  1. Sigh... My cheating cousin - see above - just sent me email with the following closing sentence:
  2. I don't like it either, but apparently there is no rule against it. OTOH, it is easy to ignore.
  3. "Yug" is a measure of time, 4,320,000 years (12,000 divine years). "Sahastra" is a number, 1000. "Jojan" is a measure of distance, from 4 to 10 miles. Multiplying them does not make a distance, of course. Here is one of their propaganda articles: What is the meaning of line "Yug Shahstra Yojan par Bhanu" which is taken from Hanuman Chalisa? (tutorialspoint.com). Their arbitrary "calculation" goes like this:
  4. ... albeit only logarithmically.
  5. Meanwhile in Lac Bay, Bonaire:
  6. Because space and time rotate into each other without stretching. For c not to be invariant, they would need to rotate AND stretch.

  8. I don't understand the new problem statement, specifically, the least value of n for a certain i, where i=1,2,3,...n.
  9. Can you solve it for line segments instead of circles? I.e., What is the least number of smaller segments that can be fitted inside a mother segment under the following conditions: 1. The smaller segments cannot intersect or be contained inside any other segment besides the mother segment. 2. The lengths of the smaller segments must be N (N<1) times any existing segment inside the mother segment. 3. The system must contain the maximum number of segments of the same length as possible.
  10. Being inspired by the great success of my previous textbook giveaway posting, I've decided to post another: General Relativity: Wald, Robert M.: 9780226870335: Amazon.com: Books For the cost of shipping only.
  11. My 5 cents. This recent article seems to be on the topic: The Elite College Students Who Can’t Read Books - The Atlantic
  12. You are talking about a one-way trip, right? One just flies away and gone.
  13. I'd like to find a new home for this book. Just pay a shipping cost. Amazon.com: Student Friendly Quantum Field Theory: Volume 1: Basic Principles and Quantum Electrodynamics: 9780984513956: Klauber, Robert D.: Books
  14. The source gives the following "warning" before one reads the details: Pay attention to the last sentence.
  15. This is encouraging. I will post a textbook for giveaway in the Scientific Education forum and see what happens. Unfortunately, shipping costs from here are not cheap.
  16. I think so as well but would like to hear from the G&MO to be sure. No worries. None of these hurricanes is/was anywhere close to us. No effect on us at all.
  17. I have some heavy weight textbooks that I don't need any more and would be glad to give them away for a cost of shipping. Is it OK to post such information on SFn? If so, where?
  18. ... and then, to test this restriction, one would have to compare events between IFRs. But the hypothesis
  19. IIUC, this hypothesis is untestable.
  20. Yes, they are different. Degeneracy and non-degeneracy refer to how many codons, one or more, code for 1 amino acid. OTOH, ambiguity and unambiguity refer to how many amino acids, one or more, 1 codon codes for.
