You underestimate how small (and therefore many) atoms are…
Caesar’s Last Breath Theory estimates that roughly one molecule of Caesar’s last breath will appear in your next breath.
I believe that theory doesn’t take into account the breakdown and reforming of molecules into component atoms over time, but still…

Or a space key.
But you get two Fn keys next to each other, so it’s got that going for it.

It’s a Chinese proverb akin to the"shoulders of giants" idea.
I thought the “18” was a typo, but the Royal Navy really did put the heaviest gun they ever fielded on a carrier.
Yeah, I mean getting the parents to sign an explicit contract and taking a photo of them signing… They were aiming to do the right thing.

Mmm, high tea… Haven’t played that in a while.
Ok, I guess the idea that the CMB suggests movement relative to a quasi-absolute reference frame really has become disputed lately… I also found this newer paper by the same authors. It’s a pity, I liked the idea.
Well, following the main reference in the Wikipedia page leads to this:
The implied velocity for the Solar System barycenter is v = 369.82 ± 0.11 km s−1, assuming a value T0 = Tγ , towards (l, b) = (264.021◦ ± 0.011◦, 48.253◦ ± 0.005◦) [13]. Such a Solar System motion implies a velocity for the Galaxy and the Local Group of galaxies relative to the CMB. The derived value is vLG = 620 ± 15 km s−1 towards (l, b) = (271.9◦ ± 2.0◦, 29.6◦ ± 1.4◦) [13], where most of the error comes from uncertainty in the velocity of the Solar System relative to the Local Group. The dipole is a frame-dependent quantity, and one can thus determine the ‘CMB frame’ (in some sense this is a special frame) as that in which the CMB dipole would be zero. Any velocity of the receiver relative to the Earth and the Earth around the Sun is removed for the purposes of CMB anisotropy studies, while our velocity relative to the Local Group of galaxies and the Local Group’s motion relative to the CMB frame are normally removed for cosmological studies. The dipole is now routinely used as a primary calibrator for mapping experiments, either via the time- varying orbital motion of the Earth, or through the cosmological dipole measured by satellite experiments.
Do any references suggest this dipole is under debate?
Is it controversial? I thought it was pretty established. In Wikipedia it says:
From the CMB data, it is seen that the Sun appears to be moving at 369.82±0.11 km/s relative to the reference frame of the CMB (also called the CMB rest frame, or the frame of reference in which there is no motion through the CMB). The Local Group — the galaxy group that includes our own Milky Way galaxy — appears to be moving at 620±15 km/s in the direction of galactic longitude ℓ = 271.9°±2°, b = 30°±3°.[88] The dipole is now used to calibrate mapping studies.
Relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background. Seems to be the closest thing to an absolute reference frame.
Citing measurements made at the 1926 Iowa State Fair, they reported that the peak power over a few seconds has been measured to be as high as 14.88 hp (11.10 kW) and also observed that for sustained activity, a work rate of about 1 hp (0.75 kW) per horse is consistent with agricultural advice from both the 19th and 20th centuries […]
Sounds to me like the 1 hp unit is fair, after all.
The unfunnyness is the point, IMO. The sub is an Agrajag-like Cathedral of Hate and masochism dojo rolled into one.
