God is the universe/love/laws of physics. We already have names for these things. Redefining something as ‘god’ tells us nothing. To use the word ‘god’ implies a host of other attributes and if you don’t intend to apply those attributes, using the word is intentionally misleading. ...
That’s why it’s so hard to reckon with the facts: because the loss of her is so terrible, and so inhumanly unfair, and because if she could have outlived herself, she would find the whole thing – the rituals of grief, the sobriety of her own memorialisation, all the earnest mawki...
In some cases, the game engine may calculate physics and game logic separately for each camera view to ensure precise interaction and collision detection from both perspectives.This could effectivelydouble the amount of workthe CPU is doing in terms of physics, animation, and other scene updates...

“Percolation Theory,” which Geoffrey A. Landis presented in a 1993 paper where he argued that the laws of physics would impose limits on the extent of a species’ interstellar expansion. Instead of a uniformity of expansion, species would be more likely to “percolate” outward, which ...
The researchers claim that their modified version of lead apatite has done it without any of those stipulations. This is momentous news. That’s enough to raise skeptical eyebrows from the international physics community. And with good reason. These papers are not yet peer-reviewed, and the clai...
Spacetime is exactly what it sounds like: the three dimensions of space – length, width, and height – combined with the fourth dimension – time. Using some very brilliant math, Einstein was the first person to realize that the laws of physics work in a universe wherespace and time are ...
The rich and powerful can see this change as a good thing if they themselves can profit from it. When there is not enough energy, the physics of the situation tends to lead to increasing wage and wealth disparities. Wealthy individuals see this outcome as a good thing: They...
Beside that, Alex Kidd is his usual slippery self. Floating through the air, and hardly ever landing where you want him to. Although the physics are a little different from the original. Less moon like is the way I’d describe it, but then when you’ve spent most of your life playing...
