P.O. Box 797 Sonoita, AZ 85637-0797 June 19, 2000 Prof. David Chalmers Philosophy Department Room 213, Social Sciences Building University of Arizona Tucson, AZ 85721-0027 Dear Prof. Chalmers: Well, here's another one from Mr. At-Least-I-Thought-Of-It-Independently. ... So as a thought experiment, let's imagine that instead of having our matter transporter actually move matter, what it moves is information. ... That will make it necessary to move the matter to move consciousness. ...

... 1996: . Using the original method of diagnostics of the Solar corona structure by the effects of radio wave refraction (space-frequency tomography) in the wavelength range of 2-30 cm on the RATAN-600 telescope, the electron density, emission measure and porosity of coronal loops was measured for the first time regardless of the optical data. It is shown that most of the matter is concentrated in the super-dense loops, occupying less than 10% of the total coronal volume. ... Archive . ...

... A comparison of the computed and experimental relations F max ( H), as well as comparison of drift scans of point sources across different horizontal cross-sections of the BP with the corresponding computed cross-sections were made. ... The drift scans of the point source 3С84 (H=87 o ) at the wavelength 7.6 cm across the horizontal cross-sections of the BP (black lines) and the computed horizontal cross-sections of the BP corresponding to them (red lines). ...

... Recent applications of multi-spectral imaging in auroral research are combining these dimensions, providing a new perspective on the poorly understood physics of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. ... He is an Associate Editor for the Journal of Geophysical Research. ... Please join us for a pre-meeting dinner discussion at Changsho, 1712 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA at 6:00pm before the meeting. ...

... These trajectories have an initial flight from the Earth to a large distance (of about 1.5 million km), the following passive flight to the Moon's orbit, an approach to the Moon with a decrease of an energy of a particle (spacecraft) selenocentric motion to a negative value and the temporary capture in an elliptic orbit of the Moon's satellite. ... Several trajectories of this type are determined. ... Ivashkin V. V. On optimal trajectories of space flight to the Moon in the Earth--Moon--Sun system. ...

... The course is intended to provide an introduction to the field of solar-terrestrial physics to new PPARC postgraduate students (and others) starting work in the fields of solar physics, the solar corona and solar wind, magnetospheric physics and the physics of the upper atmosphere of the Earth. ... The intention is to provide students with an overview of the whole coupled Sun-Earth system. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Have you ever looked at pictures of Saturn's rings and noticed what look like gaps in the rings? ... Gian Domenico Cassini discovered a large gap in Saturn's rings in 1675. Later, an astronomer named Encke discovered a smaller gap near the edge of the rings. ... It was found long ago that an orbit in the Cassini Division, as the large gap is named, has a period almost exactly one-half that of one of Saturn's moons named Mimas. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...
