If you move though space faster, you necessarily move through time more slowly.
Sort of... but what about the twin paradox? The travelling twin ages less. Couldn't you argue that actually they have moved through time faster? They find themselves in the year 2525 while their twin, who stayed at home, has only got as far as 2015 while experiencing the same amount of local time.
I thought sqrt(x^2+y^2+z^2 -t^2) (not +t^2) was the constant... but it all gets very tricky when you try to consider the amount of time travelling through time takes.
If it is the brain stealing calories that slows development, how come when you feed a child a high-calorie diet he becomes a fat child rather than a young adult?
Probably because "stealing calories" is just an over-simplified journalistic bit of fluff.
To play Devil's advocate for a moment, none of those came along with (as I assume the video in question does) an expression of the ideology behind the act, nor were they posed for the sole purpose of being recorded and distributed.
The act of seeing an indecent image of a child is an absolute offence
Citation needed. The offence is "possession," not "viewing."
and will lead to an automatic sentence.
Well, yes, that's what happens when you're found guilty of an offence. There's nothing automatic about it, though. We have these funny little things called trials, first.
There are many instances in British law of absolute offences for which there is no defence.
That sounds a bit tautological. If you committed the offence, you would, ideally, be found guilty. If successfully defend against the accusation, then from a legal standpoint you did not commit the offence in the first place.

Nuclei, atoms, molecules all vibrate (if not more) all the time.
What about individual particles, like lone protons or neutrons? Or photons?
Back in 2009, researchers theorized that space could be a hologram.
The idea is older than that. From the very link, they "bolster[ed] the proposition" - they didn't come up with the idea.
You are absolutely right.
And energise the main deflector while you're at it.

And that this may have already happened.
Same reason I'm not allowed in the reptile house at London Zoo any more.
If ever.
But what about this "the" word at the beginning? That doesn't get a word of explanation.
Enough. No, I do not want "Cloud" services, thanks.
So don't use them. Last I checked, no-one was being forced to do so.
That raises a famous question.
No it bloody doesn't, it raises a...
Oh, wait. Carry on.
New Windows Coming In Late September -- But Which One?
September 2014, of course.
I came here for abuse.

Just because there is a correlation it DOES NOT mean that there is causation!
Just because someone implies a causation doesn't mean they've automatically made the mistake you're raving about.
Did you, perhaps, try reading the paper to understand why this claim is being made?
Girls, girls. You're both idiots.
Saw a cute little tux when it rebooted and I smiled a bit.
Did she have to bend over to unplug it?
So what you're saying is, it's time for us to beat each other's heads in with rocks and feast on the goo inside?
presently busy planning to reduce the speed of the spacecraft through the process of firing the LAM engine
I'd hope they'd have got all of the planning done before launch, and would instead be getting busy implementing.
Why sorry? No-one's said there's causation between the two in either direction.
We need to have no laws at all
Good luck enforcing that!

Anyone got a working mirror?
Not me. Mine keeps showing me a 40-year-old Chinese woman when I look in it.
