Give him a break. He knows at least as much about physics as Mary Schiavo, with her black hole comment.
To echo a blogging friend:
One should always speak good of the dead.
Good.
Yeah, I hear you. Interesting story about censorship in Oklahoma: http://arstechnica.com/science...
I was initially surprised by the fact there wasn't more outrage over Cosmos tipping over conservative apple carts
Drop in on the IMDB.
No, but it runs...awww, I can't do it.
many supposed 'suicides' especially by younger people, are actually just acts of auto-erotic asphyxiation gone wrong.
A junior high school classmate of mine managed to off himself that way. He did it outdoors, in some woods, and was found first by children so there was a crowd, including reporters, by the time the police got there. Nobody said anything about "suicide" -- the cops put on a show of hunting for a "crazed sex fiend" until it faded out of the papers.
Because with the events of the last week or so, certain people have lost a LOT of money. Sure, it may not be his fault, but issues like this are sometimes settled...ummm...out of court.

2. It's not a jet. See, those things on the front are called propellers.
3. The Germans developed a perfectly good high-speed jet fighter of their own. What they did lack was access to exotic materials to give the engines an acceptable service life.
4. The junkyard of aeronautical engineering is full of sexy-looking designs that never flew or were even built. If nobody builds one, there's generally a pretty good reason. Especially in wartime.
...and, I didn't RTFA. Sorry about that.
There are five "magic" numbers, each of which has a unique property: 0, 1, i, e, and pi. And there's an equation that uses each of them exactly once and no other numbers:
e^(i x pi) + 1 = 0
I remember reading about a plane where there was a crawspace so you could do maintenance on engines while in flight.
The B-36 bomber and one or two others.
