My belief in GOD,
A moderator quoting the rules is somehow unexpected, and funny? (also, that’s “you’re”)

Testing Creation
There are issues that are already acknowledged as being outside of science. One shouldn’t have to reiterate those boundaries with each new argument

BIG BANG AUTO-MECHANIC'S TAKE ON THINGS
! Moderator Note Yes. It looks to me like you are 0 for 6 in following the guidelines I linked to. Stream of consciousness posting really doesn’t cut it. Some rigor is required.

No competent scientist claims that this is the case. Anyway, please review the guidelines for posting in speculations

The 2nd biggest bang we know about, 3c186
Limited by c, obviously. You could probably estimate the linear speed by calculating the rotational speed from the in-spiral graphs (inverse of the period), and using v = wr and with the Schwarzschild radius for r. (assume equal mass BHs)

Homopolar motor rotation in Vacuum
Sort of. It can’t spontaneously begin to rotate without an external torque. But the current would feel a force, and if properly connected, the wire would rend to rotate in one direction while the battery+magnets would rotate in the other, such that the angular momentum would remain zero.

Universality , Equality of Matter and Constant Bang !

The 2nd biggest bang we know about, 3c186
No, you misread that. M1 + M2 = ~100 and the mass of the resulting BH was ~91 The surface are limitation you cite is ~70 if M1 and M2 are (roughly) equal. 79, if they are 75 and 25. Converting 9 solar masses to energy isn’t in conflict. The numbers you cited earlier tell us that it was not instantly converted. It took a few weeks, if your number is correct.

Gravity Machine
You need to provide scientific evidence to back up your claim.
-
Gravity Machine
! Moderator Note No, it doesn’t. And making claims like this without evidence or a model means this does not fulfill the requirements of speculations. And this has been pointed out to you before

Gravity Machine
What mathematical model is the basis for this conjecture? Is there any independent evidence that any of these effects will happen?

Shifting light wavelengths with dyes...
It could be coherent if a resonant cavity were used. It’s how dye lasers work.

Has any member got any good April First pranks to relate ?
I put this up a few years back, over the “Time Service” sign at work. Not many people noticed. Had to wait a year from my original plan, owing to rain. (paper sign) I got rained out again and couldn’t do a “Navel Observatory” one last year.

Crystals that multiply the frequency of light passing trough them...
The kinds of crystals, or the general name? Wavelength conversion crystals, nonlinear crystals, or photonic crystals for four-wave mixing are some descriptions There are a lot of different crystals https://www.unitedcrystals.com/NLOCOverview.html https://www.rp-photonics.com/nonlinear_crystal_materials.html

Space travel - getting to from space / moon
You don’t save energy by doing it in stages, and assembling everything in space has the overhead of launching all the parts - including spare parts - into orbit. Plus, as the recent launch showed, launching can be fairly destructive to the surroundings, so you wouldn’t want to do that anywhere near a space station.

How best to stop excluding trans kids from sports?
Except you didn’t/won’t actually answer the question, and just restate your assertion that it’s not rare. Note that “medical intervention” is not synonymous with reassignment surgery OTOH, there’s this Genital surgeries performed on minors are rare, but surgeons say interest is growing. The Komodo analysis of insurance claims found 56 genital surgeries, including vaginoplasty and other procedures, among patients ages 13 to 17 with a prior gender dysphoria diagnosis from 2019 to 2021. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-transyouth-care/ Less than 20 a year in the US. If you read past the headline you’ll find that they say “The survey of 1,655 parents, published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, found that more than half of the parents who were referred to gender therapists said they felt directed to put their kids on medical treatments or change their wardrobe.” (emphasis added) Further, if you read the paper, it says Parents were asked whether they had felt pressure from a “gender clinic or specialist” to transition their child socially or medically. Of the 390 parents who answered this question, 51.8% (N = 202) answered “yes,” so that article claim is a lie (color me shocked) - it’s not half of the 1655, it’s half of 390, and so it’s less than an eighth of the number surveyed. And we don’t have an indication of how many just bought new clothing. (New clothing, to me, doesn’t seem like a big deal.)

Can you please delete my account and my posts?
Something to consider…
-
Can you please delete my account and my posts?
Not to mention internet archives. Deleting all instances of a post means deleting where someone quotes the post, and asking that these be deleted means one is saying that their request supersedes anyone else’s desire to preserve their posts. No, that’s not going to happen.

How best to stop excluding trans kids from sports?
Sex change industry? How old is “old enough”? How many reassignment surgeries are done on minors? Compared to, say, breast augmentation surgeries? There doesn’t seem to be any uproar about the latter. Do you have evidence that this happens?
