http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/september-2015/where-the-higgs-belongs The interesting thing here is that a higgs force is predicted but nit described, it coukd be dark gravity, it might be the force acting on the Cannae drive, not known.

can we nuke the moon for the conspiracy theorist? We could have then walk off a football field sized picture of niel armstrong. We could paint part of the moon to look like swiss cheese, or a big pizza pie. We could make a giant smiley face on the moon. We could test the effects of low gravity on human physiology. we could test the effect of same on plant growth. We could test how much thickness of moon dust is required to attenuate 3 types of damaging radiation. We could test equipment for digging into the moons surface, e.g. bores, wells and mine shafts. We could see if the level of H20 increases with depth of the surface. We could test equipment for leveling the surface or test materials for making a runway or permanent landing site. We could plan for a science station. We could place different telescopes for automatic survey of NEO. We could plan for a Keck like observatory.

oh my, hmmm, miley twerking 1 minute loop forever on all media. broadcast.

Dont jump to conclusions, under the right circumstances the powers that be will often tell a willing taker to make it disappear. For example when you have a 1000/day contractor renovating space in the AM and you have a lab full of equipment in the previou PM. You would be surprised at the value of things I have pulled out of recycling. alibaba.com is the vendor of choice, lots of third world countries have hungry scientist willing to buy. - - - Updated - - - Dont jump to conclusions, under the right circumstances the powers that be will often tell a willing taker to make it disappear.

Not at all, I worked hard to power and man those labs, i exoect to get some science out of it.

I've had hard landings on the Mun that destroyed it, and if course the terrain falls through KSC.

No kidding ........this more than anything has fueled conspiracy theories.

Its an test cell for an infrared spectrometer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_spectroscopy#Absorption_bands Most organic compunds including many polymers do not absorb in the vusible or near UV range, exceptions are aromatically stabilized, heterocyclic compounds and aducts of metals and organic compounds. There is often absorption below 215 nm that is non informative. The best spectral range is in the IR part of the spectrum, essentially wobble spectrum. Carbon-oxygen bonds and C-n bonds of various types absorb in this range. The KBr is transparent in this range. Crush your sample in a KBr powder and compress it into a disk which can be read between KBr disk. Process has been replaced by FITR, but dried solid translucent samples must stll be used. Opacity is a problem but in the near IR, because light scattering is the inverse forth power of the wavelength. Samples have to be dried, because the IR spectrum of water can interfere with the identification of hydroxyl groups.

Right, my USB3 Wifi is plugged into a USB2 port, the computer will not boot, it hangs during the USB boot seek after the memory test. As for the drive, you can unplug the drive and try to boot from a bootable USB drive like Mubuntu. Being the nurse of about 15 machines under my control I can rank the boot fault issues 1. Power supplies about 8 cases over thirty or so builds, 6 cases of failure (vacuum cleaner, blown caps, storm or surge related faults , two unknowns)- all over 4 years of age, 2 cases of inadequacy 2. CPU failure - almost all failure to boot, period. 6 of 8 were AMD- most of the K6-2 variety, 2 of 8 were Intel. Both were pre-Prescott or Prescott. With CPU throttling dead CPUs should not occur unless you are doing math intensive or gaming full time. Never had a failure that was cleanly fan related, although suspect a couple of times. It one thing I always check though because fan failures can be expensive, give a little tug on the fan to make sure it is connected, The Intel fan mounts on newer models are screwball and can loosen if the locks are not turned properly. If I have a really higher performance system, I generall buy a new fan and keep the OEM fan as a backup. 3. Drive failure - many years ago - 4 all IDE or older, I can also add 2 more easy repairs due to drive cable failure or failure to seat. Never had a failure of a drive built after 2000. Never had any cable problems with serial cables. 4. Battery failure - 3 all over the age of 7 years, mostly benign, most mobos will boot to bios fine with a dead battery, but you might have to change the bios settings, everytime to get to the OS. 5. Memory faults - 2, 1 was due to unmatched memory type (2 manfs of same spec were incompatible for unknown reason), the other fault was memory just plain old. 6. Mobo - failure, 1 dead fault, 1 hung up after posting video bios. Old motherboards >10 years do not like to be tampered with. Another fault was due to improper seating of Mobo because of a bent pin-out, removed pin-out and problem resolved. 7. USB incompatibility - 1 8. Mobo vid failed, so added video card and repaired

Not the Manf unit, the entire station segment.

The lactic acid levels are low enough now, sooo H = p²/2m + kx²/2 I don't mean too be nit-pickey but having to referee a particularly large share of pchem and predictive algorhythm manuscripts I have become very sensitive to defining variables in complex equations. So we have to stop and make sure everyone can understand p = momentum m = mass k = ? x = ? some equivilant of hv? i = (-1)^1/2 =Ñ› = reduced plancks constant È = ? note you can provide a link to any page that defines these. Also quick note one of the derivations below apoears to be in error and b is not defined. - - - Updated - - - It was actually A PBS Nova documentary that made the claim i made that the energy transfer is immediate and coupled to virtual pairs. i don't neccesarily believe them, but ...........

