The amount of radiation from regular flying probably has no risk as well. Aircrew have higher risk for certain types of cancers, but it's not clear if radiation plays a role in that. And of course they spend way more time on air than a

Do integers exist? Do sequences of integers exist? If they do, so do the real numbers. This is because any positive real number has a decimal expansion which determines it. For example pi = 3.1415926535... or 1/3 = 0.3333333...

At least for me, doing examples and computations is the best way to learn math, and also very important in research. Often an opaque general statement becomes clear after doing a few small examples. In linear algebra, I personally find some

Your guess is as good as mine. My guess is that all intelligent life in the universe would be "soooo unique", not just the one on Earth. So it would be very improbable any life form would be similar to that on Earth. However, it c
