The important thing is that the current models will still keep working. Einstein supplanted Newton but many still use the latter's work where GR doesn't matter.

Until somebody comes up with a better solution you could try the advanced version of Paint. http://www.getpaint.net/download.html

Cool.

This is why we must care about AGW now.

Don't worry about it. It's ok to disagree, and possibly get minused for it. This is the beauty of freedom of speech. You are a young person and conforming with the laws and customs of your country... how can you know or do any different at your age? As you get older and more experienced, you will learn to think for yourself more and decide for yourself if the laws of your land are all just and equitable.

Yes, even if you could create a perfect 1:1 mechanical system you couldn't do any work with it without it stopping because a closed system can contain only a finite amount of useful energy. There's not just one insurmountable hurdle there's two.

Something like that?

It's a good idea to quote your source and link to it like this. Not doing so opens you to accusations of plagiarism.

That makes sense to me. Dissolved CO2 creates Carbonic acid

Indeed... so, when are going to open them? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/Global_Temperature_Anomaly.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_record

You can't expect a humble clockmaker to see the potential.

You want continual smiles, it doesn't have to be finite. I suppose a lot of it is a widespread incurable desire to improve ones social status, and one will not be happy until one is standing on the very zenith of it! I think this is the major discontent. You see it all over the place. In India it is embraced and such ideas openly expressed by all echelons of this country. It seems alien to me but it is apparently normal to desire class and status.

How contentment manifests itself is not the same for everyone, it doesn't mean meeting the minimum to survive, it means enough to be content. I think about emergence a lot and it simultaneously fascinates and puzzles how you can put two or three elements together and something completely different and much more powerful emerges that bears little or no resemblance to the original components; literally 2+2=5. If you looked at those components and tried to predict the product that might arise from putting them together, you'd be totally wrong! I think contentment or the sense of freedom is emergent as well.

Yes, life needs to be sufficiently dynamic otherwise you have no reference.

Mordred and I have separately mentioned about an idea to pull nutrients off the seafloor to sustain large populations of oceanic phytoplankton for more cloud cover, reduced sea acidity, oxygen production and reducing carbon dioxide. The only problem is an accessible power source. If some of the power from the oceanic power plant could be drawn to power oceanic-upwelling machinery situated around the rig you could be killing a few more birds with one stone; sorting climate change and supplying the grid.

People should pursue peace of mind as the goal rather than objects, even though they may be part of the journey.

A content one is the ideal since all needs are met.

This popped up on Phys.Org the other day:

Very well put and put into focus what I've gradually come to realise as I read more. Perhaps the future lies somewhere in understanding the optimal microbiota hierarchies for us and our livestock and repairing them back to the optimal model.

Yes, flag-waving shows some kind of respect or allegiance to what that flag represents.

If ABs are given in suboptimal doses, bacteria have strategies for nullifying their effects. This gives a window for some of the bacteria to mutate into a fully antibiotic-resistant version, which can then persist further down the food chain or even dominate. the colony. Think of antibiotics as evolutionary selectors; if you keep selecting, for the fittest, the antibiotics will eventually fail. The more times you use a particular antibiotic across subjects, the quicker you are selecting for the fittest, so, it renders the antibiotic useless sooner. The important thing with maintaining antibiotic efficacy is to only use them when absolutely necessary.

The intact flask in Pasteur's experiment kept out spoilage bacteria for long enough to show that the other broken flask cultured first, thus proving his premise. I suspect, if you leave it for longer, bacterial spores will eventually get in there to spoil it, same as in a sprouter using pre-boiled water.

According to this Wiki it has been synthesised but not confirmed by IUPAC yet. It shows some properties.

Yes, I think the entrants are working in some capacity in the industry.

Yes, just because the law's changed doesn't mean that all of society synchronises with it. What I've come to realise, is that it takes a whole generation at least, for a piece of legislature like this to be embodied within the collective psyche of a society. When you think about it, for the newly emerging babies and young, equality is all they will ever know and then, give it another generation, they become politically influential.
