My main issue isn't the fact that the church is hoarding money and keeping, it is with the fact that the US government makes exemptions for them. What is the reasoning behind the tax-exemption and the exemption to reveal all financial

Asking it a question most humans wouldn't know the answer to, but which is relatively easy for an AI (volume of a 747, 25th to 34th digit of pi, full name of Ramses the Second) and checking the timing of the result is a pretty good app

It would make sense to have telescopes in orbit at Lagrange points around various gas giants and in far corners of space. The maximum definition of the Event Horizon telescope is based on the physical distance of each of the observatories o

For hundreds of millions of years, animals have walked our Earth. We are a cosmic blip on our planet. What spectacular hubris we have to think we are so special that we can 'manage' our climate and have the authority to do so.

It could, but it is quite unlikely to happen. More plausible is a NEMP, in which an adversarial foreign state uses a nuclear explosion in the upper layers of the atmosphere to create a similar effect. A good fiction book in this regard is &

The text file example is pretty flawed. There are quite a few benefits to using databases over text files aside from being a place to store data. Structuring, availability, race conditions, etc. Including and using a NoSQL database is hardl

My kids had a blast when we were in the Azores last summer digging through the volcanic sand beach for these green, orange, and red stones. They aren't found near the beach where we live, and we took a few larger ones back home. This g

That is mostly because the international space community works with metric, so the Karman line is at 100km above earth, and converting to imperial units would be forced. Remember, there are only three countries that use imperial units; two

What do we do if they launch on the 18th or the 19th, or after the 20th? No exchange seems logical, since we both didn't predict those dates.

Considering the lack of an atmosphere, an infinity pool on the moon would be frozen during sundown, and sublimate away as soon as the sun reached it. Unless your 'completely different league' meant 'completely useless',

Hard disagree. Finding 'water' trapped in glass beads isn't something useful to us. Converting that to potable or even just liquid water will take far more energy than taking that water out of Earth's gravity well using

Please note that the black hole is causing star formation from gas, not moving star systems. From what I gathered from the article, there are very few stars actually in its path, and it is mostly just plowing through a large gas cloud.
