Am I not speaking English correctly again? A compact storage device for symbols that make up words that make up stories that others might read and enjoy. I believe the Romans called the device liber, if that helps.

So God is using a magnifying glass to fry ants/people on the earth?Originally posted by pchang View Post“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

Put solar panels on it and you can solve our energy problems at the same time you solve global warming.....“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

Solve global warming? Bah! Seems like an awful lot of effort just to cool the Earth. Couldn't you "just" shift the Moon's orbit so that it's on the same plane as the Earth and the Sun, giving us a lot more eclipses? (I have no idea if this would affect the Earth in any way.)Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Is it the same actual diameter as the sun, or the same angular diameter, as viewed from Earth?No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

Same actual diameter as the Sun, but it's very close to it, so it would only be a little larger than the Sun from the Earth, I'd think.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

What's wrong with the words he gave you: "The tidal stresses on the object you are postulating are ridiculous."Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
Jon Miller: MikeH is a shockingly revolting dolt and a masturbatory urine-reeking sideshow freak whose word is as valuable as an aging cow paddy.

That's good, yeah, but it's just one sciencey term: tidal stresses.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.
