And if there's more than one?

It must happen often enough if people are trying to treat it https://sleep-doctor.com/blog/does-your-own-snoring-wake-you-up-from-sleep/ https://www.tmjandsleep.com.au/articles/does-own-snoring-wake-you-up-from-sleep/ Not really, since your position is that it doesn’t happen. If it happens at all, it means you’re aware. Not waking up doesn’t necessarily mean you didn’t hear, since you can ignore sounds that aren’t surprising or threatening.

That’s not obvious to me why, and people can wake themselves because of their snoring. Have you ever been awakened by a noise? I have. How can that happen if you aren’t aware?

Did you mean to say this? Anyway, when I dream, I am aware of myself. And from others’ descriptions of dreams, it’s clear that they are aware of themselves. If you aren’t aware of yourself, perhaps that’s unusual? In any event, it’s not universal.

It’s not clear here if you think 10 AU is how far you need to disperse the material. The wikipedia article says “All scales larger than the Jeans length are unstable to gravitational collapse, whereas smaller scales are stable” which implies spreading the material far apart would be an unstable situation. What’s happening is that by spreading the material out the density drops, increasing the Jeans length, but the size of the cloud is smaller than 10AU, so the thermal energy exceeds the magnitude of the gravitational energy. The Jeans length is where they are equal. (It also seems that the analysis ignores the role of inelastic scattering in the process, which I’m sure astrophysicists have noticed, so it’s a more subtle situation, that is, the Jeans length would not be constant in time for a given mass and size)

Fusion would stop and you’re causing an expansion of the gas. So lower, but the sun doesn't have a uniform temperature. As TheVat implied, it’s not a trivial exercise to determine that.

There’s also policy; we know that pollution causes health problems, and government policy sometimes works to undermine protections that could be put in place (by framing it as regulation inhibiting business) There was a recent story about a community that got rid of fluoride in its drinking water and saw a significant spike in dental procedures within a few years. So policy definitely has an impact on health outcomes.

Oh, is that all you’d have to do? </sarcasm>

You don’t dream, aware of yourself?

“space” isn’t a variable, position is. Its conjugate variable is momentum. Time is paired with energy. You can measure time and position to arbitrary precision at the same time. You’d be limited by instrumentation, not the HUP. I wasn’t addressing the OP, I was addressing your claim about calculus somehow being incompatible with the HUP I never said you couldn’t, I pointed out that you weren’t. If you feel that having an error pointed out demeaning I’m sorry, but being corrected is the price of admission to discussions like this. You don’t get to decide what's understandable by others.

No, it actually defines the uncertainty principle. The fact that calculus uses infinitesimals is irrelevant; there’s nothing that says you can’t measure any particular variable to arbitrary precision. The HUP only restricts you from simultaneously measuring one other, specific variable to arbitrary precision at the same time. The HUP is a ramification of QM and GR is a classical theory. You could just as easily claim that classical mechanics is flawed, and it would be just as much bollocks. We know classical theories break down at certain scales. It defines the limit of their applicability. We don’t have any theories that are universal in what they apply to. We don’t use QM to solve for an object being dropped off of a building, or calculating the trajectory of an orbit. You use the model that’s most useful.

Momentum is p. If you want to discuss physics and be understood you need to speak the language. Otherwise nobody knows what you mean. The larger point is that only a very limited set of variables are constrained in this way. It doesn’t apply to most. And calculus itself isn’t the limitation (but it describes the limitation)

That’s not superposition. The uncertainty principle applies to conjugate variables (x an p are, x and y are not), which are fourier transforms of each other, and you find that transform using…calculus.

! Moderator Note Apparently, none of the feedback has sunk in. No, we’re not doing this again. To be clear: the offer to re-introduce the topic was contingent on fixing the flaws that were pointed out, and presenting evidence that supports the idea. Articles that speak of neuron activity do not support it, so sections 1-8 are just a distraction. The problem is poorly defined, and you haven’t fixed that, nor have you changed the approach of stretching the definition of intelligence so far as to being meaningless. Without rigorous definitions, discussion is pointless.

No, I also compared outcomes. The US spends more on healthcare by a significant margin, but this does not translate to the best life expectancy. We are not getting the outcome we should get, given what we pay. If you took Americans and transplanted them to Denmark they’d probably start e.g. biking more, because the Danes have better infrastructure to support that, and other elements that support healthy lifestyle that are deficient in the US. But not because we lack the money. IOW, Danes are not inherently more healthy. It’s the system they live in. But patients might avoid treatment because they lack sufficient insurance, and don’t want to invite the crushing debt that they might incur.

I’m not sure how you make the leap to get to this from what I said. I simply meant that the US pays the most for healthcare but does not have the best healthcare ( measured by life expectancy at birth, for example), by a fair margin. i.e. overall, they are not getting what they pay for.

True; you’ve got the same un- and under-informed slice of the electorate, and perhaps some others who pay some attention but are barely literate, all prone to being hoodwinked by the double-talk and the unobvious consequences of a referendum.

*offer not available in the US Can you provide a link to where you got these infographs? Also you should factor in the cost of living.

Did you check with your municipal waste handlers? Lots of places have a couple of days a year where they handle HAZMAT waste. Also I think some manufacturers will let you print a prepaid shipping label for return to them, like the printing companies do for toner cartridges.

That’s good, but it’s likely not as expensive as e.g. emergency surgery. And if they needed meds, what were they provided? If it was a short-term script, then that’s like stabilizing a patient with a physical ailment, and sending them on their way or transferring them to a “charity” hospital/clinic. The meds run out, and eventually there’s another emergency.

! Moderator Note This is a discussion site, not your blog. What’s the issue to be discussed?

! Moderator Note Violation of rule 2.7. Discussion must happen here, and zip files are a security issue. Link and file removed And: free energy? Ha!

In theory, yes. ERs in the US are obligated to treat all emergencies owing to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) In practice, they would likely be very stingy regarding what is an emergency condition, and do the minimum required.

I think it’s more that he has no real expertise to lend, so it doesn’t matter much.

When you registered your account you agreed to follow the rules of this site. You replied to a post in speculations but it was a new take, meaning you hijacked the thread. That’s against the rules. Preaching is also against the rules. “Scientist have zero for sure proof ANYWHERE about ANYTHING” tells us you don’t really have a grasp of science and are posting in bad faith (another violation) Further, the first rule of the speculations section is “Speculations must be backed up by evidence or some sort of proof. If your speculation is untestable, or you don't give us evidence (or a prediction that is testable), your thread will be moved to the Trash Can. If you expect any scientific input, you need to provide a case that science can measure” which is why you were admonished for not using science references, and why the post was put into the trash - we told you that would happen, if you had bothered to check. If you’re referring to your right under the first amendment of the US Constitution, you still haven’t. That means the government can’t silence you. We’re not the government and can moderate as we wish. Your speech wasn’t erased, but it was moved, because this site has rules, you broke several of them, and that’s what happens. If you complain about this elsewhere, make sure you point out that you broke the rules. You wouldn’t want to bear false witness. Oh, and “The Bible is recanted live stories” probably isn’t what you meant to say. But it’s a funny typo.
