    Aether Question

    Yeah, that the aether was the medium for all EMR to propogate through in space (many people I know didn't really see this as a feature, but it is). I don't think the can't be detected part was a feature, more it was invisible etc., and that was the point of the M-M experiment (to indicate it...

    Aether Question

    2003 HSC Physics Question 18 a) Outline 2 features of the aether model for the transmission of light. Answers include; - Aether considered to be rigid, highly elastic, very low density. - Aether at complete rest + so provided reference frame for all other motion (universal reference frame)...

    Repeating year 12

    Though, he wants to do new subjects (doesn't like Physics etc.), so he will need to do Preliminary as well. Ultimately, it ends up being 2 years instead for his new subjects (unless you can do the Preliminary + HSC parts in one year)?

    Aether Question

    Trust me, features / properties / characteristics, they all basically mean the same thing. You've basically got all the features of the aether too; - Filled all of space. - Low density. - Perfectly transparent. - Permeate all matter (goes through matter). - Permeable to objects (objects go...

    Distinction Course Discussion

    Firstly, congrats to people that chose Philosophy. I've done it before, and it is a great course. Also, seriously stop stressing. These things aren't impossible to get into, and especially if you've looked at some former Distinction Course students (they all don't get 90+). Just be patient.

    Your Extension One actually sounds a bit interesting. I may look into it, thanks. Nothing wrong with gaming.

    Seriously, Dot Point / Get Smart = very good (basically covers everything / concise). Indeed useful.

    Answering biology exam question

    I had a similar issue in that I wrote too much. However, as long as it is relevant, it doesn't matter (especially 6 / 7 / 8 mark questions which tend to require it). I believe topping this subject also partly came from the basis that I did tend to write too much / write much more compared to...

    Anyone else crapping themself?

    +1. With no real basis, you seem like you will get that >80 rank.

    What YOU put into YOUR HSC

    Not too much at all. With my level of effort, I didn't expect to top all my subjects save one. However, Philosophy was easily the best part. Furthermore, obviously not 100% effort, more around <50%.

    Changing Schools Mid Year?

    A guy came into our school at the beginning of the next year / Term 1 / 2 / whatever people call it. The mark he gained in each of the first assessment tasks he did at our school (which were all exams) for his subjects were used as the marks for all the previous tasks he missed in Term 4 / 1.

    Worst TV Show(s)

    No. Yes, shallow. Show = fail.

    HSC Assessment Marks/Ranks

    If you don't recall or understand that, oh well. Also, the statement relates to the obsessive nature of many HSC participants. If you don't understand, it acts as an exaggeration, and applies as a general statement to certain people. Yes, and also, I don't care of whether I know you, and...
