  1. When I choose to ignore a member's posts, their posts still appear in the Activities list, e.g., Is it possible to make them disappear from my view?
  2. Or something out of focus moving on or in front of the camera lens.
  3. In these videos, I don't see that the path is not parabolic and that it is at a constant speed.
  4. If it is small, dark, and fast, the camera and we don't see it, except maybe a white spot on a tail. Its body jumps straight, but the tail might zig-zag.
  5. I don't think it is an insect. Maybe a small rodent?
  6. Sigh... My cheating cousin - see above - just sent me email with the following closing sentence:
  7. I don't like it either, but apparently there is no rule against it. OTOH, it is easy to ignore.
  8. "Yug" is a measure of time, 4,320,000 years (12,000 divine years). "Sahastra" is a number, 1000. "Jojan" is a measure of distance, from 4 to 10 miles. Multiplying them does not make a distance, of course. Here is one of their propaganda articles: What is the meaning of line "Yug Shahstra Yojan par Bhanu" which is taken from Hanuman Chalisa?

The smaller segments cannot intersect or be contained inside any other segment besides the mother segment. 2. The lengths of the smaller segments must be N (N<1) times any existing segment inside the mother segment. 3. The system must contain the maximum number of segments of the same length as possible.
  15. Being inspired by the great success of my previous textbook giveaway posting, I've decided to post another: General Relativity: Wald, Robert M.: 9780226870335: Amazon.com: Books For the cost of shipping only.

  17. You are talking about a one-way trip, right? One just flies away and gone.
  18. I'd like to find a new home for this book. Just pay a shipping cost. Amazon.com: Student Friendly Quantum Field Theory: Volume 1: Basic Principles and Quantum Electrodynamics: 9780984513956: Klauber, Robert D.: Books
  19. The source gives the following "warning" before one reads the details: Pay attention to the last sentence.
