    To welcome our new robotic overlords. https://slashdot.org/journal/2...

  2. Or maybe I was calling BS. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t...

    It was very long and seemed confused. I'll just say the insisting on lab conditions probably gets him off on a false start. Plasmas don't require electric input to exist. They can be created by collisions or photo excitation or pressure or just the tearing of spacetime. EMP is a manifestation of the resistance he later claims does not exist. As a rule of thumb, stuff that says engineers know what scientists don't when talking about science is usually screwball.

  4. OK, tumor prone rat then. I was just trying to save you money on feed since has to be rad free too.

  5. It often evokes emotions as can be seen by the reactions here.

    You missed C14 recoil in dna.

  7. You just don't like the guy's led gadget.

  8. Simple way to check. Make rad free environment and raise tumor prone mice there. Just need to centrifuge out C14 and K40 from a Goldstakes mine lab.

    I thought his gadget was cool.

  10. Art is not usually judged on utility. And LNT is the model used for regulation so your claim seems unfounded.

    I'll try to read all of it, but it contains basic conceptual errors at the beginning, so I doubt it will be ultimately persuasive.

    Why are you so frightened of nuclear waste? It can be very easy to deal with. Just don't make it.

    Suspect a gravity sandwich would have little delay in detections. You are right that LIGO expansion will help.

    There is a new MNRAS paper on reconnection in grbs http://arxiv.org/abs/1509.0219... but what I'm thinking of is a sulution to a lack of plasma around a black hole pair. The orbits are all unstable so matter should be consumed prior to merger. What then emits light? Magnetic reconnection can produce a pair plasma, and on a large enough scale, it might be Compton thick (briefly). You might end up with an isotropic (ish) burst as the plasma decays....

  17. Magnetic reconnection? on Mysterious Gamma-Ray Burst May Be Linked To Gravitational Wave Find (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    While blackholes have no hair, a pair of blackholes with different charges orbiting one another might. The merger might lead to a hair cut that leaves strands needing to resolve through reconnection in real space, causing pair production and destruction leading to gamma emission.

    We won't run out at the current rate of use in ten years. Regarding rare earths, they are not particularly rare, we can meet more than our energy requirements with what is available. Interestingly, we may expect a glut in some materials. https://slashdot.org/journal/2...

    I was interested to learn that junking tankers contributes to a glut of steel in a transition. Those worried that wind power needs lots of steel may have missed how much fossil fuels use. https://slashdot.org/journal/2...

  22. Consider the poor investors on Fossil Fuels Could Be Phased Out Worldwide In a Decade, Says Study (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    manishs worries about the cost of dumping old infrastructure to investors. However, smart investors will take advantage of the opportunity. Stanford was out of coal stocks before they tanked, while Harvard's coal country president, Drew Faust, has cost Harvard big time with her dubious loyalties to fossil fuels. There is essentially no cost to investors that avoid buying buggy whip stock.
