Remembering one of two Original Star Trek series, Spock said that the past couldn't be change, Yet in the other one a science ship mate made it back to the time of WW II and the Enterprise was No longer there in there time  on that planet that had a Rock WormHole.
Normally Star Trek seems to based on some sort of logic, but the time travel in "Star Trek: Enterprise" seems to have no logic at all, or  am I just missing it?  Example: If they go back in time to change something it takes time until it has any effect in the future? I can't see any reason for this.

Considering phrases of the form "I left [the] X", what causes some words to need a "the" before them, while it sounds awkward with others?

At the completion of our gaming session I contested the application of the Two-Weapon fighting rules as it seemed unbalanced.  Once I got home I reviewed the PHB and various RPGStack and Reddit but couldn't find a concrete answer.  My interpretation of the PHB Reference rules below is that although any class/character can technically wield a weapon in their off-hand, only those who have been granted a Bonus Action for which no explicit bonus action have been defined would be allowed to actually attack.  So in the case of a Rogue the Bonus Actions granted under Cunning Action allow for specific actions (none of which are attack).  The alternate interpretation would be the rules under Two-Weapon Fighting, perhaps it should be written      you receive a bonus action to attack with a different light melee weapon that you’re holding in the other hand.   This would, in my opinion, explicitly grant the Bonus Action to any character/class who is Two-Weapon Fighting.  After thorough review does it boil down to application of the rules-as-written and determining a house-rule to apply in our campaign?    References  Page 189 of PHB : Bonus Actions  Various class features, spells, and other abilities let you take an additional action on your turn called a bonus action. The Cunning Action feature, for example, allows a rogue to take a bonus action.      You can take a bonus action only when a special ability, spell, or other feature of the game states that you can do something as a bonus   action. You otherwise don’t have a bonus action to take.   You can take only one bonus action on your turn, so you must choose which bonus action to use when you have more than one available. You choose when to take a bonus action during your turn, unless the bonus action’s timing is specified, and anything that deprives you of your ability to take actions also prevents you from taking a bonus action.  Page 96 of PHB  A Rogue receives cunning action at level 2, You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat.      This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.   Page 195 of PHB  Two-Weapon Fighting (Combat Rules)  When you take the Attack action and attack with a light melee weapon that you’re holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different light melee weapon that you’re holding in the other hand. You don’t add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative. If either weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon, instead of making a melee attack with it.  Page 165 of PHB  Dual Wielder  (Feat)  You master fighting with two weapons, gaining the following benefits:   You gain a +1 bonus to AC while you are wielding a separate melee weapon in each hand. You can use two-weapon fighting even when the one-handed melee weapons you are wielding aren't light. You can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one. Why is it disadvantageous in graduate admissions to have a higher degree? indicates that holders of a master’s degree are held to higher standards when it comes to graduate admissions. The stated requirements for some graduate programs () also outright exclude applicants with doctoral degrees. These seem to be saying that holding a higher degree prior to application is a disadvantage (a fatal one in the case of a PhD). This also applies to private universities: Stanford  (at least in computer science); .  I don't understand why:   If there are two applicants, Alice and Bob, who have achieved largely similar things, it seems logical that both should have a roughly equal chance of being admitted. However, based on JeffE's answer, if Alice has a Masters degree while Bob does not, it's Bob that gets admitted instead of Alice. JeffE's answer even indicates that if Alice has achieved slightly more than Bob, it's still Bob that gets admitted.  If graduate admissions is looking for students that are capable of succeeding in its program, then Alice should be more likely to succeed than Bob since she's already had some experience of graduate study. This should be even more the case if Alice already has a PhD – if she can do it once, she should be able to do it again.    JeffE's answer indicates that since Alice has had more opportunities than Bob, she should also be held to higher standard. However it should also be true that Alice has already achieved what Bob has yet to and in fact might not be able to achieve. Further, JeffE's answer seems to be saying that Alice should do the academic equivalent of financial engineering and pass her graduate-level courses &amp; thesis without getting a master’s degree even if she qualifies for it, which sounds silly.  As for applicants with PhD degrees, my first guess would be that this is because , and the university is acting in the applicant's best interests. However if this is the case, then this is effectively telling the applicant "I know what you want better than you do", which also sounds silly. UC Berkeley's requirements also seem to be saying that if someone with a CV worthy of a tenured position were to apply for a PhD student position, the university will say "no" even though it's clearly better in their best interests (in terms of research output) to say "yes".   Presumably I'm misunderstanding something because if this behavior were irrational, it would already have been changed. What am I missing?  EDIT: I wonder if things are different in programs where the student is involved in research directly without spending time on coursework? Can I use Gödel numbers to make a proof? Wrong favicon displayed on Google's mobile SERP For some time now, Google has been displaying a website's favicon next to its title on the mobile SERP according to    But, for one website that I am managing, it is showing a completely different favicon. You can see it if you open the  on a mobile device, I am talking about the orange one:  I am referring to the top result.  As you can see on the , the favicon has been added correctly using the proper meta tag:   &lt;link  rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="https://www.hoofgroove.ch/pub/media/favicon/default/favicon.ico" /&gt;   This is according to .  Also, all the browsers are displaying the correct favicon, which is not the orange one but the black&amp;red one.

Field extensions and algebraic/transcendental elements Let $E$ be an extension of field $F$, and let $\alpha, \beta \in E$. Suppose $\alpha$ is transcendental over $F$ but algebraic over $F(\beta)$.   Show that $\beta$ is algebraic over $F(\alpha)$.  Okay, first questions: What does the notation $F(\alpha)$ and $F(\beta)$ mean? And being transcendental means it solves no equations with rational coefficients, but what does it mean for a field? Inverse Fourier transform of Gaussian I need to calculate the Inverse Fourier Transform of this Gaussian function:  $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} exp(\frac{-k^2 \sigma^2}{2})$  where $\sigma &gt; 0$, namely I have to calculate the following integral: $\int{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} \exp(\frac{-k^2 \sigma^2}{2})} \exp(ikx) dk$.  How can I do that? If I am not wrong (in which case please correct me) the result should be $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma}exp(\frac{-x^2}{2\sigma^2})$...but I don't know how to get there!

If so, why does Adobe illustrator say I don't have the font when I open it? If I have an Adobe Illustrator file, and I save it as a .pdf - it looks like the fonts are included in that .pdf file. (I think this because when I open the .pdf file in Reader it looks the way I expect it to.) However, when I open this same .pdf file on a different computer (or workstation) with Adobe Illustrator - Illustrator says I 'don't have the font I need'. This doesn't make sense to me because - If I can see the document correctly in reader, I would expect it to be there for Illustrator as well. Can someone explain why this is? I am asking because saving a file as a .pdf for print seems to handle most font troubles that come up - but sometimes I need to change the text in a file before I print it... I am hoping there is a way to open a .pdf so that .ai recognizes that the font is in there.  But I am unsure on the details of saving as a .pdf in Illustrator, how fonts are handled, and what is possible. the numer of partial function between two sets in combinatoric way How to compute $k$'th roots $\!\bmod n$?
