Unlike any other field, the medium in which we work imposes no ceiling on what we can do with it, Gödel incompleteness notwithstanding. There is no "beyond".
Unlike any other? So you tell me the medium of science imposes ceilings? Like there is going to be a point where 'breaking news: we know EVERYTHING about the universe'?
This is not true. You can extinguish burning (white) phosphorus with water. Trouble is, after the water runs off it will self ignite again on contact with air above 30 degrees C.
Its this one allotrope out of many that is highly reactive, and single atoms embedded in silicon have hardly anything to do with the character of a bulk of the pure element.
Then be sure you are a long way away, and off the beaten path i.e. a small town.
Going to a remote place where strangers stick out the local community is exactly the opposite one should do. Color your hair, put on a fake beard and go to downtown New York.
So why the fuck would anyone want to be on facebook?
When social networking started in the early 2000s it took me about two months on a network to realize how dangerous this can be and deleted my account right there.
I think it should be pointed out that it's magnesium _alloys_ we are talking about. As opposed to titanium which afaik can support structures in pure form.
In fact, unmanned attack swarms are still science fiction. The swarming research that is going on (and demonstrated in the article) is all about surveillance and reconnaissance.
I don't think tuning a swarm to spy on something is all that different from tuning a swarm to shoot something.
Critical mission hardware is always far behind in performance, be it military or civilian. The avionics of the 787 will not run on i7, either. The systems are tested for faultless operation until their noses bleed and that takes time.
A fine kick off for the patent reform would be to shut down that Texas district court. I was going to say 'revolution' and 'burn down' but those words are too big for me.
Moving onto clouds always gives me the sense of losing control.
With government agencies I am pretty sure my tax payment records will be the first they loose, my traffic offense records the last.
This move by Toyota would mean that they recognize the patent as valid.
That in turn would make the patent and the troll company with it three zeroes more worth in a flash.
The recommended _oral_ intake of zinc is on the order of 10 mg. Dumping hundreds of mgs directly into the blood stream is by no means the same ballpark and definitely could be a problem.
Anyone know what it is in elephants ?
Fuck elephants.
Give it to me in cars.
It's an exponential decay. There is no sharp cutoff. Nothing special happens at 100 km.
Yes it does. At around that height the theoretical speed that would be required to generate enough lift to stay in the 'air' surpasses orbital speed in vacuum.
Look at 'Karman line'.
Do you really think tailgate asses do it because they are late?
They do it because it's what they like. I heard it's the only way they can get an erection.
'It kills me that the moon has better bandwidth than my house.'
Yeah well, I bet the thing did cost couple of digits more than your house
