“It’s always hard to know who owns the success,” an official said. “Sometimes for us, success is moving the needle with other bigger players and getting them to think about things. So if the U.S. advanced a version of our idea, sometimes that’s what success looks like for us.”
The discovery of this elusive force dates back to 1998 when astronomers found that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. The expansion itself was initially driven by the energy from the Big Bang, but since the Big Bang happened so long ago (13.8 billion years ago, to be exact), this expansion should be slowing down.
To make up for this conundrum, theorists postulated that some mysterious force, dark energy, must exist that acts against gravity and drives matter apart. Cosmological models show that dark energy accounts for 68% of all energy in the cosmos, according to NASA. But astronomers admit that the evidence for its existence is a bit vague.
"[The acceleration of the expansion] of the universe doesn't make sense when you think that there's just gravity there," Isobel Hook, a professor of astrophysics at Lancaster University in the U.K. and a Euclid scientist, told Space.com. "It shouldn't be slowing down. So the fact that we observe it getting faster means that there must be something else. And we just call that thing dark energy because we don't really know at all what it is."
peak of 1.04 million IOPS at a latency of 121.1µs, which was noticeably better than the Samsung 990 Pro.
"we cannot take the credit for our record advancements in certain scientific fields alone, we have been helped by people of other worlds."
Planet Nine's existence was discovered by Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown through mathematical modeling and computer simulations.
“My mother was very concentrated. She concentrated on one thing and only one thing at a time,” he explained. “She passed that down too. She told us to find our one thing, concentrate on it with all you have and don’t feel the need to compare yourself to any other people. Just do the best you can with your passion. And I think her grandkids will learn from that.”
An experiment is described which attempts to replicate the results of Podkletnov et al. concerning an alleged detection of a gravity-like force above a spinning superconductor. The experiment is based on Podkletnov’s published descriptions plus personal communications but found no evidence of a gravity-like force to the limits of the apparatus sensitivity. A full description of the apparatus and operation is given.
In our case, values of the inexplicable weight changes, which are well reproducible from sample to sample, are about 0.01 wt. %.
Although the payoff of the discovery of a superconductor-mediated interaction between matter and gravity would be tremendous, only a few researchers are pursuing this goal. The main reason for this is the adherence to dogma concerning the impossibility of increasing the matter/electromagnetic coupling coefficients. This adherence is reinforced by reputable physicists pointing out that the theoretical constructs presented so far are based on questionable foundations. As with any forays into the unknown, one has to accept a few bumps along the way, including sometimes going back to the starting point in order to start again. The likelihood of scientific ridicule is extremely high in the search for laboratory-scale gravitational interactions.
In many cases, the number and quality of witnesses, the variety of roles they played in the encounters, and the equipment used to track and record the craft favor the latter hypothesis that these are indeed technologically advanced craft

If their claims turn out to be true, the team in Korea will have made one of the biggest breakthroughs in physics history, no doubt leading to revolutionary changes in electronics and certainly Nobel medals for all those involved.
What used to be Alt+drag is now Super+drag. Super is the Windows/Apple/Meta key next to the Alt key on most keyboards. In the process of finding that, I also discovered that Super+middle button+drag resizes windows (which apparently used to work with Alt too, but I never knew about it).

It’s complexity and uncertainty all the way down. “The fact that, with continued warming, AMOC will slow down is a very robust result. The uncertainty—and where science still needs to figure things out—is when,” Kilbourne. “But I kind of think that by the time we figure out when, it'll already have happened.”
Mr. Buffett, on June 23, 1999:
"If I was running $1 million today, or $10 million for that matter, I’d be fully invested. Anyone who says that size does not hurt investment performance is selling. The highest rates of return I’ve ever achieved were in the 1950s. I killed the Dow. You ought to see the numbers. But I was investing peanuts then. It’s a huge structural advantage not to have a lot of money. I think I could make you 50% a year on $1 million. No, I know I could. I guarantee that."
