- 2423: Could Gambling Save Science: Encouraging An Honest Consensus
- ... may worry about judges being biased by bribes or various shared interests and associations. Fortunately, investors get to pick the assets they buy, and therefore the judges they bet on. So they can prefer long-lived judging organizations with reputations for fairness and avoiding scandals, and which use various available means to discourage foul play. Incentives for traders to settle out of court and avoid judging altogether certainly help avoid judging ...
- 2424: Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
- ... replace CFCs. Some of these substitutes are halocarbons, such as the compound HCFC-22, which can replace CFC-12 in refrigeration and air-conditioning. These substitutes are also greenhouse gases, but because they are shorter-lived than the CFCs used now they will have a more limited long-term effect on the atmosphere. Other substitutes that are less harmful than CFC-22 have been developed and tested and are now being ...

- ... trees inside a narrow swath. Because of the narrow damage path which occurs with a roaring sound of a rotor microburst, it has been identified as a tornado by mistake. Microburst wind shears are short-lived (2 to 5 minutes), small scale, intense downdrafts with vertical velocities that exceed 15 meters per second.

Taken to the outdoors to fly, he ...
- 2429: Quarks
- ... is a fraction of that of an electron. Up and down quarks make up protons and neutrons, and can be observed in ordinary matter. Strange quarks can be observed in omega-minus and other short lived subatomic particles which play on part in ordinary matter(1985 Quarks). The interpretation of quarks as physical entities poses two problems. First, sometimes two or three identical quarks have to be in the same quantum ...

- ... The monster, over a period of several months, witnessed a family of cottagers. "They did not appear rich, but they were contented and happy; their feelings were serine and peaceful" -Frankenstein's Monster The family lived in a cabin and knew nothing of their observer or the sciences that created him. Their heat came from a wood stove and their leisure hours were spent listening to stories or music, played by ...
