You realize that Galactic North and South are purely arbitrary distinctions ? It is an accepted convention that keeps everyone 'on the same page'.

I can see such a need for places where young people need to move away from their elderly parents ( as has been mentioned about China, and Southern Italy which I'm familiar with ) in order to find employment, but why are their families abandoning their parents, or sending them into retirement homes in places like the US and Canada ? Parents deserve better than an app; their families should care for them.

Ahh, fond memories of Hollerith pinch card machines from the mid 70s. And a stack of cards about 6 inches high, each with one line of FORTRAN IV code, solving for the energy levels of the Helium atom by numerical methods. Tedious and frustrating, but I would gladly do it every day again, if I could be 21 years old again.

My app would activate every few days. I'm at work 12 hours, for 7 days every 2 weeks. Actually closer to 13 hours counting travel time. Most phones have 'health' apps or motion detectors; if no activity is detected by the phone in 12 hours, it should message your contact. Then again, I've been known to sleep for 12 hours as well ...

I thought Klein-Gordon was virtually un-useable, and the Dirac Equation replaced it. See here ... ( since you like his videos also )

From a QM standpoint, if all motion ceases at absolute zero, quantum particles have no momentum and their position is fixed. An impossibility according to Heisenberg. In Quantum Field Theory, this video does a better job than I could of both, QFT fundamentals, and minimum allowed energy. ( and I like his videos )

Energy prices have shot up ( along with everything else ) under the leadership of His Orangeness. In Western New York, and others on the Eastern seaboard, they buy Ontario's and Qjuebec's surplus Hydro at tariff-free, reduced prices. Swansont, and many others in Western New York, didn't vote for Trump, and I feel for them otherwise, I'd say "cut off their Hydro'. ( we can't do that anymore with our oil, because now he's stolen Venezuela's reserves )

And how does entropy reset itself when everything collapses to the same temperature ? Will it need to have a quantum fluctuation restart the cycle ?

😃 😄 🤣

Saaw CotG in the late 70s ( my teens ). Sure, I was a skeptic also. But it did make me think. Thank you E VD.

He is also signaling regime change in Iran. Trump and his 'minions' have said that the Ayatollah is looking to leave ( or be killed ), and that the US will protect the protesters. Meanwhile, in the USA, his DHS is shooting peaceful protesters in the face. Give that some thought ...

Some sedimentary layers surmount while some subside according to the geology of the mantle in that location. So I guess the answer is "It depends".

But when human judgement is also non-sensical, crazy, or stupid, neither one 'corrects' the other; you end up with double nonsense, crazy and more stupid.

Newton also dabbled in alchemy. How did that work out ? I guess we're all human, and even geniuses have their faults.

Including the nonsense, crazy, and stupid. The danger is some of us can't discern that from valid information. You know, the kind we used to get from books, which had undergone a vetting process to validate any contained information.

D Trump is now doubling down on his intent to take Greenland, the easy way, or the hard way. One of the channels I regularly follow ( mostly for military interests ) is M Shurkin's Pax Americana, and he took a very balanced approach to D Trump's invasion and abduction. He states that everyone should be glad that Maduro is gone, but that a dangerous precedent has been set, which will lead Trump to pursue objectives ( like Greenland ) which shouldn't make anyone glad.

My thoughts are already fairly 'scattered', I certainly don't need Grok to add to the confusion. ( It would be like trying to work on a problem with E Musk whispering nonsense in your ear )

Or three, or 4, or 5, or ... Or an infinity, depending on how many different observers/interactors there are.

It seems like everything that affects people, during the last 5 years, in a way that makes them ill, gets blamed on the vaccine. One younger married guy I know, was ill during the last couple of years. He was a big guy, and he lost half his body weight, but had recently recuperated, and was back to normal. Just the other day someone told me he had committed suicide ( by hanging ) and suggested it all stems from him having had 4 Covid vaccines that had messed with his body and his mind. I just took in the sad news and didn't even bother to engage/correct him.

What does that make the people who use it ?

This is more clearly understood from an entropic consideration. When the whole universe achieves maximum entropy, there is no more useable energy to do any work, however there is still ground state, or xero point, energy, as that is a property pf quantum systems, and this implies that the universe keeps expanding, making interactions ( of any kind ) more and more rare. One of the last interactions that may supply useable energy is proton decay, but that is hypothetical in some theories, and protons are expected to have lifetimes about 25 orders of magnitude greater than the current age of the universe.

We have many hi-rise apartment buildings in hi-density areas like downtown Toronto, where the lowest floor has all the amenities for living life without a vehicle. Things like grocery stores, restaurants, Tim Horton's, a gym, etc. The building becomes its own little community, and if you work in one of the places on the ground floor, you never have to leave the building.

Actually the neutrinos will get here slightly ahead of the photons we see from the supernova. Although the neutrinos travel slightly slower than the photons, they travel un-impeded through the exploding stellar plasma, while photons take considerable time to make their way through

More time wasted. Nobody here wants to discuss anything with Grok. ( read the rules before you go any further ) If you want to ask questions there are many members who will try to help you. Good luck.

Our medical system in Canada recommends a colonoscopy every 5 years starting at age 50. I was already overdue by about 10 years. Not that bad; worst part is the prep the night before. They videotape it also, so you get to make your fist porn video as well.
