  1. Thank you! I would be careful with saying things like: The schizophrenia article is about a model for schizophrenia, which requires the loss of a single allele of SETD1A. The risk of getting schizophrenia increases from SETD1A mutations, but that doesn't mean that by fixing this mouse model we can also fix scihizophrenia, especially if someone has a SETD1A unrelated type of schizoprhenia? The paper regarding autism talks about how autism related symptons will be lessened in mice by correcting SHANK3, but also that SHANK3 is really rare (aprox 2% of autistic people have mutations in SHANK3). So we are again looking at a mouse model where problems are simulated and fixed. I would say that that is a far way off from reversing autism by just switching a gene off. "In mice, we can reduce autism- and schizophrenia-like symptoms, caused by specific mutations that are not the only risk factors in autism/schizophrenia in humans." I would feel pretty confident that if we find someone with SHANK3 mutations, or too little or too much expression of SHANK3, and this person is showing autism-like symptoms, it may be helpful to (once we are good enough at it) gene edit SHANK3, but that isn't going to just fix 'autism' in general.)

  2. Proposal for solution to String Theory: When photons are propelled through space what’s left is time. Distance is space over time. Space without time is not a normal vector and vice versa. Distance=space (teleportation) and distance= time (time freeze) In theory, quantum tunneling and teleportation would suggest that photon particles, though they seem like consistent and steady particles, are subject to a momentary flux (a flicker) in energy in a vacuum; thus meaning they are not uniform or self-sustaining like relativity would suggest. This effect however, would be very rare and happen so quickly, that it would not even be detectable. (Space-time is manipulated so there is literally nothing to see or record in “real time.”) When this occurs, the wavelengths could be altered with seemingly no explanation. This theory will attempt to provide an answer for the fluctuation phenomenon in quantum space by offering that these instances imply that Photons must need to consume in order to sustain themselves; and what this article will attempt to prove is that what the photons indeed consume is “space”. In theory, photon particles do this in order to exist in addition to propelling themselves forward, and they emit time as a result (the photon consumes one space in order to continue to exist in our plane, then consumes the space in front of it to propel itself forward, and releases “time” as a waste product, (i.e. 2 space in equals 1 time out). This is possible because space itself is not the “absence of,” but it is instead the “potential for”. The scientific community tends to accept that space is the absence of everything, but in the cosmos space is actually quantified as the potential for anything, and therefore: Space must be the physical manifestation of potential energy. Also implying that time is actually a form of radiation. In this vain when photons “consume” space, they quite literally take in potential energy (elementary “space energy”) and convert into kinetic energy through said “consumption” of that space (potential energy). The “kinetic waste” produced from the consumption of the potential energy by photons is what is understood to be time (aka “elementary radiation”.) Conclusion: Photons are the smallest energy converters, not the smallest energy quantifiers. What’s sacrificed is time, what’s gained is space. This revaluation is why one can’t see “space”. Light needs to consume the potential energy (space) first in order for the converted space to exist as time, and thus be free to appear as: visual matter, curvature, spatial distortion etc. When the photon emits more “kinetic waste”, aka (relative) time radiation, while it also consumes more “potential energy” aka (relative) space energy, the passage of time and space are relatively sped up stretching the wave (more space in less time; also implying time is denser than space), but when the photon emits less “time radiation” and consumes less “Space energy” then the passage of time (production level of kinetic waste) is relatively slowed down contracting the wave. (i.e. more time less, space.) These reactions result in the speeding and slowing of time, and the expansion and “holes” in space (aka “dark matter.”) Dark matter in turn, is where photons have consumed all the potential energy in a sector leaving only dense time behind. The photons get stuck in this sector because time is too dense to allow space in (2 space= 1 time) meaning there is no available “fuel” for the photon move, or even to continue to exist on our plane. Photons consume potential energy (space) most readily available in high gravity areas, causing the passage of time (ag emission of Kinetic waste), which causes the universe to expand continuing in an endless loop. Universal Space: Time Ratios (Remembering 2 space is equivalent to 1 time) A black hole is the energy equivalent 1 space and 1 space per volume of an area, a star is the equivalent of 2 space 1 time per volume of an area, dark matter is equivalent of 2 time and 0 space per volume of an area, and “light matter” is equivalent to 4 space 0 time per volume of an area. Light matter likely is how dense space pockets are created in our universe (The possibility of which will be discussed in depth slightly later in the article). Physical Matter is the equivalent of 2 space 2 time per volume of an area a Photon is the equivalent of 2 space 1 time per volume of an area, An electron is the energy equivalent 1 space and 1 space per volume of an area, As previously stated, time is so dense it leaves no room for space, so this means the photon cannot consume any space to pass through a condensed dense pocket of time in form of dark matter. These dense pockets of time (concentrated kinetic waste) push the universe outwards, like placing a heavy object in a body of water. The expansion of the universe in turn creates more space (potential energy) at the edges, so it’s like if the body of water in the example took all the air it came into contact with while being displaced, and converted that air into more water. Alternatively, it is the time radiation coming into contact with normal Physical matter and or “light matter” for too long which creates space within the universe. (Aka rapid aging/ decay). This would imply that radioactive atoms possibly have a minuscule element of dark matter (trapped condensed time) within their nucleus that is consistently eroding them at an accelerated rate. I.e. radiation is caused by atoms that contain too much condensed “time” within them. The dark matter (pure time radiation) reacts with the physical matter of the atom to create “space energy” within the atom itself: Potential energy (space energy) that can then be consumed by photons that aren’t trapped within the dark matter “prison”. They do this at an (forward) accelerated rate the further they get away from the dark matter pocket due to the of heavy production of potential energy (Space) in the atom. The photons still closest to the dark matter are more likely to be affected by the time radiation. Provided all of the previous information implied in this theory can be trusted, one could surmise that dark matter may have a fixed capacity: i.e. if the time residue that they are made is what turns physical matter into space, they indirectly doom themselves when they combine with physical matter, because they provide all the photon in and around a them to escape. (Light just needs to be introduced to space to accelerate, the dark matter combines with physical matter to create space.) This would also imply that black holes also have a fixed capacity in some instances, in that the 1 space 1 time energy proportionality suggests that photons and matter can travers through them; but the 1 time for every 1 space means everything would literally slowed