I think that special relativity is fine. It's not totally obvious to me how this all breaks down but this quote from the researchers seems key:

I remember that I read a bunch of these when I was younger but I don't really recall anything about them. They were mystery stories, right? And what was Catholic about them?

When dealing with passive aggressive people, stand stock still and make no noise. They have bad vision but can sense movement.

Warbot is one of the best and saddest things ever.

Turing Test 2.0?

Interesting question: why five digits per extremity?

In the late 80s, I attended a super-tiny Catholic elementary school run entirely by nuns. My friends and I would sometimes play RPGs (or just look at the books) at school when we had indoor recess. The nuns got wind of this and once confiscated some books of mine, citing all the Satanic influences they had heard could…

A base-N system has N distinct symbols which represent the numbers 0,1,...(N-1). Numbers greater than or equal to N are represented by strings of those basic symbols with a given symbols…

Mathematics is not usually considered a technology but I think it fits the bill. In particular, I will nominate the base-10 Arabic number system. It provides a very nice structure which facilitates calculation greatly. Just imagine balancing your checkbook using Roman numerals!

I forgot that for like two full seasons, and got confused when someone was calling her Dinah instead of Laurel.

She's getting better. I'm looking forward to her fully taking up her sister's mantle. But all that said, yeah, Sarah > Laurel.

Another one: In one form or another, light is responsible for nearly all physical interactions on Earth (the major exceptions being gravity and anything nuclear).

On a sci-fi/fantasy website there is no love for a girl who spends all her time reading fairy tales?

"Future archeologists think Carrot-Top is what?"

"We don't accept bills over $1,000,000,000."

"I only eat ethically raised children."

"Sorry, I'm just a part-time god."
