Mrrzy, I am confused. I had assumed that Penna was an abbreviation of Pennsylvania but, according to Wikipedia: "Since 2018, three states, Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey have banned underage marriages without exception."

It would appear that whichever state you are referring to is, at least, the 4th.

If one of the participants is underage, how can the marriage be legal?
If it is not legal, why is specific legislation required to ban it?
In the case of child marriages, up to what age are people still considered to be a child?

Can a 12 year old get married in the US?
Hell yes with judicial or parental consent, children as young as 10, 11 and 12 have been married in the U.S. in the last couple of decades. When exceptions are taken into consideration, 25 states actually do not have an absolute minimum marriageable age.

In a way I married a 12 year old in that I am 12 years older than my one and only.

"Since 2018, three states, Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey have banned underage marriages without exception."


OK, I should have read the Wekipedia page more thoroughly. I took it that the three states had their bans in place since 2018. In fact, they brought them in at different times and not in the order listed. The page has been recently updated to include Pennsylvania, which is identified further down the page as having brought in the ban this month. Confusion over.

"To ensure that the slice was completely cut, the two pieces of tissue were separated and then rejoined while a clear gap was observed under the surgical microscope," the authors explained in their paper.

"The slow hippocampal periodic activity could indeed generate an event on the other side of a complete cut through the whole slice."

If you think that sounds freaky, you're not the only one. The review committee at The Journal of Physiology – in which the research has been published – insisted the experiments be completed again before agreeing to print the study.

Mrrzy, now imagine not just a slight gap but a distance measured in meters or more in which info is transmitted and received.

Yesterday somebody landed a small airplane on I-470 in the thriving suburb of Lee's Summit, Missouri. FYI - An 'I' road is an interstate freeway, like a motorway in the UK or the Autobahn in Germany. This was in the middle of the afternoon, and the only mishap was that one wing tipped a freeway sign. (The plane had lost one of its two engines.)

Having driven the freeways of my area (Kansas City) I was convinced that most of the drivers don't know what they are doing, but now my hat is off to the drivers who handled this situation so well.

Thanks, Doug. Now I remember encountering "autoroute."

When I thought more about the airplane landing on the freeway, I realized that the common bad habit of driving in tight clumps paid off for once. The pilot managed to line up with empty space between clumps, and the cars behind let the plane in.

Well, I'm sure it was not that simple. The plane could have been going 140 mph, the DH tells me.

I, who always aim to drive between clumps, would have messed it all up. Good thing I avoid driving on the freeway in town.

You call it driving in clumps which is a good observation but bad conclusion.
Traffic actually moves like a WORM stretching and contracting.
Once cars are slowed by cars in front of them a clump forms. The gap behind is thinned out as they play a brief catch up game. Blood even moves in a similar fashion.

Ha. I guess good themes for PHd dissertations are getting rare.

Massless particles must always move at the speed of light unless it passes through mass. Mass can never go as fast as light.
One of the tricks to slowing light to a halt is creating a cloud of nearly motionless atoms at near absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit). This is called a Bose-Einstein condensate.
But everything wants to move. Existence is moot and just an aspect of language.

CAN gravitons which move at the speed of light be slowed down or stopped at absolute zero? If so, anti gravity could be manipulated.
I want an anti gravity car.

Subject: RE: BS: New news *not* about the virus
From: Donuel
Date: 24 May 20 - 06:43 PM

The problem is that gravity may be an emergent force that comes from 2   or more force vectors, which means that gravitons may be only a figment of our imagination.
We tend to think of gravity as an enormous force but it is actually the tinyist.

If so, anti gravity could be manipulated.

Call me simplistic, but.

I predict that if, and it is a big if, we find anti-gravity, we will find negative time, or negative mass. Gravity comes out of how mass interacts with space-time, ne c'est pas?

Asimov wrote a great short story about someone inventing a gravity-less field and putting it, for demo purposes, on a billiards table, asking a rival scientist (poopoo-er) to play. The cue-struck ball took off at the speed of light, punching a hole through the poopoo-ed scientist, because it was actually a mass-less field and things with no mass travel at the speed of light...

Also one about a quantum black hole which punches a microscopic hole with huge tidal effects through another poopoo-ing rival scientist.

Don't poopoo Asimov's science!

Gravity-less conditions to create a null gravity zone (not anti gravity) is possibly not the problem. How does incredible inertia free accelleration work? If you master the inertia free maneuvering thing perhaps gravity wouldn't even matter. Yeah we always refer to warping space as an answer. Now how do you create a confined parastaltic motion in space time and remain in the center of it, like a turd in a space time intestine? Humans can manipulate mass and even turn it into E.
But have we manipulated space? -nope- I have long postulated that black holes generate space and neutrinos like a wild factory. At least it is a good place to start looking.

articles says - Earth's magnetic field is constantly in a state of flux

Pun not intended I would guess. The unit of Tesla is a measure of what we electrical engineers call magnetic flux.

But the South Atlantic anomaly reminds me of Jupiter's red spot. I have seen experiments with rotating inner core with viscous fluids as thin layers and they often produce a single large eddy. And our molten outer cored is just such a system, a viscous layer trapped. And Earths magnetic field is produced by a rotating core we are told.

Well that's my take. Other than the warning that the magnetic pole reversals won't go in one huge flip, it will most likely appear "reversed" in spots, say those that study these things. Timescale long.

We may get a hint of what to expect any day in our life time. The last big coronal mass ejection to hit the Earth was the Carrington Event in 1859 and it wasn't pretty.

A solar storm of this magnitude occurring today would cause widespread electrical disruptions, blackouts and damage due to extended outages of the electrical grid. - bloody coronas and people think the virus is THE big deal!