to a crawl. This is because the photons want to consume the space, while the physical matter gets turned into space by the dark matter. This arrangement sounds as though it would be ideal and uniform, except one must account for the fact that the photons which eat their way through are still emitting time while they traverse; so this factor combined with having half of the black hole already contain time radiation would make the process quite long, even relative to the rest of the cosmos (other than Dark matter and other Black holes) Thus Black holes does not destroy anything, they take in contents and repurpose them based on the ratio. The ratio on intake directly determines what will become of the black hole eventually. The intake ratio is based on Space, to Time to Matter, to Light Matter. These factors determine whether the black hole becomes a star (2 space 1 time conversion), whether they just grow (1 space 1 time conversion) or whether they convert back to dark matter (0 space 2 time conversion), or whether they become new space in the form off light matter (4 space 0 time. In this vain it is as though Black Holes embody the most “even of odds”; a fair ratio in an otherwise “chaotic” universe.) This train of theories would also suggest that the closer you get to the “center” of the universe, the less space would be available. Most likely this was caused by the Big Bang releasing photons that began to consume space (potential energy) at the point the explosion started. The photons would then work, eating their way outward in all direction eventually spreading out. This also would explain why nothing can travel faster than light; photons are what consume space to allow the passage of time necessary for movement. The light in and around a body consumes the potential energy, (aka space) that it’s in, so it can continue to exist, then consumes the space in front of it to progress forward. Without light there is no progress. It would also be concluded that right behind the light is a trail of time waste that slows objects in the direct path of a photon down, even if the acceleration is too minuscule to be observed. Another problem is that everything gives off a degree of light, naturally aging it (with time-radiation) until it is nothing (space). This reaction would be far more common than the production of Light Matter through a similar consumption method. ( Ie photons are indirectly turning most matter into “food” by passing time waste directly through it, aging it into “space” so that they can consume it.) As for gravity, when a mass like an asteroid exists in space, it has its own gravity because the photons around it and going through it are consistently emitting dense time behind them that “decomposes” the matter, creating space, which is then consumed by photons, creating more weighted Time Radiation. Theoretically if a lone photon where stopped in a single point for too long, it would eventually consume all the available space in that area and become a miniature Dark Matter Pocket, aka a hole in space, where the photon exists on a separate plane from our own. Other photons would inevitably reach this “hole” and when they cannot find any space to consume and in order to exist and propel themselves forward, they too become trapped and so on. (The expansion of dense Dark Matter Pockets.) Since distance equals space over time, if you remove the space from the equation all that’s left is time. This is why Dark matter and black holes are so dense, time is denser than space (2 spaces are combined to make 1 time). The photons cannot be seen or interacted with because they have lost all or most their inner space which is the “physical” aspect of photon matter (remembering that they must consume space to exist on our plane.) They can no longer interact with our dimension directly, only through the gravity that the time inside them once still produces, which remains in our dimension. If this were true then in contrast to Dark Matter, when photons accelerate past a “Light Matter Pocket”, the opposite effect should be observed: in that the same photon could hit a pocket of pure potential energy acceleration and lose all time. Light Matter is the product of a photons that was managed to consume pure space within itself, and hasn’t had a chance to convert any of it into time yet. For this reason, Light matter is theoretically the most temporary and least stable of all the universal conversions. (ie, it is inevitable that the space within them will son be converted into time). Light matter is the equivalent of 4 space 0 time per v of a, however this arrangement cannot last: eventually time production will continue within the photon resulting in a 2 space 2 time per volume of an are entity, also known as Physical matter. When a photon flux’s in a vacuum it is influenced to releases excess extra amounts of time (kinetic waste), consume excess extra space (potential energy), or most likely a mix of both in, a very short period, thus altering its wavelength. When time is dropped and space is gained at an extreme excess of normal, then the photon can reach a new energy level by being filled with only “space energy”. This new energy level doesn’t just stretch the wave, but flattens it completely. This eliminates so much of the time from the photon that all that all that’s left is space. (because the conversion of potential energy to “existence energy” and kinetic energy within the photon far exceeds its waste output of time) Distance= Space. This means time (kinetic waste) is essentially stopped for the photon and what’s left is space: (pure potential energy and kinetic energy, no kinetic waste) a phenomenon also known as Teleportation! When this happens the photon is free to traverse space without being effected by time, however it can only continue at the trajectory it was going initially: because time accounts for half of acceleration. It becomes invisible to everything around it because it’s movements do not happen in “real time”; it’s like the world is “paused” for the photon. The wave becomes a line, but the line and subsequently the particle exists in a different dimension, a pocket in the passage of time: 4th dimension a. (n=4a) In this scenario the “2 space 1 time” dynamic has been altered to,” all potential and kinetic energy, no kinetic waste” or simply “all space no time” (4 space 0 time). The photon would theoretically be consuming and burning so much space so quickly that in it leaves no moment free for time emission, so it brings the space with the photon until it can no longer fit anymore within itself (when it reaches 4) the space finally materializes outside of the photon as a condensed “Light Matter pocket.” Theoretically, the opposite would also be true; so much time could build up in the photon not leaving enough room for space. (All time no space) Distance= time. If this were to happen then the photon would no longer be able to be affected by physical matter because it loses all of its own “physical” presence. (Remembering that when photon normally consumes space, it uses half of that space to continue to exist on our plane). In this scenario the photon would only exists as moments in time with no physical presence, the photon itself becoming a pocket in physical space: 4th dimension b. (n=4b) Though it would be weighed down in this dimension by dense kinetic waste stored within it, meaning that the easier the photon is able to move (i.e. the more potential energy it consumes,) the less permeable it would become overall due to it filling back up with space. A trade off. It is likely in some cases the photon will become trapped in the other dimension, because while sitting stagnated in place, it can consume all of the available space (potential energy) in the vicinity while trying to start up again. The photon would then lose the ability to both move, and to interact with the 3rd dimension and lower. However, without enough potential energy to continue to consume and progress all that left is time (kinetic waste). Thus