That's not quite right. The forces between the Moon and Earth aren't balanced, so the Moon continually falls toward the Earth. It's not a matter of canceling the force which causes no energy to be released. It's just that the direction of the force is perpendicular to the direction of movement.
Just like a gas exerts pressure on the walls of a vessel from real particles bouncing off the walls, a perfect vacuum also exerts some pressure on walls due to virtual particles bouncing off the walls. Usually you don't notice this pressure since it's balanced by an equal pressure on the other side of the wall, so you could just label this as zero pressure. But if you put the walls close enough together, there's not enough room for large wavelength virtual particles to be between the walls, so the inner pressure is less than the outer, and you get attraction.
I don't have a good explanation of what virtual particles are, but usually people say they are particles without enough energy to exist permanently, but they can exist for a short time due to Heisenburg energy uncertainty. That sounds like mumbo-jumbo to me. A particle needs positive kinetic energy to be a propagating wave, it could still exist as a decaying wave with less than positive kinetic energy. So you could have zero energy particles in vacuum which aren't propagating, but exist as an exponentially decaying wave (for a massive particle).
That's because you've never heard of any of the people who
- have natural talent
- develop that talent through hard work and education
- are tirelessly ambitious
- and incredibly hard working
who don't also have good luck.
True, no voting system is perfect. But there are some that are less bad than others. Range voting is quite a good one, and is better than first-past-the-post in nearly all instances.
It's easy to rationalize the electoral college system, but it's still less democratic than a simple popular vote. I've heard all the arguments and I still think it's stupid.
The article focuses on Arrighetti, but it's not clear what his role is. He just programmed the system. It's not like he's collecting on the traffic tickets. Or is he? It sounds like the real criminals are the ones who hired him.
Pick any number of random obscure or technical topics, and compare what you get in Wikipedia and Britannica. The results are so lopsided, it's not even funny.
You've betrayed your ignorance. The Constitution gives Congress the power to coin money. It doesn't prevent various other groups from coining money (so long as it isn't a counterfeit of the Federal Reserve Note). Of course, only the Federal Reserve Note is backed by the government. F.R.N. are legal tender which means that they are a legitimate way to pay pay debts.
Liberty Dollars or Bevo Bucks or whatever else is out there only have value if there are merchants willing to accept them for products and services. If you owe me money, I don't have to accept your Liberty Dollars as payment.
Clearly you don't know what you are talking about. It isn't actually quite simple for intersex people because they might have both a penis and vagina or neither, or have other sex-linked characteristics like breasts or facial hair which don't corroborate with the norm.

Indiana had a bill to set the value of pi to 3.2, among other values.
Force equals time rate of change in momentum. The momentum of the moon is oscillating. Hence, force is non-zero.
It's not exciting to anyone who knows any physics. A paddlewheel takes energy from moving water (or similar). It doesn't produce energy from nothing.

It's like breaking into your own house to see if it can be done. You are an idiot if you even care about the legality of it.
In another /. story, the Internet Explorer team fixes critical vulnerabilities in IE. And it gets tagged, defectivebydesign.

So, what do you do if some child rapist shares your name?
bad idea. You can't legislate honesty.
Yeah, but how long until the European Union grows into a massive overarching super-federal government?

What's the word for the opposite of secession? I don't mean annexation--I mean where we kick a state out of the union.
Many languages do not distinguish between masculine and feminine pronouns. In Chinese (many dialects), the word for she and he are spoken the same.
Multiplication is just serial addition
Ok, smarty. What's 1.4 * 3.2?
What elements do you need to protect yourself from? There's no weather on the moon. The bricks probably won't help much against cosmic radiation.

wooooosh
If you are faculty or a grad student doing research work, generally it's the other way around. The university pays you.

I don't read, I just look at the pictures.
I would classify alcohol as one of the most dangerous, and nicotine perhaps as one of the most addictive, but probably not both together
