  1. I'm pretty OCD about finshing a book, but 'Anna Karenina' managed to bore me to the point that I actually gave up :/
  2. Try the 'The Metamorphosis'. Weird yet thought provoking.
  3. You can't discount evidence just because it doesn't support your belief. Papers were put forward by several groups anyways. Whole slew of people were looking into it. Have you looked at the n-body problem any? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-body_problem
  4. Pioneer Anomaly was solved and it turned out not to be G changing.
  5. What is making the water move?
  6. We're a visual species, so strongly react to blood, but bullets are more dangerous. Bullets are cutting, bouncing and shattering. Large amount of damage via the formation and collapse of the temporary cavity too.
  7. Indiana Jones fan when younger. While on an online bulletin board it prevented me from using Indy, so changed the "I" to an "E". Avatar is of either a futuristic Earth or space colony. Thought it looked good and we touch on those subjects regularly here. *remains deeply concerned
  8. Punches... thrown stones and wood... persistence hunting... herding animals off cliffs or into traps... Even without many tools we can bring down almost anything.
  9. Do they mention gender of the children anywhere?
  10. For some the half-life is crazy long. Even if the site is gone the radiation might remain. Climate change only requires getting to the industrial age though. Is also possible for whole continents to be lost. I don't think it probable all evidence of a wide spread civilization could vanish but there are possibilities.
  11. Hypothetical traffickers regularly engaged in violating our sovereign airspace and kidnapping our citizens. Why the lights? Are they stationing lookouts, need them to avoid collisions, purely aesthetics or what?
  12. The real question, what do aliens use these lights for?
  13. Here's consumer reports talking about it: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars-why-tires-go-flat-in-cold-weather/ Peesonally haven't this seen much due to cold weather, but have when filling air tanks. Either have to cool, overfill(Caution!) or fill let cool then fill again. https://www.trails.com/facts_22657_why-cool-scuba-tanks-filling.html
  14. Could you be cherry picking something that you think supports your position?
  15. Should check with a mechanical guage, that'll tell you one way or another.
  16. Really doesn't sound correct based on the material.
  17. Likely Gay-Lussac's law in action. Pressure dropping with the temperature.
  18. What does the relative passage of time have to do with the Universe transitioning to a cooler lower density state?
  19. In the book, there's a figure of a square potential well above. Looks like talking about a constant V that is also less than zero.
  20. Still 'manned'.. If we can get up to a decent fraction of c, trips could be really short, but slow boat options work too.
  21. Note 'Observer' has different meanings in physics. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_(physics) Doesn't require a mind. That's more a Pop-sci fiction.
  22. Definitely interesting. Had kind of wondered why mitochondria seemed unique in the body in terms of propping one another up. Good to know that cells do have something similar they can use. Preventing it could definitely help with cancer too if that's a key part of their resistance.
  23. Looks still being developed. https://www.power-technology.com/projects/statkraft-osmotic/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotic_power
  24. Image is out of focus. ie. Fan in the background. ...and yeah, typically front of eye component issue. Lens, eye muscles, cornea. Too many photons(on their many many routes) can make clear vision impossible.
  25. Seeing a trick where white phosphorus is used to make self combusting paper. Maybe something similar going on.
