And that this happened with the theme from Rocky playing (a film franchise in which an American underdog beats up a Russian super-athlete), and there were broken plastic robot bits…

Specifically when produced with "exceptional purity"... Wikipedia [0] lists room temperature thermal conductivity at 1300 W/(m·K) and says "Chemical synthesis of cubic BAs is very …

Yes, this is exactly my problem with claims about the 'real' universe if we are, in fact, in a simulation. It might be literally, programmatically, impossible for us to infer anyth…
