That's "whose status we were commenting on" I dunno. Kids these days.
For a long time, I had high hopes for the roton winning the x-prize. Not just because it looked silly (which it unqestionably did, to my mind), but...
As I understand it (and I'm not an expert), particles don't have mass per se; they have mass conferred on them by interacting with the Higgs. So the...
This'd be a great idea if it weren't for those pesky laws of thermodynamics.

Spaceballs was fucking hilarious Well, 'hilarious' in the sense that it had a few good jokes hidden amongst the tedious inanity. Well worth a watch,...

What do you call a boy who eats his mother and father? An orphan.
The CMB doesn't have a distance; it permeates the universe. But apart from that, I don't understand the question. Why twice?
Unfortunately, those who paste tend to be lazy about it, ignoring the rich vein of hyperlinks that often accompany these texts. Instead of following...
I think so. Two examples: 1. Virtual particles. These seem to pop in and out of the universe in a wholly unpredictable way. So not only are they...
You're only realising this now? Listening to Bill Hicks?
It's looking less likely that it'll be found, but I wouldn't give up yet. I do think it'd be rather cool if it wasn't there, though. BTW: thanks...
Antimatter is only efficient if it's cheap to produce. In terms of energy output, yeah, it's great, but fifty kg of the stuff at the moment - and for...
That's why I said the issue of a definition of humanity will become meaningless. We speak of 'human rights' at the moment because humans are the only...
