    Welcome to the Verizon Media Privacy Policy

    @Evo No, I don't use Verizon. And I wonder how you managed to stay on basic yahoo mail. I tried to resist changes as long as possible, but as far as I remember at one stage I had to upgrade to new yahoo, with many more confusing windows and options. But maybe you are right, maybe my PC got...

    Welcome to the Verizon Media Privacy Policy

    To me it looks like a ploy. Once I spent literally an hour to manage to opt out only to be told that it might take days until these actions take effect.

    Welcome to the Verizon Media Privacy Policy

    Lol, yes it still exists, and I actually prefer it to my gmail. Basically @russ_watters this popup shows up wherever (or most times) I try to access my yahoo mail. They would ask for example for my telephone number in case I loose my password. But you always had some choice to not give them...

    Welcome to the Verizon Media Privacy Policy

    I believe the users of good old yahoo web mail might guess what this topic is about just by reading the title. I always liked yahoo because it's the only one site I know of that doesn't ask for domain on login. I've had an email address there for quite a long time, but it has become increasingly...

    News Police Operation in Munich: Right Wing Terrorists Strike

    What you sad has nothing to do with dipole's claim. Anyways, neither politics nor religion has not much to do with this sort of crime, at least not in the sense people usually connect them, so any further discussion in sad terms is futile.

    B Meaning of the word 'instantaneous'

    Can you give the link of the video. Maybe instantaneous in the sense that the speed is immediately c?

    Insights Which Scientist Said What - Comments

    wow. How did you people got these high results. I got 3, one of which (q. 6) was educated guess. 1 - Impossible to guess. All pre 19th century scientists were admirers of the laws in nature. I would never expect Kepler or Cabeus to say that. I thought maybe Ferma somehow (he was an atheist), but...

    What is your most treasured possession

    My most valuable possession is my new lap top PC with touch screen. The reason why I value it is the same as zooby's.

    Why do we need the set of complex numbers to solve?

    I just can't see this. I would think real numbers were "intuitive" at least from the time of Zeno and his motion paradoxes. For Greeks mainly geometry was the mathematics. I would think once a Greek mathematician draw the number line with his ruler, some idea of continuum would (or should have...

    What are you currently doing with your life?

    Or maybe working in the supermarket is not necessarily boring.

    Thrown Object & Earth's Escape Velocity

    Of course. All elliptic paths are closed orbits, so all speeds less than escape can take any elliptic path (of which the circular is special case)

    Do Objects of Different Masses Fall at the Same Speed?

    What masses? I sad mass. I was talking about g as acceleration. Basically I just restated your: I guess I should have sad which mass I referred to

    Do Objects of Different Masses Fall at the Same Speed?

    g depends on mass, not on Newton's constant. It also depends on distance. Aristotel wasn't right because he thought speed of falling object is proportional to mass, which is not true. All bodies fall with exactly equal speeds in inertial reference frame. Even with your Jupiter-weight stone this...