the photon remains frozen in dense time. Extremely dense, never existing or tangible (within our plane, except for the time waste), but always there. It is only in the most extreme dark matter cases, however, light gets stuck for a significant stent, “frozen in time”. As stated this is what happens in pure concentrated dark matter, because this scenario turns the “2 space 1” time into “2 time 0 space.” (2 time because with the omission of space which is equivalent to 4 space: if this halted acceleration is taken into account, it is indeed possible that the photon may become an electron upon returning to our plane which is discussed in greater length later in the article) In other cases, the photon would be permeable or semi-permeable until it consumed enough space again to become tangible. This is how fusion and tunneling work, when the permeable photons in or around an object consume enough space they become tangible again. Sometimes this happens at inopportune times fusing particles. (This is possible because pockets of space or time will affect multiple photons in similar way.) These photon states are considered 4th dimensional because they exist not solely on the x, y, or z plane, but on new planes: xyz(a) and xyz(b). These dimensional planes are classified as new because they occupy a different dimensional plane than the x, y, and z planes, in that the omission of either space or time from the equation creates entirely new abnormal vectors: 4th dimension xyz(a): a constant abnormal vector that looks like two dots (possibly with a dotted straight line connecting them to signify the 4thD(a) frozen time movement) 4th dimension xyz(b) a constant abnormal vector that looks like a line but is actually a bunch of overlapping dots (possibly dots spread out with lines in between them to represent the multiple connected moments for 4D b) Photons consume space and emit time so consistently and uniformly that at most instances the phenomenon cannot be observed, except during quantum tunneling and teleportation. (other than consistent distortions in space-time by objects, both macro and micro) Photon flux would in theory would more than likely be linked directly to wavelength, in that the photons with shorter wavelengths (more energy) cover more space with less time (relatively), where longer waves (less energy) use more time and cover less space. (relatively). The more space (potential energy) within photon, the more overall energy, the more time (kinetic waste) inside photon the less total energy. (gain and lose key words). The more space a photon takes on in the with the least time the more energy. The balance of both time and space moving in and out of the photon determines the wave length (energy). Space is consumed by photons and time is residual waste. Photons move by consuming space to propel themselves forward, leaving a trail of time behind. The quicker the space is consumed, the smaller the wavelength. This theory may suggest that space in moments also exists clustered in pockets within a vacuum, (most easily and often seen as great masses with intense gravity, like Stars, or Light Matter: 2:1 and 4:0 respectively) and when the photon passes through this pocket it consumes extra space and releases an influx of time energy radiation, thus increasing overall photon energy as well as producing the phenomenon known as Gravity; even possibly to the extent of 4th Dimension a where the photon does not leave room for time within itself by consuming space to quickly. This is why time passes slowly in areas of great gravity; waste production as a whole is directly proportional to consumption. (Time is the driving factor that creates gravity. Space itself is weightless, and large objects attract more space. when photons are attracted to and consume that extra space, they produce excess amounts of denser time waste, which accounts for the gravity.) As stated his would be seen most prevalently in Light Matter Pockets as well as in and around stars. In contrast photons may be able to be forced to retain extra time (at a rate of more than they can burn) in or near similar pockets (most concentrated in dark matter) increasing wave size and decreasing energy. Ie in why in a black Dark matter are frozen in place with no space to consume in order to propel themselves forward or exist. All potential and kinetic energy is lost. And it could be implied that this is likely to the extent of 4th dimension b, which explains why light is not visible in a: it exists in a separate dimensional plane that we cannot observe, forever trapped in place waiting to consume space so it can move again. 0 space 2 time is the measurement because it takes 2 space in order to create 1 time, so the extra time in the Dark Matter Equation comes from 4 total space combining in the photon as time, as opposed to existing separately as in Light Matter. New Energy Equations: Energy exists in moments, not fluid time: base level energy has no acceleration. The photon must be introduced to the “space” (potential energy) first in order to create kinetic energy and ultimately time (kinetic waste) Alternatively without “space” to consume, the residual “time” left in the photon would leave it with nowhere to go (ie light isn’t always affected by time.) Thus there are multiple equations for equating pure energy in each specified moment and they are: E1= potential energy of c E2= kinetic energy of c E3= kinetic waste of c (aka how long it took to get from point a to point b times c.) Or in calculus: E1= mgh(c) E2= ½ mv2(c) Or simply (E=mc^2) E3= (point b - point a)c 4th dimension a (xyz a) is equal to a constant E1 abnormal vector, 4th dimension b (xyz b) is equal to a constant E3 abnormal vector, E2 is the constant 3rd dimensional abnormal vector (aka Einstein’s theory, but light in a vacuum where space and time are evenly and consistently distributed) E=mc^2 is the equation for the energy it takes for a mass endowed with photon(s) to continue to exist on our plane. (The 3rd dimension) Equation for energy of mass THROUGHOUT Space-time: Add all of the E charges together to come up with the total charge: Energy of mass throughout space-time is equal to the total charge of the mass in space over time. (TC is total charge, KE is kinetic waste, ST is Space-time, m is mass): E(ST)= TC• average m(PE/KW) A theory for why stars are in a constant state of nuclear fusion and fission is that the photons consistently consume the space at the stars’ core (the most concentration of condensed space) first and work their way out; creating both a dark matter pocket (2 time no space) as well as a Light Matter Pocket (4 space 0 time) in the center of the star. It is the photons that initially consume the space too quickly which begin the chain reaction: if they were to theoretically consume too much space they would have a chance to enter either 4D (b) or 4D (a) acceleration. In these instances, the photons would be given the option of phasing out of physical existence and reappearing (possibly fusing particles as in 4D b) or become invisible to those around them as they as they freeze time and leaving behind the extra condensed space as they return (as in 4D a). A star is like a cow being consumed by photon “piranha” at super speed, and this is because the photons are attracted to the intense space energy within the star core, which in turn accelerates them when they consume it. the Dark matter dimension; but if the mass of the black hole is even a little more than the variable of half the star, the black hole will win the tug of war. Conditional statement for center of star defusing black hole: If half mass of a star is 2(q) times greater than that the black hole then the star “consumes” the hole. (q represents the variable of displaced time in the star.) statement is true if: ½ (m)star•2q < (m)black-hole If this theory were true it would imply that suns do not implode or explode upon completing their “lifecycle,” it simply means that all or most of the photons within the star have been either