what is that stuff in a glow stick that makes it glow:roll:
Have a look at this and se if it helps

or for the chemisrty behind the reaction
http://www.cheresources.com/chemilum.shtml
The chemical reaction in a light stick usually involves several different steps. A typical commercial light stick holds a hydrogen peroxide solution and a solution containing a phenyl oxalate ester and a fluorescent dye. Here's the sequence of events when the two solutions are combined:
Thanks to Google. and howstuffworks
- The hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the phenyl oxalate ester, resulting in a chemical called phenol and an unstable peroxyacid ester.
- The unstable peroxyacid ester decomposes, resulting in additional phenol and a cyclic peroxy compound.
- The cyclic peroxy compound decomposes to carbon dioxide.
- This decomposition releases energy to the dye.
- The electrons in the dye atoms jump to a higher level, then fall back down, releasing energy in the form of light.
Sorry - Wood Butcher beat me....
thanks ..son and mate snapped 2 open and had glowing hands ,,,kids!!:((
all that hair on my back,, now l know

Google.au says we evolved from Bob Hawke. :oo:
if you want to see the evolution of the human race in reverse, put your tv on channel Ten at 11:15 tonight. Cops... there are some stoopid cats on that:buttkick:
:death:
not a exact sience there makeing it up as they go
but come on 42 is just as beleavable as the big magic man:)(
actually if you were to ask the question of the meaning of life and everything on this forum you would get the answer 42 far more than any other answer , why........ because it is the answer ...........and until you truly understand the total concept why then you will never understand ( it all started with the druids ) seven standing stones each with six sides the inner circle at Bornholm amongst others.
or mabye they havent bothered to find you , ever asked yourself why :)
when l was in drinking my red wine stage l think one looked at me funny:)(
42 may well be the meaning of life but what does life mean?
