but there's no sense crying over every mistake
you just keep on trying till you run out of cake
and the science gets done
and you make a neat gun
for the people who are still alive
And yea, Newton was -insane-, Principia is like, a cornerstone of physical sciences.
Before Newton, though, Hipparchus came pretty close, comparing the size of the moon during solar eclipes, and the earths shadow during lunar eclipses, he figured it to be about 63 Earth radius' away. It's a little over 60, so he was pretty close too. But Newton was alot closer.
another thing that someone pointed out to me the other day, which i'd never really considered before, which is that at places like CERN where they're doing weird stuff with supercolliders, unless there is another lab on another planet where aliens are doing the same thing, it's probably the only place in the universe that that event is happening
like those dudes who created an einstein-bose condensate by cooling something to very close to absolute 0
unless there's aliens doing the same thing, it was the coldest object in the universe
for anyone in the UK, there's a really interesting Horizon on BBC iPlayer at the moment about gravity
man this programme is totally insane
a bunch of NASA dudes have been measuring the orbit of the moon using reflectors put there by the apollo missions
they've ascertained that newton's prediction of where the moon should be is actually wrong by about ten metres
and as such they've decided that Newton got it wrong
ten metres, over a quarter of a million miles
Newton probably made his observations from the third story or something, forgot to factor it in.
Also Bill Nye is Ed Begley Jr's neighbor. He appeared on an episode of Begley's reality TV show, Living With Ed, where it was revealed that Begley and Nye have constant neighborly competition between them as to who can have the "Greenest" house.
High end science. Thanks to the fact that we're living in the future, you can do coolass shit like download remotely sensed information from Mars. Want a surface point map of Mars? Can do - you can download the data from the Mars Orbital Laser Altimeter. You want that in shapefile or e00? What resolution would you like it in? If you got the bandwidth, NASA got the data. I mean think about it - an object in orbit around Mars --> NASA --> your desktop.

"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. "
I usually have to do some extra studies for bio and that, 'cause they ask me to give little presentations and lectures to the class all the time, so I'm usually up late too. I haven't slept since yesterday morning, it's 10:30 am now, but, I'm off school, so I'm just studying all night in my own time.

When can we pilot Battlemechs is what I want to know.

Well, they got a monkey to make a robot walk remotely, and a Neuro-Interface of similar type is what Battlemechs use to maintain their balance, with the help of a gyroscope, of course.

I asked him 'cause his name is a Battletech reference, but I find your battle monkey mechs
intriguing and would like to subscribe to your ideas and/or newsletter.

How is Sword of Light a battletech reference?
Please keep in mind I'm familiar with Inner Sphere history from the Betrayal up to about 3066.
When are we gonna find a graviton, it's taking for agggeesss
the programme i mentioned about gravity basically seemed to say 'no-one's really sure'
like, they expected to find it at fermilab but they didn't
and they expect to find it at CERN, but there are no guarantees
it's to do with the fact that they can't actually detect gravitons because they're hypothesised to lie outside of the three spatial dimenions or something stupid
"Think the real world isn't as exciting as fantasy? Well you're stupid and you're wrong! The daily grind of human society may feel bland and tedious, but there's a whole universe of bizarre, even disturbing lifeforms battling for survival day and night, all around us...and sometimes inside of us. From shape-shifting molluscs to ants that explode, the following pages will fill you in on a variety of creatures you may have never even realized you share a world with."
It makes me angry to think that future generations will be all "oh yeah this is what gravity is" and everyone one will know it won't even be a big deal, even the little kiddies will know,

Bill Nye the Science Guy!
Fuck I miss that show.

God fucking damn Science is awesome.

Ha ha, yea, that would be.... insane to do. You'd need a dedicated team of data sorters to get it done.
Help us Science!

Never heard of him untill now... and now I must find more of him. There goes my sleep

This is a television show opening many of us grew up on. I know I did.
