I agree that employing those measures in the US may be beneficial to its economy, and recently heard an interesting program on the German economy. I believe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karsten_Voigt" , former Coordinator of German-American Cooperation in the German Foreign Office, speaks on...

Are you suggesting "de-growth" of developed nations solely for environmental purposes? Or moving away from consumption-based economies which many of these developed nations have become reliant on? I don't think the developing world will constrict their growth in the near future, so are you...

Interesting article in http://online.wsj.com/home-page" . Perhaps history is the best teacher?: - Rumelt, Richard P., World War II Stimulus and the Postwar Boom, The Wall Street Journal, Volume No. 25, July 30-31, 2011.

What policies/actions are other countries implementing to grow their economies that the U.S. could learn from and emulate? Emphasis on fast-growing developing countries, such as China, India and Brazil. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43359312/ns/business-stocks_and_economy/"...

To take your staircase example, if walking down the steps is equivalent to decreasing field strength as distance from the source is increased, then a finite amount of steps is required to reach the bottom (field strength = 0, some attractive force) if the height of the steps is not...

If the universe is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_physics#Wheeler.27s_.22it_from_bit.22", then would force fields be quantized (not extend to infinity)? Must force fields extend infinitely for conservation of energy (transmission of em waves)?

Sorry, I forgot to label those as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_cell#Types".

Why is electric potential (voltage) necessary? I can see how creating the electric field as the force per unit charge allows the force on one charge in the field of another charge to be calculated and accounts for the observed action at a distance by forces. I don't see the correlation of...

Why is there permanent muscle loss from space travel? Is this general muscle atrophy or specific to certain muscles (i.e., which muscles don't experience permanent atrophy and why)?

Can a compound have a high specific heat capacity and be a good thermal conductor, or are these properties mutually exclusive?

As sophiecentaur indicated, color perception is a subjective synthesis of different wavelengths of light absorbed by the retina. The cone cells responsible for human color vision are (peak wavelengths given): Short (420-440 nm), Medium (534-545 nm), and Long (564-580 nm). I believe the color...
