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.

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

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.

"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...

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

Everything but the aeronautics and structural engineering. Avionics, signature control, power systems, actuators, flight controls, and more.

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...

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...

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

You'll find typical protein foods here: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/food-groups/protein-foods.html

Buttered pasta. Add a chicken breast and marinara sauce to get the protein as needed.

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.

I think that sounds like physics. And you'll find those same parametric studies at a particle accelerator. It's engineering when the goal is to build something new using known principles. It's physics when the goal is to understand how something works when the principles are unclear or...

For UHV work you shouldn't use any solder. Their vapor pressures are too high. Use clean crimps.

Ouch.
