Those I bolded are very different concepts. Bernoulli's equations assume no friction, they assume an inviscid fluid, so they have to be modified in this case. The velocity increases as the tube narrows due to the pressure gradient.

How do two black holes have their event horizons overlap, then "continue on their merry way"?

It should be during the acceleration phase *. There must be a correlation between the acceleration and the wavelength. There must also be a momentum balance (as well as energy balance) so the photon would have to influence the trajectory of the interacting molecules. Edit: * I just read Skeptics post, which makes sense, so the molecule itself need not necessarily be accelerating, but there should be an acceleration involved.

I guess it would depend on whether you were measuring in "Bee time" or "bucket time".

He's probably referring to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

It can be done, at least approximately, slowly and carefully, at least if you accept a change of state as expansion. That it's "irreversible" is a given for any heat transfer. What are you trying to accomplish?

I think that should account for at least a -5% difference in test scores due to jealousy by the nonchewers alone. Yet there was only 3% difference. I can only conclude that the gum chewing hurt the entire class, just more so in the control group of nonchewers.

I don't think it is currently accepted as being a point, or even finite. It may have been infinite in expanse, yet very, very dense, and expanded from that.

All that said, there is a symmetry apparent in the expansion, even in all directions, measured from points at rest with respect to the CMBR. This symmetry changes when moving with respect to the CMBR.

Yes it is. So...? (what does that have to do with what I posted?) Did you get from my post some implication that space somehow "understood" what it is doing? I can't see why that should be necessary. Space has properties. I don't know the mechanism (or whatever it is) involved but it has properties that it orchestrates extremely consistently. To me that is not nothing. It's something. More of it, for instance, and it takes longer to traverse than less of it. If it was truly nothing it wouldn't make any difference.

I think that is rusty's point though (rusty, correct me if I am wrong) While there is no non-relativistic ether, space is not "nothing". Something (somehow) is doing the accounting.

In the context Feynman meant it, it is still true today IMO. Why I have that opinion, and didn't vote "not sure", I have no idea.

Hey, someone's been bringing those presents every year...

Assuming the two black holes are large, and exactly the same size, I think you've come up with the perfect definition of Hell.

Bottom line: Remove what energy is there and you have no energy left. Capiche?

You accelerate a ball with the force of 10 N. For how long do you maintain this force? At what velocity do you release it? Why do you assume the ball will collide with the molecule with a force of 10 N? Can the molecule exert the same force as your hand did in the opposite direction? Can it maintain it for the same length of time?

For the infinith(sp?,never did get that right and never will) time, don't bring that argument up again!

Is all this from a conjecture of your own? Or can you provide a link?

Radiant cooling requires a large percentage of the background to be effective. Having a near absolute zero radiation sink of a small subtended area will not allow much cooling.

Thanks. I'll think about that next time I nervously present.

fixed!

With what? What would you suggest using to apply the force?

Yep, 0 % efficiency, or like the claims (correctly in context) on those electric heaters it's a 100% efficient heater.

32 feet of head is 14.7 psi or one atmosphere. Maximum head from that pump is 42 inches. That is less than 2 psi.

Take with a grain of salt my estimate as to how many cycles it would last. I was being facetious in my claim that it could work, due to the small, temporary and really insignificant energy source it had available to work using ambient temperature. I just looked for an energy source and sink. Since there is a small one that is not replaced, it will be very short lived. I made no attempt to calculate it, as it was clear it would not really work as claimed, for the reasons you stated in your original post.
