  1. In my University we had a research team that did a comparison between Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica. We compared up to 20 different Wiki pages all of various fields by sending them to professors that specialized to those fields. Out of the 20 that were reviewed by the professors, the Encyclopedia Britannica had 3 errors, and Wikipedia had 4. You can say the probability of Wikipedia being incorrect is a bit higher, but not entirely wrong. I trust Wiki, but I made a habit to check, double check and triple check the sources cited at the bottom of the Wiki page before accepting it to be true whenever I need information for a paper. Oh Joe, that is a funny story by the way .. haha
  2. roothness of the paper (roothness = roughness + smoothness)
  3. Personally, I started with Java and Python. They were really simple and to the point kind of programming. I moved onto C and then C++ ... after and found those to be really really easy after I finished Java and Python. Maybe that is because I had a background in programming already, but most people who took up learning C or C++ first told me that it is a hard language to get if you do it without any programming knowledge. But I'd say do Java/Python first before you do any other languages. They are easy and give you an idea of how to program.
  4. This video will make anyone love astronomy ... Tell me what you were thinking as you got further and further away. I believe that the term is Syzygy. Wikipedia defines - "Syzygia, adjective of Syzygy, describes the alignment of three or more celestial bodies in the same gravitational system along a straight line"
