This makes the most sense to me. Do you get worried that the ants will see you and freak out when you're hiking through the woods?

I don't this is exactly accurate. Hawking radiation for example, causes black holes to evaporate over time. While the radiation that is detected outside the black hole has positive mass/energy the in-falling anti-particles have ne

As you approach the speed of light, the amount of time you experience gets slower as compared to a stationary observer. This means that a photon, which travels at the speed of light, actually experiences no time at all. I like to think of t

I'm curious what types of workouts you're doing. If they're that terrible (hot, humiliating and uncomfortable) you would likely benefit from scaling or changing entirely the movements you're doing. I say that knowing ful

omg, i <3 love this... esp cool that you included technical details like the amount of rotation caused by glass slabs.

Was just wondering the same. I suspect the Planck Length is a lower bound on the hypothetically smallest unit of distance, however in practice perhaps it's larger. The difference between this experimental resolution (10^-18m) and the P

The difficulty I have with the "universe as a simulation" hypothesis is that it pre-supposes a fundamental difference between simulation and reality, which I strongly suspect is not the case. Everything we have observed about our

This looks amazing and well timed as I've been attempting to learn Linear Algebra on the side. However, everything after Vector Products is "coming soon". I will definitely use this once it's all there, which i hope is

Is power consumption a problem here? It seems like power production on a space craft would be quite limited (solar, plutonium?) and this thing would consume a lot of it. Is the idea that this would always be on or only on in an emergency?

Another interesting side effect of the outdoors that I've noticed is the impact on human social interaction. I ride the train into SF every day and throughout the week I sit next to countless other people without speaking to a single

Right, magnetars are neutron stars, which are produced during supernovae. So, what is it about this event that makes it unique (i.e. produce ultra-long GRB). According to Wikipedia (thx tvmalsv!), ~10% of supernovae produce a Magnetar. Ho

I'm still not clear on the process they're describing. According to the article, a Supernova was "powered by the decaying super-strong magnetic fields around an exotic object called a magnetar". This is what caused the

This is a great explanation. One other bit I'll add is that the particles they're colliding are protons, which are made of other particles, called quarks. While the protons are colliding with a relative energy of 13TeV (or will

The LHC just doubled it's power. While only operating at 50% it discovered several new particles including the Higgs Boson. Now that it's nearing 100% they're hoping to discover physics beyond the Standard Model. That coul

So if time is the result of increasing entanglement, what does it imply that massive objects (i.e. black holes) slow time?

We're doing a lot of complex BLE interaction with our hardware devices at Emberlight. This framework was a solution to making it easier to add new functionality with less work. For example, if our firmware guy says we need to call 3

That was kind of my reaction about half way into this story. I can't say his career as a life coach hynpotherapist who charges $40K a week makes him easy to sympathize with either.

I noticed a lot of these comments ended up referencing challenges with lighting so I figured it would be good to chime in here (caveat: co-founder @ emberlight.co). Interaction models are something we've been thinking about quite a bit
