Could a One-Dimensional "String" hold these balls together?
Is the entire universe actually based on strings, representative of 10, 11, 12 dimensions ?
And another universal law...
Computer wizards do not have to be kids ! There has been
a common misconception, especially in the IT industry that only youngsters can understand the new technology.
As Scotty expressed
on the original Star Trek, "You cannot change the laws of
physics!". Everything still works the same way it always did. It’s
just smaller and faster now. Any company that misses that point
is probably fated to go the way of the dinosaurs.

When Bill Gates says
that open source programming (What the rest of us think of as ‘free’) is "like a Pac-Man that will consume your business",,, Isn’t he really saying that he is afraid it will eat into Microsoft’s business and possibly hurt their attempt at monopoly? First Shot in a War

While you are sleeping, or getting a sandwich, or at work... Your computer can be helping the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence process data. Software to link up your computer IS NOW AVAILABLE for Windows & MAC. Click on the SETI@HOME icon
to check out their page. [I’m running it on one of my computers. It will run in place of a screen-saver, if you want, but it runs a lot slower than if you just let it run in the background all the time.]

As a small boy I was intrigued by the stars and am pleased that at this stage in my life, I can finally afford to enjoy this pastime, but just as in every hobby, one tends to keep wanting bigger and better toys. I currently have a Meade 10" LX-100 type scope (which has now been replaced by the LX-50), but would like an LX-200 (the one that has the built-in star charts) or an even bigger telescope... My current scope is a 2500mm FL (f/10) but with the optional f/6.3 corrector lens, I have the super-wedge tripod and both manual and electric slow-motion controls and setting circles in both axes; keypad hand controller; 2-speed drive controls on both axes*; Electronic Readout for degrees, RA/Dec, and Time; plus elec. focusing and camera attachment. Besides the 9x60 Polar Alignment Scope w/lighted Reticule, I also have a 50mm by 600mm FL with 9mm lighted ret. eyepiece for alignment/guidance as well. I purchased a narrow-band nebular filter (I live in a city) and my eyepieces include a Celestron 45mm PLöSSL (Meade didn’t have one quite like this.), Meade MA25mm, plus 15mm, 9.7mm, 6.4mm Meade Super-PLöSSLs, and a TeleVue 2.5x Barlow Lens *the only
difference I know, between this and the newer LX-50, is the
LX50 has a 4-speed controller.
Here's the best way I can represent the different combinations of Eyepieces, Barlow, and f/6.3 Corrector, I have:
