Canadian firm hopes to dump minerals in sea off coast of Cornwall in climate change experiment
It’s an antacid, but not particularly soluble. But they don’t say specifically what happens to the carbon. If it precipitates out (Magnesium bicarbonate?) then the ocean can absorb more CO2.

Homophobia, nature or nurture?
That would be nurture, then, right? If you have to be told not to do something you might be inclined to do otherwise…

Carbon Capture Suggestion
The main point was that you did not substantiate your claim - a long-standing pattern - and stated a conclusion without actual evidence or eliminating other possible explanations. IOW, not providing any proof and yet claiming that something was proven. No links, not even to the infographic you pisted.

Links? Citations? Pretend this is a scientific discussion. No mention of Iceland in your link.

Or that boats dock on the coast, and that the EEZ is 200 miles.

Hypothetical properties of a Fission Stack?
The negatively charged particles aren’t atoms, they are electrons. The fission fragments are the positively charged atoms.

Hypothetical properties of a Fission Stack?
It depends on how highly ionized they are

Hypothetical properties of a Fission Stack?
They have a magnetic moment, though, so they can be affected by a magnetic field and have been confined in a magnetic trap. But these neutrons were slowed by other means.

Would artificially changing the mass of an object still follow kinetic conservation of energy?
Once you decide that physical law doesn’t apply, you can’t use those laws to describe the behavior. It’s all interconnected.

Calculation light reflection area
Light doesn’t need to diverge for this implementation. A 1 m^2 non-diverging beam projected on to the ground will cover more than that area if the angle isn’t 90 degrees. Probably by 1/sin(theta)

May I ask how the temperature sensor outputs the detonation signal to the electronic detonator?
It’s curious that you specify a detonator when it could be any sort of electronics. But as exchemist suggests, a common thermostat will do this, as will thermocouple and thermistor circuits.

Are UAPs/UFOs finally being taken seriously?
The invariance of the speed of light can be found in the theory, which is confirmed by experiment. That the value was finite dates back to at least the late 1600s https://www.amnh.org/learn-teach/curriculum-collections/cosmic-horizons-book/ole-roemer-speed-of-light All this, and evolution from a common ancestor - all was backed by evidence, and had a theoretical foundation. That’s what convinced people.

Canadian term for 'U.S. house' ?
A derisive term for newer development “cookie cutter” developments is McMansion

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and solar flares are caused by the planets
And physics allows us to calculate the size of these effects. Have you done so? Unless you think space weather affect construction quality and building codes, the number of fatalities is irrelevant

Canadian term for 'U.S. house' ?
Lots of different types/descriptions in the US Ranch, bungalow, Victorian, townhouse, cottage, colonial, split-level, tudor, and others

Lorentz transformation, special relativity and quantum fluctuations
What if your signal can’t penetrate the vacuum chamber? Proposals such as this generally have to mathematically describe what signal they expect, and why
-
Lorentz transformation, special relativity and quantum fluctuations
Why not have the detectors in the vacuum? This sounds vaguely similar to the dynamical casimir effect experiments https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect#Dynamical_Casimir_effect

Does the spacetime curvature according to Einstein really exist?
Then we’re done here
-
Does the spacetime curvature according to Einstein really exist?
We detect actual gravitational radiation in LIGO, which is exceedingly weak, and this shielding you propose should be proportional. It’s one thing to say it’s responsible for gravity and another to say it’s too weak to measure. You can’t have it both ways.
-
Does the spacetime curvature according to Einstein really exist?
If you are positing some new radiation we can’t measure, then we aren’t observing it. But you need some independent confirmation of this. This is science, not science fiction.

Hypothetical properties of a Fission Stack?
What atoms with virtually no net charge? The fission fragments would be highly ionized. This isn’t the sticking point. Because they are charged they deposit their energy in a short distance, as they collide with other nuclei and ionize atoms along their path.
