Why does the existence of neutrino oscillations mean that neutrinos must have mass? IANAPP, so I don't know how being a massive particle makes it able to oscillate between other kinds of neutrinos.
Don't forget that once you launch your spacecraft, you are still orbiting around the sun just like the earth was. For example, if the entire earth were to disappear today except for yourself, you would keep orbiting around the sun in exactly the same location as the earth would have.
They should make a circuit board that handles interactions between exchangeable parts... and everything should be defined by software, hardware, and form factor standards... it would be great. We could even call them "motherboards" or something... we'll have to see.;)
... a device cooled to a temperature about 100 times colder than intergalactic space, following the application of the most powerful continuous magnetic field on Earth."
Hmmm... this is definitely going to extend Moore's Law in home computing... sure.;)
In 10^1500 years, cold fusion occurring via quantum tunnelling should make the light nuclei in ordinary matter fuse into iron-56 nuclei (see isotopes of iron.) Fission and alpha-particle emission should make heavy nuclei also decay to iron, leaving stellar-mass objects as cold spheres of iron.
Sigh. I wish aliens existed in our solar system... we would live in a much more interesting world if that were the case. Oh well, I guess I just have to keep hoping. I'm sure I'm not alone in this thought.
The probe is not going to the edge of the solar system.
Yup, that's what disappointed me. I was hoping this'd be a new mission to out-race the Voyager probes in a few decades when it gets to the outskirts, but it's actually only going into a 200,000-mile altitude orbit above the Earth. Oh well.
Out of all of my dreams, I can only remember a color memory from ONE that I had years ago, where I was in a bunch of picturesque green mountains. Otherwise, my dreams and the memories of those dreams have no concept of color or grayscale in them at all. Sometimes places are dark or poorly lit, or sometimes it's night, but I simply can't remember the color of anything else from any of my dreams.
There are some (weasel words: see Talk Page) who call themselves "christians" by some twist of their mind, and bomb abortion clinics and doctors who perform them. But this argument is pointless, because everybody will keep thinking whatever their opinion was before, whether enlightened or not.
It's not "just as slick as they originally intended". Buildings and vehicles were supposed to be suggested to you following your own style that you'd been developing up to that point. Creatures were supposed to be chosen from the vast Sporopedia automatically to fill your world. Unfortunately, the way it is now, everything is opt-in, and you have to manually search for creature packs and add them one by one just to increment your "ecosystem creature pool" by a couple dozen. Large creature packs are far and few between.
The game will pull in content automatically from other players
but unless you've accidentally changed some setting somewhere to completely ban it from ever downloading anything, the only time that scenario actually crops up is right after you install the game, before it's had a chance to build up a large repository of player-made creatures to pick from.
No, everything is opt-in. You have to subscribe to special "creature channels" to add more creatures to your game than come on the install disk.

Congratulations, you just gave everyone in the world $10. It will go farther for some than others.
If you do that, then you win the Nobel prize for building a perpetual motion machine.

You'd have to shoot somebody at a REALLY fast speed to shoot them into the sun. De-orbiting into the sun is far more realistic.
Mark this article "correlation IS causation" -- simply because it's so ludicrous. ;)

That's what she said. :)

So now we use digits for numbers less than ten in sentences? I hate grammar stasi.
No, he's talking about how all heavy particles will eventually decay down to iron, which doesn't decay further on its own without energy input.
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
While I don't disagree with your over-arcing point, would you really say that if Bill Gates buys a personal copy of Windows that he's paying himself?

Harvest the lower horn!

There were 850 comments posted, all negative, on the first day.
Wow. I'd hate to be the junior editor assigned to counting up all 850 comments to make sure such a statement could be made.
;)
I'm just being silly.

since some of them take offense violently
Probably some of anyone will take offense violently when you are dealing with a diverse group of billions or hundreds of millions of members.
There are some (weasel words: see Talk Page) who call themselves "christians" by some twist of their mind, and bomb abortion clinics and doctors who perform them. But this argument is pointless, because everybody will keep thinking whatever their opinion was before, whether enlightened or not.
What I want to know, is how did the universe expand beyond its own swartzchild radius?
How do you know it did expand beyond its schwartzchild radius?

Sorry, that was a little zen.
There is no mod.