transferred to either Dimension 4D(a) or 4D(b). In the quantum world this would be equated to the Star Itself “Teleporting.” Following the most promising trail of possible solutions, it can be surmised that space energy does have “mass” but, the mass only exists at the moments when the space is consumed and within the photon (which also lacks mass to the untrained eye); however, the photons spout the time radiation within so quickly that the mass can only be calculated by the radioactive trail they leave behind, (the time itself). This phenomenon is aided by the fact that time does not exist in front of photons, only near the back and behind them (waste product). This means time is the mass that the photons left behind: photons consume space in order to exist in each moment, so the residue from their existence in that previous moment is time. The only measurement for the “mass” of Photon is the Time-radiation. The density of time radiation would also imply that the photons would need to wait for the time waste they leave behind them to dissipate if they want to go backwards at the same trajectory.) Electrons in theory get energy by consuming 1 time and emitting 1 space, one to exist and one to move. If they were to be denied too much time by either getting excited, or consuming a 2 space 1 time photon with too high an energy level (low wavelength) they could theoretically grow to “all space no time” (2 space 0 time) where they would enter 4D a and subsequently teleport, (though with less overall efficiency than a photon) theoretically returning with extra space than when they left, aka as a photon, 2 space 1 time. Then the “new photon” would accelerate so quickly (because it’s appearing out of nowhere, with a previous acceleration of zero) that its dense time residue would force a minuscule hole (in space) behind it, (aka a 2 time 0 space pocket) “dark matter”; an extremely dense void in space. This pocket will attempt to entrap and consume a nearby photon, so that photon can either become trapped significantly, or eat its way out; becoming a stable and sustainable 1 time 1 space entity, aka an electron. The new electron takes the place of the old one appearing as though nothing ever happened, which assisted by the “time manipulation” of 4D a light matter as well as the spatial manipulation the 4D b dark matter. If too many new photons are accelerating too quickly, they will create too much dark matter behind them, which will consume multiple photons and convert some of them all into electrons, until all that’s left is many 1 space 1 time entities. These electrons being created in such close proximity are accelerated away from each other at an extreme rate, (with the ones created first accelerating the most, and the ones created last accelerating the least) causing many of them go through the process of becoming new photons, which then accelerate from zero creating more dark matter...the cycle continuing, but dissipating every time due to the constant deceleration of all the components involved after each cycle. Electrons that get excited and passed in a conductor are actually teleporting out of valence shells and causing the process mentioned above, while those extra electrons that don’t accelerate away and become photons then take in residence that same available space, even occupying a vacated valence shell. If one were to recognize the pattern in this theory, it would be that the numbers shown imply photons are stars and electrons are black holes. This is why electrons equate to -1 charge they are miniature black holes. In this vain theoretically if an electron were to be stopped from moving or vibrating completely, aka all time no space, it would become dark matter, implying the same is true for a black hole if it were to stop growing. This would also imply that stars do not simply implode at the end of their cycle, their photons enter another dimension (4Da) and leave behind dark matter (a 4D b pocket), which consumes light and space to become a black hole. Or alternatively the star can enter a light matter pocket and become invisible as it freezes time and transports across the universe (in same direction). What this revaluation implies is that if a star large enough were to be transported to 4d a (aka implode) the dark matter produced would actually create multiple black holes, not just one, and they would each naturally shrink away from each other due to the repulsive forces between them; thus implying that black holes have spin. This phenomenon creates dense pockets of space in between the black holes where they cannot traverse, in turn creating the optimal conditions for new stars in between them. These phenomena are possibly what equates the “physics world” to the “quantum physical world”, in that if the information provided within the article is to be believed then: stars can teleport and tunnel, black holes can have spin, can “discharge” energy, ad have three possible final states, (Stats, dark matter, larger black holes dark matter is simply the complete absence of space, and light matter is the production of matter by stars, electrons can teleport, electrons can become photons and vice versa (through interactions in two separate pocket dimension), and that there are two separate but proportionally related unreversed in 4D a and 4D b, each devoid of time and space respectively. To man, time is not just waste or simply some malevolent force to be feared: a man consistently traverses through hazardous time radiation, and yet he still chooses to label the end product as “wisdom”, a woman sees a fleeting moment decay before her, and she still chooses to brand this as a “precious memory”, people see death and disease act upon them without remorse, yet they somehow find a way to spin this as “purpose”, call it “life”, and ultimately deem it “being”. The human being they call; it is, and then it was. A purpose. A value. Not just quantified by moments, but including the space, time, and effort it takes to create those moments. That which can come together to create: a greater wisdom, shared memories, and a total sense of being. The universe quantifies this as 2 space and a lot of hard work to create 1 time worth protecting. To the creatures of earth: simply composed of ancient stars, particles, and microscopic celestial marvels. Those of which consistently come and go in a brilliant and sometimes literal flash. Always traversing the whole of reality, space, and multiple dimensions just to create a single memory for a seemingly insignificant being; and when they die those same miniscule cosmic entities shall thus return to their dimensions and spaces to be repurposed and revalued once more, forevermore... don't you guys realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another dimension. The next time you make a mess, it'll be in some other galaxy. Our ancestors, they want the best stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time! Their time, up there! But Down here, it's our time! It's our time down here! And that's all over with the second we decide to hop into Troy’s little “bucket” of loathing and self-pity. I like to remember a wise creature once told me: “When your wings are weak, your spirit’s done, and you’ve flown as far as you can... YOU’RE HALF WAY THERE!” And I for one believe we are indeed half way to something incredible... -Your Pal, I.C. Weiner P.S. If it helps, you shoot miniature black holes containing stars in them through your body that keep you alive; and every time you move or even think you change the “potential” of the universe, so remember to use your power wisely. (Special dedication to Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking for their research being integral to much of the information discussed in this theory. Thanks also to the countless men and women of the scientific community who have discovered and continue to discover incredible occurrences within our cosmos which helped immensely in the furthering of my knowledge as well as human knowledge as a whole.)

