We all have heard of the Island of Pangea, but was it a "collision of continents" or as I have found it forms a ball, was it a Moon that lost orbit?

That’s the point. “real” (as in physical) is not required to be relevant, observable (as in measurable), and scientific, despite the claim.

I always prefer questions that can't be answered, to answers that can't be questioned.

Mothers womb. Now, back to the "human rights during pandemic" topic at hand...

Energy of a system can never get to negative infinity ( whatever that means ); it can't even get to zero because of Quantum mechanical effects. Your 'logic' is mathematically flawed. What exactly is it based on ? Not good enough, Joigus; Ragingmoron hears Jesus' voice in his head ...

Hold on, I've got Jesus on the phone, and he's telling me you got him completely wrong.

Indeed +1, as a society we can only travel at the slowest speed of it member's, but we can pick them up and help them speed up. No one has the right to expect help when they need it, without getting on the train with the rest of us...

The nature of reality is, nature is real; don't let anyone tell you different, even Jesus... 😉

! Moderator Note OK, you're making a LOT of non-mainstream statements that would need evidential support, PLUS you're referencing religious works as well, so this can't stay in Astronomy and Cosmology. I'm moving this to Speculations, where you'll need to support your ideas with evidence and sound reasoning. Please be rigorous in addressing comments from members, who will be trying to show where observation contradicts your ideas. Welcome to the discussion forums!

I think many of the folks arguing against mandatory vaccines are thinking about it like seatbelts. "Sure they save lives, but it should be a choice since it's my body." But this is more like the old Christmas lights, where if one bulb is out, the whole strand doesn't work. This is more like if you don't wear your seatbelt, other people's seatbelts won't engage properly.

Another word is gullibility. A kinder and more accurate description, perhaps, is willing suspension of disbelief.

Unfortunately a fair number of people complaining about rights are invoking phantom rights, with the misconception that “freedom” means “doing whatever I want” Countries (generally speaking) have constitutions, which serve to describe the powers granted to the government. It may be that some powers may only be exercised under certain conditions, such as during a pandemic. If such power is granted, and exercised, individual rights are not being violated - they don’t actually exist.

People are incarcerated all the time for being a danger to the rest of society. They lose their right to freedom. It may be an unpopular opinion, but rights are not inherent, you are not born with them; they are granted by the society you live in. ( just ask a woman in Saudi Arabia, or a Uyghur in China ) At the beginning of the pandemic, If I were contageous, I could have killed more people in a nursing home than with a fuly loaded Glock 17, because with a virus, you don't run out of ammunition. So what is the difference.

! Moderator Note How about we discuss the topic of the thread and not extraneous detail of what's in someone's profile

The one problem that can be of concern is hips displacia and back complications, which was the cause of the demise of the three dogs my parents had. My two, have been taught never to jump off or on the lounge/bed and to just ask first and they will be lifted.

Klapaucius, uh um, I mean Ghideon, You act as there is noting of value in this tread. Sure, breaking RSA would be quite a feat. But you must admit there is no other method that does it. There is no guarantee the Pappy Craylar Method works. And I have moved on to other projects. However, we had an active discussion that may lead to something that might find a different approach. You see, The Pappy Craylar Method is based on the fact that if you increase the size of one factor you must decrease the other. And since there is only one way the Semi-Prime factors go together, the equation to find the factors eliminates possibilities. Sure, the number of possibilities isn’t only one and sometimes the possibilities are further or closer to zero. But until a solution exists, the method leads to the ability to guess the factors by trial and error. See my construction of the 2 graphs that intersect at 5. Of course, I already new the answer, but don’t you find the PC method simple yet interesting? In[89]:= pnp = 85 x = 5 Show[{Plot[(x^4/(pnp^2 + x)), {x, 0, 10}], Plot[(pnp - (x*Sqrt[(pnp^3/(pnp* x^2 + x))])), {x, 0, 10}]}] Out[89]= 85 Out[90]= 5 In[109]:= Clear[pnp, x] pnp = 8637 {Plot[(x^4/(pnp^2 + x)), {x, 0, 3}] Plot[(pnp - (x*Sqrt[(pnp^3/(pnp* x^2 + x))])), {x, 0, 3}]} Out[110]= 8637 Does this work for every Semi-Prime? Maybe, maybe not. This is all I have to share. I am moving on to other projects. So, unless some idea comes along, I will not post. Is my last message Simple, yet interesting?
