Orbital dynamics means that literally anything in orbit could be an anti satellite weapon.

What if you used an object in another orbit to fire a projectile? Wouldn't that make the differences in energies pretty significant?

There's only a few games I enjoyed for the writing. Hard Rain and LA Noire come to mind.

All the edx courses I've taken are basically text books in video form. Coursera has a very strong formula of short videos with frequent questions, often a question every two to five minutes to make sure you understand the material

Are all of your emotions tied to consumer goods?

Is that really a big deal? Is that form actively harmful? After all, it's mostly melted sand. Seems like it would be no worse than having a rock to me, but I don't know enough to say that definitively.

They talk about a lot more than just homework here. They talk about tutoring, reading, art and music lessons and other extracurriculars.

This study sends all kinds of red flags for me. First, they are looking at a very wide range of activities and calling them enrichment. They include tutoring, music lessons, reading, and other "extracurricular activities" as an &

It's actually a lot more complicated than that. Tribal law is mostly for intra tribal criminal cases, and does not have jurisdiction over people who aren't members of the tribe or when a crime is committed outside a reservation.

I've been studying teaching a lot lately, and one of the things all of the books say is that mastery of the material is required but not sufficient to be a good teacher. The other skills, which basically come down to organization and

That's not how I judge likelihood at all. If you were to say that there is more mathematical wiggle room for other explanations, I would be more likely to agree, but simply having to change models has no impact on likelihood. That thi

How do you even judge the likelihood of something like that?

So does dark matter interact with itself outside of gravity? If not, how does the visible matter separate from dark matter.

But realistically it's probably the mundane explanation, just like the faster than light travel a few years ago.

A whole lot of review of policy and very little clear commitment to action.

The Romans pre Christianity pretty much adopted any God they liked. There people who worshipped gods from the Greek, Egyptian, and many other pantheons as well as weirder sects and cults. With a few exceptions like the Jews, most people di

Wouldn't brightness have a cube root relationship to energy, because it radiates into space? That would make it 125 million times more energetic. Edit: Rereading the article, it seems it's only one order of magnitude higher than

That's the timescale the solar system is stable on.

The US is currently a net exporter of oil, or at least was until the recent price drop. Saudi Arabia's capacity of pumping oil is completely based on what they view as their best interest in making money while maintaining market share

I believe it depends on the specifics of the merger, but my understanding is the reason black holes that orbit each other merge at all is because they bleed energy to gravitational waves. While they are at a reasonable distance, that'

Pregnant women are going to be younger on average, and this affects older people the most. Also, same thing as the comment above says, just because they dont have symptoms now does not mean they will never have symptoms.

The act of enslavement is in fact a two way street. You have to choose to want whatever you can buy with money in order to be enslaved. It's a choice most people just don't know they are making. For many, it's also a choic

Nature doesn't compute random numbers, it has underlying processes either random or so opaque as to be effectively random.

You're not reading this correctly. It's questioning the assumption that the Supernova are of the same brightness no matter the age of the star. Because the supernovaing stars are on average older now then they were in the early

There is a lot still outside your control when you are driving or walking, namely other people driving their cars. You can be the best driver in the world, it's not going to stop people behaving like idiots.

Gain some perspective. It's historically a very pretty common idea. People have been writing about how the world is going to shit since they could write, and yet most people's lives have been getting better most of the time. Why

No, quantum supremacy is about quantum computers being better at one thing. Then there will be a reason to use them. It's like making a screwdriver when you already have a hammer. Sometime a hammer and nails is better and sometimes
