...to be a someone.? Over the past 100 years or so , art appears to have become anything that anyone says is art. Even a blank wall or a empty piece of space has been called "art". Who ,if anyone , has the right to decide what is "art" , are there limits on what should be accepted ,or can...

...their flanks? I'm a Brit and in our armed forces , I automatically include the English , Scots , Welsh ,Irish and Gurkha's.In war ,our army naturally prefers to fight alongside these forces, which we consider part of our own. However , if they weren't available, from an historical and...

I've visited the Yale Open lectures site and watched their excellent astronomy "160" course. Anyone got any other good recommendations for the non physicist

The reconciliation of the theory of the very large -- the cosmos, and the the very small -- the quantum mechanical world.

So a white man and a black man are accused of rape and murder. But the police only want to arrest the black man and put him on trial --because he's a black man. Would you say that the police were bigots and racists? The Palestinians and the Israelis are both accused of war crimes , but you only...

When we normally think of fluids and pressure , the forces we deal with are actually associated with pressure differentials. When pressure is used in the cosmological sense , the (gravitational) forces involved are associated with the energy content of space.Normal ,attractive gravity (due to...

In recent years , most British and American casualties have been caused by Improvised Explosive Devices(IEDs). There is evidence that these are designed /supplied --and terrorists trained in their use --by the Iranian government. If so -- should this be considered as an act of war ? Mark, I...

Probably -- but your worries are then the nut behind the wheel.

Say you have a small electronic balence with a weighing pan of 10 inches ^2 , and assume normal atmospheric pressure is 15 lb / inches^2.And with nothing on the pan , the scale reads zero Now put it into a glass jar , and evacuate the jar --what will the scale now read? I
