It was most decidedly an inelastic impact. It is not a useful way to validate newton's laws giving the overwhelming complexity of the event.

Basically no change in it's orbit around the sun, it's gravitationally bound to a much larger asteroid.

Incomplete/unconfirmed data is showing some discrepancies for what our tentative models of the early universe predict. The data could be wrong or misinterpreted, the models could be wrong, incomplete or misinterpreted, or the could be

It would not make it very far as it passes though interstellar gas that is not antimatter.

As long as the heat pump was properly sized for such an uninsulated home it would still heat it more efficiently than a resistive element heater and just as completely. Of course, if saving money is what you want to do, then yes, insulate b

The galaxy isn't static. Sure, right now the nearest star is more than 4 light years away, but wait around a few million years. You'll get stars passing within a fraction of a light year.

There will be plenty of other interstellar objects that pass through our solar system. Oumuamua wasn't some special once in a lifetime event, it's just we are just getting the capability online to see these objects. We will see th

This doesn't appear to have been the case until 2008, at least with multiwire branch circuits that supply separate outlets. Many if not most 100A panels with multiwire branch circuits will have been wired with breakers without ties.

by russdill 4y ago
Even with the same size breakers you have to be careful. Many circuits in the US are wired using a shared neutral. These circuits must not share the same phase and when rewiring an entire panel this seems like it'd be an easy mistake t

Induction ranges are more efficient, so to heat at the same rate as an ordinary electric range, use less energy. But many people want an induction range that is more powerful than a typical electric range.

Dunno, to me it says something a bit anthropic about the ability to extract entropy from stars.

We are getting so far off the path here, but to give you an idea of how much of the earth human activity is taking up, wild mammals account for a mere 4% of mammal biomass. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons

That there is no delayed choice or quantum eraser. The naming of the experiment is based on waveform collapse interpretations.

I think the parent is using the terms here in a very loose way and it's not trying to refer to the quantum zeno effect but rather the emergence of the classical world.

The concept for this is called decoherence

Myocarditis is a common immune reaction and not specific to mRNA or even vaccines https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6786665/

The number of things your immune system knows about is absolutely enormous and grows everyday. Vaccinations are a tiny drop in the bucket

Small sample sizes can make it very difficult to determine effectiveness. Fortunately there is a ton of data out though if you are curious. The effectiveness does vary widely from year to year.

That and I see all the wheels and my mind immediately turns to bearing care. Except these have a lot more than just bearings.

No problem, they just need a firmware update to run the wheels in reverse.

Incidentally, part of making an updated employment agreement binding is consideration (such as a raise). Just telling you to sign something out else you're fired is harder to enforce.

Plows running on overhead lines makes for very bad failure cases. Power outages are common in heavy snow storms. Emergency services and repair crews usually need to reach areas without power urgently. With plows run by overhead lines, these

There are two problems. One is that some people have a body that drives then incredibly strongly towards a certain size. The other is they there are people that given the opportunity to eat whatever they want whenever they want will slowly

Just to be pedantic, Mars is absolutely covered in oxygen. It's the most abundant element in the atmosphere and second most abundant in the crust. It's part of the reason they planet is red.

It's just describing quantum mechanics. If it's not the case, quantum mechanics is wrong.

Seriously, I wonder if it's father's saying stuff like this. You just need to go on YouTube and see the abuse that mother's get from infants and small children while co-sleeping.

Incidentally, potty training can also involve a lot of crying, tantrums, etc. I would say I don't see the uproar of parents claiming it's child abuse, but the numbers of children past 36 mo that are not potty trained is pretty sho
