Is scientific genius a thing of the past?
Well said. I'd have to agree with that as well, but i would have probably just used the one word "polymath".

Undergrad Understanding the Role of Grounding in AC Single Phase Systems
In a polyphase system if all three phases are not equally balanced the voltage on the Neutral can increase. If you have three houses in a row where each house is on a separate phase from the substation, two houses are empty and the third is consuming power. The return voltage of the Neutral...- Martinaston

Graduate How Much Man-Made Junk is on the Moon After 43 Years and Counting?
Would detonating a nuke on the Moon be as effective as on Earth, due to the lack of atmosphere. Would the blast just radiate into space and have no effect on the Moons orbit ? As for the Earth and Moons centre of mass (below the Earth's crust), Would landing on the Moon and leaving the lander...- Martinaston
