What is Origin: Definition and 666 Discussions

Country of origin (COO) represents the country or countries of manufacture, production, design, or brand origin where an article or product comes from. For multinational brands, COO may include multiple countries within the value-creation process.
There are differing rules of origin under various national laws and international treaties. Country of origin labelling (COOL) is also known as place-based branding, the made-in image or the "nationality bias." In some regions or industries, country of origin labelling may adopt unique local terms such as terroir used to describe wine appellations based on the specific region where grapes are grown and wine manufactured.
Place-based branding has a very ancient history. Archaeological evidence points to packaging specifying the place of manufacture dating back to some 4,000 years ago. Over time, informal labels evolved into formal, often regulated labels providing consumers with information about product quality, manufacturer name and place of origin.

    Current Research on the Origin of Electric Charge

    Hello! I am not sure if this is the correct place for this but here is a go. I'm currently applying to graduate schools and I know that I am interested in theoretical particle physics and condensed matter theory. In electricity and magnetism we were told that charge is an axiom and it's not...

    Can Numerical Simulations Accurately Predict Orbital Precession?

    If we had a literal two body system (point masses M and m), with one orbiting the other according to Newton's Law of gravitation, would there be orbital precession? Or would they map out the same ellipse each time?

    Unraveling the Mystery: The Big Bang and the Origin of the Universe

    Scientists suggest that there was nothing before the Big Bang. Nothing. Seems to me, the fact that the whole universe came from nothing makes no sense. I know that there isn't an answer yet but I would like to hear what others might think about this issue

    Defining a displacement vector not touching the origin

    In the diagram let the magnitude of the vector BC and OA are 'x'. I am confused with this part. Vectorially we don't say that the vector BC is ##-x##, because ##-x## is represented by OA. Then how do we represent BC? It's said a the position of a vector doesn't matter, I mean one can shift it...

    So I have been reading about the nature of gravity, and I have become a little confused as to how gravity is produced.

    Origin of infrared divergences in perturbation theory

    If you have a momentum integral over the product of propagators of the form \frac{1}{k_o^2-E_k^2+i\epsilon} , why are there divergences associated with setting m=0? Factoring you get: \frac{1}{k_o^2-E_k^2+i\epsilon}=\frac{1}{(k_o-E_k+i\epsilon) (k_o+E_k-i\epsilon)} . This expression has...
