  1. ! Moderator Note Given the question in the other thread, I think this is well beyond that scope, and the questions are not directed at the OP, so I split this discussion off
  2. I'm talking about the documents. Fingerprints could be on boxes from before anything was stored in them. I saw a report that Trump boxed some of the things up himself, so that's why his prints would be on them.
  3. Yes, or issues relating to the rapid decompression. That's what killed the cosmonauts who died in space https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/only-three-people-have-died-in-space Probably not enough time if you asphyxiated. If you had an air supply but no protective suit, perhaps That's unlikely, seeing as blood would not be exposed to vacuum. It's in a container.
  4. That's a non-starter. His fingerprints would be on them if he handled them for legitimate purposes in the course of his presidency or in packing them up. If the fingerprinting shows anything meaningful, it would be to point toward someone unauthorized to handle documents. The issue with TFG is not whether he handled the documents, it's with him having the documents after Jan 21, 2021, when he was no longer supposed to have them. That they were improperly kept from the government and improperly safeguarded.
  5. They don’t show the same odds, so there might be a way to do that anyway. But they don’t know the odds of who will be president. There’s no inherent knowledge here at all.
  6. Im which case they don’t know what they’re talking about, they’re reacting to money being bet.
  7. Depends on who generated them, which you don’t share. Who are “the people” referenced? Or what the numbers mean. None of those are odds as I’ve seen them presented.
  8. We know time depends on your motion relative to another observer, and on your gravitational potential
  9. The mouse is likely using just a plain LED. The CD/DVD uses a laser diode, so similar solid-state technology, but with cleaved surfaces to act as mirrors to make the optical cavity. It’s a solid, so there’s nothing that’s going to leak. The diodes themselves are pretty shock resistant, but there’s wiring that could break, or the laser alignment could shift.
  10. We don’t need to do that exact experiment to confirm the effect. Doing the experiment at the same gravitational potential also eliminates it.
  11. Pretty lame argument. I think the context of there being an invasion, and that Russian invaders are being killed, is something that doesn’t need to be stated
  12. ! Moderator Note IOW, have nothing scientific here, and you wasted my time promising that you did.
  13. I should point out that forced adoption of children taken in occupation, which Russia has done, IS an example of genocide. See article 6(e) https://www.icc-cpi.int/sites/default/files/RS-Eng.pdf
  14. And that prediction is? Particles have properties and interactions. What are these properties and interactions? (you should be volunteering your predictions and tests. We shouldn't have to draw it out of you)
  15. ! Moderator Note No model or test presented, so this is closed. You are not permitted to re-introduce this subject in another thread. edit: reopened on the promise of complaince
  16. Killing invading soldiers in time of war is not genocide.
  17. Yes, I always take my kid with me when I perform an international assassination, because they're such an asset for making a quick getaway.
  18. That makes sense. You want the water to drain, and take the dust with it, for rain and possibly the occasional cleaning in the absence of rain. Of course, if it's not near the equator and it's angled in the orthogonal direction, then you don't need to do this.
  19. Reminds me of this joke: When I die, I want to go like my grandmother: peacefully, in my sleep. Not shrieking in terror, like the passengers in her car.
  20. ! Moderator Note You already started a thread on this; it's in Speculations. You were also reminded that "one thread per topic" is our policy. If you open yet another thread on this, rather than posting in the existing one, then we're going to consider you to be a spammer and summarily ban you. Your move.
  21. Where is the site where that picture was taken? I've not seen that configuration, and am interested to know the latitude and orientation
  22. Do you see the contradiction here? "Cannot be completed" and then a citation of an experiment where it was completed? i.e. the separate gravitational and kinematic effects on the clocks allows one to show that the kinematic effect is real, since the gravitational effect can be separately confirmed (e.g. the Pound-Rebka experiment) Further, the kinematic effect was confirmed where there was no difference in the gravitational time dilation (and there was a separate experiment where the gravitational time dilation was measured) https://www.nist.gov/publications/relativity-and-optical-clocks direct link to a pdf of the paper https://tsapps.nist.gov/publication/get_pdf.cfm?pub_id=905055 "Here we report the detection of relativistic time dilation due to velocities of several meters per second and, separately, due to a change in height of 0.33 m by comparing two optical clocks based on 27Al+ ions."
  23. ! Moderator Note Which, AFAICT, has absolutely nothing to do with the war.
  24. If you fire many electrons you will see the interference pattern. The pattern goes away if you can determine that an electron went through a particular slit, but that's not the case simply because a different person observes the screen.
  25. The radiation is likely stronger than background at the frequency being used, but when one looks at a broader spectrum, the total background will be higher.
