  1. I think the main driver of Brexit was that many don't want total integration with the EU, which is is what France and others want.
  2. Yes, it's not labelled a 'black problem'. because, at the end of the day, they are British and it is therefore a British problem.
  3. Yes. You might find something useful in this Wiki article about basal metabolic rate in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_metabolic_rate
  4. The minimum rate to keep a cell functioning. A 250Kg bodybuilder is going to have a higher demand, even when resting, than someone smaller simply because he's got more cells to keep alive even without exercising.
  5. Each cell needs fuel for basic metabolic maintenance, so, more cells = more fuel.
  6. Yeah.
  7. Everybody, so far, who has promoted such a view has this need to feel special.
  8. I think the upper limit of physical 2D is probably a graphene molecule, which is basically a flat hexagon of carbon atoms.
  9. Only by our own metric. What's not intelligence about this?:
  10. A "Particle" is an excitation in a field really; it just means it has a discrete energy but no spatial extent.
  11. IQ tests were originally designed for subjects with specific cognitive deficits and they are a way of finding which parts of the cognition set are problematic and need assistance with. They were not intended to measure people with normal cognition. It's a tool for a specialist not a layman.
  12. There is an electrical source causing induction Fluorescent tubes can light up under power lines. https://gizmodo.com/361390/1301-florescent-bulbs-lit-solely-by-magnetic-fields
  13. A projection of a triangle onto a screen would make the triangle 2D since the photon is a point particle.
  14. And yet you say: in the space of 5 points it's gone from "large" to "mere" I sense you are trying to semantically magnify the effect that whites are cleverer than blacks but diminish the effect that Asians are cleverer than whites. I sense you have a racist agenda.
  15. I think the OP should be advised to look up past discussions on this topic,.
  16. They won't serve gays but they'll serve people who may be murderers, molesters, fraudsters, without batting an eyelid.
  17. "They who is with sin shall not be served." Everybody would go bankrupt.
  18. That doesn't contradict what Yadingus said. It just means that they are not exposed to enough sunlight. That's a problem of environment not innate ability. It rains a lot in Ireland and cloudy.
  19. How is he talking about absolutes? He specifically said "general". Not all Ethiopians need to be runners for the best runners to be Ethiopian.
  20. When you feel like a Galileo it's time to take a step back and look at your idea..
  21. You know more than many of us and your input is welcomed by me and I'm sure others. You have a good way of explaining quite difficult ideas.
  22. I think he means GR describing the big stuff and QT describing the small stuff and they meet somewhere or overlap. Essentially, they are exclusive to their respective domain as a matter of nature and not as limit of human knowledge..
