It's not a coincidence at all if general relativity has a symmetrically reversed effect on spacetime for antimatter (time-compression-based cosmic inflation, no baryogenesis problem) and galaxies are the small bits of matter inside clumps of neutrinos surrounded by anti-neutrinos. Sounds crazy, but next to dark energy (and dark matter...extra curvature increasing toward the outside)... At least it has some elegance.

My bet is on the James Webb telescope observing distant galaxies that are too old to make sense without significant spacetime separation being an illusion based on the above hypothesis. We'll see. More localized effects like inverse lensing between galaxies and asymptotic pursuit of matter by antimatter are probably harder to observe.

Actually both of those issues are easily fixed! The transition can be changed to 60 minutes instead of a few seconds, and the length of day can be adjusted by giving it a different set of geographic coordinates. I use both of those tricks to customize it. :-)

You just made me think of how the best strategy underlying any victory in Civilization is to get as much Science as possible. :-)

Should you happen to misplace your weighted companion cube, you can request a replacement with any one of these conveniently located buttons.

You've got some wires crossed--the RAM numbers were given by someone else.

To be honest I haven't studied particulars, edge cases, etc... But one thing that strikes me is even on a fresh install, files accessed and read to memory will likely stay in memory until it's needed by other tasks. That doesn't take a cache history, it's just lazy freeing of memory in case the contents are needed again. Again, haven't tested anything, this is conjecture.

You and the other poster may actually both be right, with very specific use cases revealing both the best and worst behaviors and making for a very confused argument. :P

Windows uses memory to cache things, making the system faster if it can. It will use less RAM if it has to, and they have been improving efficiency when resources are tight.

You can't predict memory use on a low-memory system from the behavior of one with a lot of memory.

I don't really understand it, but I've wondered if the wave/particle duality comes from the fact that quantum waves are like standing waves and have boundaries within which specific numbers of oscillation patterns can occur. Then waves give the uncertainty of oscillations, while the quantization gives the discrete particle behavior.

At a guess, maybe it takes longer to accumulate than the time we can mine it in? ...Like some other resources we've used closer at hand...

Maybe a lobbyist?

Unless it requires two-factor confirmation to change settings, like a verification code sent by text message.

Did you download the installer and run it or something? My search provider stayed the same, but I updated through the About menu.

People keep saying Firefox imitated Chrome, but I'm pretty sure I've heard that Chrome actually used designs Firefox had already planned for future releases. . .

This right here. It's one thing to be disconnected from a network, and quite another to have your system/data wiped selectively.

Grandparent is just voicing caution, same as you. There are heated interests and reasons for caution on both sides.

If you assume the flow is between "not done" and "done" then it means getting done faster. No problem here. :)
