Wouldn’t shooting them into Jupiter be the easiest?

I’m sure I’ve read a few things about what an impact that big bugger has on trajectories in our solar system.

Intuitively I feel like a push towards Jupiter would be easier than a push to get all the way out of the solar system avoiding Jupiter.

My understanding is that current atomic clocks work on changing the state of whole atoms.

Whereas this new method changes the state of part of the nucleus of an atom.

Basically smaller is more precise. However given that current atomic clocks are one second out over something like a billion years I’ve no idea what benefit this extra preciseness will give us.

We’ll probably start noticing really weird shit when we look at time that precisely. That’s generally what’s happened when we get into the quantum scale of things.

Read it again. It’s deformation of the hood latch switch. Not the hood latch.

Thanks for further confirming my point that you’re not reading it correctly

The comments read like a lot of people don’t quite understand the issue.

The bonnet (hood if you insist) latch may not warn a driver if it isn’t secured correctly. If it is secured correctly then it is fine. So it isn’t going to suddenly open.

If the latch isn’t shut correctly and then the sensor doesn’t report this then the bonnet may open unexpectedly.

If they can use a software update to correct the reporting then that’s it fixed.

There’s no issue with the actual latching mechanism. It’s just the sensor for reporting the latching state.

It may be that it currently works on a two value system. i.e a value for correctly latched and a value for not latched. If that’s the case and isn’t just not providing the second valve correctly then a simple software change to only use the latched value would fix this. As any other value or the absence of a value will report it at unlatched.
