but rocky planets with metalic cores of the proper size in habitable zone are plentiful, we looked for that and we found it to be so
the whole visible universe is the same shit repeated over and over, stars of certain types surrounded by known elements of certain types, rocky planets and gas giants.
there is no compelling reason whatsoever to come here
no it could not, we have no means to make a ship go half the speed of light, nevermind that an encounter with the smallest grain of sand would be catastrophic. Instead, with any known working technology we could build, a certain type of nuclear reactor, we could manage a craft with 3.5 percent C velocity at most, using over two hundred of thousand tons of fissionable fuel. It would take on the order of 130 years to reach Proxima or Alpha (better destination choice) Centauri
eh, the first seven items you list have no physical evidence whatsoever for their existence. As for aliens, we have at least a possibility of intelligent life arising on rocky planet in certain zone about a star, proved by a known successful instance. While it is also provable that the most likely form of life, the norm, is single celled, again at least we have proof multi-cellular life can arise and moreover so can technological beings.
actually, yes that's what the most reliable equations we have for motion and kinetic energy say. To go faster than light is to be able to send objects and information into the past, and moreover create certain reference frames for which cause and effect are switched and creating paradoxes of something existing and not existing at the same time. in other words, impossible.
we're not talking about simple matrix multiplication though. The boost math toolkit doesn't prove anything by its mere existence, that's not how the big boys do numeric methods.
so the Chinese start high speed rail companies in the USA, what's the problem? we're far too lazy and stupid to be hooking up the big cities in our country this way, should have done it in the 90s
Admit what, you just went from 4kt to 0.9 kt and are still incorrect in your math. Nothing can "fall from the moon", anything launched on ballistic trajectory from there will *lose* energy because of force of moon until object reaches pount (about 310,000km from earth) where earth's gravity will begin to accelerate it (and NOT at 9.8m/s^2 but nearly zero) Let me clue you in, your 1 ton object will strike with about a tenth of a kiloton of force, a one kt explosion will require a 10 ton object. see? it's a pointless expenditure of energy.
you left out the massive gigabytes of well-tested and respected numeric libraries for all the major fields of science and engineering (that are free for use too).....oh, and much of that written in F77. the most optimizable langague for numeric computation on planet earth, that's why supercomputer companies always sell ForTran compilers
no, used because Fortran is the high level language that produces the fastest code for numeric computation, it is by far the most optimizable. Yes, it blows away C.
sorry, Heinlein screwed up the math, those kinetic weapons of some tons don't have nuclear-weapon type yield. such weapons would mostly annoy us and piss us off
News for you, it is the same elements in well-known proportions which can be quoted accurately for any time given in the last 13 billion years. There is very hard proof, our samples are from all the visible universe. We thus also know the physical constants at any time in those 13 billion years, again very hard proof
single celled life existed until 1 billion years ago (which I believe is the only thing to be found on almost all habitable planets unless extremely rare freak accident occurs, that length of time is the proof), and no land plants until less than 500 million years ago. nothing of interest here for most of the time
Slashdot Mirror
no, I mean those who run very large models - lattice guage theory, quantum chemistry of proteins, astrophysical fluid dynamics
you said we have tiny sample here, and also the word extrapolate.
no, we have huge samples we have measured, huge in spacial and temporal sense
I have quality high tech electronics that was made in China; you probably do too but don't realize it?
as for heavy subsidies for rail transportation, you think the US government does not?
correct, it did nothing for civil rights. something actually useful was eight years later (Civil Rights Act of 1964)
really, most of the "heros" and symbols and events given as part of civil rights did jack shit for the cause in reality.

ah, but that is human money, good for only human things.
anything else is available in ridiculous copious quantities in space: water, metals, gems, fusion fuel, fission fuel
we have nothing of value in the solar system for a space faring race

the famous c++ numeric projects have massive blocks of compiled fortran code in them
we're not talking about simple loops here, would you happen to know what solving a tensor calculus problem by numeric methods entails?
what's the problem, among the invaders will be hot asian chicks (and for you gay fellers hot asian studs)
I say bring it on
China, just like the USA, makes high quality as well as low quality items. Note they have high speed rail, we don't, because we're stupid
you're thinking small, China could make money building high speed rail system for us, since we're too ignorant and stupid to do it ourselves

you are spouting off about a field in which you do not work, against a well-known fact.
Doing the quite common operations of numeric analysis, machine output of the C compiler will be worse, less optimized, slower than that of Fortran.

haha, maybe you better look at what language huge parts of the cores of your petc and trillinos are written in. hint, starts with an F

leading to a fraction being "habitable", all filled with single celled organisms, which we know is the norm
