Well, they reference some kind of qualification and there's plenty of climbing gyms around the world which allow for multipitch climbing. Often you have to bring your own rope though. On the other hand, I can think of a multitude of wa

It's because the ranges of distributions you sample from don't necessarily line up nicely with our number systems. For example, if you're measuring the distance between you and nearby stars in light years does it seem likely

Honestly, it could be at least partially that you don't understand relativity as well as you think you do. In many ways even special relativity is far more complex and at times counter-intuitive than is generally understood by people w

Well the watch isn't measuring troponin levels so it's hard to imagine how useful it could ever be at MI detection, especially given the limitations of a poor contact single lead ECG.

I'm sure you're already on top of all of this and I hope you'll forgive the tangent, but if you're starting to get RA symptoms you should be acting now. It used to be the practice of rheumatologists to wait to treat unti

The first datasheet I found for a Cypress FRAM chip gives a required power down rate of at most 30us/V which allows it to continue to provide normal operation protecting data. It's a very easy limitation to live with and engineers

Absolutely. Electrons are accelerated by the field until they hit something. The average velocity of all the electrons due to the competing acceleration and collisions is the drift velocity and it's very slow. On the other hand, electr

Interestingly it is, but more because of the associated costs. Extra panel efficiency means you need less land, less mounting hardware, and fewer installers for the same power solar farm.

No the force is not the same. To actually reel the kite in you will need to pull on the lines with more force than during normal constant distance flight. It is this delta that I was implicitly referring to. The work done as you reel the ki

Caves are reasonably biologically inert once you get a bit deeper in simply due to the lack of sunlight. If you leave waste down there, it'll stay there for a long time and have a relatively large impact on the fragile cave microbiota.
