This observation does not rule out pausing at these sites but suggests that such a pause would be much shorter than the other timescales observed.
Likewise, the radiative association channel is generically always allowed, however, the reaction rate will typically be ≤10−14cm−3 [43] and therefore much slower than other experimental timescales.
As the philosopher Thomas Nagel has put it, on any meaningful timescale other than human life itself – that of the planet, say, or the cosmos – "we will all be dead any minute".
(For other metallicities, the timescale of shattering just scales with the inverse of metallicity).
From a biological and biophysical point of view this implies also including two other key components: timescales (see, e.g., the review paper [ 49]) and the role of randomness.
We further assume that network proteins interact with each other on fast timescales and that these interactions determine the fractional activity of the transcription center represented by the function f, whose value is limited to the range [0, 1].
For cost-effectiveness analyses of HAART, these studies were generally based on a lifetime perspective (ten of 22), while other studies considered timescales ranging from 2 to 40 years.
(And, at the other end of the timescale, salutes the success of Grand Theft Auto).
At the other end of the timescale, I'd like to know whether robots will ever supercede humans.
At any other time, such a timescale might be seen as unsound decision-making that has not taken into account legal, financial and risk considerations.
