(This article is quite complex; there was a superb article in Scientific American that described Bell's experiments and conclusions simply and clearly; it's here:

but unfortunately it's behind a paywall).
That in 1933 the United States declared bankruptcy and has been so ever since. Also, the original 13th amendment of the Constitution was simply deleted and replaced. And the 16th amendment was never ratified.
sad :( i don't understand why people are downvoting my post... Is this just to sad for people to believe?

Do you also find it weird to think about how without gravity we couldn't walk? That one gets me especially hard because it's a such a tangible example of how we've evolved to take advantage of laws of the laws of physics, and how if these laws were even slightly different then we wouldn't be here, or at least not the same as we're here now.
The first day of a robotics class, my teacher explained that we don't really walk. Each step is graceful falling. Place one foot forward, tilt and fall till the foot hits and repeat.
If walking was simply graceful falling, it would imply that once we begin the process of "falling" onto the next foot, we couldn't significantly affect the outcome. However, because I can start walking and then stop with a single leg half way between it's highest point and the ground, this explanation of walking as falling becomes very problematic.
When I was nine I was playing with BASIC and wrote a simple program that would enumerate all colors of all pixels on the screen. I wanted to see all possible images "fly by" so to speak. First I got frustrated because it was running so slowly, only then I started to think... If I can display a picture of a car on this monitor, then that picture would eventually also show up 'by chance' with my program! Mind blown. Th…

It was originally a link to the reddit thread.
I assume you're the one that edited it? With the link we're ostensibly talking about them, without it we're reduced to their level, and just having the same adolescent discussion again. Editing out the link makes HN more like reddit .
