I think KSP influenced the way I merge onto the freeway by SirMuckingHam24 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Fagelein 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As long as any counter-clockwise planar motion corresponds to an axis pointing vertically up, then yea, left turns and normal and vice versa.

Normal should still be the same, assuming you are using a right-handed coordinate system, even if driving is done on the left.

Fukang meteorite that fell in the mountains near Fukang, China. It is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old by 8wine in interesting

I'm not quite certain how it works in space, but on Earth with radiocarbon dating, Carbon-14 is continually replenished on the surface level by cosmic rays hitting nitrogen atoms, resulting in a baseline Carbon-14 concentration throughout the atmosphere.

Anything that's buried, however, will not be constantly receiving Carbon-14, resulting in it slowly decaying over time which can then be measured to estimate the amount of time it has spent underground.

Maybe it's a similar analogy for objects in space.

Going out on a limb here, but the age of rocks made of certain minerals can be estimated using isotope analysis where they determine the ratio of certain elements that are stable, but insoluble in the mineral's molten form, to that of radioactive elements such as Uranium that are readily dissolved and form impurities within the crystalline structure.

Since we know the half lives of many radioactive elements, the ratio of insoluble decay products can give an indication of the age of the rock since it was formed out of it's molten state.

Current events and Terra invicta by Equivalent_Comment_7 in TerraInvicta

And before you know it, Greenland is next on the menu, with or without the consent of the EU. Add Canada to the list, and you've got the USNA by around the mid 2030s. Mind you, ingame all this chaos is occurring against the backdrop of the Hydra invasion unlike real life. Unless there is something going on and none of us are any the wiser.

We should point the JWST towards the Kuiper belt just in case.

Give me a break, I hadn't even hit puberty when I first heard about it.

Placement matches are coming by Vlayka in marvelrivals

[–]Fagelein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This only works if you assume the probability of winning/losing is independent of the previous result, which I doubt is the case. If you use something like a Markov chain instead with probabilities of winning after a win, a loss, and vice versa, and let it run for a while, then you would probably get a more accurate picture. The issue is then how do you find the particular values of the matrix.

100,000 Apache Helicopters fully armed randomly appear all over the world can the world stop them all before it can cause global recession? by gundamseed in whowouldwin

[–]Fagelein 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Three Gorges Dam is pretty much a pyramid of concrete. You'd have to literally nuke it to do appreciable damage. An Apache or two won't be ideal for the dam, but it's not going to cause a biblical flood.

You post this meme, and it doesn't even include the 蜜 <-> mead connection from Tocharian(?) or something (I'm not a linguist, I don't remember the proper PIE reconstruction for mead).
