You are rolling downhill, across the table, and up the side of the next hill, not using up much potential energy, so you are ready to go again somewhere else if you can get lined up right, O.K.?” Ramsey frowned. “It’s not quite what we learned as middies—you’ve got ships...

"Look at this," said James, scrolling down a long table. "Times and dates of occasions when you've proudly admitted to not being good at maths." "What's the matter with that? I'm not." "It's not the lack of ability, Sacha, it's the fact that you're proud of it. You'd ...
I have a table of them here. WHAT EXACTLY DOES SPECIFIC IMPULSE MEAN? MaturinTheTurtle When a physicist tells you something is "specific" he means that quantity is per something else. Specific impulse is impulse per unit weight of propellant. Impulse, in a rocketry context, is thrust applied...
Where: rz = is the empirical radius of the atom (see Table 2) and "d" is the distance between surface atoms. At this same referential, at the nucleus of the atom “A”, we perceive the presence, in this point (at distance “d”), of the IP imposed by the nucleus of atom “B...
The table on the left shows the typical ranges for detecting jump activity and ship transponders, based on the size of the star port. The larger the star port, the greater the range at which detection is performed. Modifiers (see below) can increase a port’s capabilities beyond that of ...
The atoms that come nearest to carbon in this respect are boron and silicon, boron lying just to the left of carbon on the periodic table (as usually presented) and silicon just beneath it. Of the two, however, boron is a rather rare element. Its participation in random reactions to prod...
One way to approach a Lego project is to simply dump the pieces out of the box onto a table, roll up your sleeves, then start building your creation. One way to approach a LEGO project is to simply dump the pieces out onto a table, and rummage through the pile to find the pieces ...
Man's gray technology is also a part of nature. It was, and will remain, essential for making the jump from earth into space. The gray technology was nature’s trick, invented to enable life to escape from earth. The green technology of genetic manipulation was another trick of nature, ...
Table is from the World Building book. Interpolation Yes, the table does not have all the spectral classes. But that's OK, even as far back as ancient Babylon they knew the secret of how to deduce the numbers. It uses the power of linear interpolation. Now the values you figure are no...
