Nothing is going to be perfect, which leaves us with "lock them all up because we can't be 100% sure" There is no such thing as a 100% safe society, so where do you realistically draw this line? This is a matter of acceptable levels of risk.

But you also cite (paraphrasing) "this is what society wants" and the two are not synonymous. Society's psyche contains an element of revenge. There's a reason the affronted do not get to decide what the punishments is for a crime. Our elected leaders should be implementing a system that does not pander to the baser instincts of the constituents, and instead does what is in society's best interests. Saving society from itself.

! Moderator Note I said none of that. Eversion was a topic of another thread, which was closed. You don’t get to bring it up here. By making this connection, this becomes an argument in bad faith.

I know that’s an idea that’s been kicked around by some. I don’t know how to evaluate it.

To distinguish between how nature behaves and fantasy? Yes, that's one reason.

A black hole might fulfill the reverse of this. I don't know if someone inside a black hole (for however long they could continue to exist) could see outside, and we can't see in. So if there was some inverse of this situation, possibly.

Light doesn't leave or enter the universe. We are inside forever.

There is nothing we can interact with outside of the universe. It is inaccessible to us.

Inflation and expansion are not the same thing. Inflation is an accelerated expansion (i.e. it's a particular form of expansion) Having no central point is associated with expansion in general, not just with inflation. No, not so much. As above, changing scales is a feature of expansion, not just inflation. A meter isn't worth any less owing to expansion. Remember that expansion is only apparent where systems are not gravitationally bound to each other.

6 quarks (up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom) have been identified and confirmed, but none of them were discovered at the LHC. You haven’t done your homework. Your errors are legion, and I doubt anyone is going to rebut all of them

I don’t understand the question. It’s the column number. The actinides and lanthanides require an addition dimension, as it were, because you are now filling an additional shell. Or a much wider table, since you’d need 14 more columns, that would apply to only 2 rows. What is their “correct” position?

What is that first distance? How is it chosen?

Can you link to where you showed the calculation for the synchrotron emission wavelength or frequency?

Updates always remove a feature that you liked. It's the nature of software updates, because in some software engineer's mind, different is needed to justify the update, and so different is considered better. In the user reality, different is automatically worse, because there is a new learning curve involved, and losses of function.

To be fair, we can move in any spatial direction (in principle) but only forward in time. For inertial motion our velocity through spacetime is fixed; the faster we move spatially, the slower we move in time such that our "four-velocity" remains invariant at c. (though we never notice, because for inertial motion we are always at rest and time moves normally for us. It's seen in the measurement by others, who are in a different frame of reference)

Relativity is a well-tested theory of physics, which describes these "restraints" It's the way that nature behaves. These "theories" of other dimensions are not. They are conjecture. Things that can't be modeled or tested are outside of science.

I have just one which has been in use for at least 5 years - I don't recall how long. A light that's on pretty much all the time I'm home and awake. Whenever it goes I will not consider it to be a premature death. (I think I've replaced one CFL bulb in the last 3-4 years. That's it for the modern ones.)

In laminar flow the different layers move at different speeds, which is decidedly not the case with light. Whether the light is focused depends on the optical conditions; it's not an inherent behavior of the light.

My point was that if we have expiring doses then there is no current shortage. And there likely will be no shortage any time soon, because in the early stages of the vax effort one constraint was manufacturing capacity, which was still ramping up. So there should be no problem. The US hit a goal of 100 million doses in Biden's first 100 days, and that was back-heavy, because the delivery in Jan/Feb was lower - the allocation for Pfizer was ~ 2 million doses a week. That quickly ramped up to 5 million per week by the end of March. Anyone in that first cohort needing a second dose would only take 40% of that capacity, leaving millions of doses for the currently unvaccinated. (Pretty sure there is a similar trend for the other options)

Which countries are implementing a vaccination-only strategy? And what is the cost of treatment vs vaccine? The US is throwing out expiring doses, which indicates supply exceeds demand. here's what's happening all across the United States: Millions of vaccine doses at risk of spoiling are sitting on freezer shelves, with no easy way to get them to countries desperately waiting for shots. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/08/10/1025463260/alabama-just-tossed-65-000-vaccines-turns-out-its-not-easy-to-donate-unused-dose