According to the Neonatal Ape Theory we are all pedantic.

Node internode. If you are on earth your resources are close to each other. In space resources are too diffuse to be useful except for EM. and resources are not evenly distributed, this causes a neccesary shift in stategy to travel from node to node, and curvature of space time is the problem. If you travel to any node, then you have to aplly more energy were spacetime is curved, so given isotrophic resources a rational non-atmosphere limited sentient choses nodes with least curvature of space time allowing it to propogate to the next node with out wastin energy in internodal space. Once all these are occupied locally then it would expand to all the higer gravity objects. But robots have the same problem as humans in interstellar space, with low energy density, how does a rbot wake itself up when it reaches the next node in say 40,000 years. The best sci-fibequivilents is SG-U, when they arrive at their gate ship, its basically beat all to hell with nothing to repair it.

Electromagnetic radiation covers all radiation form long wave radio waves to ultragamma radiation. The light spectrum is IIRC the spectrum from 350nm to 550nm where as radiowaves are in the millimeter to meter range. lets see c/100,000,000 = 3 which is fm. So the question is accurate in the way they are using it light and radiowaves are variants of electromagnetic radiation

your not using the right test, you can use FET but one set is the expected, so you have to inflate the weight of the ratio. http://www.langsrud.com/fisher.htm, 30000:90000, 12:0 .......2-Tail : p-value = 5.972096700429192e-8 theoretically if we increase the 3:9 weight to huge number FET will give best answer, but not every question had four possibilities The chi-square is the accepted test. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_distribution ----------------------- The reason your test and my test are similar is that they have the same underlying principle, people generally do not use the exact test in this way, but it turns out its more accurate than the chi-square because chi-square does not work well when one of the test values is below 5. In this case its not to bad because the observed minus expected is nine. The reason why FET is not used because increasing the size of any one variable numerically greatly increases the computer processing power used to compute the value, you will reach the processing limit, even with log transformations.

Adding to the discussion http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/34243898/five-questions-we-should-ask-ourselves-before-ai-answers-them-for-us

Centrifugal force, take a donut and spin it on its axis and you have gravity. the reason i place the link here is that this technique offers a way to reduce the weight and heat of electronics, not neccesarily build them in space, but on other planets the available semimetals may also differ and this allows for options of metals that might be used to make electronics in space. One example is that we don't send people to build our colonies, but robots, which then have to build the infrastrucutre for people that arrive later, they would need to build based on the resources they could gather, thus they need options.

batteries typically last 7 to 10 years in my experience. If he seldomly uses his computer it might last 5, his board is not that old. The could be a loose screw lying on the board. My bets are still on the power supply, his symptoms sound almost exactly like the problem i was having a while backnafter i added a new vid card, it was a cheap-.... .......... power supply.

odds are very very low, in the 10^-8 to -9 range (12-3)=9, 9^2=81, 81/3=27, 81/9=9, 27+9=36 Px2 = CHIDIST(36,1) = 0.000000009 Thus using either fisher exact test 3000,9000,12,0 of chi-square analysis the value is that rougly 100 million monkeys answered all 12 questions 1 would get it right. A monkey can get it right, but we would never expect a monkey to get it right. I we want to assure that a monkey never gets it right we would have to increase the number of questions.

Thats because most societies are not singularly focused on exploiting technology to the detriment of everything else. An example instead of building a road, you build robots that mill agreagate, that separate oil into lights and tars, or that crush limestone and cook it to form lime, you build robots to build the road and so forth, all construction and engineers are devoted to making the machines to do the work that humans do, all others would be making machines or in support. Even food retail and production, child rearing, etc.

Yeah, but people of the 50-70 bracket did better on the test. Sure i could have gueesed Salk by eliminating the others, but i didn't have to resort to logic or reasoning, just relied on raw memory. Contrast that to the tide question. What are the forcing tides 1. Gravity moon earth 2. Fluidity of water at earth surface temperatures 3. The timing of tides is dependent on the rotation of the earth 4. The amplitude is dependent on the earth moon distance which is indirectly dependent on the earths rotation and tide 5. The sun also tides but the gravitational attraction is much less So now we have concepts, so what is the primary, in this we consider the target, earths large oceans. This leaves 1 and 3, one determines the amplitude and the other is timing. just about any rotation will cause tides, even if the earth did not rotate, the moons cuurent orbit wiill cause tides, so weighing the two it leaves moon's gravity as what the questions intent was trying to extract.