  10. Particles are counted as a positive number , and antiparticles as a negative. So a particle/antiparticle pair has a particle number of zero. It's bookkeeping. Thus the statement that there are three quarks is true. The number of gluons is immaterial, as it was not part of the question, and the number of quark/antiquark pairs (mesons) is immaterial as well, as their quark number is zero. This bit: “plus zillions of gluons and zillions of quark-antiquark pairs.” Without this phrase, one’s view of the proton is so simplistic that it is not possible to understand the LHC at all. Is accurate, because physics is more than memorization of a few facts. Saying that a proton is comprised of two up quarks and one down quark is not meant to be a comprehensive description of a proton, or what happens at the LHC. The gluons and mesons are important in understanding the interactions that go on within a proton, so the quora blurb is addressing a different question than what was asked.

Onions and garlic. I forgot basil that first year. I have apple, winter pear and maple scattered, for later.

  16. We have a large garden and can all summer. In the winter we make syrup from the sap of our black walnut, black maple, and silver maple trees. We make apple butter with the extended family every other year in a copper kettle that has been in the family and in use for about 100 years. It was bought used back then. My wife picks up the walnuts and hickory nuts from our trees and spends many evenings cracking them by the fire that is burning wood from our trees. We found wild grapes on some trees and made our own jelly but I prefer the strawberry jelly we make. We grow blackberries, wild plum, blueberries, cherries, apples, peaches and raspberries. We planted a couple of pecan trees but we may not be around by the time they are producing. We also just got our first figs this year. I haven't developed a taste for our paw paws, but I've grown to like the morels when we can find them. Our compost pile is a beauty with the straw from our chicken and duck coops, and the best of all from the manure from our alpacas. You don't even have to let it compost; it can go right from their butts to the garden. We shear the alpacas and our daughter in law uses the wool for her crocheting. We use all the leaves from our oak trees for compost and mulch. We eat all the fowl eggs but we don't eat the birds; once you name them and figure out their personalities it just doesn't seem right. At this moment my wife is out in the dog kennel doing physical therapy on Wilma (our black star chicken named after Wilma Rudolph). Something is wrong with her leg. We have three bee hives but one of the hives swarmed this summer and we couldn't successfully split one of the other two. We'll probably buy a bee nuc in the spring. I love being able get so much from the land.

