An aeolipile is massively inefficient and it would have been almost impossible for ancient societies to extract useful work from it. By constantly releasing steam, an enormous amount of energy and matter is released from the engine that cou

If this is BMJ's best argument, then I'm going to have to side with Facebook on this one. This quote right here basically sums up the silliness of the BMJ's argument: >Alan Duke, editor in chief of Lead Stories, told The B

The term "Dark Matter" refers to an unknown kind of matter that interacts gravitationally but not electromagnetically. My comment is referring to cool baryonic matter, ie the same kind of matter than you and I are made of. In othe

Last I read, such galaxies aren't a problem for MOND. MOND doesn't say that all matter in the universe is detectable, it just says that due to modified gravity, the apparent missing mass we observe can be explained by dust or some

There's a caveat to the rosy picture this article seems to paint of the past. In the 14th century, the black death and The Great Famine Killed a huge number of people but also is believed to have raised the standard of living for lower

Spending for emergency health care is between 2%-7% of total US health care spending depending on who you ask. It's an important consideration of course, but the vast majority of health care can exist in a market to one extent or anoth

Cool stuff. I hope they make it onto the road. What was really interesting to me is that the page suggests that most of their on road testing is done in the US. Michelin is a French company and there are lots of good European card companies
