Hi,
I was looking at https://phl.upr.edu/projects/habitable-exoplanets-catalog
and it occurred to me that in order to reach an exoplanet we are probably going
to need to be able to harness
anti-gravity/inertia-less propulsion. The implication of this is that probably

Hi,
If you multiply the weight of hydrogen in the form of water in the oceans, by
the fine structure constant, you end up
with the weight of Oxygen in the atmosphere.

elated to the role that the fine structure constant plays in the relative
masses of particles in the standard model?
I'm really just guessing here. :)

Hi,
According to
https://www.networkworld.com/article/3191503/mit-selling-8-million-coveted-ipv4-addresses-amazon-a-buyer.html
MIT has 2x^30 IPV6 addresses. That appears to imply that they have the
equivalent of about 1 million 48 bit prefixes.
What a waste, when you consider that a *single*

Years ago, I read in a magazine that elliptical motion of atoms resulted in a

It occurred to me that two synchronized sound sources arranged such that the
