    you will note the it takes far more the 7 hours to fully charge , not 3.5 hours. So, not not 4 times as long.

  9. nope on Studies Suggest Massive Increase In Scientific Fraud · · Score: 4, Interesting

    retractions is a bad measurement.

    More and more data is open and available, so when 1 person committed fraud, it impacts many papers that come after it. The paper aren't committing fraud, there the victim of the first guy.

    So I could commit frauds, and after 10 year it could impact 100 papers.
    So retraction is a very poor way to determine this.

    I would think the fact that the effect is not from a central point, but form many point is space substantially hinder the MOND theory, as well as the lensing issue.

    " Personally the idea of an invisible, intangible, ethereal magical material"

    Like gravity? or solar wind?

    Did you read the letter you linked to? You dio realize that he admits his proposal doesn't explain some effects we see? right?

    There is an effect. We can make predictions about the effect.

    SO something is happening. Proposed changes to the gravitation theory to explain the phenomena haven't played out.

    Could it be some weird aspect of large scale gravity? lensing?

    Sure, but the data for those ideas hasn't played out. New data will tighten up are understanding. That's how science works

    SO, calling it populist is ignorant in the extreme.

  14. Re:Of course it exists on Survey Finds No Hint of Dark Matter Near Solar System · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No.
    There is an effect. This is known, Dark Matter is the name for that effect until it is solved.
    The name is a place holder, not the effect. We measure and predict the effect. Something is impacting large bodies. We don't know what.

    It's like hears a loud banging on your wall, You know something is there, you just don't know what until you figure out a way to look.

    Different architectures, different engineering, different QA, control of the hardware.

    Macs are more secure. That doesn't make the impenetrable. What it does do is give experts in the fields and excuse to hit it hard. It took a long time to get something.

    No I don't own a Mac, but you can't just compare them as the same based on simply market share.

    It's not premature. It's an article about some information at IBM. People talking about this like it's rolling out are the ones that are wrong.
