Grew up in North Carolina, had these all the time from a local place. I’ve always wondered why I could never find wedges quite like that again...

All this! I love my Mystery Heroes, but alas I cannot seem to convince my friends of its joy!

About time! Its been ~45 years since we’ve sent a human beyond low earth orbit, let alone ‘round the moon!

Obama graduated from Harvard Law School, became a civil rights attorney, taught constitutional law at University of Chicago, and served as an Illinois Senator for six years before he became President. That’s quite a bit of education and experience, I’d say.

I-35, north of Dallas, about four years back. I’d never seen anyone rage quite like that before, and haven’t since.

When an electron crosses the event horizon, the electric field still exists outside of the black hole, and it can’t just fall in with the electron because an electric field extends to infinity. Nor can it disappear, so the field lines just point to the black hole as if it were a single giant particle. More…

Black holes can have charge, if they are fed matter with net charge, because conservation laws apply even to black holes - thus if you feed a black hole a bunch of electrons (but no protons or positrons), the quanta of electric charge is conserved and each electron consumed will result in the black hole increasing in…

If one posts negatively, and another responds in kind, both are at a loss and neither the wiser. Knowledge is to be shared, not lorded over others as a status symbol.

Then by all means, I misinterpreted what you were trying to say!

I do not dispute the veracity of your described reaction, just whether it is necessarily the [full] reaction in question. Let us examine it in greater detail.

Close, I think - but not quite. It captures CO_2, not CO, turning it into syngas. The reaction may actually be something like:

You lack formal knowledge or understanding of complexity or information theory. Very simple rules can very easily result in very complex behaviors. See Lindenmayer systems, cellular automata and Conway’s Game of Life (which is a universal turing machine), chaos theory, and many others that you may find on your own by…

Also it should be relatively easy to test. Place ant inside hollowed-out arrowhead, and fire arrow, presumably into a body of water to slow the arrow without fouling up our data. Then, you can check if the ant is now soup, or if instead it perhaps survived and now is busy looking for ant friends to wave their antennae…

And yet, you don’t see the species lasting longer than a few tens of thousands of years.

I am working on a piece of trans-/post-humanist speculative hard-science literature focusing on the effect of various emerging technologies (metamaterials, biotech, data tech) and what the implications are on integrating them into our cultures and our selves and bodies. It is an exploration on several levels, of how…

Better Off Ted

I’d imagine it’d be difficult, but The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester absolutely *must* be made into a film some day.

For once, the Apple is less expensive! But seriously, giant neodymium magnets that size can run a couple hundred bucks apiece, easy. I seem to recall something about standard companies refusing to ship via normal cargo them because their magnetic field causes serious problems.
