I have a Windows 7 machine around that used to run IE 11, but one day it silently updated that to "Edgium", which is great.

As migraine sufferer, I find relief in only two thoughts: - my migraines last 4 hours and happen once every 3-6 months, and there are people who have 72hs long migraines, or migraine every few days - I could've had cluster headache ins

I truly dyslike when somebody uses that particular phrase, because it frames other participant as somehow close minded. The fact that Penrose’s work is possible and ongoing is proof enough that scientific discourse on the matter is open and

Scientific approach to the matter is actually simple: its scientifically impossible to research state before the big bang because no information from before original singularity is available. This makes question non-scientific. We have wigg
