It would be difficult to detect that point, however, without foreknowledge of the location of the event horizon. Inside the event horizon, you'd...

You're welcome. The best statistic for mortality is a bit of a moving target and subject to debate. Nothing is ideal, for reasons such as the...

Setting aside the difficulty of measuring an exact position for the event horizon ... The event horizon is a global property of spacetime,...

I'll just repeat something I posted on the "US Nimitz UFO event" threadGrant Hutchison

The Phase II trial on which the current Phase III trial is based is here. There are several interesting things going on with Interferon-β in this...

In terms of daily deaths per capita, Scotland is doing better than England and Wales at present, slightly worse than Northern Ireland. We just...

Per capita, the UK's doing about 60% worse than the USA. Not that it's a competition. Just a data point. Grant Hutchison

The paper I previously linked to (full text here) estimates the probability of molecular hydrogen nucleating out in the bulk of metallic hydrogen,...

It does not. The degradation involves a slow transformation to graphite--you get that at high temperatures in diamond cutting tools. But at room...

Yes, if only diamond weren't metastable, we'd be able to do something useful with it. (Metastability would be a good outcome, but it's likely to...

Well, it also may depend on your secretor status. Some people (secretors) express oilgosaccharides in their sweat and other secretions which are...

You're welcome. Thanks for saying thanks. :) Grant Hutchison

The "gold standard" plan has always been to ensure that you hold back a designated second dose in a refrigerator for all those who receive their...

Detailed information appears in the CDC's vaccine advice for clinicians:I've given up trying to understand the relationship between CDC advice and...

Are you looking for this paper? Grant Hutchison

Kubrick's use of Ligeti's music was inspired, of course, particularly the distorted version of Aventures in the finale, but I don't believe Ligeti...

Coming along very nicely. Grant Hutchison

My problem is that I think there's a lot of variation, but parallaxicality seems to have something specific in mind. The music of Stellaris...

The Boon Companion and I watched Dunkirk tonight. A moving evocation of the event, we thought. (But if Spitfires had been able to carry that much...

Being in SMAL doesn't help me, I'm afraid. Despite all the varied suggestions and examples given here, I still don't know what specific "sound" the...

But isn't this thread about some specific ambient space sound, rather than music that has been chosen to represent space over the years? I confess...

I suppose it depends on how many dead people you're prepared to accept before you describe an event as "unfortunate". Personally, I think any time a...

Strolling through the deserted university campus today, I had a close encounter with a very large rat. Nature is healing. Grant Hutchison

No worries, I understood that. Grant Hutchison

Why "ouch"? Old-fashioned is good. :) But my point was specifically about futurism--it is, of necessity, always a moving target. The Futura typeface...

You made me search for "Valentine's Tree", of which I had (mercifully as it turns out) never heard. Saints preserve us. I think I just got diabetes...

I have a package that has been listed as "leaving the USA" since December 4th, when it was first notified to the UK's Royal Mail. Grant Hutchison

If we're just talking "floaty, ethereal", then presumably the treble passages in the Allegri Miserere (17th Century) would fall into that category....

Isn't that just a particular (now old-fashioned) futurist kind of music, rather than anything to do with space? Vangelis used it constantly,...

What sound? (All I find when I search for "space ambient" is a lot of ambient music that doesn't seem to have much in common apart from being...
