At one point Gravitational theory was bedrock, then low and behold after enough review and a more complete understanding of the universe, it is now theorized that what we see as gravity is simply the interaction of mass, space and time.

Perhaps the White Rose, in the limited space available in their leaflets, could do no more than raise the basic point that the Nazi policy of extermination of the Jews was of a different kind altogether from the earlier anti-Semitism, which for all its enormities would never have suggested that the solution to the so - called «Jewish problem in Europe» should be mass murder.

A favored size for Planet X emerged — between five and 15 Earth masses — as well as a preferred orbit: antialigned in space from the six small objects, so that its perihelion is in the same direction as the six objects» aphelion, or farthest point from the sun.

The ability to shock on various levels, is an obviously powerful tool, and if a filmmaker could somehow consistently find his or her way to that magic point for a mass of viewers, the work would approach a particularly dangerous and effective space.

On Columbia Glacier, we used a measurement network with a maximum density of 375 points / km2, and a maximum spacing between points of 90 m and a mean spacing of 45 m. Annual mass balance (1984 - 1998) was typically determined on Columbia Glacier from a measurement network with a spacing of 187 points / km2 (Pelto, 1996), and a mean spacing of 50 m.

Cogley (1999) pointed out that with a measurement network spaced at 50 - 100 m apart the largest source of uncertainty is the error in actual point mass balance measurement (> 0.05 m), and sampling error is negligible.

A data point — such as the invariance of the speed of light wrt different inertial frames of reference leading to astonishing ideas of time, space and mass.

This illustrates two vital points that are often overlooked: 1) the LWIR escaping into space comes NOT directly from the surface (except in the «window» wavelengths) but from a diaphanous mass of gases, and 2) there is NO additional thermal energy produced by the «greenhouse effect.»
