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.

    The origin of the inverse square law

    Where does the inverse square law of gravitation come from? Is it just inserted by hand into general relativity? Or can it be deduced from just Einstein's postulates that in the nonrelativistic and weak gravity limit, the inverse square law just naturally arises? Any help would be greatly...

    How to find the x,y elements of a 3D vector when origin, direction, z are known

    I believe this is the correct place to post this as I believe I'm going to need to solve this as a linear system, however I suppose it might be solvable using trig as well. However, I've been at it for a while and I'm out of ideas and I think I'm missing something silly. Consider the...

    When Did Einstein First Encounter Quantum Entanglement?

    To me, the concept of entanglement sounds like an epiphany. I’m sure I can’t find one specific moment for it but I’d like to get closer. And I’d like your help. So far, I see that Einstein had issues with Born’s matrix mechanics (1925) among other things, which heated up the Bohr Einstein...
