it's flemington. you're in hell, what do you expect?

j/k

flemington is lovely. if you can afford it.

OMG WANT

The hole drilling is the main thing for me.

That and the fact that front plates aren’t universally required kinda makes it obvious no one is dying over the issue. Cops need to see them when they’re talking you. I don’t drive backward that often.

Same with the front license plate: legally you’re supposed to have plates on front and back of cars in nj but I haven’t installed a front plate on any of my cars since 2009 bc fuck that shit.

I haven’t gotten a ticket for lacking a front plate once. Not once.

Probably did exist but finding out about things like this is not easy, and was even harder in the Stone Age before widespread internet.

*contextual relative to the object you're trying to escape.

you need more speed to escape from the gravity of the earth than the moon.

the escape velocity to exit the solar system is really, really high, because you're trying to escape the pull of the sun itself. to date i think we have only launched 4 probes that have achieved the solar system's escape velocity (pioneer 10/11, voyager 1/2). it's possible the new horizons craft has reached the escape velocity for the solar system, it's certainly truckin'.

my goth band did a cover of Millenium wayyyyy back in the day, we were very young and not terribly good at that point, so you'll never hear it.

they have some stellar post-80s albums as well.

pandemonium is pretty great as a comback album with youth returning

the self titled album from 2003 or so is fantastic.

and the most recent album isn't too shabby either! this is band that really has managed to continue to deliver over the years. if anything they've gotten angrier.

Guarantee the solar wind particles reach the ground in mars.

But yeah. UV by far is the main problem.

It’s not just about looking “out there”, a lot of the early-universe physics are probed in high energy particle colliders. It’s mostly about understanding quantum effects at that point.

Well strictly speaking a singularity is just a breakdown in the known laws of physics. something has to be down their, we just don’t know really what, or how it behaves.

Why did expansion start? Where did it all come from? What came “before”, to the extent that statement even has any meaning? These questions are at the very bleeding edge of theoretical physics and aren’t really testable yet.

I don’t think I made any statements implying it was breaking any laws of physics?

This is all wrong.

Galaxies are absolutely separating at rates faster than the speed of light. Or more specifically, space between galaxies is expanding faster than the speed of light, Altho the galaxies themselves are still moving at sublight speed. Light moves through this space at the speed of light however, and the furthest things we can see are approximately 13 billion light years away. We see them as they were 13 billion years ago however, “shortly” after the universe stopped being opaque. Those galaxies now however are actually more than 40 billion light years away now, but we haven’t had time to see them yet, for obvious reasons (the universe isn’t that old). The oldest thing we can “see” is the cosmic microwave background radiation - the last signal of the opaque universe which actually makes up a good chunk of radio static you can hear, and emanates from around the 400,000 year old point in the history of the universe.

All of this can be calculated using Einstein GR equations, and others sorted out in the subsequent 50 years.

Without getting into diffEQ, the math works out that all of space time was compressed into the same point (the big bang singularity) approximately 13.8 billion years ago, the total diameter of the universe that we can see now is actually closer to 80bly, but that’s just the part we can see now, the universe could be infinite and we wouldn’t know.

It’s a lot to take in, but you need to remember what we can “see” today is what existed when the light was emitted, not as it is “today”, and the farther away it is, the older that light would be, so the farther back in time you’re looking.

If you’re asking if it’s possible there could be life underground it’s definitely not impossible. Archea on earth lives in similarly extreme environments.

Basically you need at least two conditions to exist: liquid water for chemistry and an energy source. It’s possible. It won’t be very complex, you aren’t going to find a cavern full of dinosaurs, but simple cellular bacteria? It isn’t impossible to imagine conditions that would be compatible with some of the extremophiles that live on earth.

It’s not the lack of oxygen that’s the problem, it’s the surface pressure that is far too low to support liquid water.

…or the lack of an magnetic field to shield against cosmic rays and the solar wind

… or the perchlorate soil

… the freezing temperatures

Anaerobic life lives now. (And life started anaerobic)

That’s nothing new. (And very old)

You’re absolutely right; that’s why there isn’t any oxygen in the atmosphere basically. Among other reasons; oxygen is one of those molecules that doesn’t stick around unless there’s a source.

I think you’re a little confused. The oxidation event happened wayyyyyy before the Carboniferous; at that time atmospheric oxygen was at a historic maximum of 35%; that’s when we had dragonflies the size of eagles. Shit was crazy.

I used to do mars research as an undergraduate and if I recall correctly there was some methane detection on Mars a couple years ago. I don’t know how that got explained but as you said - one doesn’t simply find methane just hanging around without a source that produces it….

The land is probably worth $80k by itself. The building may have some intrinsic value if it’s not so busted as to still be salvageable, but it’s so niche that most people might just want to tear it down, so it could work either way.

As far as I can tell the land isn’t even listed and hasn’t been in years. So it’s really anyone’s guess.

Oh Willingboro. That explains a lot.

Yeah I’m gonna guess maybe $150k tops.

Probably, haha. Location? It’s probably only worth the land value now tho tbh so maybe not. Post your results!

Just as a little anecdote - I was lucky enough to get to do not one but two observing runs at the IRTF at Mauna Kea as an undergrad, and let me tell you, you haven’t experienced dark until you step outside on the summit of Mauna Kea at midnight.

Like locked in a sealed closet dark. Not being able to see your hand in front of your face while outside is a trip, especially for a jersey boy like myself who isn’t used to any kind of true darkness lol. (Also being able to see Andromeda with the naked eye is mind blowing)

Seeing a fighter take off as you pass the airport on the expressway is always a treat. Those fuckers are loud as hell.
