I guess if God isn’t pardoning then Scotland’s government has to. We’re all sinners last time I checked. Sinners pardoning sinners somehow makes...

Good to hear from you Falconer. Stonerose still on bucket list. Count me in as one of those who was sure Mandela died in the 90’s. I remember how...

Ah the Mandela Effect, I was just thinking about that as I read this thread. I'm not sold on it by any means but I do have a couple friends (who...

Since most were burned at the stake, that would eliminate the concern over those being without sin casting the first stone. But it would not be...

It turned out that the electric permittivity E0=1/(12ks), this mathematically, and thinking of it the 4pi is only a logic input that do not work...

In general, spectroscopy is something you can look at to understand how wavelengths can be measured: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopy
