It's not linear. And our intuition is linear.

Linear

MB consumption (metric tonnes)

History is not linear.

One linear, one cyclical.

Linear take, make, waste.

Is the system linear?

Carbon dioxide emission, metric ton per capita.

First of all, it's a linear projection.

Whereas in the West, time is linear.

So, unfolded it's about 300 linear feet.

Consequently, in 1996 Iraq declared the production of 3.9 metric tons of VX, the production of 60 metric tons of key VX precursors and the acquisition of some 650 metric tons of other precursors for the production of VX.

Coincidence to me has a much simpler metric.

It was 23 metric tons for one liter.

The slope of that is less than linear.

It's an eternal metric. There's an eternal metric about us sort of saying, do we understand the world? Am I making predictions? And so on.

And I would propose it's not a fair metric.

So, a convenient thing about being a human is you move in linear time, and unless Lisa Randall changes that, we'll continue to move in linear time.

The rise in the number of vulnerable persons created an additional need of 66,198 metric tonnes in food aid, bringing the total food requirement to 464,385 metric tonnes.

There is a big difference between linear and exponential growth.

The air is not linear, as we've always been taught.

We import 50,000 metric tons of sugar from Brazil and Cuba.

But, you know, we have become obsessed with this linear narrative.

To date, we have eliminated approximately 1,000 metric tons of toxic substances.

My main message is that progress in technology is exponential, not linear.

And they honor events in the linear world from the fictional world.

We think that this may not be a linear sequence of events.

Approximately, 10,000 metric tons of charcoal are being exported from Somalia every month.

Crisis, disasters and emergencies are critical issues of global, as well as national concern, with multiple dimensions and sudden and chaotic features that demand both linear and non linear approaches for prevention and management.

And of course fences around the world are all Cartesian, all strictly linear.

At maximum range the footprint approaches a linear release of submunitions over 1200m.

He's about four or five times as fast with this simple little performance metric.

I have linear algebra, science, physics, even nowadays, chemistry and biology, as you've seen.

Current food stocks of 74,000 metric tonnes are not likely to last beyond July 2005.

So now I want to go onto talking about the linear to closed loop idea.

You look at art. Look at the ballerina, how linear she is in her performance.

In our mind, the relevant metric is student to valuable human time with the teacher ratio.

Almost 80 of A5 Parties now consume zero or less than 60 metric tonnes of MB.

Almost 80 of A5 Parties now consume zero or less than 60 metric tonnes of MB.

Secondly, shifting from a linear, wasteful, polluting way of using resources to a closed loop model.

The Technology and Economic Assessment Panel has reported that, over the past few years, the use of n PB has grown in some areas, including as an industrial solvent, and that current use estimates range from 2,200 metric tonnes to 9,100 metric tonnes.

Well, it's simple in the sense that it has fewer neurons, but is that a fair metric?
