I think that to the best of anyone's ability to tell, the speed of light is ultimately fixed and represents the speed of causality. I think that we can do a lot within those limits, much of it beyond belief today. That said, I truly

The Alcubierre drive might or might not work on our universe; it requires something which may not exist. If it did work, it would also be a time machine, and so far causality has been a safer bet. M-theory is engaging and fascinating, fille

Definitely the latter, “traversible” means “in principle”

Doesn't the inflation theory contradict this? If expansion (or contraction) of spacetime can occur faster than the speed of light, then it could theoretically enact causality faster too right? There is no theoretical limit to the rat

Speaking of 2007, remember how hyped motion controls were? Remember how excited we got when we saw people "bowling" and "boxing" on Wii Sports? Remember the thrill of booting up LoZ Twilight Princess for the first time?

Assuming that c is really the speed of causality, then no, there’s a limit to large scale structures or operations in an expanding universe.

True, but there are few better demonstrations of the weakness of an argument than asking for someone to prove it, instead to be met with anger and verbiage.

My problem seems to be that there is some significant overlap between the groups, “people who use HN” and “people who are the target audience for self help books.” Worse, are people who can’t cite and instead throw articles into the mix, wh

Years ago one of the brothers on Car Talk said that at his school when he was a kid, the remedial students who mostly shop work were called “Sloyds” and he never knew why. Now after years, and after his death sadly, I have the answer.

Citations, not a diet books and anecdotes. Edit: hate my tone all you like, but keep in mind if this weren’t fringe bullshit I’d be met with more than downvotes and attitude.

The moon is pretty dead, so no processes exist... if they’re stable, barring asteroid strike. They’d remain stable. The problem is metastability, the “death block” problem in ice climbing.

Just know that many times a family has done it on behalf of someone deceased. A name on a plaque doesn’t mean that person said, “put my name on it!” Although it can mean that, and when it does I agree with your assessment.

Again, you’re making assumptions, and offering only rhetoric. Why?

It's not that simple though, it's also about: does predator A hunt at times and in areas when/where prey 1 lives/acts? If not, then you get a Hawaiian Rats vs. Mongeese scenario. Like so many invasive species that now r

I hear these anecdotes in many forms, and in my experience the real shared causative factor is making a decision to change, and acting on it. I don't know if it matters what that change is, as long as it's healthy and changes the

With very few edits, you've identified the problem with science journalism: The problem with studies... is that they confuse correlation and caution [sic] then make some wild unsubstantiated stab at causation... "

Good question! I don't know and I assume others don't as well. Unsafe assumption. Why not go the self-education route before taking the "angry preacher" role so seriously?

It took decades of deprecating and degrading the entire judicial system in the US to get to this point, finally catalyzed by 9/11.
