Look up 'combustion'. We use produce CO2 by burning hydrocarbons which contain these little atoms we call hydrogen. These don't magicly disappear, they end up in water molecules. So you still need to send up food, but the water will be produced by breathing....
The autopsy was watched closely by a lot of people who would have jumped at any chance to discredit it. They failed. She had no brain worth mentioning left.
But there is a big difference between understanding and seeing results. It is perfectly fine to see results without understanding them. If an accupuncturist came with a perfectly fine double blind study showing results saying 'I don't know why it works' it would be great. Instead we get them telling they know perfectly how it works (the whole special points to poke needles in stuff) but they can't show proper results showing any significant improvement beyond placebo.
There is not even one proper double blinded study that shows that the meridians those quacks talk about even exist. Let allone sticking needles in them can cure anything that can't be cured by a nice sweet placebo pill.
Show me one study that wasn't widely criticized for having basic flaws. The only effect those quacks seem to have is a complete lack of understanding how to do a proper double blinded test.
If one can't fix you up, they'll get you to the partner who can. It's not unusual for them to direct you to the herb aisle before putting pen to script pad. They're very up on alternative treatments in general; e.g. acupuncture, and now that most insurances pay for it, it saves prolonged trial & error treatments.
Which says about enough about them... They are quacks. If one quack's herbs won't help they will just refer you to the next quack's accupuncture needles. They might calll themselves 'alternative' but the correct term is 'unproven' or for most of those treatments it is just 'proven to be total bullshit'. The only reason insurances pay for it is because enough delluded people want to pay for it.
With those people there are only two possibilities: either they know that shit isn't working but folling you anyway, or dispite their years of medical training actually think it works and thus fail to have a basic understanding off simple scientific testing. I wouldn't want to be treated by either one.
Maybe it only happened once. Maybe it happened twice and the other got killed before he reproduced. It might have happened a thousend times but it didn't lead to an advantage at that time and got lost. It might have eaven caused a disadvantadge. Those chimps that were whistling tunes all the time turned out to be easy prey for the lions. It might have happened in several lines of ancestors which later merged....
Statisticly relevant is bullshit. It would be meaningfull if our evolution had a specific endpoint we had to arrive at but it doesn't. Look at the following options: 'We like art, how big is the chance of a single cell evolving to a human liking art?' 'We are purple, how big is the chance of a single cell evolving to a purple human?' 'We have four legs, how big is the chance of a single cell evolving in four legged human?'
You can come up with endless possibilities like that, all are endpoints that are incredibly unlikly to be reached by evolution. There just happens to be only one (the first) which did happen.
There is no 'law of evolution' kind of thing that says that a species will involve into something more complex or intelligent. Natural selection simply works because a certain species is capable to stay in existence. Sometimes being stupid and just breed is more efficient than being intelligent. Ants have a complex structure which allows them to spread very efficiently. Knowing how to paint for some reason wasn't needed for them to spread widely and thus such an feature would only result in extra lugage to carry around. Maybe out species at some point managed to stay alive longer by being a little bit more creative than our cousins. That might have been an factor that resulted in more offspring.
Not quite..... Biofuels release carbon dioxide that has been taken from the air by plants just a little bit earlier. So after a year the net amount of carbon dioxide released is zero.
Oil based fuels release carbon dioxide that has been taken from the air millions of years ago. That is the problem... over the last few decades we have released a huge amount of carbon dioxide that used to be deep beneath the surface.
100% shielding is impossible..... The amount of leakage allowed is more than you get from a wifi network and they use the same wavelengths so the dangers would be the same. The fact that it is designed for warming doesn't matter, there is only one kind of electro-magnetic field. There are no seperate 'cooking' and 'communication' field types.
Luckily the world isn't black and white. What happens here is not that the names are not known, you can easily get them if enquire a little. Its just enough obfuscation since most of the angry mob types are not going to take the trouble of finding out unless a name was printed on the front page and they were hit over the head with it.
You can't be 100% sure.... Likewise we can't be sure about you either.... (maybe you will never be a danger, maybe you already have and got away with it, maybe you are a potential serial killer)
There will always be a risk. You will have to be carefull when you let someone loose again, but that doesn't mean that it isn't the right thing to do at a certain point in time. (There are people who will never be 'cured' of certain urges and should never be let loose) Mistakes will be made and we should learn from them and use the experience to judge better the next time.
It is because in some countries even criminals (or in your example only accused) have rights. When they have served there sentence they should be able to go on and have a live.
This is contrary to countries were sentences are not ment to correct ones behaviour but to ease the blood thirsty angry mob.
Its not even a theory since it is not falsifiable... BTW I demand you spend equal time to the FSM, invisible pink elephants and every other devine creature some idiot might have thought of.
Not all stars become a black hole, some just go poof and die. And its perfectly possible for heavy objects to be at the edges, think about gliders flying on convection.

That shouldn't be a problem for IBM :)
Their POWER is big-endian and won't have any problems not using that number.
Emmm, check your facts.....
Look up 'combustion'.
We use produce CO2 by burning hydrocarbons which contain these little atoms we call hydrogen. These don't magicly disappear, they end up in water molecules.
So you still need to send up food, but the water will be produced by breathing....
Food + O2 => CO2 + H2O + heat.
Bullshit....

You mistake in the way you think about selection.
There is no 'law of evolution' kind of thing that says that a species will involve into something more complex or intelligent.
Natural selection simply works because a certain species is capable to stay in existence.
Sometimes being stupid and just breed is more efficient than being intelligent.

carbon dioxide is release just a much
Not quite.....
Biofuels release carbon dioxide that has been taken from the air by plants just a little bit earlier. So after a year the net amount of carbon dioxide released is zero.

That is the problem... over the last few decades we have released a huge amount of carbon dioxide that used to be deep beneath the surface.
But you can't transfer information with it faster than light.
No practical Faraday cage will be 100% shielding....The lack of fresh air would cause more brain damage than the field they are trying to keep out.
100% shielding is impossible.....
The amount of leakage allowed is more than you get from a wifi network and they use the same wavelengths so the dangers would be the same.
The fact that it is designed for warming doesn't matter, there is only one kind of electro-magnetic field. There are no seperate 'cooking' and 'communication' field types.
You seem to have a used a batch of slow light when calculating that....
wavelength = speed / frequency
approx: wavelength [meters] = 300 / frequeny [MHz]
300 MHz -> 1m
3 GHz -> 10cm
2.4 GHz -> 12.5cm
Nobody that stupid runs a university...
Don't be so sure about that... There seems to be no limit on the positions nutjobs like him can get.
They better ban microwave ovens then....

Might be, but the Danish culture has a much lower regard for symbolism in general....

Unless you plan on using bunjee jumping cords not having a geocentric orbit is going to be a problem.....
You probably mean geosynchronous. Which is pretty much a MUST unless you are going to build a moving base that moves all over the equator.
Its not even a theory since it is not falsifiable...
BTW I demand you spend equal time to the FSM, invisible pink elephants and every other devine creature some idiot might have thought of.
There must have been some heavy editing going on at wikipedia if it said that.....
Sea Launch are using russian Zenit rockets and launch from a ship. (hence the name)
SpaceX have there own rocket and launch from land (a small island or an airforce base)
They don't have much in common besides going up.
Not quite, Mono also includes a VM that interprets the .net bytecode, much like java.
Not all stars become a black hole, some just go poof and die.
