No, the rest is occupied by the electron cloud. That's what makes it an atom and not just a proton, after all.

And, like all scientific theories, it is testable. To test the theory of gravity, go jump off a tall building and tell me how many bones you break.

They don't, and I'm baffled as to why you would think that.

Actually, nothing scales up to much degree at all. The strength of an object scales with the square of its size, but the mass of an object scales with the cube of its size. As an object is made larger, its mass increases faster than its strength, and eventually will be too large to hold itself together. For very large masses, no object made of matter can support itself.

The Fibonacci sequence has nothing whatsoever to do with it.

What, so if the government says something, that automatically makes the opposite true? Well, the government also says that falling from high places is dangerous, hence the regulations requiring guard rails. Perhaps this is another government lie? All the more reason to perform the gravity experiment.

Orbit is in outer space, by definition. You can't achieve orbit while within Earth's (or any other planet's) atmosphere, as the air resistance will slow you down and send you plummeting down to the surface.

That was over two thousand years ago. Get with the times.

Leaving aside the fact that atoms aren't 99.9% empty space, it is impossible to construct a large hollow object out of anything with mass, as gravity will cause the structure to collapse in on itself.

You can only imagine NASA's disappointment when their solar-powered satellites never worked. Shoulda stuck with nuclear power.



Oh wait, never mind.

Transaction fees are variable (set by miners), and can change to meet changing economic conditions. For example, the minimum transaction fee has already been reduced several times due to rising bitcoin prices.

Also, the fee is not a tax. It is neither set by a government nor paid to a government. It is a payment for a service, set by the people providing that service, in a competitive market. Miners cannot set their fees higher than what people will pay if they expect to make a profit.

I've already forgotten. How do you find a lost TV remote when it's not stuck to an air vent like usual?

Of course not. More importantly, neither does Russia. Do people honesty think Russia would let the U.S. get away with that?

No, just someone with too much time on his hands. Besides, in the long term Bitcoin is going to the moon, so I figure I should know what to expect when we get there.

Actually, it wouldn't. Zero gravity (freefall if you want to get technical) or low gravity (if you're on the moon) causes your internal fluids to be redistributed towards your head, resulting in (among other symptoms) swollen sinuses, causing many foods and beverages to taste rather bland in space.

Your blood would not evaporate in the vacuum of space, as your blood is pressurised by your circulatory system (and if it isn't, you're already dead). Nor would you freeze; although your sweat, tears, and saliva would instantly evaporate, the heat loss is insignificant.

Okay, we won't listen to you, then.

If the wallet is encrypted, what your suggesting is completely impossible (it was impossible anyway, but with an encrypted wallet it's especially impossible). An encrypted wallet cannot (and I mean "cannot" in the sense that "it's physically impossible") access its own private keys without the correct passphrase (which is never stored and must be entered by the user every time).

The reason it was impossible anyway is because peers cannot "grab" arbitrary data from the client; they can only obtain data that the client purposefully transmits. The client never transmits sensitive data, nor is there even any way for a peer to request that it do so.

That's what they want you to think.

Where's the leaderboard? Am I winning?

Prediction sent. If nothing drastic happens to the price (which is a moderately-sized if), I'll be picking up -0.2772+1.5843+3.3145=4.6216 points for round 3, boosting my score to a total of 6.3274. Assuming of course, that nobody dropped out in round 2, which affects the round 3 scores and which I have no way of knowing about because we still haven't got the leaderboard...

Yes, it is. Look at his username.

How should we know? We haven't got the scores yet.

No, it just means they're not allowed to operate on fractional reserves.

Don't worry, Ellen DeGeneres has the perfect solution!

Viruses aren't technically alive, so I find the claim that a nasal spray can kill them highly dubious. Peer-reviewed scientific studies or it didn't happen.

Despite its drawbacks, butt storage is a great way of hiding things from the TSA when travelling.
