Well, it is what I research (at least tangentially), so I thought I would open up a thread on it. First off, what is a gravitational wave? If you imagine that information cannot immediately, than you can conclude that if the sun disappeared, it would take some time for that information to reach...

He tells you that you get the last word and you use it to insult him pettishly instead of reiterating whatever point you thought you had about this thread? You are a small person EagleSmack. Being ignorant with somebody until they throw their hands up in frustration and refuse to try to...

This will probably rape my attachment budget...

Be careful though. I haven't tried it myself. It could be a huge waste of peanut butter and sugar.

I heard of a pretty simple peanut butter cookie recipe: 1 cup of peanut butter 1 cup of sugar 1 egg You mix it in a bowl, roll it into balls and cook it on a pan in the oven, heated to 375 degrees. Should take about 10 minutes to cook. Of course if you want that cross hatched pattern on the...

I was pretty much lost at the request for eyes...

Ok, none of this even borders on sense for me. ಠ_ಠ

There are few things nowadays that remind me more of gender inequality than these two simple things: security checks at airports and public toilets everywhere. The bell goes off when you step through the metal detector and if you are a man, a man comes over to pat your genitals (apparently) and...

I don't think I have seen Italians use much more than tomato, salt, basil and oil. That being said, the quality of the tomatoes changes the flavour a lot.

Yes, but I happen to like the flavours of many different things and I like experimenting in order to share the joys with people who might not. Things taste better when they are fizzy, in general.

Lately I've taken to Italian bitter cocktails... so sorry you underaged members. This one is alcoholic. Really simple cocktail is to take a sort of liquer, in my case an Italian bitter like Campari, and to add it to sparkling (fizzy) water. It is a bitter soda essentially. Well I decided to try...

We're an embarassment. An all perfect god set up his perfect creations in a perfect paradise (how could a perfect god create any less?) and yet we disobeyed this god. Said god has been trying to eradicate us ever since, and then feeling guilty about trying to kill everyone, and then getting...

The more I think about this the more I think this is what peer review was designed to do. The basic idea is that it is actually quite easy to dissent with the commonly held view in the peer review system. If you have a new model you publish it and lay out the basic ideas and the basic...

Not the courts. It is well believed and well deserved that the best spoken lawyer has the most likely chance at success. At this point it is nigh impossible to separate the facts from the sophistry. There are vested interests all over the place, the only real way to come to a conclusion is to...

If special relativity was put to a jury, they would likely give up on it, and the GPS satellites would fall out of the sky as general relativity went with it. It is just so beyond what a ``reasonable person'' would find believable. In fact, the GPS satellites have a general relativity override...

I'm just going to leave this here, by way of explanation, by way of apology for people who maybe I stepped on in passing, to all those I sleighted without realizing it. Then I'm going to cool off. Feminism 101: On Anger Melissa McEwan This may be the shortest Feminism 101 post I ever write...

Well, I think so too, but why does everybody keep getting angry at us?

Well, I tend to like garlic in what I cook. But since moving to Europe, I started to notice that when I would chop or crush something with garlic in it, the next day I would have many tiny, itchy blisters on my hands. It was always the next day that I would notice so it took me a long time to...

They say you can't take it with you, but that doesn't stop people from trying. Plenty of people decide to be buried with jewelry, fancy suits--heck, even money. Then we stick them in the ground, of which we have a limited supply of. My question is, where's the crime in digging it up? It's not...

Antlered goats made me giggle. ಠ_ಠ
