Usually curved spacetime looks like it causes objects to attract to each other. But is the opposite also possible? For instance if I twist/curve a towel in one direction it is getting smaller but in the other direction it is getting longer (the length of it gets another direction (diagonal or straight). So is it possible that a curveture also creates a repellent effect?
Is  (i.e. repulsive gravity) possible in string theory?  I have read some articles about scientists making assumptions about the existence of anti-gravity, but is it possible in string theory?
I'm looking for a way to have two separate objects be connected, so that when I move the first object the second one will move also. The term parent is used, but how do I parent a object? Vertically align text next to an image? Unknown error: '' ("The cache has no package named wine-staging-i386") Cursor hitting "border" between differently sized monitors I'm not sure if I'll be to explain this right. I have a dual monitor display on Windows 7 and my left monitor (laptop) has a lower vertical resolution than the right monitor (regular LCD monitor). So obviously, if I stick these monitors together, there's a part in the upper-left corner of my LCD monitor where cursor cannot go to the other monitor. I remember there was a trick to make this gap disappear, and make it seem like the monitors are of equal height.  Any suggestions?  By the way, I am also using UltraMon. Here's my code:  x = 1.0 y = 100000.0     print x/y   My quotient displays as 1.00000e-05.  Is there any way to suppress scientific notation and make it display as 0.00001? I'm going to use the result as a string. Temporary locks on answers not showing lock duration Tested on Stack Overflow, Stack Overflow Meta and Pets.

Is this something that hasn't been implemented or is it a bug?  If it hasn't been implemented can we please have it implemented? I have created Gantt chart in lightning table to show bars based on task start date and end date  using Aura, also the completion rate as shown below, I need to show the dependencies between the tasks (shown in red color in screenshot) .    these are the different types of dependencies we can have, any idea how this dependencies can be created in lightning?    In aura we have "lightning:progressBar" to show the progress bar, Do we have any such thing to create this dependencies directly? this is a dynamic table if we try to create this dependencies  line by line, its difficult bcoz we are not sure about the position of next bar, I am not looking for code to implement this, Just some thoughts to discuss on the solution, what approach can be taken. How do I boot to a command line interface instead of a GUI? Hi I have ubuntu server 10.04 installed and I also installed the following:  su aptitude install xorg xfce4 aptitude install &lt;name of GUI browser, I use firefox&gt; aptitude install gedit aptitude install gnome-terminal   Now when I restart the system it goes to the GUI login, what I am really after is a system that loads the CLI by default and then I can use startx to load the GUI when really necessary. I am trying to learn CLI but I would like to retain access to the GUI for now. And, how can I switch between CLI and GUI anytime? Edit Mail rules manually What characters do I need to escape when using sed in a sh script? Take the following script:  #!/bin/sh sed 's/(127\.0\.1\.1)\s/\1/' [some file]   If I try to run this in sh (dash here), it'll fail because of the parentheses, which need to be escaped. But I don't need to escape the backslashes themselves (between the octets, or in the \s or \1). What's the rule here? What about when I need to use {...} or [...]? Is there a list of what I do and don't need to escape? All of my Firefox add-ons have been disabled suddenly, how can I re-enable them? I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 on an ASUS X401U, and after installation there is no list of wireless connections. I didn't have that problem with an installation on HP.

Device [1814:3290] Font characters displayed as squares in Ubuntu 18.04 Recently, on my Ubuntu 18.04 I have noticed that at least on gnome-calculator and chromium browser the fonts are displayed as squares. I have followed instructions  and , the calculator is fixed, but the problem on chromium still exists when I open a dialog to search for a file.  Not sure if this happens on other applications as well, I haven't checked all my apps, but File managers nemo and nautilus are working fine.  Also, before few months ago, I have included some windows fonts for my libre office shown . I used the copy (cp) method, not the link (ln -s). But, was working fine until yesterday. Haven't done any major change or update, at least on my Linux partition (dual boot). But, I don't think that this has anything to do with that.  Any idea how can I fix this issue?  . Why do neural networks need so many training examples to perform? A human child at age 2 needs around 5 instances of a car to be able to identify it with reasonable accuracy regardless of color, make, etc. When my son was 2, he was able to identify trams and trains, even though he had seen just a few. Since he was usually confusing one with each other, apparently his neural network was not trained enough, but still.  What is it that artificial neural networks are missing that prevent them from being able to learn way quicker? Is transfer learning an answer? Recovery of deleted folders in home folder By accident I've removed some folders (they were empty) in my home folder. I've created a new ones but they doesn't have proper icons etc... how can I recreate them step by step? Energy conservation and interference I have a problem with energy conservation in case of interfering waves.  Imagine two harmonic waves with amplitudes $A$. They both carry energy that is proportional to $A^2$, so the total energy is proportional to $2A^2$. When they interfere, the amplitude raises to $2A$, so energy is now proportional to $4A^2$ and bigger than before.  The equivalent question is what happens to the energy with the superposition of two waves that interfere destructively.  Also, if someone could comment on the statement about this problem in my physics book (Bykow, Butikow, Kondratiew):      The sources of the waves work with increased power during the interference because they feel the wave from the other source. What is a lambda (function)? Travel to Australia with new passport (with visa in old passport) I was granted a visa to Australia few months ago. I’d like to travel to Australia in few days. However, I’ve just renewed my passport and I don’t have enough time to inform them about my passport renewal. Can I travel to Australia by carrying both my old and my new passports?
