By these metrics, I never indulge in escapist entertainment. That can't be right; either I'm incredibly wise, or else the description is incomplete.

A simpler explanation is that the Higgs boson doesn't actually exist. Might want to check that one out before positing chronological paradoxes. This would be a great article for April 1st. Conservation of energy also seems to operate in sur

Actually, I was trying to direct you away from the sensationalist title, but hey, maybe next year.

"When the debasement rate is 10% and interest rates are 7%, the negative debasement-adjusted interest rate is a debt factory. It is easy for borrowers to make decisions that assume these rates will continue. If they end, the typical result

They're in-game inspired diagrams. The key is in the paragraph above the start of the 'Unclocked Logic' section. A →o * o→M O o * o B The mechanical power goes in the first →, and the [M O] part is the output. A and B ar

Ask for a thermos instead of a Dewar Flask. They're the exact same technology, but the term 'Dewar Flask' implies a much higher grade. Remember not to seal the thing airtight unless you're trying to build a bomb.

(2) Is most certainly true. If A == B, then B just is A, we're saying A == A. A possible world where B != A is a world where A != A. You seem to believe that A != B even in our world. (1) is the essence of the physicalist claim. You can cer

While the walking distance is not optimal, there is an upside. The ice cream vendors will be driven to differentiate their ice cream lines, and the beach dwellers will be able to comparison shop without walking halfway across the beach.

"But for a few quirks of fate - international depressions and world wars - it would probably be the main power source for getting us around." No. The containment requirements for steam, plus recycling the water, vastly outweigh the same for

If the reason wasn't technical, what was the reason? The first thing that springs to my mind is that Google calculator is free, and more precision isn't.

There is indeed enough variation. I unfortunately can't find the link, but they went further and had people imagine something like the letter 'n,' and of the whopping eight people they tested, one came out completely garbled, even after tra

So it's true. It's common knowledge, among people who look into it, that universities are utterly perverse and quite doomed.

"Roughly." As in, not exactly. Clearly, atoms moving at a speed of negative infinity don't make any sense at all and violate special relativity. Way to make my point for me.

It will be incomplete in the sense that it will contain axioms with no formal proof. Technically speaking the TOE is this axiom. However, you can even prune these axioms by selecting for the simplest one that conflicts with the least data.
