If the space elevator "fell", it would be like newspaper falling from orbit. Or so the counter argument goes. So, I'm not to worried about wrapping around the earth a few times. It would likely burn before that.
Air containing burnt carbon-nanotubes debris? Now that is much more of a concern.
GP knows this. What they are talking about is the point of view from a point on the wall. If you were on the wall where the shadow began, you would see the shadow receding faster than light along the wall.
Your post should be modded up. The prevailing rhetoric among the right wing hate mongers such as Limbaugh that due process only applies to citizens is sickening, and your post makes me slightly less irritated in knowing that some out there know better.
I agree with you, I'm aware of chaos theory and it's implications, and of the three body problem, but I was under the impression that planetary movements can be approximated to an acceptable degree of accuracy, iteratively speaking.
P.S. Heard that this new Battlestar Galactica show was really good, but something about fuzzy robots, people wearing tight clothing and helmet-like hairstyles...
Well, you're in luck: The new BG doesn't have any of that.
Scenario 1) Someone steals a record from a record store. Result: Artist doesn't get the royalty.
Scenario 2) Someone downloads a new record, instead of buying it. Result: Artist doesn't get the royalty.
In scenario 1, there was a material loss in that the store lost 1 record which results in them not being able to sell it (to the person who stole it or anyone else). No such loss of material occurs in scenario 2.

I ain't afraid of no reduction.
I think the point was to intentionally get it wrong. It's mildly humorous.
...when it's revealed they use non-union drivers at the factory.
Hell yes. Now all we need are the inverted aerial tracks and insane turns.
My money's on Pico.

A layperson reading a summary of the journal's article in the mass media doesn't pay much attention to these qualifiers.
Good for him. Do you want to give him a fucking medal?
So, wishing death upon 7 astronaughts is a "good" thing? Who's the one spinning here?
... then you are a pompous asshole who deserves a sound beating.

Guess I was mistaken.
No kidding.
Hence the qualifier, "highly accurate". It don't need to be perfect, yo.
Nice.
*Whoosh*
It's not a fault... it's a feature!
It's not a "vicious circle", it's a "virtuous ring of truth".
Seriously, expect that kind of spin.
I think grandparent post really did mean Perfect Dark.
Well, you combine it with oxygen to form water, and then ship it through a pipeline.... oh, nevermind...
Was it pushed to protect us from the terrible secret of space?
Also, he was nothing like the red shirts in Star Trek that you don't even know the name of or any character at all..
Of course we knew their names. Most of the time it was Ensign Smith.
Yeah, I got that confused with my pants getting tight...
