Sorry, but this seems too strange to be true. Are you sure you didn't miss anything? Particularly strange since moving train (i.e. vehicle) is about the most common way doppler effect is explained in textbooks- it's not like you n

If a movie has won an oscar, I used to count that as negative. Generally avoided nobel winners' books. Interesting how things have changed in just 7-8 years (I'm 25).

Why would someone want to game a negative result? Nobody ever becomes famous for saying my approach doesn't work. (As long as science is open, to make sure there is actually good work done by researchers before reaching this neg result

Am from Indian subcontinent. Butter isn't exactly that popular where I'm from (Bangladesh). Milk is usually collected at dawn and consumed in liquid form before the day is over, no need to store anything.

> If they did, they could end the Taliban in the span of a few weeks, just like they did ISIS. It wouldn't be a war, it would be a rampage... This whole paragraph seems utterly bizarre. US did NOT "end" ISIS, certainly not

Taliban is certainly more popular than they were 25 years ago. Last time there was a pretty strong grassroot movement against Taliban, particularly in the northern parts of the nation. Taliban didn't have to fire a shot in many of thes

I think you're overestimating Pakistan's capability. It gave Taliban leaders shelter at their worst moment, and that is about the only leverage ISI had. The moment Taliban started to carve out territory inside Afghanistan, that le
