Yeah, the low local 'interstellar density' may offer one explanation for the old 'Where Are They' conundrum. If FTL is impracticable, perhaps the only ways to travel (*) are centuries-slow solar sails or nimble Bussard ram-jets. Of course, to make the latter work, you need a really juicy interstellar density. Mixing metaphors shamelessly, those supernovas' hot bubbles may mean we're in this galactic-arm's...

I like the silicone idea and had thought about whether it would crack again in the same place in another quake or if it was just flawed in construction...it isn´t a load bearing wall though as it is on the second story and sits just inside the patio on the street side..the columns bear the load on the exterior of the patio on the corners and every six feet long.

Uh, remember the pea-souper smogs before UK went 'smokeless' ?? nik aka......... I remember them well, as I was living in London at the time. When the Smokeless bill was enacted it cured some of the problems. However, we have come a long way to now, when trust is no longer given to Politicians. I doubt we ever could trust them, it was an illusion, but one we were happy to accept at the time. Now all has been exposed and now we see...

.....That's one area I've notably avoided. There are so many audio formats as too be laughable. My basic instincts tells me it would be best to format
the memory to equal standards though, before selecting file type and compressing it. Currently I just use memory sticks, it's simple enough for most
devices. I'm craving a high performance car unit, so I suppose I'll find out soon enough....

Wolf,
We know that islands in the ocean can pop up where none was before.
And in some cases, they end up as a chain of islands. The explanation for that is that the hot spot in Earth's mantle stays put, as the sea bed shifts
above it.
So an island is form, the sea bed drifts away, and the hot spot beneath then forms another island, and another, and another ...
But it stands to reason....

Not so long ago that NO extrasolar planets were known. Peter van de Kamp & co were the only workers in the field for almost half the twentieth century.
They really thought they'd spotted planets around a couple of nearby stars. IIRC, tragically, their heroic astrometry was flawed by old repairs to
telescope mount. They had to retract their claims. That scared folk off.
Then, in 1995, the ...

Thought experiment:
A steel coil spring (helical spring) is heavily compressed; thus building up potential energy.
The compressed spring is then locked in the compressed position with material that's impervious to acid.
Then the spring and compression material is all dropped into a vat of powerful acid that can dissolve steel.
The acid can't attack ...

JS,
Thanks for posting those. Very interesting, including the one of the little girl leading the headless man by the hand.
Engineering is so interesting. It's applied science. It affects us all.