  17. You’re arguing against a strawman of science and don’t realize how much of what you do and know itself comes from the scientific method. You’re standing on the shoulders of giants and pretending you can see farther all by yourself. I’d be curious what types of crops you tend and across how large a parcel. I’ve got a tiny garden I built for my family and it’s about 40’ x 30’ (with a fence about 7’ high to keep the deer out). I cleared several massive thorny locust trees to make the space and ensure enough sunlight, and put down several raised beds for the more fragile crops we grow. As winter hits, it’s been nice beginning to open some of the jars we canned, and our homemade pickles this year are some of the best we’ve ever done. We’re also slowly enjoying some of the venison I took and field dressed, but I really prefer the jerky I made, especially when eaten from the farmhouse oak table with mortises and tenons that I built from hand. It’s a massive heavy beast, but it will long outlast me. Anyway, let me know what you’re growing. I’m always looking for new plantings to consider. I can’t believe you just x-posted this at the exact same time I typed my post. Lol. Too funny. Good timing, and thanks for sharing! Tomatoes are good producers, but some are better than others in terms of taste. What else do you plant? I enjoy okra, peas, rhubarb, squash, melons, carrots, peppers, especially hot ones, pumpkins, tomatillos, onions, garlic, various herbs, a few stalks of corn, some random other things and we have tended various wild berries and grapes along the fence I put up. It’s great stuff. We raised a bunch of butterflies and released them into the garden with the kids, and are considering keeping our own hive of bees. I do encourage you to stop arguing against a strawman of science, though. I promise you’re not as different from the members here as you seem to like pretending to be.

  18. It’s nobody else’s choice but mine. End program. There are clearly issues with survivor pain or trauma, and financial issues with the loss of benefits to family when cause of death was suicide, but even then... the choice is still mine. End program. As I jokingly implied earlier... If I kill myself, what are you gonna do... kill me? Get the hell out of here with that stupidity. As if you could stop me. Lol This is all academic and the core issue is really about how we allow the state or allow insurers to punish survivors, not about stopping people from terminating their alive time.

  20. Considering only the Abrahamic religions, we have few, if any, historical records of the beginnings of Judaism or Christianity. It is mostly in the form of unverified 'scriptures'; they 'tell' us it was mostly about ideas, very little, if any, about force. But that, obviously, cannot be verified by multiple sources. We do have historical records for the beginnings of Islam, as that was about 600CE. After he was kicked out of Mecca, for his teachings, Muhammad moved ( Hijra ) to Medina ( Yathrib ), where his growing religious army was financed by raiding caravans crossing between Mecca and Medina. "In December 629, after eight years of intermittent fighting with Meccan tribes, Muhammad gathered an army of 10,000 Muslim converts and marched on the city of Mecca. The conquest went largely uncontested and Muhammad seized the city with little bloodshed." From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad That certainly seems like an army to me, even if there was only a 'little' bloodshed.

