I have the same constellation on my left arm!

I've had several professors who won't accept hand written papers unless they are in cursive without errors. Writing things without my computer helps me with better spelling in the long run and makes me a little more diligent; I tend to write in a really sloppy manner when I am on a computer and...

The United States isn't doing so hot in research right now. Our country is slashing research programs one by one, taking millions of dollars out of some very promising labs. This isn't a symptom of a country who is still riding a wave of technological and scientific greatness. I also...

I hate to suggest this-- because it can be a little hippy dippy-- but have you considered studying advanced mathematics and physics and throwing yourself into some philosophy classes--? They won't really assuage your emotional feelings about life and the afterlife or what have you, but having a...

I cannot wait to say that to anyone. That is so darn adorable and geeky! I love it. And I agree, but I also think that a "No" works in a practical non-unlimited time scenario. This is a fun argument, but also incredibly all-encompassing. The question of physical boundaries comes into play...

It sounds to me like terrestrial radiation of some sort-- I wonder if there were any strange geologic events that coincided with this?

I've been contemplating this issue lately-- this is a problem that is *sorta kinda* addressed in the Axiom of Choice and in the theories of Borel, Lebesque and Godel in a big sort of way. The main concern that I have had with this idea is that even a physical model would have to have some sort...
