I am not sure, I am not a physicist. What I understand is that the contemporary conception is that the mass does not change. I just presented the argument for a notion of rest mass and relative mass.

Since E=mc^2 -> m=E/c^2. For a moving object you could then m=(Er+Ek)/c^2, which creates the impression that the mass is variable (as the term Ek is zero when at rest and increasing with velocity), giving rise to the terms &#x2

I wonder if this is due to the success of the current models (less hidden corners), academic incentives for paper production as opposed to breakthrough work, the ever growing specificity and cost of experiments (making less sure experiments

No hadron can achieve the speed of light. See: Ek=mc^2/√(1−(v/c)^2)−mc^2 For v<<c you have significant discrepancies on the energy required to accelerate to a specific speed with regard to mass. I.E. Newton: Ek=(mv^2)/2

The sun could be used as well, the problem is that the focus would be outside the solar system.

It certainly feels like it. If it did not have that snark though, one could make the point that the data could still be 'deanonimitized'.

I think the concerns are more about lowering the need of the testes to produce testosterone, leading to atrophy. Of course, it can be beneficial if you want to keep a baseline that's important for your health. Otherwise, something that

I don't understand, is there a way to assume you would swim in something that's not natural? For me, in Brazil, surrounded by waterfalls and beaches it's not only common but also necessary for you to relax sometimes.

I remember the first time I found the firebug JavaScript snippet, I could finally use a decent debugger when testing other browsers. That was equally kind blowing to me.

What if the keyboard is silent, e.g. brown switches or lighter? What is the issue in choosing the work tool you'll be using for 8+ hours daily? And how does that make you an asshole?

Exactly, I too agree with the grandparent, but I think parent has pushed too far on the other side of the spectrum. Saying that as a Brazilian that is astounded every time Latin America is implied to not be 'western'. I would feel

Given the limitations of such a medium I wonder if the TCP/IP stack is still viable or another transport protocol is used.

Perhaps a case for robots.txt for phones? Of course malicious behaviour will not comply, but would at least filter the mainstream products.

It's not like all channels are obligated to perform as dictated. So, for a free, subsidized public channel, it makes a lot of sense to offer something different from the commercial crap. I learned a lot watching public funded science d
