I can't wait for the Lego based game

I think a Moebius Coin would be more apropo

And by no one I mean Mr. Anonymous Coward...

Jeez, has no one ever heard of a back of an envelope calculation? Here, let me blow your mind: Pi = 3

Actually, I wonder about the heat from the friction of the air for that long. in addition to the freezing temperatures prior to high velocity.

PE = mgh ~= 76Kg*10m/s^2*120000ft*0.3m/ft = 27,360,000Nm. This is the equivalent energy of a man the same weight traveling at about 848m/s: over twice the speed of sound. (to be fair I used the minimal mass of the average human male) I consider this significant help from technology.

They usually tell engineers to over-engineer, when in doubt, but props to these guys for taking it to the next level!

Agreed. That term definitely not applicable here. maturity for a technology implies quite a few working revisions, ending in a better performance (by whatever metric is applicable) and a certain integration into society.

Some users might be dim enough to need a backlight for that anyways...

Is there a walkthrough online for this game yet? I keep getting stuck right at the start!

Not just that but excessive neuronal activity is highly inefficient. There's evidence that even within specialized tasks, such as visual and auditory perception, the brain is trying to minimize the number of neurons firing (see work pertaining to sparse decomposition in neural activity such as some of the research done here: https://redwood.berkeley.edu/). Still, I don't think that %10 is a good number to quote, even for instantaneous usage. Very, very little is actually known about the brain aside from rather weak correlations.

For every gene, there is an enzyme that actually expresses that gene. DNA itself does nothing, it's the expression of the DNA that makes cells develop etc. By blocking the enzymes that express the genes, the genes themselves get suppressed. So it's all about the enzymes that exist in the cell.
