The numbers are there just to help you - at the end of the day you've still got to make the decision.

 with the rest of the world not being far behind. Now, you can be forgiven, perhaps for thinking that the arguments that precede a marital breakup are not an ideal candidate for mathematical investigation. For one thing, it's very hard to know what you should be measuring or what you should be quantifying.

 Did the color on some inkblots help them give better answers, or distract and overwhelm them? He developed a system to code people’s responses, reducing the wide range of interpretations to a few manageable numbers. Now he had empirical measures to quantify all kinds of test the creative and imaginative,

 Well, it's hard to quantify, but it certainly exists. And anybody that has access to an electronic device could potentially participate in the illegal wildlife trade, because if there are items being offered for sale, then it's as simple as clicking on buy and then they've participated in the trade.

 As post-Enlightenment creatures, we tend to assume that scientific thinking holds the key to everything of importance in our world, but the world of value is different from the world of science. The stuff of the one world can be quantified by real numbers. The stuff of the other world can't.

 the slower it moves through time compared to an unmoving observer. This relationship can be quantified with something called the Lorentz factor, which is defined by this equation. And secondly, the length of a moving object as measured by an observer at rest will contract by the same factor.

Einstein's twin paradox...

 So when we're experiencing success, it's important to take a moment to really ask ourselves how much of it is truly down to us, because our egos love to downplay the luck factor when we're winning. Now, a second thing poker taught me is the importance of quantifying my thinking.

 and potentially even death. Fortunately, acute exposures are rare, but we are exposed daily to lower levels of ionizing radiation from both natural and man-made sources. Scientists have a harder time quantifying these risks.

 as do their origin and severity, it’s difficult to quantify yoga’s impact. However, there is evidence to suggest that yoga can help reduce the symptoms of stress, as well as meditation or relaxation.
