I don't understand the references to hand-swelling and blood-boiling? At most the difference in pressure throughout the fall will be 1 atmosphere. In scuba diving that really isn't much at all (33 feet down). The world record for freediving (no tanks, i.e. quick up and down) is almost 900 feet.
Well it was not the vacuum that caused the damage, it was the pressure difference, the one atmosphere inside the suit would be trying to force his body out through the whole near the glove.
ESP is already proven to those using it on a daily basis. Physicists shouldn't ever ignore aspects of reality, b/c what they aim to do is to describe reality. They haven't done imaging of electromagnetic fields around brains yet (which are the antennae for our consciousnesses which are located outside our bodies beyond time and space). The brain is a sequencer unit for the sole purpose of serializing perception. There's also a relationship between subatomic particles and their respective consciousness-lets, there's a transitional state between consciousness and matter called not-yet-matter. An Electromagnetic Unit is smaller than the smallest subatomic particle. It will all be proven with scientific studies one day when instruments have become even better. Physicists should use mathematics properly. Math is not a toy, it's a tool.
Going solely by your username, I can understand why you would not want to do anything yourself, that a robot could do. However, not all of us are couchslugs. Some of us would go just to say we did it, no other reason. Or because its cool. Hell, I read in an article a while back, that some scientist proposed that a mission to Mars was possible today, if you made it a one way trip only. Within a week, he had hundreds of emails from volunteers willing to go and never come back. Granted, the expense is huge, but if someone with deep pockets is willing to foot the bill, why not? As long as I had some guarantee of supplies for a reasonable amount of time, I'd be camped out in line myself. And I don't wanna hear the tired old "Lets solve all the problems on Earth first" argument. We will NEVER solve all the problems on Earth as long as the human race exists. That argument is a cop out. Its not possible to solve all the problems, because new problems always crop up. Humans ARE the problem. We will never all just get along, we will never have a perfect utopian society, those with more will always withhold from those with less, and a moneyless, Star Trek like society will never work simply because no one will work for free. Or at least a vast majority wouldn't. Posting AC simply because I'm a lurker, and have never bothered to make an account.
Yeah sure it works, it just results in a very noisy signal.
Point is, if you put a person through hell they'll say anything to make it stop, some times the truth and sometimes not. You cannot expect guy who's just been or maybe is being waterboarded to think very far ahead.
If I got to be pragmatic about it, it's because torture generally doesn't produce good results. Torture someone for long enough and they'll admit to anything.
Google has major connections with In-Q-Tel, the CIA's corporate investment arm.
Don't get why you're somehow trying to pass off this fact as a negative, the OTS - CIA's technical division, known by a number of other initialisms in the past, and their Sciences and technology division have been a driving force in the field of electronics and communications for a long, long time.
Although recently in this age of information the driving force lately has been the NSA.
North Korea recently said they would give up their nuclear program in exchange for a substantial aid package: Story
Now question is whether they are actually giving up the stuff, but they sure said they wish.
This is the new face of nuclear politics, we don't do the whole MAD thing any more, now regimes under international pressure can start a nuclear program and then later use it as a bargaining chip, as in, promise to give up their nuclear ambitions in exchange for something else - in DPRK's case: food.
*is it only Russia that have atomic devices or do other former SSRs still have relic weapons? Would Russia have recently knackered Georgia if they had them still?
After the break-up for the Soviet Union all nuclear weapons stationed in the republics were moved to Russia. There is some debate whether all of them made it back.
China, India, Pakistan and a few other declared nuclear powers rely instead on credible deterrence, that is to say they have enough nuclear weapons on hand that then can inflict "unacceptable losses" in the event they are hit with nuclear weapons themselves.
MAD is a relic of the cold war when only two superpowers (I chose to see UK and USA as one superpower) had nuclear weapons, now with shifting alliances and proliferation through the roof the picture is a lot more nuanced, like what would happen if DPRK nuked Iran or vice versa? Chances are it would stay contained, the large superpowers are so timid when it comes to nuclear weapons that unless they are struck first the chances that they will actually launch are so low as to be non-existent.
Hmm, I was going to post a jocular response, but then remembered that these are real people with parents and siblings committing suicide that we're joking about.
If we had just lowered all taxes to zero and cut all job-killing regulations, we would have colonized the solar system 50 years ago instead of just putting a man in space.
If we had just lowered all taxes to zero and cut all job-killing regulations, we would have pwned particle physics so hard it would be taught to 4th graders today in private religious schools the way God intended.
If we had just lowered all taxes to zero and cut all job-killing regulations, you would be able to buy a spacecraft at your local Ford dealership in any of 40 different models, 5 different trim levels, and hundreds of different colors.
If we had just lowered all taxes to zero and cut all job-killing regulations, no one would care about Mach 3.35 except the hippies that own Prii today. Everyone else would be getting on with their lives commuting between the Earth and Mars in their Ford spacecraft at a quarter of the speed of light.
PS... NASA still has operating SR-71's, so we technically still have a plane capable of traveling at Mach 3.35. And, God only knows what the slow, Government-teat-sucking, mouth-breathing engineers have been able to cook up in the past 50 years. Maybe they have us up to Mach 4 now.

What sickness do i have to get that can be cured by MDMA...?
Parkinson's apparently.

That. Would. Be. AWESOME.

Yes, we think Ahmadinejad and the ayatollahs are that stupid. Plainly.
Next question.
The guys run a country, even if it is run in a way you disagree with, and that makes them smarter than you already.
MAD has no been a thing for a long, long time.

Nope.
Dude, Sean, chill. You thought way to hard about that.
And then suddenly everyone has cancer, yay.

Most of the world's currency is imaginary, so...there's that.
Do they build a single user profile by colletcting data through various services that are connected to this?
Nope
I would really like to know how you know they don't do that. Because they say they don't?
It happened somewhere around the 29th of Febuary though, which isn't quite as catchy.
Words do this thing where they change meaning through regular use.
It's interesting, if you're a language nerd, you're obviously not one.
