mircea_popescu: not a bad visual, seeing how little reddit comprehends of numbers
mircea_popescu: and that 4mw figure must be some sort of maximal for shorter distances, i can't imagine putting 4mw through 100km of fiber.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck, how many lux are needed to boil a mol of water ?
mircea_popescu: and missiles fail at an impressive rate for "no reason".
mircea_popescu: the only place where it'd matter would be if the part of wire with high mommentum was lighter than the parts surrounding it. this isn't going to happen.
mircea_popescu: jurov the weight has very little to do with oscillation.
mircea_popescu: the weight of the fiber doesn't really have much to do with it

mircea_popescu: when i was younger i used to fuck this young opera singer chick. she did this trick whereby she'd sing into a glas
