Einstein's famous E=mc² equation is actually a special case of the general equation [1] E²= (mc²)² + (pc)² Where m is the rest mass of the particle (the mass measured when the particle is stationary relative to the observer) and p is t

Being in the UK, I've never bothered with leaderboards either because of the timezoning. I haven't even bothered with the private leaderboards as friends have varied commitments that still adds a time advantage to others. AoC has

Driving a heat pump mechanically with a microhydro system would be interesting. More consistent energy output paired with easy storage.
