I am inclined to agree, however Amazon basically offers you the service of scanning and rebinding as a service, and as you said that is basically selling the rebound book.

You are collapsing the wave function at t1 and t2. At t1 explicitly by stating that the state is known, and by t2 implicitly by defining that you have a defined distance t2- t1. The emission of an photon at an explicit time t2 is not revers

Perhaps one could use greasemonkey to inject Google analytics into arbitrary sites. (And load some font, and perhaps have a 20 second timeout somewhere.)

The thing about zeppelins is, that (party) balloons give the completely wrong intuition about things that float in air. A balloon does float quite freely and without much air resistance, but by contrast a zeppelin is a substantial piece of

Actually not. Even if it was a lot rarer for people in the past to travel long distances, it is not that it just never happened. There were Indian people in classical Greece, at least one commander of Roman Britain was from North Africa, an

Works pretty well, except for the one country that is currently self sanctioning under the assumption that trade wars are easy to win.

They are slashing the forecast because global warming looks less bad if we call it 1.5 K instead of 2 K, but they actually did change the baseline instead of their predictions. At least I guess that is what whattsupwiththat tries to scandal

Academics really do not have significant insight into the history of their own field. The problem is really, that history makes for a nice introductory paragraph and by the time you can call yourself an academic you are very confident in yo

But the grey line assumes that we as a species act like responsible adults. There is something darkly comical about the IPCC emission scenarios.

Well U238 is still a heavy metal and as such pretty poisonous. (As is the rest in the kit.) So most likely the samples are encased in glass, however one should be pretty certain that that glass does not get damaged.

As another Arch user, you get a working quasi-Arch on your home theater system in something like half an hour. Arch is great if you want to do anything interesting, but for a PC that is just supposed to run youtube and mpv, it is not suppos

The paradoxes are because the theory is formulated in terms of complicated mathematical expressions that do not map neatly onto a naive understanding of macroscopic reality. The entire problem of learning QM is, that one has to learn not to

This is as far as I understand the first picture of a black hole shadow, that is the dark disc that indicates that there is actually light missing. Before that, there were astrophysical observations that strongly indicated that there is a b

Yes, depending on your favorite definition of "different model" there are models that can not be distinguished even in principle. Most famous example is the different interpretations of quantum mechanics. In my opinion the reasona

Thing is nuclear can not be only nuclear. Or actually it can, but then you should compare it to other science fiction tech like solar in orbit, because the kind of reactors that can be steered to demand has just not been designed yet.

Clearly the solution is not going back to a 3.5 mm audio jack, but to invent a new standard that everybody will support. We could alsa call it pulse jack and audio will be fixed forever.

No, outside of a laboratory everything influences such signals. First of all, changing medical practice changes how often and in which stages cancer is detected and treated. Dealing with that, you have then to deal with changing fashions (l
