  1. But it's not objective evidence.
  2. As long as that person was not involved. A person saying they were attacked is testimony, not evidence. Evidence needs to have some sort of objectivity and separation from the persons involved.
  3. Do you see what you did there? You misreported but you did show quote. It's conditional but you presented it as absolute.
  4. Which will be adapted to that environment. It will likely be relatively rudimentary in what they can detect and the frequency range they can detect in. No doubt there are exceptions. Some organisms are luminescent, so some will be adapted to see that.
  5. It's not a stupid question. Making colour pigments takes energy (food, which will be scarce in the dark depths) and there is no evolutionary reason, like protecting from harmful light rays, hiding, etc for the fish to evolve to be coloured. To put it simply: deep sea organisms generally aren't going to make something they don't need to survive or reproduce, especially when food is hard to find.
  6. Say"Hi" to God for me.
  7. Yes, "Popular". My tastes were/are more niche (not popular in the mainstream sense) but I do like some rap with respect to the rhythm and flow.
  8. The "greatest" is always about the time of ones formative years. For me, it was the rock/blues guitarists of the 70's.
  9. She gets "raped" and was still attending parties in the same social scene? Whatever the case may be, every position, regardless of the prevailing fashionable sentiments for the MeToo movement, must be viewed dispassionately... just as they would be in a court of law. This is not a court case but the bar should be set the same in this case.
  10. I think he's referring to Sweetnick
  11. Its component superclusters are individually bound but not as a group. I think if you look at the universe's cobwebby structure on the large scale, the web strands that the SCs make up get thinner and further apart with the expansion; the voids between the strands become larger.
  12. The Laniakea SC is not gravitationally bound.
  13. Yeah, I was being absolutely simplistic. What are thermal neutrons; are there other types? I presume it's how they are generated that defines their type..
  14. As the universe expands, its energy is being diluted over a larger volume; it is cooling. Its final destiny is probably heat death.
  15. I'm in a good mood.
  16. It would seem that a lot of erasers are a rubber-type matrix with an abrasive embedded in it. Ozone, sunlight and general oxidation from air can break that matrix down that gives it rigidity. Think of old tyres with the cracks in the side walls; that's the matrix breaking down. In your case, it looks like it broke down into a mush rather than into bits.
  17. A nuclear reactor is basically hot metal with some coolant taking the heat away. A lot of the bulk is with materials and equipment to contain and use the nuclear material safely.
  18. The average temperature is decreasing as the universe expands, so, if you reverse the process, it will increase. Does that make sense?
  19. Snap! One is not as elastic as one used to be.
  20. The 'logic' is in the laws of nature that determine how things behave, along with a good dollop of probability.
  21. A cramp is usually short term. This is over a week. Muscle strain probably. There are a few injuries that come under that umbrella term, which would likely need a doc to be specific. It's tendons that anchor muscle to bone. Ligaments link bone to bone.
  22. The lingering pain part is inflammation, which is a response to injury
  23. Which she hasn't done, clearly. What's going to happen will happen.
