It’s probably a dynamic IP address assigned by your service provider, so it can change.

Contrails to Steer or De-energize Hurricanes
swansont replied to Harry Anastopoulos's topic in Earth Science
Aren’t hurricanes driven by the ocean temperature, which is not going to be affected much in the short term by more clouds? -
Yes, you could make it rotate. In fact, it’s hard to not have it rotate, which is why you might put gyroscopes on satellites. A version of these, reaction wheels, are used to re-orient some craft. Small satellites also get pushed around and rotate from radiation pressure, called the YORP effect

Dynamic Gravity theory to explain dark matter, cosmic ray energy, etc.
swansont replied to kba's topic in Speculations
! Moderator Note Too bad you didn’t predict these phenomena before they were reported. You still haven’t presented any model that you can point to to say that you could have, despite ample opportunity. So we’re done here. Don’t bring this up again. -
! Moderator Note Your thread on this was locked. Don’t bring it up elsewhere, and don’t hijack threads with your pet theory.

Is Gemini an AI program?

You linked to a dotcom website for no apparent reason other than to have a link to it. The link was removed

A new speculative understanding of the 4th Spatial Dimension
swansont replied to HawkII's topic in Speculations
One thing that’s closed is this thread. -
Plagiarism is not permitted here. It’s generally discouraged everywhere. From where did you copy/paste? Only part of the statement is in unmatched type.

No, they are not. They tell you the strength and direction of the magnetic field. Not the magnetic force I don’t see where you asked a question

2024 Presidential Election: Who should replace Joe Biden?
swansont replied to Alex_Krycek's topic in Politics
Yes, but it’s not like this is a new phenomenon. It’s been true for a very long time. They dig in when you show them - the backfire effect. They need an emotional path to change. -
They aren’t? Are any particles real? The wave function collapse is non-invariant... one reason that comes right to mind is "it's" observer dependent. The very act of observation influences the system so different observers might get different results... so the collapse can vary based on the observer's reference frame. Particles are real in a frame of reference only if they are observer dependent. How could we ever know? Posted just now If a particle’s eave function collapses the particle is in a well-defined state. e.g. an atom in the ground state. That atom can abosorb a photon of a certain energy, while an atom in a different state can’t. Whether or not the atom absorbs a photon can’t be observer dependent. Either it does, or it doesn’t. A particle that’s observer independent? What does that mean? In what way would an electron be observer dependent? What does this have to do with wave function collapse?

I think that it’s present for non-rigid bodies. Deformation from work results in heating Dynamic tidal effects from the moon come from the fact that it revolves around the earth. Not from the rotation of the moon.

I’ve seen this phrasing before and it annoys me, since it sounds like it’s referencing a scientific principle rather than an allowable approximation. It’s just that the difference is so small it can be ignored. You’re releasing or absorbing energy on the scale of eV instead of MeV, and c^2 is of order GeV per amu. So it’s nanograms per mole. Don’t need to account for it. Mass isn’t a conserved quantity. Full stop.
