  1. I’m not sure why Fp made an appearance, but yes. It’s basic algebra.
  2. Try using formulas that only use fundamental constants. Not Planck units. So you can simplify. e.g. G is going to cancel out of the planck length and mass, as well as a factor of c.
  3. A single photon won’t have a single frequency; that requires a plane wave. You will have some distribution that can be narrow, depending on the source.
  4. Not sure why you think this is important You can say that, but it’s meaningless. I can’t unpack your misconception(s) from this scenario.
  5. Post the formula for all of your terms, and simplify. It might be illuminating. Attacking this numerically is the wrong approach, IMO. It introduces opportunities for round-off errors
  6. Perhaps you could present a simpler scenario in order to clear up your confusion. Hydrogen will remain hydrogen in any chemical reaction.
  7. ! Moderator Note You need more rigor, and also need to summarize the videos, in order to be compliant with our rules
  8. If the mirror is the same size and you move it radially, the solid angle changes. If nothing else is affected, yes
  9. The amount of hydrogen will not change in a chemical reaction. The number of neutrons+protons will not change in either a chemical or nuclear reaction The amount if mass in the system will change; it will typically be much larger in a nuclear reaction, as has already been discussed
  10. As long as the solid angle is the same, I expect no change
  11. ! Moderator Note That link takes me to a trailer for "The Cleaners" You need a proper link, and a better description/explanation than “a report on moderators for social sites in the near days“
  12. Moreno’s gone, but I will bring up one example I was just reminded about: wage theft is not a criminal act. If your employer shorts your paycheck, they haven’t broken a criminal law. If you take something of value from your employer, you have. In the former case, you will likely have to go through a civil process to recover the stolen money. Not everyone can afford a lawyer to do this. In the latter case, the state will handle prosecution. One of the inequalities baked into the system that benefits whites at the expense of minorities
  13. If the photon isn’t observed and the emission is in a random direction, there is a probability sphere that’s isotropic. It’s not going to be detectable everywhere, but is detectable anywhere Intuition seems right edit: xpost with joigus
  14. At some point when there are more outliers, they aren’t outliers anymore
  15. Moving the goalposts. You’re talking about a scenario before he was apprehended. He was handcuffed. Presumably frisked. How many guns does a person have access to while handcuffed by police? How was he a threat to shoot anyone? Which isn’t the issue here. But for the sake of argument, let’s say he had a gun before being disarmed and handcuffed. Would that justify the policeman’s actions?
  16. Which irrelevant to the incident being discussed. Unarmed and handcuffed. You could, I dunno, ask the people to disperse as a first effort. You could avoid being the ones to initiate violence.
  17. bryozoa has earned a short suspension for some posts that are rather astounding in their level of denial and appeal to conspiracy
  18. Your argument is inconsistent. The example of the bat hitting the ball is not one of equilibrium, and you correctly apply the third law, so I don’t see why you insist that equilibrium must be present. If something is not in equilibrium, it means that the pseudoforce that one might be tempted to invoke will not have a reaction pairing.
  19. ! Moderator Note You are free to peddle your nonsense elsewhere
  20. Great, you’ve watched Robocop. Will you answer the question?
  21. I agree that it’s largely electrostatic energy, but it’s also true that the protons can only be in such proximity because the nuclear force permits it. So the nuclear coupling plays a role IOW, all else being equal, if the nuclear coupling were weaker, you’d expect the energy released in fission to drop as well, by some factor that was related to the coupling, because the nucleon spacing would increase in the parent and fission fragments
  22. Are you saying that this is the result of some interaction, or is it just coincidence? The relative strength of the electromagnetic interaction is tied to the fine structure constant, and has no mass term (the strong nuclear coupling is ~1)
  23. ! Moderator Note Perhaps with ideas like this, you could get a blog, and post it there? This isn’t really posing a question or inviting discussion.
  24. You like it when police are brutal? What circumstance justifies being brutal?
  25. Anthropogenic Global Warming.
