Need help with some calculations on amounts.
Here's the abstract and the full paper is in the link below:

Total length of blood vessels in human body- thousands of miles?
60,000, it seems so with 80% of that capillaries. I just read a heart can move 3+ supertankers worth of blood in a lifetime: a million barrels.... and we are trying to make it do more!

Let's have them circulating again.... and start all over again, until it's forgotten again and...

Who are we to say what should amaze us as individuals.... very narrow-minded views, I must say. .

I don't think it would become reality. We want to be friends with you, not sleep with you. :D- The UK as an American State or States
Seen no news or suggestion of it here in the UK news sites or gossip.- What is this used for?
Could it be some sort of reference target.- Making jelly (that's jello in USA I believe)
LOL!- What taxes a billionaire?
Bezos has laid down the gauntlet... He's just a prominent example and very clear in what he thinks and is probably representative of companies of that size. Basically, that is what the revenue authorities are up against.- Making jelly (that's jello in USA I believe)
You could sue them for not containing "halved-cherries" (pl.)- What taxes a billionaire?
I thought I'd not sent this post and deleted it. Wasn't sure if it contributed anything meaningful... but anyway. It does not make logical sense that shareholder-run businesses will have much sense of fairness... after all, they are only there at the top because the shareholders see competitive returns on their investment. Sole owner-businesses are more likely to be more principled because they hold all the reins and can unilaterally make altruistic decisions. That can go the other way, of course, with a business run by a tyrant, but there's no chance witrh disconnected, self-interested shareholders staring at a computer screen, looking at bottom lines. This lays it out bare, the attitude, I think. I'm sure he's not unique amongst the uber-wealthy here: He's basically saying govts have got to beat him at his game.- What taxes a billionaire?
Trickle down /trickle up= win-win for the wealthy. Trickle down is BS. I like the idea that anybody earning 10 digits is taxed to a point below, so that 10-digit billionaires can't exist. Not very realizable in the US though.- Making jelly (that's jello in USA I believe)
I'm like that with vodka, so Everclear would probably be worse.- Mysterious Havana Syndrome
This Havana syndrome anomaly has come up again in India. Any scientist here have any hunches what spectrum might be being used? Officer accompanying CIA chief develops ‘Havana’ symptoms -AP Could sub-sonic be beamed sufficiently narrowly to pick out a narrow area in the direction of someone?- Curvature in space-time is shown as a "fabric"
Do you really need to know stress energy tensors before you can visualize curved spacetime properly?- Show me the evidence that inbreeding between species is wrong?
This seems an interesting paper on consanguinuity and distribution: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3419292/- Suicide Prevention
If one becomes inexplicably depressed , with no known current cognitive/emotional issues, either internal or external, that, would imo, probably point to a persistent endogenous or organic cause. I'm a 40 year+ on/off chronic depressive, and can experience it spontaneously, even when my life seems to be going well and basically happy in myself. Being acutely depressed over one-off life issues, such as job loss and bereavement are responses to known events... and natural. The ability to distinguish between endogenous and reactive states is likely down to assessing behaviour patterns and life events timeline. There is everything in between, of course.- Anti-abortion law in the USA
It's almost as if "It's not in the rules it's allowed". That's a path to more criminality and disorder. We generally act in the spirit of our laws, which are not necessarily specific, and the GOP seems to be mining into that type of subversive abuse of principles society stands on to operate with some degree of amicable consensus.- Anti-abortion law in the USA
Just thought I'd add that I think current methods of the GOP regarding the OP are beyond the pale.- Could the real size of the universe be infinite?
Ironically, Airbrush's flight of fancy will then appear to be true to a future observer with no prior knowledge of the earlier state.- Synchrotron Wavelength
I would have thought you'd enjoy knowledgeable feedback.- Anti-abortion law in the USA
... for once! :p- Is Gravity a Force?
Very good. Pat on the head, Sir! Your post heads in the direction of how my own sense of science has been emerging. It has been regularly reiterated by swansont over the years that physics is about behaviour, so we need to get rid of these 'thingies'.- Nothing can come from nothing so something always existed!
My undersrtanding is that if a particle is subquantum, it's 'nothing' in the sense that it can't interact with quantm-level particles of the Standard Model. They are nothing because, ordinarily, their behaviour has no quantum level consequences. - The UK as an American State or States
