for "expedited naturalization" irrespective of never having lived in the USA.

A. I completely agree with you. The only reason people in America complain so much is because they see commercials for nice things all the time, and as soon as they see these, whatever they already have becomes inadequate in their eyes. This is the exact response the companies want from us, because that will make us buy their product. We should all just be grateful that we are fed and clothed, with warm houses and people to love that are still alive. Not everyone gets that.

What do I need to know about sending a soda (among other things) as a gift to Canada from the US?
Q. I've never shipped anything to Canada (let alone soft drinks) before, and looked at previous answers and saw links to a site that made getting it there seem incredibly complicated. Is this going to be too much trouble? I wanted to surprise a friend with a Japanese soda and some other gifts for her birthday. What should I know about a.) sending to Canada from the US, and b.) shipping a liquid?

A. From reading the USPS website, it seems like you could ship soda within the US with permission, but not internationally without all kinds of permits, due to a hazard of explosion. You could try shipping it to her with UPS or FedEx. They don't say anything specifically about carbonated liquids on their website, but I don't know for sure if would be something you'd need to specially package and label or if they'd ship it internationally.

What does the proportion of lead and uranium in a rock tell us about the age of the rock?

A. In theory, it will give you a relative age. Uranium will eventually decay into lead at a given rate. If you have an idea as to the amount of uranium you start with, and compare it with the ratio of lead to uranium you have now, you will be able to figure out relatively how old the rock is. It is all based on the half-life of uranium.

What are your opinions about foreigner researchers getting government grants in the US?
Q. Directly or indirectly many foreigners (grad,undergrad, postdocs, professors, etc) in research get US government grants. What are your opinions about this fact? "Why must we support Mexico?" I am not sure why this is related to the topic.

A. Research only increases the size of our current body of knowledge, whether it's done by foreigners in the US or US Citizens in a foreign country. Ideas travel the globe to be built upon by others, no matter where they are. A lot of research takes place in the US b/c there are facilities, substantial capital/money, equipment, accessible resources, complete freedom to express and exchange ideas, and readily available support (grad students in academia).
