Yeah, I would say traits are the defining feature. Code length also plays a role in helping to correct and limit the damage caused by mutations, so there won't necessarily be a correlation to complexity.

Quantum mechanics occurs everywhere. Your computer makes use of quantum tunneling for instance. BB & Singularities: We only know how events(generally) unfolded past a certain point in time. -------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ? Hot Dense state(Big Bang) Present We don't know there was or ever are any singularities. Whenever you see singularity in a scientific context instead think, "math result, may not be real".

1/3 and 0.333... are one and the same. Another way to look at it is that 1/3 contains all the necessary information to fully describe 0.333... Anything that can be encapsulated like this our devices(and we ourselves) can work with, at 100% precision. You can multiply 6 by 1/3, for instance. You probably just skipped the addition of the infinite series of (0.3*6)+(0.03*6)+(0.003*6) + ... and instead leapt to the result of 2.

For consistency, everything on one side of the equals sign needs to equal everything on the other side of the equals sign. That is the only hard rule though. they are describing different things. The first is 1/acceleration.

I've seen sites made for hacking in an educational context. A game expanding upon this premise could be interesting. Finding the right balance between boredom and maintaining interest would likely be the biggest challenge. I've seen the dumber down game versions, but they always walk you through what you need to do. No need for coding knowledge, no waiting for the inevitable bugged update, trying unexpected inputs, eyeballing the code hunting for assumptions or perusing user comments for evidence of bugs/glitches. Should note there are automated programs to find exploits, out there as well.

Provided you remain consistent, everything is good. s2/m = s * s/m You can even go further and do: (s2/m) / kg = N-1

You end up doing a comparison / finding a ratio between the two. Twice as fast = 2:1 = 2 = 140km/h / (70km/h) = 140km/h * 1h/70km

The non-obvious issue is that any simulator can not update the state all at once.

From the view of someone on Earth, you will be. Every reaction, your respiration, thought, etc. goes at the slower rate(from their perspective). From your own perspective though everything will progress normally onboard.

Ah, okay wasn't aware of the population composition. ...and yeah, I've been watching BBC. Thinking back, I was aware of the UK, Canada, Australia association; but not that there were additional members. News makes much more sense now. Yeah, this was a large part of what prompted this. Some of it is just the fact that I only need to hear so many different takes on the same event and half the time everyone is rehashing AP material(which can be more directly found on AP's station).

I've gotten hooked on watching foreign news stations lately and have noticed seemily disproportionate coverage. Is there a reason for it? Economic or sentimental? Not the only pair of countries I've noticed either, just the one that first jumped out at me.

Those are likely Private Security Officers that you are seeing. Generally they can detain but not arrest and are focused more on deterrence than apprehension. If it is done right, it can work out well. You don't see this 'police can do no wrong' attitude when private security officers screw up. Good economic incentive not to. Needs to be contract based with direct/community oversight to ensure policing is in line with community standards.

I don't think many of our crops are considered invasive, though most are nonnative. To qualify as invasive they need to be good at spreading without our deliberate assistance.

Should actually be an undefined density(Finite Mass / Zero Volume). Note that present scientific thought is leaning away from singularities having any real existence.

Have to reason more along the lines that a great number of people noticed that upon raising crops on land left untended they had a better harvest. Then they made up an explanation to fit. You should never want to be the guy claiming that hand washing is unfounded or that there is no basis to let your land lie fallow. Obviously there was/is a basis, they just didn't have what we term evidence in support.

It evolved over time sure. One hopes it would have considering they had a few thousand years to make improvements. As a concept though the idea of land remaining fallow had to start somewhere. If you knew nothing better though even without possessing any understanding the reasons behind it, you would still be rationally better off following a biblical passage as compared with continually raising crops on single plot of land. Honestly the number 7 probably relates back to the(earlier) flood myth. We still have our hoary old week hanging about. yeah, there is that aspect as compared with our modern methods. Just to note, Shmita is still a fairly big deal. Honestly I didn't even know there was a biblical connection myself before searching. I just knew that letting land lie fallow fell into that same category of "rational yet non-obvious". You see something like that and you can be virtually assured it traces back to superstition or religion.

You have just rather cavalierly dismissed an important aspect of crop rotation. I honestly figured you would spot that one. Today we compost but the 'let it rot where it is' solution could reasonably be expected to improve yields in later years as well. And there are indeed vintners who still practice this today. http://www.timesofisrael.com/after-rockets-farmer-races-to-recover-before-going-fallow/ Our ancestors sometimes figured things out and passed it down to us in the form of religious passages and superstitions. Sometimes instead of passing along wisdom they confused correlation and causation or just made crap up. Either you shouldn't commit a logical fallacy yourself in thinking of it as merely a 'moldy old book'.

I say, meh because sometimes something apparently irrational is the correct action within the basis of the information you do have. Leviticus 25:2-7, "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD. Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land. And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee, And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat." Absolutely retarded, right? Letting land lie fallow for a year.

Meh, getting into decision making with incomplete information there. For plants their best strategy is going to hinge upon on timing. Timing done via light sensors can be thrown off by light pollution. For some plants the moon could reasonably act as a source of light pollution. That's the gist of my logic. Practically speaking we could talk purely in terms of varying light levels over a span of time without ever mentioning any astronomical objects.

They are saying it is a superstition, which is true, but also that the facts presented provide a possible logical reason for the development of that superstition. After a bit of rewriting: Interestingly this general concept comes up in a text book, with some guy famous for going on a boat ride and writing a book providing an alternative explaination. https://books.google.com/books?id=qm83oUAjupgC&pg=PT230&lpg=PT230&dq=nastic+movements+legumes&source=bl&ots=M6VHH9E8kM&sig=2Llugzwb80WUtKq7s3DtkZYHM10&hl=en&sa=X&ei=G1EcVfr4JcG9ggTaioHICQ&ved=0CFUQ6AEwDA#v=onepage&q=nastic%20movements%20legumes&f=false Either way, little research since the 70's. Have at it. Were it me, I'd give evolution another chance to come up with a proper clock and not this sensor based nonsense we all use.

Yeah, that was the same point I was making. Not that it has an impact on crop yields, but that it could have an impact. Honestly, having to pick between tides and moonlight makes it a pretty easy choice, especially considering we're talking about plants here. Possibly there is some plant some where in the world that can sense the tides, but it is unlikely to be in anyone's gardens. http://www.biog1445.org/demo/07/plantgrowthlight.html is where I found that bit from, though there is a proper paper available online as well. What impact, how much of an impact and whether it is even the same for different crops are all things OP could realistically hope to investigate.

Only aspect that could realistically have an impact is moonlight(or lack thereof). Nocturnal flower pollination, nocturnal pests, photoperiodic time measurement interference; would be what you would want to look into.

Is it air or water cooled? General steps would be to swap out the oxygen cylinder, tighten your fittings and test for leaks.
