They are, in my opinion, the most outstanding figures ( among the youngest ones ), and the following must be borne in mind about them: Bukharin is not only a most valuable and major theorist of the Party ; he is also rightly considered the favourite of the whole Party, but his theoretical views can be classified as fully Marxist only with great reserve, for there is something scholastic about him ( he has never made a study of the dialectics, and, I think, never fully understood it )...

The results are expected to have important implications for particle physics and cosmology, due to a theoretical Greisen – Zatsepin – Kuzmin limit to the energies of cosmic rays from long distances ( about 160 million light years ) which occurs above 10 < sup > 20 </ sup > eV because of interactions with the remnant photons from the big bang origin of the universe.

It shows how astronomical observations prove the inverse square law of gravitation ( to an accuracy that was high by the standards of Newton's time ); offers estimates of relative masses for the known giant planets and for the Earth and the Sun ; defines the very slow motion of the Sun relative to the solar-system barycenter ; shows how the theory of gravity can account for irregularities in the motion of the Moon ; identifies the oblateness of the figure of the Earth ; accounts approximately for marine tides including phenomena of spring and neap tides by the perturbing ( and varying ) gravitational attractions of the Sun and Moon on the Earth's waters ; explains the precession of the equinoxes as an effect of the gravitational attraction of the Moon on the Earth's equatorial bulge ; and gives theoretical basis for numerous phenomena about comets and their elongated, near-parabolic orbits.

A good example of the contempt the first democrats felt for those who did not participate in politics can be found in the modern word ' idiot ', which finds its origins in the ancient Greek word, idiōtēs, meaning a private person, a person who is not actively interested in politics ; such characters were talked about with contempt, and the word eventually acquired its modern meaning.

It has relatively high compressive strength, of about 170 MPa ( 1800 kgf / cm² ) but poor tensile strength of 104 – 121 MPa and very low shear stress strength ( 51. 6 MPa ), meaning it resists pushing forces well, but not pulling or torsional forces.
