The Roche Limit specifically applies to loose, gravitationally-bound bodies.
Chemically bonded objects e.g. solid rock or a huge diamond could approach closer to the planet without breaking up due to tidal forces, depending on the bulk material strength and melting point.
What is this trend of the headline, sub-headline and first sentence being totally identical? It feels like I've been violated somehow, like a mild brainwashing. One less reason to click on the article link.
That could also help tech giants build even larger/more capable models cheaply. Ideally there would be a hard ceiling of LLM capability that even massive amounts of hardware couldn't exceed, allowing inexpensive hardware to catch up.
It would be interesting to see this concept extended into time-lapse video. The day/night segments of the video could shift to the right with the passage of time.
Maybe this is why Apple is focusing so much on health sensors. It's a bit of a stretch but it could be argued that Apple's fall detection and heart rate monitoring is required for the safety of the user.
Project Orion uses a pusher plate mounted on giant springs to spread out the force of each explosion. If the system is designed correctly it should result in constant acceleration.
LASIK is known for causing night vision difficulties e.g. bright lights causing starburst patterns or halos. This can happen when the pupil widens to the point where light is entering the eye from both the corrected and uncorrected areas of the cornea. I think the issue decreases over time as the eye heals but in some cases it can remain as a long-term side effect.
