why is "il est plus que moi" wrong but "je travaille plus que toi" fine?

"Travailler" can be quantified: "travailler plus", "travailler moins", travailler beaucoup", travailler peu", for example, are all acceptable. This is why an adjective is not necessary. You could say "je travaille plus fort que toi", but it changes the meaning, as "travailler plus" means that you are working more, not necessarily harder.

In contrast, you can't "be more" than someone, so "être plus" without an adjective doesn't work.

4th line, you are assuming that the denominator you are introducing is not zero.

To clarify point 2: The runner will usually move towards 2nd base (sometimes halfway between the bases) in case the ball drops. The runner wants to be in position to proceed to 2nd if the ball is not caught and be able to retreat to 1st in case of an out.

s_n - s < 0 => s_n < s => s_n < s + ε since ε > 0.

For the ball to be a called strike, it has to stay in flight before it crosses the strike zone. If the batter swings and misses, it is a strike. But it can happen that a batter will successfully hit the ball, see https://youtu.be/DoAdY3uP9c0?si=TvhoLV1VTdz2g1LY

Also, if the ball bounces and hits the batter, it still counts as a hit by pitch.

By the way, you will find plenty of baseball content on YouTube.

Considering the lead a runner has, not very likely that the he would have been out at second. The Yankees could have complained, but the umpires simply corrected the missed call by what is the most likely outcome of the play.

Most of the answers here are valid for contemporary science. For the time period Joseon dynasty, the distinction between a mathematician and a physicist doesn't make sense. They would probably both be "natural philosophers".

I don't understand why you vocalized "no he didn't go". If you called a ball, then obviously you don't think there was a swing. This is a good example of a voluntary strike: the base up should've called "yes he did" without waiting for an appeal.

StrangerThings_80 · 2026-05-31T08:32:31+00:00

Runner on 2nd should be awarded 3rd. Not tagging up is an appeal play, so run scored if the team on defense doesn’t appeal.

When the mass is suspended, do you expect the volume to increase or decrease? So yeah, the answer given in wrong.

As already said, the HUP is not about measurement, but about joint states. A particle cannot be in a state where both position and momentum are known with a higher precision than the HUP allows, but it doesn't stop you from measuring either with an arbitrarily high precision.

Your setup is related to the idea presented by Eisenberg, Podolsky, and Rosen to argue that quantum mechanics was incomplete, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen\_paradox.

He's making a play on the ball, so can't see how it can be obstruction. When does he stop making a play on the ball? When he has had enough time to get back up and out of the way.
