  1. i don't think they they are vacuumed but have an inert gas in them which has the same effect in preventing oxidation of the filament.
  2. I think there is a period when the system does backups, or something, but I'm not sure when it is.... it will be always be slow then.
  3. Yes. People will usually take the path of least resistance, especially in emotionally-charged situations.
  4. Douglas Adams playing with Pink Floyd
  5. This is a bigger subject than I intended.
  6. I got the impression from the article that employers are compelled and yet you word it in a way that suggests not. Is there a binding directive to provide such services?
  7. Is it not the role of government to provide such services? Why is the onus on employers in the US? I find this bizarre.

  19. Yes, that's what I suggested earlier Assuming GR's out of the equation because space and time have yet to emerge, could quantum effects still work and proceed without them in the light of current quantum physics?
  20. It eliminates infinity because it is not contingent upon it. I think it's important not to transpose our sense of time and space into a pre-BB scenario if they aren't modelled to be there, difficult though that is.
  21. If time emerged with the BB maybe it makes no sense to talk about 'before' and things occurred or proceeded in some sequence or manner not amenable to our temporal and spatial sense prior to the emergence of time and space.
