We don’t know yet. Hence the confusion and anxiety.

Do you have some hypothesis or philosophy to present, or are you asking about something that already exists? In either case, we’re going to need more than this.

It will take more than that. Like his promise to do away with birthright citizenship. Constitutional protections can’t be wiped away by EOs.

I think interrupts research into cancer treatments, antibiotics, infections and more. It will take time to discern the specifics.

Your mass and that of the spacesuit each would have gravity, owing to the mass of each. Your attraction to the suit would be small compared to the gravity just outside the suit, because inside there would be cancellations. If the suit were spherically symmetric, the cancellation would be complete and the suit would exert no gravitational force on you.

Is it? You need to show that this is the case. America doesn’t have a national religion, unlike around 20 that have Christianity as theirs

I think they did. Even if you dismiss whether they literally believed that lie, it gives cover to treat brown immigrants like they’re sub-human, and I think a fair fraction of MAGA cares about that. Trump is the enabler of being horrible, and some of his followers are positively giddy about having permission to be openly awful to people who aren’t white males.

The strength of the interaction decreases with the square of the distance. Just like how the brightness of light decreases the further you are away from a point source.

Gravity isn’t a substance, so viewing it as being “pushed” out is probably not helpful. Gravity exists; Newton’s law of gravity is pretty straightforward in showing it depends on the mass, and the 1/r^2 behavior and shell theorem are things you can trace back to geometry

About religions and worship, but not, I think, the existence.

Your arguments lack substance. Pointing out that there are gaps in knowledge and unanswered questions doesn’t reveal anything that’s unknown, and your tone suggests you think this is some kind of crisis. But, if you went back ten years, there would be even more unanswered questions in science. Tens years before that, even more. So “unanswered questions in science” has never been a red flag and nothing has made it one. ”ignorant” isn’t inherently a term of derision; we’re all ignorant on some topics. It simply means you lack some knowledge, which you’ve admitted. But the information you have presented was gathered from somewhere, and since we’ve seen similar objections in other discussions, there is a strong suspicion that you’re getting your information from less-than-reliable sources (which you don’t share, so how can we tell?) and are simply parroting what you’ve read rather than formulating your own thoughts.

Adding to the tiny amount of gravity outside of the ISS, yes. There’s something called the shell theorem that shows that the gravity inside of a uniform spherical shell is zero. (True for the electric field of a uniformly-distributed charge, too.)

Yes, the ISS does have a little gravity. The ISS’s mass is only about 4 x 10^5 kg - earth’s is 6 x 10^24 kg - and even though the astronauts are close to it, that’s a significant difference. Plus, the astronauts are inside of it. That matters, since it would pull in all directions, which would partly cancel.

I think you can take your racist, ignorant ass elsewhere.

Too late. He’s already declared a federal hiring freeze, which impacts the VA, though some democrats in the senate are trying to have the VA exempted https://www.ossoff.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2025-01-23-Letter-to-POTUS-on-VA-hiring-freeze.pdf Because Biden took them away?

Well, we’re on page 8, so some kind of discussion is happening. Perhaps it’s not the discussion you wanted, but then, it’s not your thread - you hijacked it. The OP asked “What if god was a jerk?” and you’re not discussing that at all. And there are potentially some interesting discussions we could be having - you brought up quantum biology, for example, but nothing that actually dives into the details of that. You’ve been focusing on things that haven’t been found, and on techniques that you don’t give details about, and which have not yielded results, which means your focus is on…nothing. When others try and engage you, you avoid any substance. I suspect your real complaint is that you haven’t found a credulous audience.

People can discuss what they want. Oh, FFS. Like Phi said, go read and learn. Don’t expect basic information to be spoon-fed to you. You have an obligation to have that already.

So all of this discussion is pointless.

And what else was going on in 2020, that affected demand? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

And what makes you think that this isn’t happening? We typically don’t hear about works-in-progress or avenues that don’t pan out. Successes get published.

That’s on you. Do you really think prices will drop? Oil companies will export oil if it’s more profitable to do so, limiting any benefit, as long as demand is high. Any steps limiting EV production and bolstering gasoline-powered cars will ensure that. Oil companies.

So? Misunderstanding Christianity seems to be a feature of Christianity (and probably of organized religion altogether). If it weren’t, we wouldn’t have all of these different sects. (tens of thousands of denominations) It’s pretty clear that the party that claims to be Christian never read the Bible (or possibly, like Otto, read but did not understand) Christian nationalists use religion as a cudgel to seek power, not because they’re devout If you did a “blind taste test” of party policy, you’d probably see that the Democrats’ policies are better aligned. The Republicans removed most of the Christian values from their politics decades ago. Modern science never had them, so that’s moot.

I would argue that he is both.

Maybe people on a science discussion board would rather discuss…science? As opposed to getting exhausted talking about things probably meant to exhaust us.
