What is the orientation of the system? Google maps suggests that it is N-S, which means it's possible that this was a transit telescope. At the Naval Observatory was had these - you can measure when a star passes by the N-S line, and use that to make star charts for celestial navigation. There are buildings built some distance away so that the telescope can sight in on a target known to be on the N-S line and calibrate the scope. At USNO the targets have been demolished, but the transit telescope building foundations remain, and there are still some trees used as windbreaks to make sure the air would be still for sighting in on the targets. You can see the foundations on the center line, one just to the east and one just to the west of center. The remaining rows of trees are just to the northwest (aligned with the foundation on the left of center) https://www.google.com/maps/place/United+States+Naval+Observatory/@38.9215924,-77.0679255,834m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x89b7b62f93f61443:0xeba717baca31d77d!8m2!3d38.9216743!4d-77.06688372 points

1 g of K40 results in about 3 billion joules (roughly the energy of a tank full of gas/petrol). https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(avogadro+number+%2F40)+*+1.32+MeV and https://www.radioactivity.eu.com/site/pages/Potassium_40.htm But, with a half life of over a trillion years, this would be an average power output of less than a mW (enough to light a very, very small LED).1 point

Firstly this has nothing to do with Earth Science, and you will get a wider response in a more popular section of this forum. Take heart, I am glad to see your neighbour is the cooperative sort. First question has she simply got the bass turned right up without knowing it? Then, can you find out where and how her speakers are mounted? It is possible that the mounting is coupling to the fabric of the building either the walls or floors making the effect worse in your rooms. Decoupling may be the answer. If they are on the floor, standing them on a decoupling material (a section of rubber mat cut out of a cow mat is ideal and cheap) can do the trick. If they are wall mounted then some antivibration blocks may be called for.1 point

I'll answer with a little more details to this post, hopefully it may help you in your reading of articles. I'll highlight things you seem to have misunderstood and point out what some sources actually say. (emphasis mine in quotes) False. Planet nine was not found. Some astronomers say Neptune can't be responsible for shaping the odd orbits of some extreme TNOs (Trans Neptunian Objects). Adding a massive planet 9 to the models is consistent with some of the orbits' properties. https://astronomy.com/news/2019/10/planet-nine-may-be-a-black-hole-the-size-of-a-baseball https://aasnova.org/2019/03/12/simulating-an-extreme-tno-on-the-road-to-planet-nine/ False: It is not close to earth. https://astronomy.com/news/2019/10/planet-nine-may-be-a-black-hole-the-size-of-a-baseball I would rephrase that question. You seem to assume something that is not true. https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=6964 The effects, if any, can be neglected in daily life. But I guess there could be interesting effects on models of the solar system but not much for earth. If there were effects then we would have noticed. Here is how you may phrase a question without too many of the errors: If the hypotesis of a ninth massive celestial body is true and if it turns out to be a primordial black hole, what would that mean for science? Would it change our understanding of solar system and/or cosmos? https://astronomy.com/news/2019/10/planet-nine-may-be-a-black-hole-the-size-of-a-baseball1 point

Are you able to experiment with a quality noise canceling headphone device and see if it helps reduce or eliminate the headaches when this music is being played? I use them often when on a plane or working with motorized equipment etc and have found tremendous benefit. Just note the good ones tend to cost a bit more.1 point

Yes, understood. I have lived in a town home before and agree that people can be noisy but this situation goes beyond normal noise. It's actually affecting my health and my head feels like I am on an airplane, feeling the pressure when you can't get your ears to pop plus it actually hurts my inner ear. Thanks!1 point

Yes, that's very recent. Hopefully, it's just stress and you can feel relaxed again soon. The thing to watch is that you don't become unrealistic in the future about the other normal neighbourly noises that we all do.... sometimes we are noisy!1 point

It might just be lingering stress, giving you psychosomatic symptoms, and will take a while to dissipate. Having a chronic neighbour issue can affect you to the extent you become so highly sensitized to the nuisance that you feel you are still experiencing it for a while afterwards, even when it's actually gone....like a PTSD. It could take a while. Look at it positively: she's complied.1 point

The first step to understand is that in physics models including string theory is that a dimension is any independent variable or quantity/function that can change in value without changing any other. ( This includes string theory) the extra dimensions correspond to particle degrees of freedom that correspond to their interactions. It does not refer to dimension as per another universe etc. String theory applies waveform descriptives to the properties we describe as a particle. In this sense it isn't different from QFT. A string is a waveform descriptive. It follows GR but more so in the SR regime as gravity is so weakly in the quantum regime.1 point

Hmmmm ... After pursuing the science of discovery I have made these sterile observations. Clean your humour up and look at this as if you had recorded these yourself or my own brilliant science will take me elsewhere!-1 points

The notion that a rogue planetary body such as the Orion Nebula is headed towards Earth was confirmed back on January 25, 2016, when it was reported that Planet Nine was discovered in our Solar System. NASA corroborated the discovery of Planet Nine roughly 19-months later on October 4, 2017, in their report entitled, ‘The Super Earth that Came Home for Dinner‘. 33. October 31, 2020: End Date of Maya Calendar 34. October 31, 2020: Start Date of 62-Day Passage of Earth Through Orion Nebula 35. January 1, 2021: Start Date of New Age-1 points

E=mc^2 C=D/T=3*10^8m/s sqrt(E/m)/(3*10^8)=1m/s plug in my weight 108kg for a distance contraction of 2 meters to solve for E sqrt(E/108)/(3*10^8)=2-1 points

the black hole is looked from the telescope, telescope is made from lens - glass, I think everything looked from glass to be giant magnified is not true! maybe which you called "black hole" is the system action from atomic-1 points

There is great mounting evidence that the gene sequencing of Corvid 19 was engineered and modified in a lab and not naturally occurring by an accident, All overseen by Zhengli Shi principle investigator and professor of Genetics/Biology and Virology at the Wuhan institute, carried by means of viral antibody testing and manipulation of the genome of Maccca Mullatta Bocapavoviris combined with novo virus types to create a antibody/vaccine or other applied forms to be used for further research and development reasons. This Scientist has since disappeared from radar and all work related to the results or testing has probably been destroyed or moved to a secure location more than likely.-1 points

This is the way back. It allows you to fall through space time, based on the Minkowski time line it would either get you to the future or the past. You have to bend space time in such a way where it does not fold as the animation says, I am not sure why but either way you can fall through this space time. Assuming your consciousness does not coincide with your previous self it would be a safe trip otherwise meeting the dinosaurs.-1 points

Come on, just because you do not understand does not mean you defame me yo. Here is the proof by Goku(4:06). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=063Pzii3bqk Expert note: Goku got too much energy at a stationary point(thanks Twice) and result in length contraction (4:06) because of energy(momentum)/space. After contracting the entire length of the universe he began to time travel. And then he loops past the Big bang back to his current time line.-2 points

Ok found this article online from a site called 911truther.org claiming the actual end date of Mayan calendar is really oct 31. 2020 and the earth will start its 62 day passage on the black hole of the Orion Nebula. January 1 , 2021 will be the new age. Has anyone seen this or have any clue what they are talking about? LINK TO INSANE NONSENSE DELETED. !
