...says many black students are instead drawn to economics as a major because members of the black community, especially, are encouraged to make money and increase their "prestige...
...crux of the movie's plot, though, is the existence of an elite society whose laws supercede all others. The Skulls' motto is, "A Skull above any other," although they tend to use each other's power and status to advance their own agendas instead of fostering a sense of brotherhood and loyalty. The movie illustrates a fact that many people know already: Groups such as secret societies and their cousin organizations, final clubs, are quickly going the way of the dinosaurs...
...inflation also has implications for the study of cosmic destiny. Among them is that the force that drove the inflationary spasm, sometimes tagged with the Greek letter lambda after its designation in Einstein's general-relativity equations, might not have subsided altogether back when the inflationary hiccup ended. Instead, it might still be there, lurking in empty space and urging expansion along, like an usher politely shooing playgoers back into the theater at intermission's end. Some observations of exploding stars in distant galaxies suggest the presence of just such an ongoing inflationary impulse...
...called initiation points come in. "All earthquakes start in small areas," says William Ellsworth, who has studied quakes in Southern California as a member of the USCG Earthquake Hazards Team. These initiation points can be as small as a foot or as large as a mile or two across. Instead of lubricating 350 miles, it might be possible to concentrate on just eight or 10 miles--costly, but not prohibitive...
...Instead, the perpetuals have become more sophisticated. Most (though not all) now admit their machines are using outside energy--usually via new theories of physics that physicists don't grasp yet. Joseph Newman, for example, a Mississippi inventor, promoted an "Energy Machine" in the 1980s that operated via "gyroscopic particles." More recently, New Jersey inventor Randell Mills has been pushing power from "hydrinos." Still others claim they're tapping the "zero-point energy" that fills all space. The first two are considered nonsensical, and while zero-point energy has a basis in science, using it to run a machine does...
