I wish I could not be retarded about math and physics. Then I could do more than just nod and smile at news like that.

That's why I like biology. Sure there's probability and probably complex models for ecosystems, but it's more intuitive than physics.

As someone with a passing interest in physics you pinhead!   LOL

The notion that there is an ultimate speed at which things cannot travel faster than.  And isn't theoretical physics all about challenging the notions of accepted physics?  Once upon a time things couldn't travel faster than the speed of sound.

Really has no bearing on the theory of relativity at all at this stage, but it's interesting.
Well the thing is it's been maintained for a while now that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light and that seems rather illogical.

I'm going for either that or improper error analysis.

I thought that happened when you refused an offer that you couldn't.
I assumed that it meant that you were executed by Don Corleone.

No, it's still George because even if you cared about Scarface for some reason (I don't), the creation of a poor movie does not affect you watching the original. You cannot watch the original Star Wars in good quality anymore because George destroyed the originals to fiddle with it.

And to be fair, they did (eventually) fix Bush's Google bomb. I'm not sure if Santorum is really the same thing, though.

The definition of a study that didn't need to be conducted since you already knew it anyway.

Elected officials are morons. Score lower on civics test than general population.

I kinda doubt the validity of this somewhat. Looking into exactly how it was conducted.

EDIT: Actually it's all legit. Good methodology. Good questions.
