Most Commonly Mispronounced Mathematicians
Euclid is Greek. Personally I pronounce it "yoo-clid". P.S: Today, Julius Caesar's name is not pronounced how it was in Roman times as it was spelt Iulius Caesar. The Romans had no "j", they used an "I" in consonant form and the "ae" was pronounced as "eye" not "aye" or "ee".- L4xord

New Math: An Analysis of its Validity
It still seems to be taught at school. I and all my friends have learned the short division method. In fact, a couple of years ago when we were introduced to long division, most people could not do it.

Writing: Input Wanted Warp Drive System: Could Powerful Lasers Reach Warp Speed?

History History Channel's Ancient Aliens

History History Channel's Ancient Aliens
To me Ancient Aliens looks like a show that suggests (though generally far-fetched) possible answers to things which we do not have definite answers to. But almost all of the stuff suggested there is most likely wrong.- L4xord

Evacuating Earth? NatGeo Doc Review
It would depends on how far the ship is from the Earth's atmosphere and the direction of the craft. But I reckon Earth would still be affected by a nuclear bomb's radiation. I think anti-matter is certainly a ridiculous technology that will never be able to be used in the hands of humans...- L4xord
