Absolute power corrupts absolutely. I think we can even scale that down and say some power corrupts somewhat. There will always be crooked people that manage to find themselves in government.

And you assume everyone is moral? What society do you live in?

The main assumption here is that the US government has the best interests of the whole world at heart. I would have preferred it if the US had spun this off as a non-profit private corporation rather than

$0.14/$0.86 equals a little over 16%. (You get a dollar worth of steem if you convert steem dollars to steem.)

If I were a speculator, I would prefer making 16% in one week rather than 10% in one year, if the market can hold up.

Thanks for the data. It appears some investors feel that they can buy steem dollars at a discount and convert to steem, and be better off. The risk is that one needs to wait a week and the steem market

Steemit is still in beta, so I would expect the rules to change frequently. Also, I don't mind the last hardfork at all. One particular person found an exploit with the mining algorithm, and dominated

I didn't realize quantum mechanics was actually just a fabrication. I guess the fundamentals that supposedly make my electronic devices work is totally bogus. Those darn engineers with all their high falutin

No, I am describing a "quasi-star." Science actually doesn't know for sure what the progenitors of supermassive black holes were. There are several hypotheses at this time.

Although the gas may eventually become compressed enough to start fusion, if there is enough gas falling in, the fusion will never produce sufficient energy to counter the crushing gravity. A relative

I'll have to disagree with your explanation of the genesis of supermassive black holes. these monsters probably formed by the direct collapse of the huge amounts of gas present in the centers of these

If we begin colonizing the Milky Way, the separation between populations will cause several species to emerge. Given 4 billion years of this process, the species we spawn may be as different from each

It would have to be a rotating black hole, and you would have to manage to travel through the center of the ring singularity. This journey would probably destroy everything but a fundamental particle.

Once the light crosses the event horizon, it only has one path, and that is toward the singularity at the center of the black hole. It could not escape the black hole, so we would never see it.

The bigger fear is the creation of strangelets There is a theory that strangelets, matter composed of an equal number of up, down, and strange quarks, is actually more stable the normal matter. As the

A new block is produced about every 3 seconds. With that kind of speed, I'm not surprised there are still some empty blocks.

Looking forward to your body painting artwork with your friend.

Very helpful post. Thanks for the advise.
