People are generally living longer, so the cancer rates are going to increase. We deal with one thing and what kills people is whatever we haven't dealt with yet. Even if we developed a cure for all types of Cancer tomorrow, we're still going to have people dying from other illnesses. You should feel free to do what you can to minimize your own risk. Relates to your genetics, lifestyle and environment. Dig into the scientific literature and if nothing else schedule regular screenings. Don't fall for the assorted hype. It is human nature to latch on to the easy answer, when in reality the more difficult route will yield the best results.

Space can expand faster than light can travel. These forces are thought to propagate at the speed of light.

Looking at MIT's article(source) they seem more designed to slightly lower perceived temperature indoors(cooling in pulses), thereby reducing some of the cost of cooling the whole building. Makes more sense, definitely not an AC replacement like some of these sites are claiming. Peltiers do suck on efficiency. They can heat, they can cool, they can produce electricity; only thing they can't do is be efficient about it. :'( Maybe take several multiple smaller coolers and have them jointed together. Wouldn't look quite so blocky and could pass for trendy/fashionable. Otherwise, yeah, foot would definitely work better. People are already used to foot warmers, this would be a foot cooler. Preferably with a plug, more efficient and would keep people from expecting them to perform miracles.

Cancer isn't a single disease. Some types can be recognized and fought by the immune system, others not so much. Immune system can even end up helping some of them. Imagine playing against an opponent who has your entire playbook. There is hope. Either via advancing medical tech singling out features unique to cancer cell types and killing them or utilizing some of the methods employed other species. You can't prevent mutations, but you can minimize the danger they represent.

I had heard of something along those lines to improve exercise times. Was a different cooling mechanism but same basic concept. I can't recall reading about any follow-up, not sure if it panned out or not.

The Bluefin-21 has a GPS, fiber optic laser gyro inertial navigation system, Doppler velocity log, synthetic vision system and Ultra-Short Baseline acoustic positioning system. http://www.bluefinrobotics.com/products/bluefin-21/ http://defensesystems.com/articles/2014/04/14/navy-bluefin-auv-maylasia-flight-370.aspx I recall laser gyro's being the mainstay on the sub I was on. Bluefin's advert page highlights that as well.

It is well known that the "Asphyxiation Risk Excuse" is only accepted when temperatures reach below -300 F.

You would still be constrained by the laws of thermodynamics.

Kilograms is a measure of mass, not weight. The CERN FTL measurement ended up being revealed to be in error. The more accurate formula to calculate gravity being: F=(GMm)/r2 or the Gravitational constant, multiplied by your two masses, divided by the square of your radius. No mention of charges or Coulomb's constant. Even just using intuition, you can work from observations of the Moon's lower gravity and reason that the grade school value for gravitational acceleration, 9.8m/s2 must be a simplification. I'm sure there's more, but not really feeling the need to go through it all. If you want to actually learn something and not simply pontificate, then you need to sit down with good ol' Wikipedia for awhile. There are some deep connections out there to be found, but you are never going to find them if you don't even know the work that has already been done.

I've been trying to figure out how to respond. Interesting topic and it does involve one of my favorite games. Minecraft can definitely provide a decent challenge, especially the more interesting Superflat customizations. When the Mobs have been your only source of resources, you look at normal maps in a whole new light. There are pathfinding algorithms. What most of the AI's actions are based on. A route between their current state and their assigned goal. Not sure this exactly counts as part of game theory. The raw power needed to completely solve some of these games would be huge, but can find ideal paths through the problem space.

A couple different ways we can move atoms around. Problem is doing it in a controlled fashion. There's different 3D printing technologies coming online. Most are operating on the macroscopic level though. Cloning would be a vastly simpler way to make a whole body. Obvious ethical issues, but relatively easy for us to pull off. Possibly we could rig a direct biological connection or a machine-aided connection between the two and transfer consciousness that way. Questionable how much of "You" would actually transfer, but we could probably manage something. We have no evidence for any form of free energy(and quite a bit against). That last bit is probably not going to happen.

We do have the tech to combine parent's faces at least and determine a rough idea of what their offspring might look like. There are more responsive programs out. I'd hesitate on the intelligence part, but they can fool us monkeys pretty well. We evolved to read into things, even if said thing is totally inanimate we can mentally assign it human attributes. One concern is that parents might become overly attached. Could become a problem.

Could run a test with someone else moving different objects near your head, while you are blindfolded.

There's evidence due to the structure of the Universe that it expanded. Cosmic microwave background radiation is another good bit of evidence. Dark Energy is thought to be the present reason for its continued expansion. Dark matter is separate from Dark energy. It does have a gravitational effect, how we determined its existence in the first place. Recently we even have what are effectively images of it due to its attraction of gasses. You can search "dark matter web" if you want to take a look. I'm not sure what you mean by "blender". The accretion disk for Black Holes, are larger than those normally formed, but otherwise pretty standard. Black holes *may* represent a form of matter storage until a point in the future. You can term them as recycling in that sense.

You are messing up the basics, what point is there to reading any further?

We're a species resistant to change and all of our terms are basically arbitrary.

It has been pushed back due to the current state of affairs with Russia. Don't worry though, the American Military Junta will begin soon.

This thread has actually made my opinion more favorable towards Pussy Riot. I used to think their antics were over the top, but now they seem justified.

Most geothermal plants are in the range of 10-23%. It is only the best sites that are in the upper percentile range.

Still a good distance from the fault lines too. Much more concerned with depleted aquifers. I count myself lucky every day when I wake up and my bed hasn't fallen into some gaping maw of the Earth.

A wise man is he who builds his house upon the sand. Sink hole risk could be better, but very few earthquakes. Main issue with geothermal is that other types of plants offer higher thermal efficiencies. The temperatures we have access to are not that hot for all that the source is more or less free.

Do you mean weight or mass? Weight is a measurement of force, Mass is a quantity of matter. Mass is more accurate and you can do more with it. Based on where you are your weight can change, but your mass will remain the same. ie. F = (GMm)/r2

If that was a quote, make sure to mention the source. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_nitrogen_vehicle Most of the criticisms listed there are valid, but main issue are the losses that would be involved. You use electricity to liquify nitrogen, when you could have just left it as electricity and stored that instead. Each conversion step you suffer losses due to inefficiencies. There are also the safety issues as Hypervalent Iodine mentions. I'm honestly surprised we don't have more incidents involving refrigerants. Suffocation, freezing, and the cause just floats away.

The majority of our atmosphere is nitrogen(N2). It will go back to N2 readily, but only with difficulty from N2 to anything else.

My guess would be the European Crane Fly. Thinner, right time frame and environment for them.
