Scientists use microwave radiation to recover copper from old VVF power cables
  • Is it time consuming though? You could probably feed it through a cutting jig at tens of centimeters per second or more, and as the other commenter said you have to cut the cables into small pieces anyways for the microwave processing.

  • WYR: it's your favourite garlic bread btw
  • To all the people choosing the garlic bread, have you considered the vampire girlfriend might be able to make you immortal by making you a vampire?

    Of course being immortal sounds like it would massively suck, garlic bread all the way!

  • We need libre paste, people.
  • I ran into this just the other day, a site wouldn't let me paste my password into the "confirm password" field when signing up. Had to resort to editing the HTML properties because there's no way I'm manually typing in my long-ass randomly generated password.

  • In principle, could gravity be used to send a information from within a black hole's event horizon?
  • As I understand it, a very massive object sent into a black hole would, after passing the event horizon, be undetectable; the black hole would simply appear to have more mass. The gravitational field of the object doesn't disappear suddenly, it just gradually merges with the black hole's gravitational field until they appear as one mass.

    With a big enough object, you'd get some gravitational waves and warping of the event horizon as it enters, but you'd still be unable to send information out because the object's energy and momentum is conserved. So, regardless of what you do on the inside of the black hole, the resulting gravitational waves will look the same from outside. (Think about a spacecraft deflecting its trajectory; it has to throw mass in the opposite direction with an equal amount of momentum).
