Other's have named the actress. The role she is playing in this shot is "Number One" the first officer of the Enterprise in the first pilot, "The Cage". As the story goes, when the The executives green-lighted a 2nd pilot, they had two demands. 1. They didn't want the woman first officer, as...

To be fair, the "photon" torpedoes, weren't made of photons. They were physical torpedoes which contained antimatter held in a magnetic bubble. Detonation was triggered by turning off the bubble. The "photon" designation was referring to the high energy photons produced by detonation. The...

And I'd like a device that turns my household trash into an equal weight of gold. Wanting something isn't the same as something being achievable.

Poop in Finnish is kakk, kakka is poo (pooh). While cake in Finnish is kakku. More "k" words are Kuku=who, Kukku=flower. Kokki =cook(person). Kokkata = to cook( but s/he cooks =hän kokkaa) Koko = whole, Kokko=bonfire. Kokoo=gathering, Kokoon = together. On top of that, questions are often...

Space-time isn't a "thing or "substance". It is just a combination of the 3 spatial and 1 temporal dimensions( degrees of freedom of motion). And when it it said that space-time "curves" what it is referring to is that the rules of geometry governing it deviates from the Euclidean rules and...

Without context, there are lots of words that are used in different languages yet have different meanings within them . "bald" in German means "soon". "Ja" means "yes" in German but "and" in Finnish. "No" in Finnish means "well" ( Such as in, Well, hello!) etc.

It isn't really unusual for the odds for collision to go up with time, at least at first. Look at it this way: Your first prediction gives a cross-section of where the asteroid could be when is crosses Earth's orbit. Earth is in that cross-section, offset from the center. The odds of...

Another example of a dubious translation of the Bible comes from the description of Moses as he came off the mount. What seems to originally meant to mean that his face shone with rays of light was translated as "horned", thus you get Michelangelo's statue of Moses sporting horns on his head.

Surface area of Finland 130,681 sq mi, resulting in a lake density of 1.4 lakes/sq mi. Area of Minnesota, 86,943 sq mi, lake density 0.13 lakes/sq mi Area of Ontario, 415,600 sq mi, lake density 0.6 lakes/sq mi. This may, in part, explain the high concentration of people with Finnish...

I recently watched a video made by a a couple visiting Finland, and they made a comment on how Finland was known as the "Land of a thousand Lakes", which is a term I've often heard and seen used before. It struck me as a bit incongruous, as the State of Minnesota is the "land of 10,000 lakes"...

If you show up at the polls wearing any political slogans what-so-ever, you'll be asked to remove them or leave, as this is considered electioneering, which is not allowed at polling places.

New information that has come to light during the investigation is suggesting that there might not have been any political motivation behind the shooting. Apparently, photos and itineraries were found for a number of high profile people. This would seem to increase the chance that Trump was a...

There is a whole segment of the voting public that don't identify as either "Democrat" or "Republican". Thus the two "sides" alone aren't going to decide this. So while there are many for which this conviction will make no difference, there are those where it will, and in a close race, this...

Doubtful. The people that think that way already plan on voting for him, and would consider him a martyr just by virtue of his being prosecuted. The latest polls indicate that among the yet undecided voters, a conviction hurts him. So while it will invigorate his base, that is not likely to...

From my understanding, the jurors will remain anonymous unless they themselves decide to come forward.

Trump said that Putin would release the prisoner only for him and that he could get him released with a phone call, but he won't unless he wins the presidency. He even said that he could get them released the day after the election. So while this doesn't rise to the level of a something he has...

Mummo, or Isoäiti in Finnish. The later translates as "Big mother"

No, it is a hypothesis, or it could be a postulate, or an observation used in the formation of a theory. A theory is a model that attempts to explain the evidence. Kepler's Laws of planetary motion were based on observation, but were not a theory, as they offered no explanation for them...

My grandparents, by comparison, all died roughly 4000 mi from where they were born. That's "straight line"(geodesic) distance. Being as they were all born in the 1800's, the route they took was more like 5800 miles by land and sea.

The issue here is treating spacetime like it is a material substance. It isn't. Even when they use terms like the "fabric" of spacetime, it is meant more in the lines as when someone uses the term " the fabric of modern society" It refers to a more intangible concept. And spacetime "warping"...
