In his essay “To Tell a Chemist” (1965), Asimov proposed a simple shibboleth for distinguishing chemists from non-chemists: ask the person to read the word “unionized”. Chemists, he noted, will read un-ionized (electrically neutral), while non-chemists will read union-ized (belonging to a trade union).
2·2 天前Breakthrough Starshot project is working towards accelerating a probe close to 20% of C. That’s a significant fraction of C in these terms.
Even if we could get to .25 C, that would be 80 years for the probe to get there, and then 20 more for the data to come back.
But yes, that is still VERY close.
Isaac Asimov is considered one of the greats of 20th century science fiction. Again, while most famous for writing science fiction he wrote much more than just that.
Isaac Asimov has won scores of Hugo Awards for stories and for Best Editor; dozens of Nebula Awards; several World Fantasy Awards; over a dozen Theodore Sturgeon Awards and Homer Awards; and multiple Sidewise Awards1. He has won Hugo Awards for Best Related Work, Best Novelette, and Best Editor.
He wrote 40 novels and a lot of short stories, and is a great read almost always. He also wrote textbooks because he was just amazing.
Yes, and the idea of spotting a rare fanciful cow while cowatching.
2·26 天前Love both! Thanks!
2·2 个月前Unless you were early eighties baby and introduced to BBS at a remarkably young age like me. Oregon Trail generation FTW.

Well, presumably more than a few dozen light years away. A few dozen lightyears is nothing on a cosmic scale.
Great times!
Introducing my daughter to Trek this year, just wrapped up S4 of DS9 a few weeks ago and S3 of Voyager the week after.
We have a few more months of golden age Trek… soaking it in.
3·3 个月前Nah, that’s more related to the episode named ‘Lower Decks’ I think.
The meme is correct. I can’t bring myself to rewatch it in your link.
That said… good game and plenty to be pleased about.
Dunno. I was going off common wisdom I’d heard over the years about people over salting their food as they get older.
Mayo clinic says yes though.
People also tend to add more seasoning (particularly salt) as they get older and their senses dull.
