    Italian seismologists convicted of multiple manslaughter.

    I didn't know Galileo was a Pole. Maybe I'm wrong about Italians then. Although I did grow up in a town that was 80% Italian. Much of what I know was learned there.

    Italian seismologists convicted of multiple manslaughter.

    Yes. And a secular one at that. I expected more from Italian culture. The home of Galileo and Copernicus. A lot more.

    Sense of guilt for leaving my girlfriend.

    27 is better than 34. I misread the math. If you had stayed with her any longer you would be leading her on. I agree with the other posts; keep your distance and let her move on while she still has the bloom on the rose.

    So, to answer your question, no, professionals do not do drugs.

    Not if they have an ounce of sense. Grow up and quit doing drugs already. You're like a piano player who amuses himself by doing Bishop's knife trick in Aliens. Not smart.

    Sense of guilt for leaving my girlfriend.

    You started seeing her at 20 but are leaving her at 32? Your guilt is well-founded. You took the best years of her life (regarding finding a mate) and then left her high and dry with not much time left to start over. By the time she gets over it she'll be 36. Did you try to seek counseling...

    Why fish under water see a circle surrounded by darkness

    "I have looked for an answer using total internal reflection but that requires the light to be passing from a dense medium to a less dense" So what would this look like to you if you were underwater? Assume that there is only darkness from the direction of the water and all the light is...

    How long would an electron-positron pair exist for?

    I would suppose more than 14 billion years if they started out on opposite sides of the 14-billion light-year wide universe.

    Actually smitten with one problem.

    The odds of him being gay are maybe 50:1. A long shot so you are fine if you're a heterosexual girl and you're very much behind the 8-ball if you're a gay male.

    Stars or Transistors: Which Outnumbers the Other in Our Universe?

    On the basis of the numbers presented, MOSFETs win or soon will. There are 6.8 billion transistors in a large FPGA. A large Intel server processor has upwards of 2.5 billion. 8 gigs of ram? More than 8 billion. Such ICs (together with many more smaller ones) are fabricated by the...

    Do You Know Why Stars Have Different Colors?

    The original question is ill posed and can have correct answers on many levels. Since we're not given the alleged incorrect ones, I conclude (and without having read it) that it's a BS pop-sci article and each of the newly minted PhD's likely gave valid answers in the domain they understood the...

    Resistor and Current Source in Parallel with Short Circuit?

    You are right on all counts. Not sure what you're confused about.

    Is space truly empty or is it filled with unseen forces and fields?

    Minor correction- he was measuring the times on Earth when the moon popped out from behind Jupiter's shadow. When the Earth swung around its solar orbit by six months, the event was 92x2 million miles further away resulting in a 15 minute delay to the observed event.
