Glaswegians too Should be given their notice if they can't talk intelligible. Mind you I mightn't be happy if Danish english became the norm (or Bronxese)

Prechance you are right. Higgsactly

You mean a predant?

I learned that some 50 years ago when being taught ancient Greek.It was a characteristic of the many regional dialects at that time to change the position of the "r" to after from before the vowel. (from the standard language we were taught) I assume this prolly continues across other languages across the ages and I include it in my own familial dialect now and then as a bit of fun. So a tried and tested feature of the natural evolution of language. Try not to be a dinosaur.It may not be a successful strategy

That is the risk , that we end up making class judgements on whole categories of people The French tried to keep Englishisms out of the language top down (le weekend,le pc etc) but Plastic Bertrand wasn't paying attention (a Belgian anyway) "It's not today que le ciel tombera sur ma tête" https://www.thefamouspeople.com/profiles/plastic-bertrand-6921.php

Well in the example I just gave I had my own mother down as a snob for using "amn't" and not "aren 't" when I expect you know it is fairly commonly used in Ireland, where she was brought up.

I'm real energised with this thread amn't I? https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/arent-i-or-are-i-not-correct-usage

Can you explain?(Would you be so kind?😉 )

Good

Perhaps they could create such a language merely for the purposes of computers to use,so that ambiguity could be kept to a minimum. Say for programs that are very sensitive to bad consequences in the event of misinterpretation such as nuclear firing or dating apps( a wind up might imply light ribbing or a case of flatulence) For the general public ,no but maybe just possibly for real time translation between Trump and Zelensky?

Is the new LHC off to a blinder? https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-62027238 "Pentaquarks: scientists find new "exotic" configurations of quarks" Or is this from the old LHC?

There is this 100 tonne sand battery in Finland that goes to 500°C https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-61996520 "Climate change: 'Sand battery' could solve green energy's big problem" Plus this link from that BBC article https://www.nrel.gov/news/program/2021/nrel-options-a-modular-cost-effective-build-anywhere-particle-thermal-energy-storage-technology.html

Yes that idea was in the back of my mind.I don't know how supported or credible that would be .

I was really just looking for a souped up version of what Swansont posted up above A 3d version of that which could be played from different reference frames and might show the effect of disturbances to the system (eg what would happen to the shapes of the different gravity wells -and positions of the objects at their centres- if a rogue planet passed through the Solar System?)

Was his principle aim to "stop the confirmation "? Might he have thought his physical presence would have created the chaos needed to interrupt the ceremony and buy time that could be used to raise further spurious objections to the formality of the handling over of power? Was he more greedy or fearful I wonder -or just omnipotent in his own head.

Is this example(the event horizon of a black hole and a distant observer) any different qualitatively from a corresponding relationship btw any two frames of reference in that they equally do not share any sense of simultaneity . Is the former relationship just an extreme example of the latter?

OK ,so if we can substitute "energy " for "mass"(with the conversion factor,c^2) is there an intuitive way to understand why this energy causes a more or less proportional resistance to acceleration ? If we just consider a massive object like a proton would the energy be bound up in the constituent particles and the forces holding them together (the bonds)? -and so would also describe the "mass"... Maybe your last bit about expanding the equation to include massless particles would need its own thread?

An extremely big BH (maybe one that gobbled up all the others ,if that could happen) would have a curvature approaching zero at its EH,is what I was thinking

I note that both these seem to give rise to spacetime curvature What might be the apparent connection between them? Is mass a measure of some sort of concentration of the various fields? (If that means anything )

Is there any kind of a "sweet spot" between BHs with infinite curvature and zero curvature? Or are there any degrees of curvature that are more interesting in ways than others?

To tell the truth I am slightly disappointed that Trump actually tried to go to the Capitol as I had him down as a physical coward who would lead from the back. Maybe the source is the big Doh ,trying to big himself up?

Ah,yes.Actually I hadn't actually got round to looking at it but yes it would be the gravity wells depiction that I was after (but with the full-ish SR effects included -and "playable" ). I imagine that at some academic or research level such simulations might be in use but probably not for the general public. In the past Markus has shown me gravity simulations on a 2d level where there were settings that could be adjusted for mass and position but that was not quite what I had in mind now.

Carol Leonnig was pretty impressive.

Ok,thanks.

Well if the neutrino undergoes a change in flavour doesn't that imply some sort of internal mechanism?
