You seem confused about very many things ...
-
I'm willing to take bets ... I say in 10 days your demerit points will have exceeded your post count.

A Friedmann died in 1925, at the age of 37.

The 'final parsec problem' is not an observational problem; we know that SMBHs merge. Computational modelling, however, fails to predict this, and SMBH merger simulations stall at about one parsec due to an effect termed dynamic gravitational drag. This suggests we don't have all the variables, or appropriate boundary conditions, in our computational model. Dark matter, and its interaction in relation to dynamic gravitational drag, could be a solution. This in no way explains what dark matter is, but it might point to some properties of dark matter that allow for the overcoming of the final parsec problem, and help discriminate between possible dark matter contending models/particles. It is akin to the galaxy rotation curve problem; dark matter is a possible solution.

Most people who 'find' science have no further need to find God. I suggest you never did 'find' science, because science provides a very clear path for making sense of the world, without invoking mystical beings. Your posts are sufficient proof that you need to do a lot more searching to find science.

The word universe means 'all that there is'. Talking about the 'outside' and 'shape' of the universe ( or depth, width and center ) means that there is something outside of 'all that there is'. Nonsense by definition. I had hopes for this thread when you first started it, but then you started posting nonsense like the above. You're quickly running out of chances.

This not specific enough for you ?

This is a science forum where we discuss science, and where theories have a specific meaning and purpose. They are models, mostly mathematical, which explain ( in limited applicability ) the workings of the universe, to further our understanding of it. So here is a question for you ... How does any of what you posted explain the workings or further our understanding of the universe ? If it is just nonsense, we really don't want to waste our time with you, and it was my intention to ignore you ( you didn't make a good first impression ), but some other members are more generous than I am, decided to help you sort out your thoughts, and failed as you resisted every attempt. Being a respected member of this forum is more than staying calm when told you are wrong, and saying please and thank you; it is also about the quality of your posts, less nonsense, more verifiable/cited facts/evidence, and more questions about what you don't know without the wild ass guesswork. You are running out of chances to earn that respect, but I suspect you have a couple left; this one didn't work out, try again.

Based on how some people think the world works, it's a wonder they made it past puberty, never mind 60, 110, or forever.

A superfluid is characterized by no ( or very close ) viscosity; look it up on Wiki. Once set in motion or spinning, it will do so indefinitely as it has no internal friction. It will 'climb' up the sides of open containers, against gravity, and escape, coating inside and outside walls. It will not demonstrate shearing stresses between differing flows, or boundary surfaces ( no boundary layer ). It will, in effect, present a frictionless surface to whatever is floating the magnet; so what is compelling the magnet to move ??? And if there is no motion, there is no induction to consider. Physics 101: Will a rotating tire on a frictionless surface move the car ???
-
A superfluid will rotate almost indefinitely due to almost zero frictional losses, and viscosity. The floating platform supporting the magnet will not be dragged along because it has inertia and no friction to drag it. ( the fluid is essentially a 'frictionless' surface ) If it did, the fluid would need to do work to overcome the inertia, and the energy to do that work would need to come from somewhere as we have well established conservation laws. You cannot make a perpetual 'lighting' machine.

A liquid crystal display essentially orients 'liquid' crystals so that they act like shutters on a window. They need some sort of illumination behind the 'shutter' so you can see an image. The old color LCD displays worked similarly, and as a result, could never produce deep black color, as the 'shutters' don't seal very well.The problem was solved when they developed blue LEDs so that an RGB display would have 3 thin-film transistors at each pixel that emit their own light and have no need for a separate backlight. I remember depositing thin films of various types, under vacuum, onto glass substrates, in 3rd year Uni, then applying a voltage across the film and causing it to go opaque, but I don't quite understand what you would do with it? could you elaborate further ?

You would be surprised how many Democrats and progressives identify as Christians. They just prefer to dissociate their Religion from their politics/governance. You might just be confused by far-right Republicans who claim that God is on their side in order to take advantage of uneducated people who only know religion.

Some of us ( I think Eise has expressed the same sentiment ) don't hand out neg rep points, but we are fine handing out positive ones. If I don't like a particular post I prefer explaining why, if I'm even interested in the subject matter. In this case John John was acting like a petulant child, who, when told he was wrong, stomped his feet, cried, and insisted he was right. That is not a discussion, and INow called him out on it. Hopefully he will have calmed down and be ready for civil discourse when he's welcomed back.
-
Yes ... We all did. And we all gave you our opinion, yet you keep asking the same question over and over, and adding different quotes from a book which is full of people's opinions from 1600 to 1900 years ago. Our opinions have not changed over the last three pages. Did you not read them ???
-
He's not 'chasing' you, just giving you helpful advice. And he's not the omly one who thinks you're acting like a troll; everyone who has interacted with you does also. Surely that can't be a coincidence ...
-
From this response ( and your immature attitude ) I assume you're 14 years old, and have never seen a film camera, where the light ( photons ) interact with chemicals on the film to produce an image. Ahhh, youth. Spouting all sorts of nonsense, and thinking you're always right.
-
Lets assume you are correct; we live in a dark universe where there are no photons but only electrical signals reaching the brain. Whatdoes a camera 'see' when it takes a picture ???
-
Thank you. There is no tail; just electrical signals to the brain.
-
I gotta admit I loved this line I haven't a clue what you mean by it ( or maybe you haven't a clue ). I think you should discuss this with John John in the "Photons and Light" thread. Apparently there is no light, no double slit, no diffraction pattern and no detector/observer; it is all just electrical signals to the brain.
-
There is no meat, just electrical signals to the brain.

The 'big books' of science are are factual and explain the science as we understand it. If you think they are complicated then you obviously don't understand them, and, as a result, you are confused. Have I have made it simple for you to understand ?

Disappeared/eroded ??? Old circuit boards with copper traces, a thousandth of an inch gold plating, and old tin solder on top, are regularly sent overseas, where they reclaim the gold plating. Gold Recovery : 8 Steps (with Pictures) - Instructables So obviously it does not disappear.
-
It is not a causation but a correlation. The same uneducated, southern, 'white trash', rednecks who are easily taken in by D Trump/Republican lies and disinformation, are also easy prey for organized Religion.

I believe I already stated that ... Jowever the value od that dollar is clearly defined in that particular country's currency at any money exchange location. Ot might differ slightly from day to day as exchange rates usually do, but its value is defined. Same with oil and Gold prices. And the intrinsic value of Platinum is not its use in a catalytic converter, unless that use is defined also. If the defined use is not considered, the only value any object has, is related to its unchanging properties, like mass, color, shape, etc. There, now I've become pedantic also.
