A former coworker once vandalized the list of fatal bear attacks (he added a friend of his to the list). Wikipedia has since been corrected, but not before the name Nick Ruberto (who is alive and well) appeared on several other lists of bear attacks (on some lists he appears as Nick Roberto, but all other details are the same.):

According to my ex-coworker, he received a one-year edit ban once discovered, which was increased to a lifetime edit ban when he appealed.
ATLAS does not record all events it detects. I'd guess that the total number of P-P collisions were in the hundreds of trillions, of which a few billion met the criteria to even be recorded by ATLAS, of which 34 produced the W-boson scattering.
I am not a particle physicist, so I cannot comment as to how many vacuum polarisation events a single photon would undergo during the 168000-year trip, nor how much this would actually affect the average transit time. And I agree that this claim seems off -- especially since a photon takes ~4000 years, give or take an order of magnitude, to leave the center of our sun, which has a lower density than what is present in a core-collapse supernova.
OTOH, this is an interesting idea, and it may have greater implications in cosmology.
Neither. Because neither is wrong. And the article is trying to sensationalize a claim the scientists didn't make.
It is the average speed of the light over very large distances that needs a correction, to account for the portions of travel where the light, well, is not light. The photons still move at 2.99x10^8m/s. It's the electrons and positrons that move slower.
Pu-240 is only a serious concern in the gun-barrel design. Pretty much everything since Little Boy (and everything before, actually) was/is of an implosion design.
So I, sitting with.0000004% ownership of Company XYZ through Mutual Fund ABC via my employer's 401k plan, am now partially liable for Company XYZ fuck-ups?
Um, no.
We should, if enzyme temperature range is a legitimate reason for the change.
We should also expect to see less of an effect in monotreme mammals (the platypus and echidna genera). They don't exhibit as much thermal stability as plancentals and marsupials, so they should need a wider range of enzymes. But 3 living genera makes a poor sample size, and the fossil record for monotremes is very poor.
Many (perhaps even most) hackers don't follow or do sports at all and are determinedly anti-physical. Among those who do, interest in spectator sports is low to non-existent; sports are something one does, not something one watches on TV.
The volt is not a hybrid.
The IC engine is decoupled from the drivetrain. You can put any power plant you want in, be it diesel, gasoline, LPG, Hydrogen fuel cell, gas turbine, solar cell, wind-up spring, water tank, hamster wheel... You just need something to spin the generator.
1. Agree. I stopped watching when they moved it Fridays
4. OTOH, This Sarah Connor was not nearly as kick-ass as Linda Hamilton was in T2.
5. Agree. She should have done more of the soundtrack, too.
Won't happen. They continue their merry little orbit the same as any other mass.
Pop quiz:
If the sun were replaced with a black hole of equal mass
A.) Earth would get thrown from the solar system
B.) The orbit of all the planets would remain unchanged
C.) Jupiter would become the new sun.
D.) All the planets woulld be sucked into the black hole
MOND has been debunked. Recent observations from a galactic collision show the dark matter halo trailing the normal matter. We know the dark matter halo is trailing based on the gravitational lensing of a distant galaxy. While I had nothing against MOND, the confirmation of dark matter halos pretty much kills it.
When I lived in Maryland, we had those voting machines also. They also have a paper tape (or individual ballot stack) that goes with them. Pulling the final lever (that registers your vote) punches the paper as a second copy of the vote. The blades on the punch *should* be resharpened every election to prevent hanging/dimpled chads in the paper and whatnot, but they almost never are. This can lead to serious problems, like discrepancies between the machine tally and the paper tally.
Now I'm living in Minnesota, and we use paper ballots, as in fill in the circle by the candidate. Idiots still manage to screw that up. I saw some challenged ballots from the Senate election, and it looked like some people let their 3-year-old vote for them.

Dan Inouye and Bob Dole was another good example of close friends on opposite sides of the aisle.

All incandescent bulbs are filled with argon or some other inert gas. Halogens have bromine or iodine added in.

They also own OSF/1. I mean Digital Unix. Er.. make that Tru64.

Um, no.
This is in addition to the short-distance Li battery. The Al battery is the long haul battery.
Because there is never any Al in current motor cars.
(Granted, not 100 kg, but far more than enough to make for a pretty light show if you ignite it.)
There are a good number of launches in California. Pretty much anything going into a polar orbit is launched from Vandenberg AFB.
I tend to find about a 25% first-week mortality rate, but after that they tend to last about as long as incandescent bulbs, no more no less.

Mercury's eccentricity can be pumped to values large enough to allow collision with Venus within 5 Gyr
Except that in 5 Gy Sol will be a red giant and have already engulfed Mercury and Venus, and probably Earth as well.

Stop giving them ideas.

Unless she's a Bene Gesserit abomination...

The answer is B.

Or the black hole loses an equal amount of momentum imparted to cosmic ray. Gravity Assist
Guess rodents don't like the smell of wet dog either.
I don't think its the "wet" part that keeps the rodents away.
I might try this. I've got plenty of husky crosses and a squirrel problem.
