Genghis Khan demanded reparations, which the Shah refused to pay. Genghis retaliated with a force of 200,000 men, launching a multi-pronged invasion. brb, gonna go try this in King of Dragon Pass

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate However recent studies have show that the Retina actually juggles when processing information. In 2014, it was shown during research that the human eye could see at various frame rates varying from person to person. [10] In 2011, written on a forum was said that the retina takes about 5 to 12 milliseconds for an electrical impulse to fire and reset, 100 to 1000 rods depending on where in the retina you are, can fire every 7 milliseconds on average or around 140 fps.[11] Another website said that the human eye on average could see up to 150 fps. It is still unsettled on what the average "frame rate" of the human eye is, but so far based on recent studies within the last decade, show the human eye seeing anywhere between 75 to 150 fps with an average of about 140 fps. 11. http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=895707

iirc it's generally accepted that our consciousness "exists" with a constant "processing" delay of about 50-100ms, meaning we never actually experience the present

your brain rearranges sensory input to synchronize it, your present is cobbled together based on best guesses and processing delays

your inferior colliculus runs an echo cancelling algorithm that prevents you from discriminating close together sounds. your visual system is predicated on lies. look at your thumb at arm's length, that's the only part of your visual field you see in full color and definition. to compensate, your eye darts around to fill in a mosaic of temporally distinct afterimages and not the hyper hd 3000hz full field you thought.

idk if its true but somebody told me once that deja vu is like your brain writing to the wrong hard drive sector. so your memories are out of order until you do a quick defrag or something? it is a computer analogy

this page isn't from wikipedia, but it should be: http://www.st-v-sw.net/Obsidian/January/torpedoes.htm The torpedo most pervasively used by the Federation in Star Trek is the Photon Torpedo. The torpedo warhead consists of a total of 1.5kg of anti-matter plus 1.5kg of conventional matter, totalling 3kg of matter. The detonation thus consists of the violent annihilation of the matter by the anti-matter. From the famous Einstein equation we can deduce that the maximum possible yield of such a detonation is 2.7e17 Joules (64.4 megatons). We know that the weapon is not 100% efficient, and that in fact the yield is closer to 48 megatons, but for this exercise (since we want to give Star Trek every advantage) we will use the theoretical yield of 64.4 megatons. ... The most widely used torpedo in Star Wars is the Proton Torpedo. Others include various Concussion torpedoes. Although the yield of proton torpedoes are unknown, the figures generally bandied about range from 1 kiloton to 100 kilotons, with a few interpretations claiming five to ten megatons. According to Curtis Saxton all descriptions of proton torpedoes indicate that it is a fusion device. The smallest fusion detonation that modern technology can hope to induce would be of the order of 100 kilotons, and it would take significant scientific techniques of which we are unaware to make the detonation any smaller than that. However, in the inetersts of making an absolutely fair comparison I will use the MINIMUM claimed figure of 1 kiloton. ...

i remember reading somewhere that the designer of some star wars book that laid out the technical specifications of a bunch of ships specifically chose energy values so as to make it so the smallest, piddliest ship in the star wars universe could completely destroy the most powerful star trek ships
