  1. This reads like word salad, TBH. How does one measure what is the "best way forward"? Is there an objective measure of this? What is it?
  2. As I pointed out before, time passes at different rates in different frames of reference, and this has been shown empirically. Regardless of whatever conjecture you might have, you need to start out from what we have already shown. I don't know what "undefined motion" means
  3. This is a picture of a laser diode with the protective housing removed. The picture scale is less than 1 cm across. You can see tiny wires going to the laser and to its substrate - this puts the voltage across it and allows current to flow. These can break. There are also wires leading from the power supply to the laser assembly. These could possibly break, too
  4. I use the latter, myself.
  5. Apparently so; I’d not run across it until now. Same issue as for DVD/CD players, most likely. You might break a wire or mess up the lens positioning.
  6. Not sure why that would kill them. They might get a sunburn after 5-10 minutes. Fatal radiation damage would likely take a while
  7. The market does not decide, at least not completely. If it did, I would not see people complaining that dresses do not (in general) have pockets. The market does not decide when there are huge corporations that use their size and influence to stifle competition and keep innovation from the market. What is the connection to AI?
  8. ! Moderator Note Given the question in the other thread, I think this is well beyond that scope, and the questions are not directed at the OP, so I split this discussion off
  9. I'm talking about the documents. Fingerprints could be on boxes from before anything was stored in them. I saw a report that Trump boxed some of the things up himself, so that's why his prints would be on them.
  10. Yes, or issues relating to the rapid decompression. That's what killed the cosmonauts who died in space https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/only-three-people-have-died-in-space Probably not enough time if you asphyxiated. If you had an air supply but no protective suit, perhaps That's unlikely, seeing as blood would not be exposed to vacuum. It's in a container.
  11. That's a non-starter. His fingerprints would be on them if he handled them for legitimate purposes in the course of his presidency or in packing them up. If the fingerprinting shows anything meaningful, it would be to point toward someone unauthorized to handle documents. The issue with TFG is not whether he handled the documents, it's with him having the documents after Jan 21, 2021, when he was no longer supposed to have them. That they were improperly kept from the government and improperly safeguarded.
  12. They don’t show the same odds, so there might be a way to do that anyway. But they don’t know the odds of who will be president. There’s no inherent knowledge here at all.
  13. Im which case they don’t know what they’re talking about, they’re reacting to money being bet.
  14. Depends on who generated them, which you don’t share. Who are “the people” referenced? Or what the numbers mean. None of those are odds as I’ve seen them presented.
  15. We know time depends on your motion relative to another observer, and on your gravitational potential
  16. The mouse is likely using just a plain LED. The CD/DVD uses a laser diode, so similar solid-state technology, but with cleaved surfaces to act as mirrors to make the optical cavity. It’s a solid, so there’s nothing that’s going to leak. The diodes themselves are pretty shock resistant, but there’s wiring that could break, or the laser alignment could shift.
  17. We don’t need to do that exact experiment to confirm the effect. Doing the experiment at the same gravitational potential also eliminates it.
  18. Pretty lame argument. I think the context of there being an invasion, and that Russian invaders are being killed, is something that doesn’t need to be stated
  19. ! Moderator Note IOW, have nothing scientific here, and you wasted my time promising that you did.
  20. I should point out that forced adoption of children taken in occupation, which Russia has done, IS an example of genocide. See article 6(e) https://www.icc-cpi.int/sites/default/files/RS-Eng.pdf
  21. And that prediction is? Particles have properties and interactions. What are these properties and interactions? (you should be volunteering your predictions and tests. We shouldn't have to draw it out of you)
  22. ! Moderator Note No model or test presented, so this is closed. You are not permitted to re-introduce this subject in another thread. edit: reopened on the promise of complaince
  23. Killing invading soldiers in time of war is not genocide.
  24. Yes, I always take my kid with me when I perform an international assassination, because they're such an asset for making a quick getaway.
  25. That makes sense. You want the water to drain, and take the dust with it, for rain and possibly the occasional cleaning in the absence of rain. Of course, if it's not near the equator and it's angled in the orthogonal direction, then you don't need to do this.
