Yeah Christianity kinda got rid of that. Sorry.
A schwarschild radius of 0.5 meters corresponds to about 56 Earth masses. So Richard must have accreted a bunch of mass before he collapsed.
Part of the point of reading literature is appreciating how authors write books. "Literacy" includes being able to read and understand diverse styles of writing. This seems more like it's geared toward passing standardized tests that require reading comprehension.
An AI would give a generic definition of Saturn and a generic definition of tea and then say something irrelevant like "scientists disagree about the exact composition of Saturn's core"
Saturn is a mixture of gases. It has a solid rocky/hydrogen core surrounded by a layer of liquid hydrogen/helium. You could argue that this intermediate liquid layer might have solid particulates, and this would agree with the definition, but overall Saturn is too complicated to be classified this way. A better extreme example would be something like Earth's oceans.
Al is a major element in the solar system. Most rocks have Al2O3 on the order of 3-10 wt.%. That includes chondrites (the major class of meteorite) which have plenty of feldspar, a mineral that's like 20 wt.% Al2O3, and calcium-aluminium inclusions (CAIs), which are as their name suggests, Al-rich.
Corporations want to be perceived as people, and they are protected by law as such. A person who knowingly manufactures weapons that are being used to commit a genocide is a psychopath. Psychopaths typically feign empathy to appear normal and blend in with society. Lockheed Martin supporting Pride is an example of such behavior.
Of course corporations are profit maximization engines, not people. By allowing them to act like people, we are normalizing psychopathy.
It's fine for a user who needs specific things not that often. I always have to look up how to do anything anyway, and by the next time I do it I've either forgotten or the software has updated.
Which values? I have met authoritarians, democrats, socialists, and theocrats in Missouri. Why should Yemen be different? I find this "East vs. West" cultural/values narrative to be a convenient fiction for demagogues to take advantage of.
I think it's the degree of bullshit that increases gradually. To speak from experience, when you are a grad student you get a feeling like there's corruption but overall your project seems like it's important and making a real contribution (hopefully). You also don't have to worry about where the money is coming from. Sometimes the grant as a whole is total bullshit but there is enough discretionary spending included that great science comes out of it. But you don't realize this until you're writing grants, and by then you're maybe too deep in the game to pull out. Essentially, you end up becoming a manager once you get tenure. There is no epiphany; it's more like a slow creep.
There is no alternative if you actually want to do science and don't have millions of dollars to buy labs and materials and instruments. Science gets done in spite of everything she is describing.
I love this. "Israel invades Norway" would be such a great news story to follow.
If you get tired of posting about how hopeless it is, go join a group that is trying to change things.
Sometimes. Sometimes it's an intro sentence that already has 2 citations and just needs a 3rd, and you just find a paper with more measurements and the same conclusions.
I think they'd be solar powered with some kind of thin film photovoltaic. You don't need much battery in that case. While some carbon cost is inevitable, the point is they wouldn't ever compete with something that burns kerosene.
