Equilibrium: Is Kc=1/Kc always true ?
If you look at a clearer page https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/kech106.pdf The equation is K’=1/K, though it’s still not easy to discern the “prime” mark (knowing the chapter and unit number would speed up the process of digging in to all this)

Equilibrium: Why is products assumed to formed in equal amounts ?
Because you’re assuming only the identified products are made, and you aren’t destroying or creating any of the atoms - you’re just rearranging the configuration. You have CO and H2O. If you form CO2, you have 2 Hydrogens left, so you get H2. That accounts for all of the atoms.

And yet every example that’s come up contradicts this. The information is degraded as details change.

If the object is unidentified I can’t fathom how you’d identify them.

My thoughts on the 2024 Yemen UAP that got fired at
Yes, but there are still rules of engagement (or were, at the time of that incident). Typically they must be positively identified as hostile, so the question is what hostile act was witnessed, since the craft was not identified as belonging to a hostile force?

It’s a matter of taste, though, isn’t it? If you grew up liking meat, and still want that, you’re not going to replace that with a plate of veggies.

An intelligent response from AI ??
If you’re still looking, the Internet Movie Database often has soundtrack info for TV episodes.

My thoughts on the 2024 Yemen UAP that got fired at
Thst was touched on in another thread. It would have been a good question to ask during the testimony: why was permission to engage given?

life on mars
If you’re reading Livescience’s story, there’s a bit og embellishment. NASA is a little less bold in its claim https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-says-mars-rover-discovered-potential-biosignature-last-year/ “[the sample] contains potential biosignatures, according to a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature.”

I had the same notion, but research says they are, on occasion. Helicopters and other slow-movers, because it’s subsonic.

Speculative science questions
Yeah, you need to establish that the soul, or whatever, exists before worrying about this. “comes in/leaves through spacetime” is exceedingly nebulous.

Yeah, odd such a complex tale as “a rabbit’s foot is lucky” could remain intact.

Speculative science questions
We sorta do this all the time. Do organic things fall at a different rate than inorganic? Do astronauts on the ISS orbit differently as compared to the inorganic station?

Contrast that with a missile striking an alleged drug boat a few days ago https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m42bpQVK5tA This is zoomed in, since you can see the boat. Can’t say for sure the other conditions are identical, but you can see the bright flash of detonation, which is much brighter than the bright points on the water. Not the case with the UAP video

Flawless or clueless?
Can we? Yes. Must it happen? No. g=GM/r^2 The gravitational acceleration will depend on how much mass you have, and the configuration. If you have a spherically-symmetric configuration, the gravity at R only depends on the mass inside of R. The effect of the mass outside all cancels out. The gravity inside of a spherical shell is zero. Because the details matter, and you didn’t provide sufficient detail

And Santa is a story that’s not uniform across cultures and the traditions around Santa gift-giving have evolved over time. So yet another example that points out the lack of fidelity of oral tradition
-
Missiles Bounce. Paradigms Break. Silence Reigns.
I did see the b/w video, and there was no evidence of anything glowing, no heat plume of a rocket, and no detonation. I would ask about these things. I’d ask to see a video of a normal hellfire impact. I also saw a snippet of the testimony, where a witness said an object was 100 feet away (or something like that) and I would want to know how they determined the distance.

Missiles Bounce. Paradigms Break. Silence Reigns.
Which is expressly against the rules. I can’t e.g. get an AI to clarify how it concludes that the orb was glowing. If you want to discuss this, upload/link to the video in question, or images, include enough information so it’s not required to watch the video, and don’t outsource the conversation to AI

Someone telling a story is not necessarily a teacher, much like a scribe or stenographer is not an author.

A challenge to all the Gods in Existence
But the words haven‘t changed. We can all refer to a passage and know that 200 years ago, people were debating the meaning of the same passage. Nothing added, subtracted or substituted, without a record of those changes.

The point is that this was an oral tradition before being written down, and it didn’t survive intact over a small number of generations. Another example would be the fairy tale The Smith and the Devil. Many variations exist, partly because language changes as culture changes.

I think there is mathematics involved. Error correction would be one concept.

Spooky action at a distance is possible if there is an undeformable connection between two points in space.
You can’t BS your way past the math. It either works or it doesn’t. You can’t say you support Lorentz transforms but think that length and time are invariant because those statements contradict each other. If it’s not imaginary you have to be show it objectively exists. Being able to imagine something means absolutely nothing, because you can imagine physically impossible things. Nothing controversial about that The photons in space are not connected, nor are they matter, so this kind of connection doesn’t exist. And as has already been explained, if there was some material filling the space between us, it could not be perfectly rigid and signals within it can’t propagate any faster than c. Einstein was shown to be wrong.
