So, it is worth bringing up: GR doesn't require global conservation of momentum or energy.[0,1] I'm not saying anything about the experiment, but I think your statement that "conservation of momentum is more deeply embedded.

Sure, but then we aren't in a situation where growth of wages isn't keeping pace with GDP, we are in a situation where healthcare cost increases are outpacing GDP. They are two different problems.

>And it doesn't mention that even the most educated workers are not keeping pace with real GDP growth. Doesn't this go away when you take into account benefits on top of salary?

This isn't a zero tolerance problem. The charging was under the discretion of the cops, which means discretion was applied and abused.

newlines need to be escaped somehow (two newlines seems to do it), otherwise they are combined into the same line: Every word in this sentence was entered on a different line.

I don't know, the sport of it, rather than the engineering of it, is now more important. Instead of the company with the most money, the driver skill is more important this round.

This article is horrible. The paper is here: http://www.opticsinfobase.org/oe/abstract.cfm?URI=oe-22-21-2... First off, the reason you want light for transmission on chips isn't because it is "faster",

It can't bend light without loss... It actually is pretty lossy (the paper references an attenuation of 270 cm^-1, or 1/e loss per 270 cm.)

One reason is because mirrors (freespace optics in general), are limited in how narrowly confined the beam can be. Generally speaking, waveguides can have cross sectional area of ~ λ^2 or less, while freespace optics can only get below tha

by what measure? 100lb of helium is exactly the same by weight as a 100lb of propane. By volume, in a cylinder, it is approximately the same (I believe). By number of atoms, it is much more (a factor of 10 or so).

To do 4 - 8 times the work... (depending on how you think about it). In order to create a "bar" .2 mm on a side, the .1mm printer needs to lay down 4 lines, while the .2 mm printer only lays down one.
