:lol: Never saw that! You still need a kilo of buckyballs? Well I would like them of course, but I moved on from that project long ago.

Here are a recent pair of papers detailing work at unprecedented resolution on a blazar. A blazar is a type of quasar (active galactic nucleus) originating in an elliptical galaxy. The radio source at z=0.5 (redshift) has a light travel time of ~ 5.2 Bilion years. The postulated resolution showing c...

Maybe some of them are. But is that bad? Were you dropped on your head as a child? Nope. I just don't think it's that bad to be a little racist. Really not that bad. As long as it is managed properly. I may be a little racist myself. I'm not sure. It's possible. Maybe even probable. Here's an artic...

I get that Silver's trolling, and seems to be enjoying it a lot, but can we not put a stop it it now?

Turbo, get some EMDR. You may not think you need it, but get it anyway.

Thanks for the post. I have been following the Mosul battle, but your account is visceral and real.

BTW I am surprised that your story has not been denounced as fake news yet.

The major theme of IQ or g, as they referred to it, being immutable is clearly wrong. A huge amount of work shows that IQ is very malleable, dependant on environment and stimulation. Really?