  21. What is an "ML network"? Maybe you mean neural network? Some comments regarding your request: 1: Given the conclusions of the paper, what indications do you have that a simple* solution will be effective to solve the problem**? From the paper: 2: Do you have the data required for training the model? As far as I know there exists a number of suitable libraries and frameworks for Python. *) I do not consider the NN architecture in the paper to be "simple" but simple is relative and this may be due to my lack of experience in this specific topic. **) I have to assume the problem is the same as discussed in the paper, not some other undisclosed thing

  22. I have a "strong" current "theory" that you feel your opinion is just as good as other peoples facts, and that while your idea is directionally correct, many of the details you propose wouldn't stand up to even remedial scrutiny, they'd fail the test of experiment.

  28. The general solution to trace element deficiencies is to buy something. My whole program is to resist adding products except minerals taken directly from the ground. My theory, a strong one, is that diversity of materials compensates for every deficiency.

  29. I know I'm going to incur more animosity from this...The way certain economies apply science is unjust. It actually makes people dumb. Hear me out. One of the richest cultural groups is pre-classical mediterranean cultures. No refrigeration. Why are refrigerated foods packaged airtight? Here's why. When left out they explode or implode, due to chemical change, giving the impression, bad! The fact is, bad dairy product is a fantastic yeast for sauerkraut for example. Just drop the cabbage in, salt, and do what you like. The Romans (in my opinion) only preserved what suited them of Mediterranean culture. Motive for dumbing people down? Constant refrigeration keeps people to the grindstone. (For example) I'm going to keep that a problem. As long as there's poverty, personal poverty shouldn't be your problem. As long as there's poverty, thinking you have something should ever be your problem. The only good you can leave to posterity is a better piece of ground.

  30. f = mv is what f = ma resolves to in one second. If you accelerate to 9.8 ms-1 in one second, you will be travelling at a velocity of 9.8 ms-1. Momentum and force are equivalents - if an object has a certain amount of momentum, it will require an equivalent amount of force to bring it to a stop. They don't have to have the same units to do this. By saying mv, you're saying full acceleration to the value of the unit time, which is just another way of saying the velocity. How long the force transfer takes is irrelevant here except for how the units relate to each other. When you start to talk about specifying the duration, you start to talk about impulse.

  31. Understood and very well said. But ""nothing"" is "never" accurate nor absolute, I really hope we understand that math and a theoretically described "model" is "set up" to work within "instructions" and or guidlines from its discoverer, they are never random "unless" your using a calculator that exibits diverse precessions. Something to truly think about when dealing with scientific assertion. And what would that mechanism be?? I hope it's a theory and very fancy calculus to back it up, otherwise its gibberish------->right?? Which scientist? those whom right off anything out of scientific evidence as gibberish nonsense that has no place in science..Mainly the closed minded ones.. Whos We??? Im "Very Glad You Asked" As a drummer I've known that speed, tension and pressure are 3 major components used for great drum sound. Ironically the same goes for piano, as I'm a jazz player...Ironically still the same applies for singing as im a singer as well.. All of these areas of discipline use "forces" but not everyone possesses these great skills.. However in our standard model, "nature" does seem """unique""" as well.

  32. I guess you never heard of electron configuration and color or temporary dipoles "rainbows" ""again scientist think they know everything"" You need to be an "artist" to understand, thats why i said "I'm Glad You Asked The Question" nature is creative and secretive about it, discoveries proove this. When I say higher dimensions, I mean just that, nothing needs to be backed up because it's only obvious nature is unique, just look at the stars, go to a sun set with friends, listen to music or enjoy art of coarse all of which use the "human senses." The only mechanisms I have are the same promiscuous techniques often used in science, but I'm learning how to manipulate these to my personal likings and being very efficient at doing so..

