To do this i apparently need my insurance certificate and an MOT certificate. i've spent a good day rifling through the families accumulation of documents trying to find these bloody things and I don't even know what they actually look like.

swansont writes: The Ultimate Spy Plane
One nit:
Created as the ultimate spy plane, the SR-71, which first took to the air in December 1964, flew reconnaissance missions until 1990, capable of hurtling along at more than Mach 3, about 2,280 miles per hour—faster than a rifle bullet—at 85,000 feet, or 16 miles above the earth. It is the fastest jet-powered air… more» |
Communication Media
Cap'n Refsmmat writes: [Note: There's basically no point to this post. But hey, it's the Internet. That's allowed here.]
Media I can use to communicate with people I know in person:

Trouble with Physics runaway bestseller after Smolin's Unique Universe appears

give a rigorous proof
triclino, welcome to ScienceForums.
Your question sounds like it's for homework, but regardless of whether or not it is, we're not usually doing "rigorous proof" for other people. If you want others to show you how to approach it, then just read the posts above (because they did tell you) and...

Global warming
It was mostly from hearsay. I know it's not the most rigorous of sources, but from what I've heard, the ice age cycle is supposedly still ongoing. The figures I've seen for the occurrence of this future ice age ranges anywhere between the next 3000 to the next 8000 years....
