  1. The more 'pieces' of knowledge you have, the more permutations are possible in creating new combinations of those pieces.
  2. People may have different criteria as to constitutes caring and, therefore, one may, in the eyes of another, be seen to not care. Sometimes, people say they care but it's only a feeling in their heads and never manifests in an actual physical act of caring and, as such, the recipient senses nothing.
  3. Pure imagination without the anchor of knowledge is just vapour.
  4. Isn't 'theoretical' or 'bleeding edge' chemistry more the domain of physics since the underlying or fundamental mechanisms are physical rather than chemical?
  5. You are not yet ready to countenance the finite nature of your life and, so, create other possibilities. It is not an easy task to embrace the former but the realities you will surely experience in the future will make it more desirable.
  6. Any holes in your maths can be filled at Khan Academy A specific chem maths book: The Chemistry Maths Book - Steiner https://www.amazon.com/Chemistry-Maths-Book-Erich-Steiner/dp/0199205353#customerReviews
  7. Reading that piece of the Constitution, which I think is lousily written should read: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State; the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed. It needed a semicolon. Or my way: A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, but the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Both of my amendments mean the same thing.
  8. I'm thinking in the sense of whatever version a person happens to come across at the time. They may be looking for something they don't know the form the answer is going to take.
  9. What if you lost the path to contentment? A particular religion or philosophy may help you regain it. In that sense, one may need them in order to achieve it.
  10. Ontological (What things are) discussions have taken place here several times over the years and the general response from physicists is that they study behaviour and the intrinsic nature of phenomena is not their domain. What I've come to realise is that it's not really possible to describe fundamental properties in a way that relates to our everyday experience. Quantitative measurements of a phenomena's parameters and how they relate is about the best you can do.
  11. The more you look into it the more you realise that 'we' are as much the bacteria we host as our bodies. When you think of the Earth, you think of everything in it and on it, as well as its geology; that's what people are: mini-Earths. That's how I see it.
  12. They've discovered a new form of signal, how can that not be worth looking for?
  13. They weren't looking for something new they were looking to confirm a prediction. We have learnt that, yet again, the old bugger was right. Because he was right this may open opportunities to explore further back in to the evolution of the universe, at least. You are, perhaps naively, trivialising this very difficult effort and its results.
  14. Which really need legislating for separately.
  15. Well, people have been picking at GR for 102 years, so it's highly probable.
  16. Yes, it interests me. It's called the Gut-Brain Axis.
  17. There's TWO detectors 3000 miles apart and they've detected them SIX times (3 lots of two independent observations; as I mentioned before) and all those observations agree with GR. Tar. Unless one understands the maths of the theory and the techniques used for their observations one is not in a realistic position to critique this work in any meaningful way. The best you, and I, can do is try to understand what is given.
  18. The definitive reference.
  19. They actually detected them six times with two detectors; Three each.
  20. Skin So Soft by Avon was what I used to use for them when fishing. I think it's based on citronella.
  21. I use a messenger bag big enough to carry a 15.4 inch laptop. They can have pockets outside the main compartment of sizes specific for certain items like phone, wallet etc.
  22. A legend in his own mind.
  23. They've only got snow, ice and pine trees so not a lot to go out for.
