Tagline: Study shows geologists rarely affected by suicide, old age.

Geologist movie deaths, a compilation An article in AAAS Science magazine (summarizing a Geology Today article) show that about a third...

No no, the moral is that mathematics is divorced from reality and can lead you astray. Now, physics - physics would have figured it...

There's no reason to think that. Certainly none given in the opening post. If you've just found out about methane's role in global...

No negativity was intended. And if there's sarcasm, it's good natured. That's fair.

These are excellent analyses. I'm wondering about applications to astronomy.

I guestimated the population growth as if the cats procreated by mitosis, leaving the parents unable to contribute to the population...

If our star produced such a deep gravity well that time dilation were significant, then you'd see all velocities speed up, at all...

I suppose the significance could manifest when you're in a spaceship and Houston tells you to rotate the craft for a retrograde burn. It...

You're thinking of 'apparent retrograde motion', on the celestial sphere. Where this thread talks about retrograde, it's in the context...

I'm not sure why you're framing this as an objection. Yes, that's what you do, and that's what makes it unambiguous. Wasn't the...

Why wouldn't it be? The direction of the pseudovector in whatever reference frame we pick provides all the information about the...

Yet, the right-hand rule provides an unambiguous direction towards the rotational north pole. This isn't as much of a problem as you...

As has been said, you can't get a velocity out of the Hubble constant, because its dimension is that of a frequency. I can appreciate...

I feel like I should maybe be more constructive with my comments. Do you need the apocalypse to be caused by the tides? I understand...
