  10. Re:This has always confused me on Motion of the Primordial Universe Revealed · · Score: 1

    "More, there are assumptions that gravity is a strong attracting force locally (at short distance), but at the scale of the universe, it would actually be a repulsive force. Talk about mind blowing!"

    For what I know, they (I really don't remember the names) actually used a model with gravitational force that was repulsive at huge distances when they tried to build a static model of universe (ie. one which does not collapse back after a couple billion years). Eventually it had to be trashed because it didn't match our observations. The models were described a bit in Hawking's Brief History of Time.

  13. Re:Chewbacca Economic Theory on Outsourcing is Good for You · · Score: 3, Informative

    "None of this makes any sense."

    Oh yes, it does... Labour force is a very limited resource, so with outsourcing those low-grade jobs, you have more people who can concentrate on doing the more profitable (ie. higher added value) jobs. The trick is doing that right and not outsourcing _everything_.

  14. Re:Housemaid Robots on LivingCreatures- The Beginning Of 'I, Robot?' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nonsense! If the robot can perform the task more efficiently then it will eventually become cheaper. That's basic economics.

    "I could employ him/her for many years while giving him/her work."

    This is the same as saying that open source kills jobs.
