Thank you. I should've known the distinction between baryonic dark matter (not-glowing-ordinary-proton-and-neutron-stuff) and the spooky kind that doesn't interact with light.
What percentage of dark matter would these account for? Or is the mass of these sub-stellar objects already included in gravitational models of galaxies?
When my children reached the age of firmly questioning Santa's existence, I took each aside and told them that parts of the Santa story are fiction and parts are quite real. There is no reindeer, sleigh, north pole,... and yet "he" sees you when you're sleeping and knows what you want and gifts really do arrive under the tree almost simultaneously around the globe! I then told them that WE are Santa Claus and I welcomed them to the club. "Remember: Don't spoil it for the little ones."
So if we are the hands of Santa Claus, might it not also be true that we are the hands of a creator? "Santa Claus's will" is sufficiently encoded in a few myths and jaunty songs. Is "God's will" sufficiently encoded in physics and genetics? E=MC2 and "survival of the fittest" might make nice jingles.
Careful, though, this line of thought could lead a thinking person to believe that the awakening in the hereafter will involve a lesson from a benevolent father. Don't spoil it for the little ones.
There is no cost of inciting fear in the public. And fear brings huge opportunities for money and influence. How do we impose a cost on fear mongerers? Ooooh... how about a tax on Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and 60 Minutes? Justice at last.
Stories like this will (soon) be as quaint as the circa 1909 stories about flivvers racing from Dover to Calais. Will it be Zn-air batteries or fuel cells or next-gen Li ion... ?
I suspect I am not the only happy ATT subscriber / iPhone user. Few, if any dropped calls. 3G where I need it, EDGE in the exurbs / boonies. Simple, reliable, easy.
Granted I live in the Minneapolis area, not Silicon Valley or midtown Manhattan. But overbuilt cities with inadequate infrastructure have many congestion issues, why should this be any different?
I suspect a few more atoms were used for the lasers that generate the optical containment and the device that applies the magnetic field and whatever was used to cool those two atoms to near zero Kelvins. Sounds a bit like a quantum physicists' retelling of stone soup.
In the 1980s I worked in advanced ceramic materials development for Corning. We were pitching insulating sleeves to be cast into cylinder heads. At a meeting with the Ford SVO engineering group, one of their engineers said "The first thing you hear about a new material is always the best thing you will hear about it. After that, the 'yeah, buts' begin." Yeah, but is it safe? Yeah, but is it affordable? Yeah, but will it conduct / dissipate heat? Yeah, but is it environmentally friendly? It takes time for systems to be redesigned around the special attributes of revolutionary materials.
Two good observations are sufficient for triangulation. CCD equipped all-sky cameras and run-of-the-mill security cameras are watching about everywhere. Without multiple images, here's a trajectory analysis based on sound (sonic booms?) at seismic stations.

"These older devices are known to be compatible:
Intel 5100/5300 (with latest drivers from Intel's site, version 13.0.0.107)
Ralink RT2870 (in many 802.11n USB dongles)
Broadcom 4310-series (in many Dell laptops)
Realtek RTL8187SE (with the drivers that came with Windows 7)

These older devices are known to be incompatible:
Intel 3945/4965,2200BG (most Intel cards, unfortunately)

Careful ... what shape is that lollipop?
"Wallace and his company Smartbot.net" Sort of like naming your firm "Ruthless Swindlers, Inc."

Prepare to be assimilated. Trust the collective.

Gilda Radner: "What is all this fuss about Cedar Rapids reaching zero Kevins?"
Chevy Chase: "Emily that unit of temperature is Kelvin, not Kevin."
Gilda: "Oh. Never mind, b****.
I suppose one of the lost Kevins was the physics teacher at Cedar Falls High?

Perhaps this would offset a person's financial and custody incentives to make false claims of domestic abuse.

Sad economic truth: Free articles aren't free. 12 pages = 12 advert refreshes.
Step 1. Type desired text in word processing app.
Step 2. Change case to Title Case.
Step 3. Replace {space} with {space}i.
There, I streamlined a process that shouldn't exist.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
