The objection is that the earth does not need to support biological life. Many planets most likely do not support life (and if they do, then that blows the argument that you must have a certain composition out of the water, so to speak). "Need" is not the proper way to address this; it anthropomorphizes the dynamic and that's not warranted. It's also a small detail in a larger discussion, but unfortunately the OP introduced this awkward phrasing.

Thermodynamics isn't a force A lot of thermodynamics relationships involve energy, because there are systems where you either know energy is conserved, or can track the energy entering and leaving the system. That's true, but not particularly relevant. Physics boils down to what problems you can solve, and since energy is a conserved quantity, that's one of the useful quantities to track.

You can't validly use Bell's theorem where it doesn't apply. You have described a classical system, not a quantum one, and Bell only applies to quantum systems. Again: where's the science? What's the point of doing this (i.e. how will it apply to actual science being done?)

If we eliminate that exception, we can certainly adopt his "I only tip for exceptional service" attitude

Did a dog write this?

You talking to me? yes, I have done this. When I raise myself up on my toes, the reading on my scale increases above my weight by a few pounds. If I am settling back down, it decreases below my weight. That's consistent with a physics analysis. In order to have a +y acceleration, there must be a force greater than the weight acting on the person. Consequently, the person must be exerting a force greater than the weight on the scale. AFAIK my scale is basically a spring scale - just a pad with some internal components. I can only conclude that your scale has some interesting goings-on for your reading to go down, but then, we also know a pendulum doesn't work properly when accelerating, so a cantilever might be similarly perturbed. It might be fun to analyze why this happens. The concept is like the scale reading on an elevator https://lhsblogs.typepad.com/files/apparent-weight.pdf

If the only thing that's either/or is whether you're playing or not, that's not like entanglement. One player is always in the act receiving the shot, the other is making or has made the shot. That would be analogous to entanglement. If you identify which player is doing one act, then you know the other player is performing the other act. So what? Where's the science?

How does your hypothesis match up with the evidence? There is historical data that tells us the CO2 and O2 levels in the past. Also, the levels varied before humans were on the planet; we've really only had the ability to make a significant change in very recent times. Go back ~40 million years and CO2 levels were twice what they are today. But no humans.

So you agree that your claim "My hypothesis is that a human body can lift itself by a force far less than its weight" is wrong?

In the context of Area54's and my comments, one might say "biological life on the planet needs a certain atmospheric warmth and make up"

There are also numbers for hospitalization and deaths, in addition to the asymptomatic cases. 100% effectiveness is pretty good, IMO. https://www.wfla.com/community/health/coronavirus/astrazeneca-vaccine-shows-100-effectiveness-preventing-covid-hospitalization-death-in-us-study/ Although AstraZeneca’s vaccine has been authorized in more than 50 countries, it has not yet been given the green light in the U.S. The U.S. study comprised more than 30,000 volunteers, of whom two-thirds were given the vaccine while the rest got dummy shots. In a statement, AstraZeneca said its COVID-19 vaccine had a 79% efficacy rate at preventing symptomatic COVID and was 100% effective in stopping severe disease and hospitalization. Investigators said the vaccine was effective across all ages, including older people — which previous studies in other countries had failed to establish.

It's a bad one, then. Entanglement means you can't treat particles as separate, independent entities. If you measure one particle, you instantly know that state of its entangled partner, because they can be treated as a single entity. There's no reason for there to be a delay.

That would be one of the “many factors” I mentioned. Not that there are no generators, as such, but the logistics of fueling them and difficulty in operating them have an impact.

! Moderator Note Do you have a model that makes testable predictions? Is your proposal falsifiable?

The press usually reports announcements and agreements. I’m wondering why you’re having a hard time coming up with anything. On 10 February, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen acknowledged the EU's vaccine rollout failures, saying: "We were late to authorise. We were too optimistic when it came to massive production and perhaps too confident that what we ordered would actually be delivered on time." https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-56286235

A scenario expressly excluded in this discussion by the OP

How are they “entangled”?

Repeating this doesn’t make it true.

Yes, and they backed off the example (agreeing it was “extreme”). You brought it up again as if that didn’t happen. Can we please discuss actual cases, instead of manufactured ones?

Useless links in that last sentence. The US agreement happened first, so perhaps they weren’t “yours” “in the event the European Union approved the COVID-19 Vaccine” sounds a lot like no agreement was in place. They made a prediction, not a promise. Why should they know, for a vaccine where they have no experience bringing it to market? You can make a prediction, assuming things go mostly right, and then things don’t go right. Some people are going to choose irrationally, regardless

Mike Tyson as a transgender fighter isn’t honest discussion, and I’m not really pleased with the insinuation that I’m the one not engaging in it. “you know what he meant” is another line that has no place here. I can only go by what people say. I don’t read minds.

What advantages would offshore have? How about providing the historical data/trends? That depends on multiple factors. It’s being implemented in the arctic and in Antarctica, so latitude is not inherently a showstopper

Which hasn’t happened, so it’s not an example. It’s conjecture. It’s made up, and as such not constrained by facts.

! Moderator Note You’ve already been told you aren’t allowed to advertise your pet theories in other threads, and you can’t build one speculation on top of another.

And yet, in applying the equation, we see that the force on the current-carrying wire does not depend on the field generated by the wire. The current gives all the information we need. IOW you’re confusing the equation with some description of the details of the interaction That’s exactly what you expect if the force depends on the current.
