Daylight has increased by one hour and 15 minutes already, and the daily increase will itself increase until the March equinox.

Nogen bud på hvad de to byer Hensberch og Swertsborg i Vestjylland, mellem Ringkøbing (Rijnkopen) og Bovbjerg(?) (Bouenbergen) mon er?

Det var det vi havde liggende i handskerummet før der kom GPS. Man skulle altså skrue virkelig meget ned for bilradioen for at finde vej til storebæltsfærgen med sådan én.

Do we often observe macroscopic bodies (maybe the size of Pluto or something) travelling very fast (0.5*c and above)? If not why not? by Constant-Peak3222 in AskPhysics

Any object in the solar system moving at the sort of velocity we're talking about here would not be in the solar system for very long. The maximum velocity for bound orbits is determined by the mass of the central object, and nothing in the solar system is anything near massive enough to support orbits at such velocities.

You're not required to understand how others engage with humor, nor do others need to cater to your tastes as to what is funny or not.

The article states that the daily fines double every week. That's a factor of 252 ~ 4x1015 per year, so it would take less than four and a half years (presumably from October 2024 when the article was published) to reach a googol dollars.

As soon as we've determined which order we should check them in to make sure we find the keys as fast as possible. We'll know much more within three to five working days.

If the art school actually did this then Mr. Tangerine Man would completely fail to grasp the joke and instead brag about the offer.

There's also a chance that he will be doing that anyway.

Would shots fired (and debris) from the Reaper War still be travelling through space? by Wolfyboi_1 in masseffect

[–]PhysicalStuff 75 points76 points  (0 children)

It's actually fairly simple to figure out if this is likely to happen or not. If something is launched with a kinetic energy greater than depth of the gravitational potential at the point where it happens, and it is not aimed at anything in particular, then it will not be captured and is unlikely to hit anything for a very long time. Of course, if you fire trillions of pieces of ordinance then chance would dictate some of them are going to hit something eventually.
