Not a physicist, but a cyclist and an engineer--

If the population travels as 'c' on average, and they have proven that some photons slow down... Doesn't that mean other photons MUST be traveling faster than c? My impression is the relativity has no bearing here--by traveling at 'c' they are already breaking that equation. The peloton works because some move back while others move up. This blurb seems to only discuss the "back" part.

That's awesome, but how does that relate to crash-testing & safety standards? Are these such low-volume the normal regulations don't apply?

Do they embed reinforcements or print around a base frame?

Sounds like an awesome concept, but so many questions...

Why would a corporation care?

Did you panic when she started deflating?

Unfortunately, TFA doesn't suggest the question. Gamma bursts were not expected on Earth because they are created by nuclear interactions. Common for stars and other cosmic objects but not expected in thunderstorms. The source could be electrical, which means they are technically x-rays but at a higher energy then thought possible. Alternatively, there is significant nuclear fusion going on in those storms.

I'd argue that A pillars have been getting progressively fatter to the point now that in some cars they are dangerous. Having years of FPS gaming experience I have hawk like spatial awareness, but even I've been caught out with once or twice with entire cars hidden behind the A pillar at certain angles. Some cars are worse than others, the worst I've had is the Holden/Vauxhall Monaro/Pontiac GTO. The A pillars in that thing should be illegal.

For those interested in time travel, the inaugural meeting of the International Time Travel Association will be held at the Perimeter Institute last Tuesday at 20:00. The meeting location will be posted next Wednesday.

Yeah, but birds can't carry explosives

how do we know that this wasn't a government drone and/or operated by or at the government's direction?

Perhaps you just suck at building fusion generators, like the Apollo 13 astronauts sucked at stirring.

Maybe I haven't had enough coffee yet, but something doesn't make sense. The rock is 4.4 billion years old, but is the oldest rock on earth? The rocks it impacted must thus have been older than that, or else it would have just been absorbed into the molten ball that was the earth. Also the article says it began its journey 5 billion years ago - so before it existed?

void main() {

while (true) { if (humans = (detect_humans()) { kill(humans) } if (low_on_fuel_or_ammunition()) { fetch_fuel_or_ammunition() } } } // die, humans
