Of course there are many events in the Universe far more powerful than this, and good old spacetime survived them all. The article states some heavy bullshit.
True, that's why I said users could force it on programs they don't trust. Although, being mandatory for everything would eliminate all badly written programs quickly.
So the guys claim is only backed by his own research while two other studies had opposite results. I think we shoudln't jump to any conclusions just yet.
Accidents happen with every kind of power production, nuclear is one of the safest. Yes, boiling water reactors are the most dangerous, and I agree that they should be shut down, however noone is building those anymore anyway.
Can we please be done with nuclear energy? Yesterday? Solar, geothermal and wind are all coming rapidly into their own, already cost less than traditional non-renewables (especially if we take away Big Oil/Gas/Nuclear's free rides and subisdies) and it looks like about 30 years down the road give or take we could be living with a distributed power grid that takes inputs from every single solar roof/windmill/vent in the country.
You must live in an alternative universe I can't even comment on this bullshit.
If you have a plentiful source of cheap energy you should quit nuclear too. The condition is rational, whether it will be true by 2025 is another question.

Also, this this would bring back interest in science, improving funding and inspiring a generation to be scientists.
The skills of robots is still very limited compared to humans.
The Russians experimented with this, several of their astronauts stayed at MIR for similar amounts of time.
It's acually a series of experiments in 4 European countries.

I don't think it can ever be confirmed as it basically states that only black holes that are too small to exist radiate.
Not exactly. Forces are caused by virtual particles. Also, making a virtual particle "real" has already been done in colliders.
Noone is ripping anything. It's just a sensationalist article. Energy concentrations far bigger than this happen in the Universe.
This is a sensationalist article.

Therefore, anywhere a consciousness happens to exist is "finely tuned".
Now you are also stating that physical constants are different in different places.
Well it's not really about supporting life, but much more basic things like allowing matter to form, allowing stars to exist etc.
I think the value of pi is different in different regions of space.
This would be an important security feature if users could force it for any program.

Congratulations to all the developers working on it.
Text editor+command line is fine when you have only one source file. Wich is not possible with Java.

Certainly more than building those panels, you know, on Earth. Also, solar panels have terrible efficiency compared to solar plants.
If they relied on studies that were not repeated by another group then they weren't doing real science in the first place.
There are several engineers some of them are good leaders and some of them are not.

Not really, the private sector is only interested in LEO and quick profits, they are not making new discoveries.
are the ones that don't get caught. Americans only detect the lousy attempts.
A few molecules won't be enough of a sample, and this thing won't scale much further.
