I’ve been wondering about science and scientific progression in the Star Wars universe. Even though people have pointed out that Star Wars is science fantasy and doesn’t care about science- that really isn’t true. Scientists are mentioned all the time in Star Wars. The society runs on science just like ours does. The stories were are shown are those of a religious order so science obviously takes a backseat but even the Jedi use technology. Lightsabers aren’t made out of wood! I just wonder what could be the next thing in science that scientists in Star Wars can pursue. They had FTL for millennia. You would logically think that whatever sci fi stuff you isn’t exist is fai…

I'm new to dis okay? Well, I like the youtube channel itsfunneh. I have dark blonde hair and hazel / brown eyes. I can't tell which one.😁 I'm 10 years old and I like cats. I have a brother and sister who are both younger than me. They both have blue eyes. I'm different than my siblings because of my eye colour. I luv cat's so much guy's.

Apparently I am not holding my mouth right it’s not a big deal but first it leaned Left then it leaned right. should i try again with the original being completely upside down? Is there a trick to it? Apparently changing the original orientation just reverses everything left right?

I have ordered a yet-to-arrive No.4 scalpel handle and some blades, which have arrived, and turn out to be No.3. Will they fit?

Hi there, Recursion - What would be the complement of it? 1. Recursion sounds a little bit scary to me. Wouldn't it be nicer Embedding instead? 2. Russian doll matryoshka /matr- - mother/ 3. Coming To America..."Where's the Spoon"...Eddie Murphy as Saul the Jewish Guy

... If I were you I would watch up all of Adam Curtis's documentaries. All of them. It is exactly one generation between him and me. You don't have to believe him(it is BBC after all). You may probably take it as an information about his opinion. He is a clever man. I love him.

Hi guys, I hate to make this post. Recursion/Embedding/ - What would be the complement of it? /"in one aspect"/ - Of course Iteration. https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=iteration https://www.etymonline.com/word/yon Embedding - What would be the complement of it? - Definition. "Connection/Space is not a thing to/for the things it connects/contains." /ZFC Prevents Russell's Paradox BE/HAVE are too important and too connected.

Hi there, 1. p = m.v (right side * t/t) p = F.t /I was astonished then in school. I still am. This makes me smile. Pure magic./ A = F.L (both sides * 1/t) /A - work, L - distance/ E = F. v 2. It's hard to figure out who's wrong, who's right but it's always obvious who's in charge. Murphy's law

I've been using Google maps to route and measure my course. I've been doing a two mile lap with my best time as 13 minutes 30 seconds. Recently I did a one mile course, jogging it in 5:20, and now I just jogged it twice in 12:50. Obviously Google maps isn't accurate. A cost effective approach might be to buy a 1-mile length wire, but the length might not be precise and it would probably get dragged off the sidewalk as I go around. Any other ideas? Thanks!

Would you care to share your story on how you came to be where you are today? What is the biggest influenced outside of academics that led you to the field you work in? What is the most challenging situation you have encountered in your lifetime? What is the most valuable thing you have learned from your experiences? What advice would you tell a younger version of yourself? Is there anything left you wish to accomplish? I understand you are very busy so I want to thank you for the privilege of your time.

What do you think. Anybody thinking of buying one? (From wiki) Tesla Cybertruck is an all-electric battery-powered light commercial vehicle in development by Tesla, Inc. Three models have been announced, with range estimates of 250–500 miles (400–800 km) and an estimated 0–60 mph time of 6.5–2.9 seconds, depending on the model.[9] I really like it, it's different. I love trucks, especially the Hilux, but I've got to say, if I had the money to buy one of them I'd definitely pick the Tesla. There's something about this that makes me want one. At least it's different. I'm not sure if it's futuristic or retro though, a bit of both really I think. Having s…

Difficult one, but someone might know: At what moment in history are magnitudes of units of electric field (volts per meter) and of magnetic field (tesla) adjusted just right so that we don't need ugly constants in laws like Lorentz law or Faradays law of induction? Was this also the case in dark times before SI units?

What are some examples of scientists who behaved in ways that were unusual or autistic or eccentric. I'm especially interested in obsessive behavior, but anything unusual.

Ok guys here it is, I know this is probably the wrong forum, I am so bad at choosing that, be that as it may, What I want to discuss here is not if the following sighting was real or not. This happened in 1952 and the subsequent years have resulted in at least some disagreement on the details. However, was the eyewitness and other evidence correctly handled or was it as i assert mishandled for whatever reason. If you comment one way or another please let us know why you think so. The Air force simply not knowing what the hell was happening is probably enough for them to have dropped the ball on this but here we go. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1952_Washington…

Ok so I have been reaaaaaaly reluctant to share an idea that I came up with a while back and have been working on for a long time and I am not sure what to do with it. I can continue keeping it to myself, working on it in secret. Trying to improve it so that one day it will be ready for others. Or I can share it now and gain partial notoriety from it, however this is really unlikely due to it being so weird of an idea. However I do not want to be what causes harm to others if it turns out that it is a "good idea." I can go without the notoriety, however my ego will have a problem with it, however my biggest concern is how it might affect others along with how it may …

This looks so good! I am currently building a grill, this looks like a good debu cook!

Any sports fans out there? Anyone think there are some dumb sports out there? As a sports fan I start following NFL football about mid-season. I make a list of the few teams with the best records, and I follow them the remainder of the season. There are other sports I like, such as NBA basketball, soccer, track and field, surfing, etc. There are some sports I don't understand, and tend to think they are dumb, such as WWE (Pro Wrestling), boxing, mixed martial arts (where they are allowed to really beat and kick each other), auto racing (except for drag racing). There are a few sports I don't like and don't think they are dumb, they are just boring, s…

I'm sorry for English is not my native language. Me and my friend we debating about how to survive a 1,000 feet free fall down. My friend who absolute sure that it is 100% fatal with that height. But nothing can be certain, me I see it is possible to survived. There stories where you survived high fall if you landed on soft snow, big trees, woods, sand, mud, etc.. Or anything along the way that can break down your fall instead of went straight down the bottom with nothing stopping you along the way. Me and my friend use this bridge to debate. Free fall down in the middle of that bridge will take you down 1,000 feet clearance below. Friend said it a gua…

In medieval times, those lords/nobles building their expensive castles using many workers during extended years... Where did they keep their coin? currency to pay salaries ? How were their funds originated and replenished, likely ? Inherited, taxing neighborhoods, what sorts of big successful businesses, commerce, were conducted from those often remote castles... ?

Been working on this Nativity scene for my wife project started before last Christmas. Trying to complete it for this year's Xmas lol. Made the dowelling myself using a 1/2 inch round edge router on all 4 sides saved me 250.00 in material. Using strictly cedar for the wood portions then thinking about how to simulate the mud packing. Thinking about a grey clay pack between the logs.

Just read this on quora, Can someone tell me if it's true, seems abit far fetched to me. Is 1100 dB really that loud? Ok, found this on the same site. But can sound really create a black hole? Or is it just 'in theory' , i.e. On paper yes, but not in real life.

I mean apart from the obvious that they'll select some research topic and learn about that.

So our group advisor had to move our equipment from one lab to another since the department was moving to another building. Our advisor and us pitched in using uhaul to bring it where it was needed. I MAY choose academia in the future and personally, I would not want my students to have to handle the move themselves. Is there any alternative way to handle it? Is there a good reason to do it the way formerly described, anyway?

I ordered some bait from a company and they are charging vat on the postage. Is this allowed since vat is already paid on the stamp thst they use?
