Origin Definition and 667 Threads

Country of origin (COO) represents the country or countries of manufacture, production, design, or brand origin where an article or product comes from. For multinational brands, COO may include multiple countries within the value-creation process.
There are differing rules of origin under various national laws and international treaties. Country of origin labelling (COOL) is also known as place-based branding, the made-in image or the "nationality bias." In some regions or industries, country of origin labelling may adopt unique local terms such as terroir used to describe wine appellations based on the specific region where grapes are grown and wine manufactured.
Place-based branding has a very ancient history. Archaeological evidence points to packaging specifying the place of manufacture dating back to some 4,000 years ago. Over time, informal labels evolved into formal, often regulated labels providing consumers with information about product quality, manufacturer name and place of origin.

    Origin of Big Bang: Exploring the Universe Before Collapse

    So if a black hole in summary is anybody massive enough to succumb to it's own gravity. And before the Big Bang all the Universe's matter was in one location. How was this not a black hole? Clearly if you have all the mass of the Universe you kind of pass that threshold of "just enough matter."...

    The origin of water in the universe

    I have read there's a lot of water in comets, and comets are abundant in the universe. H2 is also abundant, but oxygen? That means oxygen is also abundant in the universe? Why not sulfur or any other elements? Can anyone explain this to me?

    Origin of the Moon: Did Luck Play a Role?

    Exploring the Mystery of the Origin of the Big Bang

    Where did everything that went 'bang' come from ? It would seem to me that even potential must have a source of origin. Accepting that the Big Bang is true, where did it come from ? Where did all the potential of the unified field come from that went 'bang'? What caused all the 'matter' of the...

    What is the origin of the reciprocity theorem in optics?

    Origin of Universe: Big Bang Theory
