New bandwidth has recently been conquered by the unfathomable manipulations of the order. It is close at hand. Loyal members, as well as disloyal -- of course we know who you are, did you really think that you could get away with it, you poor fools -- are invited to colonize it. Do your best to maintain local cover. The local moderators may not have installed the latest implant updates.

And get in now while you still can!

And here I was thinking this topic would be about the old Sid Meier game.

That game was pretty fun, at least until the computer wouldn't let you make any more units. Then it was a little frustrating. But that took a while.

Oh yeah, and &#x10001 &#x1001A.

Would a machine designed to allow you to write in ancient scripts more quickly be a Linear B accelerator?

I hear that Apple has released an ancient language translator as part of the new and improved OS X. They call it Rosetta or something.

No, but a linear accelerator B factory would be fun. I think maybe somebody has made one already. It has to ramp particles up to enough kinetic energy to be on resonance for producing B mesons in collions. B mesons are nice because they are, to a first approximation, bound states of one b quark and one b antiquark. Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is perturbative for the heavy quarks, so for them it makes predictions we can understand and test. (This is unlike the situation for the light u and d quarks that compose protons and neutrons, for which QCD still makes nice cartoons to show the public, but is actually just a whistle in the dark as far as quantitative science goes.) So B physics is a good testbed for QCD.

At least the Nth volume would go to zero size in the limit where N became infinite.
