If I'm not breaking the law, I don't want profiling. The state does not have an inalienable right to know things about its citizens that are not a threat to society.

You need to fix it if you want to go to that level, and understand it. I'm not very competent myself in maths but it seems clear to me, that you expect people who are competent to verbalise everything when, in fact, these concepts are essentially purely mathematical.

What?! Lowry's matchstick men pictures, not masterpieces?! Besides, that's not the essence of what he meant.

Accounting for the oblate shape and gravitational acceleration at the equator and poles, the difference is is 0.5%.

Nah... string theory will be pimped and modded until it fits; square pegs will go into round holes.

The only practical way, I can see, is to randomly codify with a matching key for interpretation. I think it's called a 'one-time encryption'.

The problem with a consistent language, although perhaps very obscure, is that it's symbology is consistent and a pattern will eventually reveal itself, with scrutiny. A letter or number is assigned a sound or meaning. You have to dissociate this consistent connection between certain values and their equivalent interpretation,.into a language/code someone else can't understand. The associations must, therefore, necessarily be randomly generated with each message, so a key has to be produced just for that message. I think that's how encryption works.

You have to be certain you've got all the root though, which can be quite a task.

Mike, how many times have you brought this subject up?

"Let them eat cake" - M. Antoinette. You think we are acting like the bourgoisie?

You don't get drunk on dandelions.

I thought they were a diuretic.

You could use a gas burner as well but dandelions are barstewards.

Yes.

She's playing Devll's Advocate. It's too easy to play the moral card. There are also prices to be paid for being saintly.

In any thought experiment like this I think one should assume that all clocks are synchronised in the same inertial frame prior to the experiment, or else it would be pointless.

I thought that was dark energy?

'Curvature of spacetime' is really the geometric representation of the energy-density distribution of gravity around and between massive bodies.

The Strange Theory of Light and Matter by Richard Feynman is good... and quite low cost. He has an accessible style. http://www.amazon.co.uk/QED-Strange-Theory-Penguin-Science-x/dp/0140125051

Well, it seems that grapes sweeten as they ripen on the vine but a bunch can receive uneven exposure to sunlight over its surface, so you can get variations in skin texture and sweetness/sourness together at any particular point in time on a bunch. It's not something I've noticed before. http://homeguides.sfgate.com/grapes-less-sour-ripen-72841.html

Yes,I think it's a bit more visual mentally than most electronic music which is mostly dance orientated, invoking visceral feelings more than anything. Will do.

No probs. I think one cannot add anything new to modern physics without first understanding, very well, the mechanics of what is already known. I think one should realise that Einstein's models are not wrong but incomplete because they can't describe things at nanoscale... it falls apart. Any new theory must encompass his theories because they are not wrong, within their domain of validity. One cannot know where things are going until they know where they have been. Thinking up some new paradigm pulled out of the blue, without reference to past models, is pie in the sky.

That was Minkowski. Einstein curved Minkowski spacetime as a description of gravity. He also, basically, said that space and time are plastic and only light speed is fixed.

No.It's the first time I've heard of it. I shall when I'm in chill mode because it seems to suit that state of mind... I am reminded of artists I used to listen to, in that piece, like Enya and Massive Attack.
