The MOS's basement is apparently a sphere 92 billion light years wide. Who'd have guessed?

They've replaced it with a 1:1 scale model. It's beneath the building.

It's definitely not a locational change, but it does have a direction and "intensity", which drawings often represent as if it were a distance.

The electromagnetic field is a vector field, so it points in a real direction, and that gives us polarization. So as light travels in a straight line, oscillating in intensity between the E and B fields over time, those fields do have a direction, but no distance offset from the beam path.

The other objects themselves move much, much slower than light. So in general, no, we don't see anything weird. There's no way for one object to be in two places over time such that the light from both places reaches us simultaneously, under normal conditions. You'll always see a single image.

There are some exceptions; gravitational lensing can make two images of one object because the light takes two paths, sometimes offset by time. (A supernova we see from one image of a galaxy can appear in another image of it years later.)

Also, the spirals of galaxies that we see nearly edge-on, like Andromeda, are distorted because the light from the far side is delayed by a few hundred thousand years compared to the front. Not exactly smeared, but, that's getting closer to the speeds and scales you'd need to have.

Nope, and this is actually what leads to some of the weirdnesses of entanglement. Since in terms of information, if you have two particles A and B, that are identical, AB and BA are the same states.

Malden had a bad reputation; whenever I told a local I moved there I got lots of shocked looks. But Malden is great! It's friendly, there's lots of great restaurants and shops and stuff, and it is not completely gentrified into oblivion yet.

I've personally seen green and pink meteors that my memory at least recalled as being this vivid. I doubt this image was processed any more than any other night landscape photograph would be.

Depending on prevailing wind direction, they take off and land on different runways and therefore fly over different areas on approach or departure. If you're within 5mi of an airport, that's life.

One of the big things is just, don't underestimate snow and ice. It can be pretty! The first snowfall is a magical experience and you can make hot chocolate and french toast and whatever and enjoy it. But if you're driving or even walking when there's frozen water around, it will not hesitate to ruin your day.

If you don't have experience driving in snow, wait until the roads are clear and dry. We clean up pretty quick after even a big snow storm, so just stay home for a day or two and wait it out. (Be prepared to do that if necessary, btw.) Even if you do know how to drive in the snow, I would still not go out before the plows have a chance to clean up unless it was an absolute emergency. You do not want to get in the way of a plow; they do not stop and they do not feel remorse.

If you're walking, even in the city, you really need some shoes with decent tread. If you try and walk around with sneakers, you will slip and fall on your ass, you will impact the pavement with more force than you thought was possible, and it will hurt for days, in the best case. Worst case you break one of your favorite bones. Give ice due respect.

I use bean's trail model hiking shoes as my day to day shoe. Waterproof version for winter. They're not quite as boot as your standard bean boot, but they keep me warm and dry, and I've never had a problem with traction.

They're like $100, and in the past have lasted me a solid two years of constant use before wearing out, so that seems like decent value to me.

The answer is a little complicated.

• Any object in orbit will pass through the same points in its orbit every time, approximately.
• The Earth is rotating under this path, so except for the special case when the length of the orbit is exactly 24 hours, a different part of the Earth will be under the object each pass.
• The orbit is not perfect. Orbits precess (probably the word you're looking for) for various reasons, because the Earth pulls on them a little differently due to it not being a perfect sphere, because of the sun and moon's gravity, etc. So while it'll pass through just about the same point (in space, not over the ground) each orbit, that can drift over time.
