  1. Install solar water heaters? Solar panels are inefficient if all you want is hot water. You lose energy by making electricity and then using that electricity to heat up water. Sunlight is quite capable of heating up water all on its own. Main issue with the towers would be that most of the available locations would decrease the amount of sunlight falling on the solar panel. Almost everywhere but the very top would see power intake cut by at least half. Flat stretches of land or roofs would tend to be better options.
  2. There are such things as synthetic seeds. Not entirely from scratch though. Still require cells(tissue cultures) to make anything happen.
  3. Provide answers to related questions on an online forum? Games can also work depending on the knowledge. Often is as good for your score, as it is for your memory.
  4. You mean the planet Earth? There are relative degrees of clean, but you won't find "completely unpolluted" anywhere. Good thing too, as certain heavy metals are critical for human life.
  5. Pikinni Atoll would be pretty decent. Has never had any heavy industry and maintains tropical weather all year round.
  6. yeah, pretty much the thread of my own thoughts. Makes me feel like our reality is held together by spit and bailing wire.
  7. Well, I mean impossible in terms of measuring zero. Frustratingly difficult subject to discuss. Extrapolating seems reasonable to say that could the photon have a perspective, that perspective would be that it took no time to travel no distance. Though you can't have such a perspective as the nature of that perspective forbids having it.
  8. I would jump all over someone if they insulted you. You yourself though made a statement insulting yourself. Others are allowed to reference that statement. The one person you cannot argue with is yourself. There is worse later on, but this example should suffice. My observation is that you have self esteem issues. I don't know why, on most days you do fine. You even managed to come across something most of us didn't know before this thread. Have some pride and realize the only one truly against your self-happiness is yourself.
  9. If I say, "Endy0816 is stupid." I would be breaking the rules. If I state "Endy0816 admitted to being ignorant". And Endy0816 did in fact make a statement to that effect; then it is a statement of fact. Statements of fact are allowed here. Your case is an example of the second. Now, I'm just going to ask that the thread be locked for everyone's sakes. The question was answered and answered well, so nothing more can be gained here.
  10. Is it a case of trying to relate to a situation that is impossible to relate to? Been bothering me off and on.
  11. Don't over dramatize the situation. Many have made similar statements over the years. They are gone and the forum keeps going. Work on your behavior(which relative to many others is not even particularly bad). You are always free to leave, that is the very definition of freedom. If you choose not to then you willingly agreeing to accept community standards(codified by the rules). Now the thread probably should be closed as your original question has been answered. As the answer was one of the more interesting results of a speculation thread I'd even consider it a reasonably accurate speculation(a rarity here).
  12. Numerology is false pattern recognition and is a plague on good logical reasoning. Many otherwise great minds have ended up wasted on it. The majority of others here are recognizing it as such and trying to show you the error in your thought process.
  13. Yeah, garbage in, garbage out still applies. Mostly just beneficial in terms of speed and allowing Google parse your meaning for you. Can do: "elementary charge * e *1e5=" and Google can correctly parse it.
  14. If you want to save some time you can type calculations into the Google search bar as well. It can also convert many constants into their numerical values. ie. Planck Constant * speed of light = h*c =
  15. How much realistic support do they have in terms of governments giving up autonomy?
  16. I'm leaning towards a Big bang - Big Rip - Big Bang progression at the moment. Like a soap bubble that forms, expands and pops, but as it pops sets the conditions for more soap bubbles to form. Avoids the cross Universe interaction issue. Any distance to anything is infinite in the "above" Universe but at the same time in some sense it still exists(such as one can call that state existence). Kind of like the Universe as a Phoenix view, but without the need for a Universe Recycling Program.
  17. Outflanking in different forms perhaps. I probably need to go and reread it again myself. I was more enamored of The Prince at that age. I ended up reading Art of War less as a strategy guide and more as a historical account. If you must attack a walled city, remember a large wooden horse goes a long way. ~ Lesser known quote of Sun Tzu
  18. Little did you know that even as we speak Google is gearing up to "forget" every page that includes words not written in proper American English.
  19. I generally only give neg reps for attacks on others or for displaying willful ignorance. They need some kind of feedback so they can hopefully realize their behavior is a problem, but I certainly don't feel that getting down into their mud pit is always a good use of my time. Obviously if their behavior is extreme enough Moderators step in, but IMO that doesn't tend to have the same impact as peer pressure. Which is what ended up happening with the post Ophiolite mentioned. Note it wasn't me, though I've certainly canceled out what I've felt was undeserved neg reputation in the past.
  20. And = A.B Or = A+B Not = / or a line above http://www.dragonwins.com/domains/getteched/binary/BooleanLogic.htm I read your example as ((Not A) And B). You may want to check with someone local on that one though. Not 100% sure if they meant to negate just the 'A' or the '(A And B)' portion. lot of logic symbols, very little standardization.
  21. "help me or guide me" 0 = false, 1= true help me guide me result 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 So if someone helps you or guides you, you see a result. Now these Or's and And's also equate to logic gates. So logic.ly if there were a logic simulator you could use the appropriate combination of gates and find your answer that way as well.
  22. Minor point but don't feel you have to restrict yourself to named encoding schemes. Sometimes there are good reasons to, but other times you can make up your own to fit the circumstances.
  23. The question is really asking you to find the pattern. If I said C = 44, D = 45, E = 46... What is A? It is a similar set up done in binary. You just need to count up to K and count down to A, then convert it into hexadecimal. A converter can be useful here: http://www.mathsisfun.com/binary-decimal-hexadecimal-converter.html
  24. There can be gravity without pressure. Objects in a vacuum still fall. What is the relationship of a black hole to a cyclone? They don't look anything alike...
