Can't find it in the dark.Why don't the morons just go to the sun at night?

And the Webb used very little thrust to line up in orbit, meaning that it has sufficient rocket power in reserve for minor corrections, to extend well beyond its anticipated ten year life.NASA’s Webb Telescope Reaches Major Milestone as Mirror Unfolds | NASA
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope team fully deployed its 21-foot, gold-coated primary mirror, successfully completing the final stage of all major spacecraft deployments to prepare for science operations.
A joint effort with the European Space Agency (ESA) and Canadian Space Agency, the Webb mission will explore every phase of cosmic history – from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe.
“Today, NASA achieved another engineering milestone decades in the making. While the journey is not complete, I join the Webb team in breathing a little easier and imagining the future breakthroughs bound to inspire the world,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “The James Webb Space Telescope is an unprecedented mission that is on the precipice of seeing the light from the first galaxies and discovering the mysteries of our universe. Each feat already achieved and future accomplishment is a testament to the thousands of innovators who poured their life’s passion into this mission.”
Fantastic news, the images we'll get back from this telescope are going to be brilliant.
@Hacky McAxe has explained it using Ockham's Razor.Hey @Hacky McAxe you are my go to science guy..can you tell me exactly what this means..
‘The pharmacokinetic data from cohorts one through four show a more favourable profile in humans than in rodents, including a longer half-life (detectable up to 12 hours post-dose) alongside rapid distribution in the blood. These signals are very encouraging since this means it is likely to have an even stronger effect in humans than it had in rodents, all else equal. Given the profound efficacy already seen in rodents, these early signals exceeded our expectations and are very promising for the prospect of bringing it to humans,’
Zeno’s Paradox in action.@Hacky McAxe has explained it using Ockham's Razor.
A lot of people do not understand what "half life" means. If something has a half life of one year, then it will halve in effectiveness or toxicity in 12 months; it will then halve to a quarter of its life in 24 months, one eighth in 36 months, one sixteenth in 48 months. Every year the residual is halved - it doesn't just disappear in two increments, as many think. This makes the half life of things like nuclear waste, a real problem for us.
I think that we can argue that there is a finite limit to this because we can plot where it is going; and can determine an arbitrary time where the half life has no value of consequence.Zeno’s Paradox in action.

That's the paradox, even if it is of no consequence it still has a value.I think that we can argue that there is a finite limit to this because we can plot where it is going; and can determine an arbitrary time where the half life has no value of consequence.
Let's put a pedo in an airtight box and see how it goes....In unfortunate scientific news, it turns out that Erwin Schroedinger, one of the key figures in early quantum physics, famous for his cat in the box thought experiment, liked kids a bit too much.
The important part of his thought experiment was that it was a vial of toxic gas that only breaks if the Uranium breaks down. Emphasis on the toxic gas, because it would be a very unpleasant way to go.Let's put a pedo in an airtight box and see how it goes....
I found this fascinating for some reason. The world's longest running scientific experiment going on, in Brisbane of all places.

For more than 90 years, a funnel of pitch in Brisbane has been slowly dripping into a beaker. Nine drops have fallen, now the long wait for the tenth is onwww.theguardian.com
Seen and heard of this one before..freaky!I found this fascinating for some reason. The world's longest running scientific experiment going on, in Brisbane of all places.

Low impact shite. I prefer my research to have real world applications.I found this fascinating for some reason. The world's longest running scientific experiment going on, in Brisbane of all places.

How does one sign up for such research? Do you byo missus or are you assigned a study partner?Low impact shite. I prefer my research to have real world applications.
Randomised trial. There's a follow up paper on erectile dysfunction if you are unlucky with your random allocation.How does one sign up for such research? Do you byo missus or are you assigned a study partner?
Maybe they stay here for the trial.Randomised trial. There's a follow up paper on erectile dysfunction if you are unlucky with your random allocation.
