"Cwm" is merely a borrowing from Welsh which has nothing to do with any general rule of English spelling.
True, but it can be hard to explain diphthongs to people, and there is only so much room in a signature. The w in cwm is a vowel, and cwm is an English word (even though it came from Welsh), so technically it is an example. It's just not a usual one.
Sure, in 1987 it looked like he might have been wrong, but in, say, 2001? I don't think so. The science of crystallography had already changed to accommodate quasicrystals.
I couldn't see the main article because it requires subscription but how much extra capacity does this actually translate into?
That's a good question that I've never found an answer to. It depends, of course, on how much of the battery is the anode.
It's important to remember all the silicon anode results we've heard about in the past. Some of these are moving forward without this, so the gain will be even less that you would at first think. However, I think this could have better longevity - the battery would last more cycles.
Greenhouse gases raise Earth's temperature from from 260 K to 288 K. If CO2 is responsible for 10% of that, it's responsible for a 2.8 K temperature change.
It is actually responsible for most of the warming.
If we assume the temperature change is linear with the amount of CO2 a doubling of the CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere will result in a 2.8 K temperature increase.
It's actually logarithmic near current levels, although at much lower levels it varies.
Your errors roughly cancel out, but that doesn't show anything useful.
Except that the water vapor in the atmosphere is largely there because the carbon dioxide has made it warm enough. Remove the carbon dioxide and we all freeze (among other problems).
The big problem is the 0.5% efficiency quoted by Wikipedia. Not only does this waste a lot of nice desert land, but it make the economics difficult. I'd rather see 20% efficient concentrated solar with molten salt storage. Less land and, I'll bet, cheaper in the long run.
Written by Boyce and Hart, as were many of their early hits. This is true of most artists, but the Monkees did write a few nice songs, like Randy Scouse Git and Goin' Down.
Not really. Sulphur dioxide only has a really important effect on the wavelengths you want to keep out if you want to deal with global warming - it's particulates that shade everything.
Wait, what? Sulfur dioxide works by forming particulates. White particulates.
We don't know exactly how much the Sun will cool during a minumum, but from data about the past we know it isn't much. If we do get a grand minimum (I'd still bet against) in solar output we stand to learn details, but we know carbon dioxide is going to warm us more than any plausible cooling.
Chernobyl also had a fraction as much nuclear material on-hand, and had no plutonium-burning reactors.
All uranium reactors produce, and burn, plutonium. Chernobyl released plutonium. The MOX fuel at one of the Fukushima reactors might have had more plutonium, but so far as I know the amount released has so far been small.
If you bring a lot of mass out of Earth's gravity well, the counterweight won't stay put. It oscillates with the amplitude of the oscillations building up as more mass is brought to space. Eventually, it'll have enough energy (assuming the cable doesn't break first), for the counterweight to move closer to the Earth than the geostationary radius with collapse of the system following.
There is a limit on how much you can move up an elevator without it coming down, but if you stay below that limit you never need any propulsion. When the counterweight is pulled off vertical it pulls momentum from the Earth to try and straighten out. The Wikipedia article covers this.
They're more efficient than chemical rockets since one can use more efficient propulsion (such as electric propulsion) to keep the counterweight in orbit.
The counter weight will stay there without any propulsion because centrifugal force will keep it there. (We live in a rotating frame of reference, so of course there is centrifugal force.)
How you are going to power the elevator car is an interesting problem. I don't think HVDC will work very well for 14,000 miles, though I might be wrong. Maybe they could be nuclear powered, or we could try beaming power to them. I'm not sure any of these is satisfactory.
I was surprised to see it listed as one of the worst TV series of all time. It took me a while to realize that people were objecting to Jews making fun of Germans, like that was devaluing the holocaust or something. Odd.

Only by a trivial amount. On a global basis it would be unnoticeable.
I finally settled on Audacious. It still has lots of features I never use, but the interface is simple.

I thought everyone knew that 2012 was just a big joke. The idea that anyone would take it seriously never occurred to me.

Quasicrystals, now there's a blast from the past. Why didn't he win this about ten years ago, I wonder?

Nonsense. Models predict no discernible change over the last ten years. Besides, I think our Anonymous Cowards run quite enough.

is 1 < 0?
Not that bad, but it took me awhile to figure out what the 12:59 was about. It feels like a puzzle.

Yours is six, his is seven. I'm not sure what you are claiming by calling his six digits.

Well, yes, but remember radon is a uranium daughter product, for some isotopes at least.
Right, it's in Oxford.
Mine? Or anyone who enjoyed his work.
Before.
No, wait, after.
Wait...how does that affect energy payback?
