It’s been observed in earth’s gravitational field at distances on the order of a cm, and speeds of order a meter per second. You just need a good enough clock. There was a proposal that because there is rest mass, there is an associated frequency, since E=mc^2 and E=hf But AFAIK this was not widely accepted as being meaningful

What “substance” is measured with a ruler? What is vibrating in a cesium atom?

But you did mention it. And you’re dodging the issue. Why not?

That wasn’t your assertion - no mention of nervous system until now. It was simply breathing rate. You need to quantify this (and there’s no indication you have), and remember that length, area and volume scale differently.

Oceans evaporate, but there’s also rain, so there is a limit to this effect.

No, it doesn’t. breathing, e.g. 30x a minute with a lung capacity of 0.5 liters is the same volume of gas as breathing 15x a minute with a lung capacity of 1.0 liters We grow as we get older - our lungs get bigger. You haven’t accounted for this.

If these were organisms adapted to the home planet, they would not be adapted to a planet that needed terraforming. (also, it might be a great story for the planted organisms to evolve into some intelligent species that fears “aliens” and repulses the erstwhile parents)

You haven’t shown this link. Rate and volume are not the same thing.

Light takes time to travel. Light from far away can be billions of years old, before there was any life. Light’s properties are not dependent on there being life.

How does the DNA make a planet habitable?

If you’re the walrus Goo goo g’joob

Where would it stop? Almost everything is poisonous or venomous, or will eat you (or your baby)

I know that the US Naval Observatory (where I used to work) has hired mathematicians to do various kinds of analysis, and know at least one mathematician at the Naval Research Lab. There are jobs out there.

Can you give a reference for this?

We do get some, where a petty downvote is canceled. And occasionally where a crackpot upvotes a fellow crackpot and that gets nullified.

No, it’s observing them. Consciousness is not involved, and “reality” is not the reality of philosophy

What’s going to change if this information is made available?

Whatever works

I’ve heard that black coffee can erase stubborn marks on a whiteboard. Of course, you have to wash the coffee residue off when you’re done.

As iNow has noted, anonymity’s important to reduce vendettas. It’s the approach that causes the fewest problems. Staff can see who gives the votes, and we have removed the ability to give feedback from people who were abusing the system.

Allegedly civilized human societies engage in genocide. It is insane, but we have empirical evidence that it happens.

A situation exists No situation exists. There is a conflict between the two, but you can’t assign the contradiction to one or the other, since the conflict is between the two. If you remove either if them, there is no contradiction. So claiming that only one of them leads to a contradiction is blatantly incorrect. No, one premise is “If B is true, C is true.” Another is “B is true” The conclusion is “C is true” Basic syllogisms have two premises (though you can have more), and a conclusion. https://thedecisionlab.com/reference-guide/philosophy/syllogism All this shows is that D is unnecessary. But there is a contradiction between A and D; if you have D, then B is an unnecessary statement. (i.e. you don’t need both B and D. You don’t need C, either.) All you’ve done is add statements to make the situation more complicated. Red herrings. Sloppy argument.
