  1. Dragonball has been banned as a sockpuppet of Baron d’Holbach
  2. How is this a “reversal” of causality?
  3. And a lot of experimental research is finding vacuum leaks and ground loops.
  4. Photon excitation or de-excitation probability is not dependent on the direction of the photon.
  5. Why would it be increased?
  6. If photons are causing the excitations, they will also cause stimulated emission, which would not be isotropic.
  7. Your diagrams are not as informative as you seem to think they are. They might make sense to you, but that doesn’t mean they make sense to anyone else.
  8. Photons cause excitation and de-excitation anyway, without time reversal, so I don’t see why this would be evidence.
  9. 1. That’s not entanglement, which has no information exchange after the entanglement is in place 2. Virtual particles are already identified in quantum physics. If that’s what you mean, use that terminology rather than introducing new terminology. 3. “exchange of information through their eigen space” is just more word salad 4. A model and/or evidence are required in speculations. You’ve not provided anything substantial

    It’s an international organization. It is physically located in France (because it needs to exist somewhere), but is not a French organization. What fuss? The old definition was based on the triple-point of water, which is at 0.01 degrees C. The freezing point of water is still 0 C and 273.15 K. The redefinition happened because of a push not to define basic units on physical artefacts. e.g. the meter and kilogram are not based on platinum-iridium bars/blocks anymore.
  11. OTOH, Skynet should have already become self-aware and carried out this scenario (with nukes)

    That’s only a factor of ~2. With a value of 100 million, given the lack of precision, that’s ignorable. I remember a talk (I think it was highlighting the equivalent temperature scale of the TRIUMF protons down to the trapped atom temperatures in our experiment) and someone asked what the units were. The speaker said “Does it matter?”
  13. Do you have a rigorous treatment of this, or are you just offering up buzzwords? Entanglement is a particular correlation of states. It’s not its own interaction.
  14. The “killing the operator” was a hypothetical scenario that came up in discussion.

    They didn’t change the value when they redefined it. It’s just now defined in terms of physical constants. It would only matter if you were trying to experimentally realize the value, since the method would differ.

    Time is relative to the frame of reference of the observer, being affected by speed and position in a gravitational field. Aging is a more nebulous concept. As Phi notes, it’s probably a biology issue, so you should specify which concept you wish to discuss. Aging does not affect time. Time affects aging.
  17. It’s calculus. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus
  18. f(x) represents a function of x dx is a differential; it’s found in an integral (you could integrate f(x)dx) or as a derivative, as in dy/dx
  19. You need better - i.e. technical - resources. You cited and encyclopedia earlier. This topic is more advanced than a high-school report. Perhaps you’d be better served by asking questions than making a proposal that’s not really based on solid science.
  20. Another way of saying that is that you are violating known conservation laws. How do you artificially produce gravity?
  21. “This is an abbreviation for "parts per million" and it also can be expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/L)” This is true statement the does not imply that the two numbers would be equal. You would have to convert between them. It’s like saying that an amount of money given in US dollars could be expressed as Japanese yen.
  22. A liter is 1000 cm^3. 1 m^3 is 10^6 cm^3 So right off the bat you’re off by three orders of magnitude no Source? Your maths are atrocious
  23. Let’s see the maths
  24. Solar system exploration isn’t the same thing, though. You can investigate new things without much overlap. But if one probe is sent to a distant world to see if there is life there, what benefit is there sending a second one, years later, but before any data is collected?
  25. They will not accept that which they’ve been paid to reject. Shocking.
