There is a mounting belief amongst a lot of cosmologists that the Big Bang was only the beginning of this iteration of the universe and/or we're just another bubble off the multiverse with reality itself being eternal. Which to me makes more sense than it just appearing literally out of nothing.

Apparently he and Putin lied about it. I'm as shocked as you are.

I could not find anywhere in a number of public announcements the efficiency achieved for any of the top three designs! It appears then that efficiency was NOT a criterion at all in Google's Little Box challenge, but only Power Density and resulting total volume!
I spent 42 years in Power Electronics with the main goal of improving efficiency and reducing magnetics size tenfold without increasing switching frequency! Both are the prime factors enabling smaller size and weight! Without the efficiency objective and novel systems solutions, the glorification of the power density alone sends absolutely wrong signals to Power Electronics industry and misleads young engineers as to what is really important! This is one man’s opinion, I invite yours!

The longest-living person whose dates of birth and death were verified to the modern norms of Guinness World Records and the Gerontology Research Group was Jeanne Calment, a French woman who lived to 122. The maximum (recorded) life span for humans has increased from 103 in 1798 to 110 years in 1898, 115 years in 1986, and 122.45 years since Calment's death in 1997 (See List of the verified oldest people and List of verified supercentenarians who died before 1980), among steady improvements in overall life expectancy. Reduction of infant mortality has accounted for most of this increased average longevity, but since the 1960s mortality rates among those over 80 years have decreased by about 1.5% per year. "The progress being made in lengthening lifespans and postponing senescence is entirely due to medical and public-health efforts, rising standards of living, better education, healthier nutrition and more salubrious lifestyles."[3]

That's interesting that that's your experience. I've found it interesting that it seems like many religious conservatives don't object to trans* the way they do to homosexuality.

Strange world we live in

Our pediatrician once told me, every kid should have eaten a pound of dirt by the time they're two. While she didn't mean it literally (at least not that much dirt), she's talked about the 'immune system needing exercise', and that helicopter parenting actually denies kids a certain amount of exposure that's healthy. To be clear she's NOT an anti-vaxxer, on the contrary, but thinks both natural and pharm assisted immunity/resistance is a good idea.

I can't tell if you're trying to be funny, or if you are actually as stupendously ignorant about science as you're post portrays you to be.... it's very hard to tell in writing. I generally try to give people the benefit of doubt, but i get the vibe you're not trying to be funny.

    Science is based on observation and experimentation. What that means is, the more exacting observations we make, and the more fine tuned our experimentation, the more precise our knowledge becomes... that's pretty basic, 4th-6th grade level science. If you want something that once said never, ever changes, regardless of new information, then stick to religion.
