If I can take a shot at this, there are broadly two: the quantum mechanic explanation and the relativity explanation. But we seem to only be talking about relativity. Relativity ex…

Molecules are much lower density than black-holes. If an object were infinitely small, it would never be hit by physical collisions. If it were infinitely massive it would never be…

The most common hundred words is challenging. But maybe not the most common hundred concepts . "Turn out" is ambiguous but the notions of "expulsion" or "away" or "count" and "peop…

I’d actually like to see a minimum set of _concepts_ necessary to communicate among humans then choose the language that best uses them. Such a list would be great to have for many…

This sounds like great fun, especially having a nice front end. I built something similar on google app engine way back when it was new and cheap. It was browser based so more text…

I think the question comes from the following understanding: - change requires the passage of time. - particles moving at the speed of light relative to us have infinite time dilat…
