| I knew about the research in the article. It makes sense that ordered patterns smaller than the wavelength of light traveling thru the crystalline material might affect how the waves act as they move. I was pondering how this might be affected using NLO materials as the targets. Red shifting is much... |

| I cannot condone legalization of many drugs that people want to consume recreationally nowadays. Being a chemist, I understand what they do in the human body and what toll one may pay with misuse. Also, I have basically lost part of my family to the drug world (methamphetamines and OxyContin). My o... |

| They found these deposits in Jammu/Kashmir. This is why we need sodium-based battery solution out of the lab ASAP. There is a catch with using sodium metal in batteries. Much like lithium metal, sodium metal reacts exothermically with water. During the reaction process, hydrogen gas is generated. W... |

| I have two of the original books (Dr. No and Goldfinger). I found them in a thrift store for $2 and thought they would make good trading stock someday. Live And Let Die (the 1973 movie) always seemed to have blatant racist overtones to me. I never liked it because of that issue. |

| Would autistic friendly social skills include trying to limit a lot of behaviour that NT's find off-putting? Like for example, obsessive talking about a subject? We ourselves (not just NT's) are likely to find it offputting when another autistic person talks obsessively about a topic that we oursel... |

| I thought that I might add that there exists the probability that black holes convert a portion of their absorbed materials/energy into another higher dimension. This would not violate entropy within the universe, as upshifting to a higher dimension is a form of increasing entropy. The extra dimens... |

| None of the known forces are strong enough to stop a blackhole from collapsing. So the math would indicate they collapse forever, thus the name 'singularity' (a point of infinity density). We will likely never know what is inside a blackhole, but with math and experimentation we can make 'guesses'.... |

| 8O Didnt actually watch the vid till just now. So if you have steel braces in your back (like a guy I know) you just cant get an MRI? Correct - many people with implants that use steel cannot get MRIs done. People with pacemakers are in a similar situation. In these cases, other types of imagery ar... |

Maybe we should make it more fair and use another blimp (or a biplane) to shoot them down like a WWI air fi... |

| My condolences Skibum. That is one reason why I mask as much as I do and keep my self diagnoses to myself. NTs rarely understand others’ difficulties in life. They tend to think everything can be fixed, but it cannot. Hugs go out to you. |

The force of gravity (from the inner neutron star mass) holds it all together. Without that force in play, the black hole would dissipate. |
