  1. I think that 28 is such a number. Do you agree? I also think that it is the smallest such number. Do you agree with this?
  2. Isn't there one "s" misplaced?
  3. We don't know this without knowing how many fraudulent papers have passed through it.
  4. In the first part of this lecture Alan Guth explains problems with applying Newton's law of gravity, including the shell theorem, to an infinite distribution of mass. Lecture 6: The Dynamics of Homogeneous Expansion, Part II | The Early Universe | Physics | MIT OpenCourseWare In particular, the gravity in this case is not necessarily zero.
  5. Now, I have no idea what the "raw" freedom means. My best guess is that the "raw" freedom is death, i.e., freedom from absolutely everything.
  6. It seems that the problem is not with the concept of freedom, as there are many different freedoms and personal values attached to them. The problem is rather the attribute, "real."
  7. Dutch citizens would be required to show that, but I have dual citizenship and would enter the US with the US passport. Then, I guess, it shouldn't be a problem.
  8. Hi. It was almost a year ago, but I think I owe you the result of this test. And the answer is,
  9. No, it does not. The story in Hebrew does not say "each kind of animal". It says, "every living", "וּמִכָּל הָחַי". Evidently, this phrase became "animal" somewhere during translations (to Greek? to Latin? to English?)

    Do they have zoning rules?
  11. It is ridiculous to refute this story using laws of nature. This event was by definition not natural. P.S. I am an atheist.
  12. When I lived in Israel in the mid-eighties and inflation was above 400%, there was a joke that it is cheaper to ride a taxi then a bus, because in the bus you pay before the ride while in the taxi you pay after.
  13. As the Earth was considered a flat disk, it was obvious where the water went after flooding. Moreover, it is possible to estimate the size of the disk based on the time it took the water to subside.
  14. My starting equation is \(\frac b 2 - \frac {\sin b \sin c} {2 \sin d} = \frac e 2 - \frac {\sin e} 2\) where \(b=2a\) \(2c=\pi - (\frac {\pi} 2 + a)\) \(d = \pi - b - c\) \(e = \frac {\pi} 2 - a\) I don't know if it's the same as yours.
  15. I don't think your equation is correct.

    Bonaire has Carnival, too. The nursing home has its own parade.

    Please, stop. These were not my questions. I want to continue using my Skype number the way it used to be under Skype, but not under Skype now. That's all. I think I know the answer now. Consider this thread closed.

    My request was not about the procedure, but about recommended or not recommended providers.

    Thank you.

    Do UK members have knowledge / opinion about UK provider Phonely?

    Microsoft will kill Skype in a couple of months. I have a Skype number, which is a normal US phone number for people calling me, and I don't want to lose it. So, I need to port it to somebody else. One candidate is RingCentral. I've checked with them, and they confirmed that my number can be ported to their system. Google Voice, OTOH, accepts only cell numbers. Any recommendations before I make a move? Thank you.
