I'll pass thought that along to Dr Moreau.

Yes, Portugal. I had rather hoped that the adjacent magnet pairs would supply the torque to overcome the drag and, while they have the most advantageous vector to the track, they are more distant than the pair that have a departing tab and, as we know, the field drops off by inverse square, so their contribution may not be much. I do Solstice rather than Christmas but, "Boa Festas", as they say over here.

I don't think it is an issue of time consuming- AFAIK children grow roughly at similar rates everywhere. I.e., it would imply that folks in the developed world are busier than in developing countries, but I kind of doubt that. Cost may be something, but then I am wondering whether children are really only expensive (in relative terms) in developed countries. One could ask the opposite question- why would folks want children? There are social pressures (familial, religious etc.) which are diminished in many developed countries, for example.

Well hello and Happy Christmas! Yes, I was one of those who predicted the finger or tab would resist being extracted from between the magnets and that this was the phase of the cycle in which there would need to be a work input to overcome the resistance, which would balance the work output in the other phases. Emmy Noether still rules! 🙂 I tracked you down to the over unity machines forum, but there too the trail had gone cold in mid-September. For some years on these forums it seemed to be a seasonal event for an over-unity (1st Law violation) claim, or a heat-sink-less heat engine(2nd Law violation) claim to pop up around Christmas or New Year. They were often quite fun to disentangle. So as the season approaches I thought I would give your cage a gentle rattle. By the way I haven’t been to Chatham yet, but I’m currently reading the Pickwick Papers, in which much of the early action takes place in the surrounding area. What’s this about olives? Are you somewhere in the Mediterranean, then?

Hello, I've been thinking a lot about this and learning more. Even tried drawing a 4d vector field? graph? where I overlaid state 1 & state 2 with each other and tried to envision some sort of vector for how they behaved the way I initially saw this thing. I didn't bode well Studiot lol. Would that be 4d? 1 IR2 with another IR2 overlaid on top? If IR2 is real space 2 dimentional? I'm still working on that so I'll come back it hopefully sooner rather than later, I think it would support the image I have more explanatively. I'll be going back to vector equations today or tomorrow I think, just wanted to show you all how I first saw this idea and how I now see & understand it now. And no I'm not about to state I've found something (it's probably already been discovered by someone already), merely that I had this as the idea when I first came here and you were kind enough to listen and help. So coming up is the original posted idea A bit later on I will hopefuly post a drawing of how I think I understand it now. It by far not the finalization, just where I'm thinking or at right now. But 3 months on, well...it now appears in my head in the same ish' kind of fashion but I see it a bit clearer I hope, than I did (not clear enough yet) and I now have a few proper science names and hopefully descriptions, understandings to better explain it this time Like I said, that isn't how I think now. Mordred, Studiot and Swanston you have all helped me in that respect. Thank you, I appreciate it. Question if I may plz. When you guys measure particles, is there ever the residual faintest amount of a wave length that is just slightly misplaced? Is there a certain tolerance of + or - and perhaps if there was ever a slight slight difference it might be inside that tolerance itself? Slightly more 'up' on the top of the peak, or slightly more 'down' of bottom ? I hope I said that right. Sorry, it's quite difficult to imagine these all and how they might make a difference on such a small small scale. So many of them and behaving in so many different ways. Hmm.. So if you measured an proton for instance after it was created, when measured, does it ever seem to have slightly more charge than it should? No matter how faint that wave length might be? Or is it always perfect? I'm trying to understand a bit more, sorry for the weird questions, hope it made sense. Off to draw up what I currently envisage going on now find out how wrong I am or that someones already thought it up pfft Time always tells eh. (sry for the sqep's Mordred)

In addition to this absurdity, there is likely a lot of diplomacy that happens that never makes the news, because it’s secret, and a lot of that is probably because certain public posturing is required to placate the citizenry, and any private agreements that are contrary to that won’t be received well. We see that in the US when public vs secret votes happen in congress with different outcomes. e.g. the Gaetz ethics report, which is just the latest example

as a former abused and neglected child, I wholeheartedly disagree. not everyone is equipped to raise children, and many of them don't even want to. those [alleged] adults who act like spoiled children and insist that their feelings should dictate all the rest of our lives should really check their behavior and focus on their own lives, PARTICULARLY once they have children of their own.

Who should have children? People who want them, and make the decision to do so. It’s really not anybody else's business whether someone decides to have children or not.

They are both together. I have an idea, that Russia usually overcame Europe, because Russia is placed geographically at the East related to Europe. And all countries which are placed at the East always win the wars with those which are placed to the West. The Mongols overcame Russia in 13th century, and so on. USA won the war with Japan in 1945, because USA is placed at the East for Japan.

Such replies usually have the meaning "if someone threatens me with nukes, it is rational for me to surrender". No, it is not rational: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_(game) If Putin and Kim win through their nuclear threats, their appetites will increase and at the next step Putin will say that he will start a nuclear war if the West don't purchase the Russian oil at a high price.

Considering how expensive and time consuming it is to have children in the developed world, we need as many people willing to take on this challenge as possible. The population demographics of western countries are imploding, in case you weren't already aware.
