In the 1980s and '90s, a push to lower the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit for getting behind the wheel took the country by storm. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) was formed in 1980 ...
Drunk driving is the act of operating a motor vehicle with the operator's ability to do so impaired as a result of alcohol consumption, or with a blood alcohol level in excess of the legal limit. [1] For drivers 21 years or older, driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher is illegal.
The universal form of the bound was originally found by Jacob Bekenstein in 1981 as the inequality [1] [2] [3], where S is the entropy, k is the Boltzmann constant, R is the radius of a sphere that can enclose the given system, E is the total mass–energy including any rest masses, ħ is the reduced Planck constant, and c is the speed of light.
The Multi-Unit Space Transport And Recovery Device or MUSTARD, usually written as Mustard, was a reusable launch system concept that was explored by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) during the mid-1960s. Mustard was intended to operate as a multistage rocket, the individual stages comprising near-identical spaceplane modules.
If approved, Senate Bill 5067 would make Washington the second state to lower its per se blood alcohol concentration, or BAC.) limit for driving, from .08% to .05%. Utah was the first, with its ...
1975 – Tau lepton found; 1975 – Abraham Pais and Sam Treiman: Introduction of the Standard Model of particle physics term; 1977 – Bottom quark found; 1977 – Anderson localization recognised (Nobel prize in 1977, Philip W. Anderson, Mott, Van Fleck) 1980 – Strangeness as a signature of quark-gluon plasma predicted [10]
Through the 1970s and 1980s, most cosmologists accepted the Big Bang, but several puzzles remained, including the non-discovery of anisotropies in the CMB, and occasional observations hinting at deviations from a black-body spectrum; thus the theory was not very strongly confirmed.
The expansion of the universe is the increase in distance between gravitationally unbound parts of the observable universe with time. [1] It is an intrinsic expansion, so it does not mean that the universe expands "into" anything or that space exists "outside" it.