  33. Some People Might Not Have Conscious Experiences I have always assumed that all normally functioning Human Minds would have at least similar kinds of Conscious Experiences. I have thought this for decades. But after many years of discussions about this with people it has finally become clear to me that some people actually must not have Conscious Experiences or Qualia. I limit this observation to things like the Experience of Redness, the Standard A Tone, the Salty Taste and so on. The Experience of Colors and especially the Experience of Redness has been a major target for my discussions with people on the various Philosophy of Mind and Consciousness Forums. There are people that flat out deny the Existence of the Experience of Redness. I think they give it their best shot at understanding it but they always fall back to just dismissing the Experience of something like Redness as pure Fantasy, Superstition, Magic, and Illusion. I have become convinced that their denials of Conscious Experience, their very words, show that they truly and simply do not perceive Redness as a kind of Experience. There is no Redness Experience. They are not Color blind so they can Detect Red in their Visual Field in some way but it seems to be more at the level of the Neural Activity. They can somehow sense that their Neurons are Firing for Red and indicate that there is Red in their Field of View but there seems to be no Experience of Redness in their Field of View. They deny any such extra Consciousness Phenomenon is happening. I used to think they were just messing with me, and I was hoping that after all these years that they would get tired of continuing their Fraud. But they are not messing with me, they truly do not have Conscious Experiences or Qualia. In fact they say that Qualia was invented by Idiot Philosophers. They are usually nasty and arrogant like that and I wonder if that is a symptom of their lack of Qualia. It is interesting that their lack of Qualia would make them living examples of the P-Zombies from Philosophy. One thing I can say is that if they really never have had an Experience of something like Redness then I can completely understand how they would think it was something Magical, and Illusory. These people simply deny the Existence of Qualia and are completely stymied by talk of Qualia. I have been astounded by the possibility that some people (mostly the Physicalists) actually might not Experience the Color Qualia. It is a mystery to me what their Inner Experience of Color could be like. I have always tried to use the Experience of Redness as a discussion point for talking about Conscious Experiences. These people literally will say that there is no such thing as Redness and they always try to compare descriptions of Experiences of Redness to Religious Experiences. I have tried for a long time to get them to describe what the Experience of Redness means to them. After receiving mostly insults, one of them gave me a description of what the Experience of Redness was from their own point of view. He dismissively said that his Experience was the same as everybody else. He described the multitude of Emotions and Memories that were Experienced while Seeing Red. He went on to describe particular Emotions and Memories. I noticed that there was no recognition of the Experience of the Redness itself, but rather it seemed like his Experience of Redness wholly consisted of Associations to other things. This seemed a little odd, but telling. So I then asked him to strip away all the Emotions, Memories, and other Associations from his Experience of Redness and tell me if there was anything still remaining in the Experience. Here is his reply: "How the {!#%@} would I know? It isn't possible for me to 'strip out all the Emotions, Memories, and any other Associations'. Further, I don't believe for a moment that you can either, Steve. This is navel-gazing, pure and simple." This person obviously does not Experience the Redness, but rather Experiences all these other things in place of the Redness Experience. He literally can not figure out what I am talking about. Notice the reference to Navel-Gazing. He still thinks that the Redness is a Religious Experience. After some further conversations I now understand what an Experience of Redness is for these Physicalists. When they think about Experiencing Redness they always branch off into talking about Emotions and Memories. For them, it appears that the actual Experience of Redness is an Experience of Emotions and an Experience of Memories. That is the Experience for them and there is nothing else for them to report. This is of course why they hate the word Qualia, because it does indeed imply that there is something else happening with the Experience of Redness. I can fully see how they would think that the concept of Qualia is Redundant to their Experience. I can fully now understand why they would think that Qualia and the Experience of Redness are different things. For the Physicalists the Experience of Redness is not what I expected. It is something different than my Experience of Redness. I Experience Redness as a Quale and they Experience Redness as associated Emotions and Memories. In fact I can say I really don't even Experience Redness as Emotions and Memories at all. I just simply Experience Redness as a Thing In Itself. Another discussion thread I have participated in where the people denied the Existence of Qualia was one where the people were convinced that we cannot see a Color until we have a Word for the Color. This seems like a very strange thing to believe. I tried in vain to convince them that the Word for the Color does not make the Color real but that the direct Experience of the Color is real. They could not understand what I was talking about. This can only make sense if you consider that they might never have Experienced a Color Quale. They instead receive some kind of Signals from their Neurons that gives them some type Indication of the different Colors but without an actual Conscious Experience of the Colors. I can see how the Words might be of prime importance to them. But yet another example of People that probably have no Conscious Experiences or Qualia are the people that don't understand the difference between a Computer detecting Red and a Human detecting Red. They probably also just Detect Red in some way but have never had an actual Experience of Redness. The evidence for this lack of Conscious Experience in some people is continuing to grow. It explains the endless arguments about Conscious Experience and Qualia. These people simply do not have Qualia. The Lights are out in their Minds. It occurred to me that the people who claim they have no Qualia or Conscious Experiences like Redness, Standard A Toneness, or Salty Tasteness are actually not even Sentient Beings. Machines can Detect Red Electromagnetic Waves , or Detect a 440Hz Tone, or Detect the presence of Salt, but a Machine is not a Sentient Being. Likewise, the Physicalists on the Forum are technically not Sentient Beings if their claim about not having Qualia is true.

  34. How can a user Troll on their own post?? What makes this post unique in it's own right, is not the flow of predictable outcomes ie a standard scientific conversion "on some 300 year old theory" but rather random contributions of scientific and artistic thinking, after all nature is synchronized rather we agree or disagree... On a side note, their is no such thing as proving a theory or scientist from the past or present wrong or right because...Nobody was their to see the legitimacy of their work, the atom has never been seen and theories are "math instructions" of 0 and 1.. I do respect ""noble research"" however and it's a highly respected area...
