Ciro Santilli 34 Updated 2024-12-15 +Created 2024-09-15I like the Falun Mine for two reasons:

- it is the Chinese version of the Scunthorpe problem due to a naming conflict with Falun Gong, a censored new religion that was banned in China

Alec Guinness Interview on Parkinson Talk Show about Star Wars 1977
. Source. George Lucas just orally gave him away an extra 0.5% on top of his 2% of the revenue one day before the release. Then later on when asked for written proof, he lowered it to 0.25%.
What an interview. The way he carries himself. The way he speaks. It's so charming!!!
Alec Guinness interview on his role in Star Wars
. Source. First postulated by Einstein in 1917 on his paper Zur Quantentheorie der Strahlung" ("On the Quantum Theory of Radiation") as a more elegant way to rederive Planck's law as part of the Einstein coefficients framework.
At that time there was no other physical evidence supporting the existence of the concept except that it looked more elegant.
