Realitycheck

And here is an easy to use catalog: http://www.planetary.org/exoplanets/list.php

However, black holes are most likely dead and very cold while neutron stars still radiate.

"The diameter would be equivalent to the distance between Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia ..." Where? Ok, it's about that far across. Now I just have to scale the length on the map.

Those pictures have definitely been spruced up.

You honestly believe that humans lived 900+ years, that the story is not just exagerrated to explain the benefits of a responsible and civil family life, as opposed to raping and pillaging? Or is it against your religion to say it?

Something with a bunch of tiny barbs on it, like insects' legs and linemen's boots.

You really don't believe that a singularity must be absolutely pointlike, do you, or is it just one side of your brain telling you that it must fit a certain way? Ahh yes, for all intents and purposes. I thought giving it a finite, reasonable concrete value was a solution to a problem.

nm, trying to do it in my head

My apologies, I am guilty of citing a flimsy, third party source, despite the fact that he appears to be a liberal reporting against his typical platform. I was having trouble locating the smoking gun, since the abstract is hardly representative of the claims made in the blog, in a hurry on my cheap phone. He uses some pretty strong words. I just can't imagine a liberal distorting the facts so severely if he's going against his platform. But alas, digging a little deeper, I found a Discover Magazine blogger contradicting his report, so I would agree that further investigation is warranted. http://www.biggovernment.com/tag/anthropogenic

Somewhere, I read that pneumoniae was the toughest, but couldn't find any corroborating evidence or details.

Fruits are part of the reproductive process. They just happen to be high in vitamins and bioflavonoids, not to mention sugar.

Chydorus sphericus, a Great Lakes zooplankton, lives in 3.4 to 9.5 and Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria, grows from 4.5 to 9.6.

It's amazing what the mytholgy of modern day science fiction can impress upon people. It's like, "Well, maybe. You don't know that for sure." So the idea of ftl travel with faster than ftl asteroid scanning really holds a grip on some people.

Like I said, I am pro clean air, but if you choose to ignore puffery, that's your spiel. Maybe you just didn't read about it. I have not changed my perspective, and how do my links diverge from the topic?

It would be a straight line, if time wasn't affected by other things.

Oops, I was wrong about the experiment involving the planes - it was a different one called HIPPO. So we have two new studies concluding increased global warming caused by natural sources. Interesting to see what a little fabrication can do to scientists' resolve. http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/ngeo1267.html http://rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/369/1943/2073.short

Infinity times zero is zero because zero kills the equation, by law. Nothing, nada, kaput. We're not talking about how one number affects another, like in addition or subtraction. We're talking about a product between a rational, yet undefined number and zero, which always produces zero.

Time is shaped like a neverending, curved, 3-dimensional line.

If you want to add these other conditions correlated with these more expansive formulas, you can, but it's not the same formula anymore. 1/0 does not equal infinity though, but I see where you're coming from. Chalk it up to semantics. Undefined is not a number, equals zero. For a bit of humor, see: http://www.undefined.net/1/0

How about these new results delivered by Cern via Nature Journal attributing much of global warming to cosmic rays, "the most comprehensive study yet"? Don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, as I am a proponent of clean air. I'm wondering if this is the same unprecedented study that I heard about recently involving planes measuring air temperatures all throughout the atmosphere around the world for 3 years, most likely. I wonder how big of a role CO2 plays in comparison to cosmic rays.

Yeah, I know, it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I had to dig around just for this, but I didn't really want to include projections, just solid numbers instead of rankings or percentages. I also wanted to display the countries that were contributing the largest volumes to population growth, not just the highest percentages. Plus, fertility rate charts ended up not being very accurate with respect to population increases in areas where mortality was high, so I just started focusing on population increases alone. Maybe one of these days I'll run into chart central.

The overwhelming gravity just completely collapses the atomic structure into one big heap, eliminating the relatively huge amount of space between nucleus and electron. Proton and electron merge into neutrons. Everything fuses together effectively into one completely solid "singularity".
