Swansont has a PhD in atomic physics and the Bohr model is so last century. It's now a curiosity from a time long since passed.

If the expression of the digitised personality is indistinguishable from an organic brain, does it matter, since it would express everything that we do? Long time no see. Hope you are well.

Just be thankful you aren't learning Chinese because apart from the writing, it's tonal as well. You've got hit the hit the right tone to convey the right meaning. Being deaf, that would just about impossible for me. You may be right. 'pod' could pertain to ''feet'. Edit: Yes, I googled 'tripod etymology' and it said: early 17th century: via Latin from Greek tripod-, tripous, from tri- ‘three’ + pod-, pous ‘foot’.

Cool. I'm learning.

Wouldn't that be treating it under SR where spacetime is flat?

That was my "sprinkling of other countries". Isn't it delicious revenge, after being raped and pillaged for so long by so many countries, English is so ubiquitous.

OK. Cheers.

They need energy to reproduce, for one example. I'm sure there are others.

It's 'try' which relates to it having 3 legs. The prefix 'tri-' means three, as in triangle. English is a pain because it has French, German, Latin and Greek roots and a sprinkling of other countries. The rules of pronunciation and spelling are consistent, more or less, within a words source language.

He's got his own theory.

I wouldn't either.The motives of the complainants seems to be purely one of principle. No artist is going to give you their best work if they are not happy with the commission.

You'll never 'get it' until you start doing the maths. Verbalising will only get you up to a point. That's when I tell myself that's as far as I can go without doing it, otherwise my mind would be thinking and conceiving ideas that are way off the mark. Right now you are talking about intrinsically mathematical ideas without doing maths.

It could be done from if the current was sufficient... like an overhead powerline.

You are putting the cart before the horse.

I call them artics.

I think you are right. You used it correctly.

I think a lot of UK lorry drivers call their artics 'tractor-trailers' The ones I've known anyway.

But what about when you are accelerating upwards in a windowless lift at a rate equivalent to gravity... you can't tell the difference?

Can you give an example of this system? I would make a sticky post in Speculations called "So, you think you're Galileo".

Does this help? https://www.dartmouth.edu/~etrnsfer/water.htm

'Theory' is the highest accolade of acceptance that an idea can be given in science. It has strong, repeatable evidence supporting it. Everything else is called a 'hypothesis'. The scientific method always leaves room for doubt even in the face of high confidence.The degree of confidence is expressed as a confidence interval and the lower limit for general acceptance is 95%.

You asked for evidence and I have provided a link for it...which is a discussion paper. It's not definitive but it's there with other ideas.

But you don't use deceleration as physicist, do you? I know people use it in everyday life.

Evolution is like acceleration in physics: it doesn't matter whether it's speeding up or slowing down, it's still acceleration. Evolution is any change in allele frequency.
