I understand that black holes are described by precisely three parameters: mass, spin, and charge. I am assuming that these are the only way to describe anything within an event horizon.

Reading a little further into the wiki, the depth of atomic matter is controlled by the neutron drip line. Since neutron stars have a maximum mass, this is likely a feature that they all exhibit. At the beginning of the neutron drip, the pr

As I referenced in the wiki above, the surface of a neutron star is ordinary atomic matter (fully ionized), perhaps iron.

As I understand it, the surface of a neutron star is an iron shell. "Current models indicate that matter at the surface of a neutron star is composed of ordinary atomic nuclei crushed into a solid lattice with a sea of electrons flowin

I'm looking at a receipt in an Iowa restaurant that says "Total: $13.23; Pay With Cash: $12.71."

Tuxedo ran on many other vendors operating systems and architectures. It was portable, developed by AT&T. How many other platforms will run IMS?

If you have applications that run (and rely) on z/OS, this kind a machine makes sense. The e10k didn't have applications like that. Just about everything you could do on it could be made to work on commodity x86 with Linux (after

Intel still knows 14nm quite well, and would likely sell access to the line if asked. If Taiwan ceased to exist, that would put us a decade back.

The article mentions that largish batteries are needed for synthetic inertia, which I am guessing use A/C inverters. Spain appeared to lack sufficient batteries. Obviously, this configuration of solar and battery banks will work more o

However, solar caused problems in Spain recently due to its lack of mechanical inertia, which brought their grid down due to frequency instability. Fusion would use a conventional turbine with boiling water. Is this a better source of mecha

No, it is not about that. All of our behaviors were ruthlessly selected by evolution in the 60k years since we emerged as a species. The behaviors were never about the individual. We kept them because they reproduced.

Life really answers that question for you. If you are successful and established, friendship often means obligation. Money, skill, resources and effort are requested, sometimes politely, sometimes not. If you are not successful and establis

It was a gift from the Ottoman Empire. That political entity no longer exists, and the people of Egypt would likely never have willingly parted with the many obelisks and other historical artifacts that have left their shores.

This is the MinGW cross-compiler for Windows that I found in EPEL. Alas, no ADA. "Using this toolchain allows you to build binaries for the following programming languages: C, C++, Objective-C, Objective-C++ and Fortran." https:&
