  2. Alternitive article title on Scientist Says Most Scientific Papers Are Wrong · · Score: 1

    To bad they didn't go with an alternative article title: "Scientific Paper Says Most Scientific Papers Are Wrong"

  3. Re:So will I be able to see this in the north east on Tempel 1 Impact Day After Tomorrow · · Score: 2, Informative

    Since when was Magnitude 10 easily binocular visible? Maybe if your at a really really dark site and know exactly where to look, but most people won't match these conditions. However, if it does jump up to Mag 6 as predicted, some people in rural locations might see it naked eye and it would be an easy target for binoculars.

  5. Where is Real ID? on Real-ID Passes U.S. Senate 100-0 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've looked at the text of H.R.1268, but I can't find Real ID in it, the only reference to Real ID is struck out, is this because I'm a moron or is it hiding very well?

    I see no references to Licenses that aren't struck out either, besides a reverence to fishing and hunting Licenses.

    Did Real ID disappear and is all of this mute or does struck out mean something besides what I think it does?

    Here's the full text so you can help me understand where Real ID went.

  6. Superfluid or Not a Superfluid? on Data Suggests Early Universe was Superfluid · · Score: 1

    The problem I see is, something is either a superfluid or it isn't.

    From the article, it appears that the quark-gluon plasma behaves close to a low viscosity fluid, not a superfluid.

    The difference is with a low viscosity fluid you can usually estimate it as having no viscosity and have your calculations come out close. However, a superfluid actually has no viscosity due to a quantum mechanical effect, but also has other interesting properties.

    So is it a Superfulid? I'll have to read the paper when it is published.

    Oh, the BNL source article (with links) is here.
