  1. A capital letter has been cut from a sheet of paper and given a single fold: What letter is it? It could be, but is not an L.

  2. OK! Do you want to try the same problem but with three bugs in the corners of equilateral triangle? Six bugs in the corners of equilateral hexagon? Just for practice

  5. Still around... 79 in July but still doing OK...love a VB or two or three... Yes, I was pretty convinced that there was one or two making a mockery of it, considering I was continually supporting the scientific view and research and obviously the lack of evidence at this time. That view is still supported and actually re-enforced...but only a small reason for my absence, as I have been in Fiji also for extended stays.

  6. Seems very convenient that Prime Mechanics does most of its 'heavy lifting' prior to the Big Bang, in the Planck era at t=10-43 s; an era we can probably never investigate, it is akin to saying 'God did it'. As for the other post Big Bang effects, most can be explained by conventional accepted Physics, and while I've read your claims, you still haven't presented anything quantitative regarding Dark matter and galactic rotation, nor about Black Holes. ( what does "keep the Dimension flowing" even mean ? ) And our rules require that you present it here; I shouldn't have to read your book. Until then, I'm going to have to call bullsh*t.

  7. No, you can’t. Yes. And what I’m asking for is evidence that the producer’s net costs are increasing, which multiple people are claiming. The argument that one cost goes up therefore the product must cost more is too simplistic.

  8. It sounds as if one could calculate the movement of mass / energy, and then use it to calculate the spacetime geometry. But I don't think it is generally possible. The movement of mass / energy depends on the spacetime geometry, and one cannot calculate the former without the latter. I think that the equality between Einstein tensor and stress-energy tensor dictates the spacetime geometry, i.e., the spacetime geometry is dictated by the equation rather than by its parts. IOW, the spacetime geometry is such that it makes these two parts equal.

  9. We started a couple of years ago too. Soft Landings are another good way to cut down on mowing that we've incorporated into our yard. https://www.pollinatorsnativeplants.com/softlandings.html

  11. That's a fairly accurate description it would act very similar to merging galaxies albeit on a smaller scale. Other difference would also involve a difference in percentages in charged ion behavior in regards to the relevant Poynting vectors and Compton scattering . Relevant luminosity of course involving the peak wavelengths.

  12. 110% certainty they should be banned!!!! at least according to existing IOC and other sporting bodies laws.

  13. How best to stop excluding trans kids from sports? Good question! Nothing should stop anyone, including transgenders from playing the sport that they wish. As long as of course they do not physically or biologically create an advantage for themselves, and disadvantage anyone else and follow the guide lines of the sporting administrators and scientific and medical advice to that end. The problem exists though, that scientific and medical knowledge is far from certain in this subject. Perhaps do get a clearer picture, we may need to wait a decade or two. Thankfully, though, the aspect of transgenders is relatively rare, and the percentage of those that want to take part in a sport, obviously even rarer. In summing, striking the balance of fairness and not having an advantage in sport, and the rights of the transgender athletes, will not be easy, and pleasing every one, particularly male and female competitors, will be even harder. My thoughts actually go back to the covid 19 hey days, and the screams and whinging from anti vaxxers losing their rights with mandatory vaccinations, against the rights of all other citizens to remain healthy and safe by the best means possible. I see a somewhat parallel there. As was linked to and showed as fact in the other similar thread, boys and girls play both rugby codes together up until the age of 10, where under the existing rules, following medical and scientific advice, they then separate and segregate according to sex under scientific medical advice, particularly in body contact sports. The gender neutral and selection by size and ability claim is a furphy, particularly when obtaining late teens and adulthood, and as explained and reasoned in the other similar thread. Probably the best outcome as far as I can see. Under scientific and medical advice of course, although this as yet has not not fully decided and is somewhat limited.
