That would explain all the bugs

And I still think you would learn more from calculating some numbers yourself instead of expecting someone else to do it for you.

Why not work out what the force is and then multiply it by 10 or 100 and see if it will overcome gravity. But I don't know how you think you can enhance the Earth's magnetic field...

Then this is all a bit pointless. In refraction, different frequencies are "bent" by different amounts. This is why we see rainbows. This doesn't happen with gravitational lensing. But, sure, go ahead and make something else up about this not happening with your magic QPs. If you have one explosion, you get a wave. If you have multiple explosions happening all over the place at random, you just get random noise, not a wave. Think of raindrops falling on the surface of a pond. It doesn't cause waves, just random ripples that don't go anywhere. So all you're saying is that the background radiation is made of photons. We already know that. We also have theory that exactly predicts its spectrum and temperature. Your vague waffle can't predict anything. But you are just making stuff up. (I don't know where "know the truth" and "everything else is bullshit" came from). I just think it is a bit pointless to decide you don't understand or don't like science and then make up fairy tales instead. Not really, no. Every other theory started with science. Not fantasy. And before you can design experiments you need to be able to make testable (ie. quantitative, measurable) predictions. Can you? No.

Why not work it out? If you know the current and the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field it is easy.

What is an "edegy boi"?

The frequency is determined by the size and the "cut" of the crystal. Crystals are manufactured with a range of different frequencies. 32kHz is useful, as you say, for real time clocks. Microcontrollers typically use crystals with a frequency of 10MHz to 15MHz - this is multiplied up internally to the microcontroller to provide the different frequencies used by the bus, processor, memory, etc. Other systems use clocks of different frequencies. Although crystals provide a stable frequency reference, the frequency can also be adjusted over a small range by changing the load capacitance in the circuit.

What do you expect when you base your "theory" on magic? You should be pleased that anyone is engaging in a. serious discussion at all, and not just laughing at you.

Is your model based on the idea of an explosion of "stuff" into empty space? (It looks like it, but I have trouble following your description.) What is the strength of this force? Is it purely attractive? Does it follow an inverse-square law or some other fiction? What does "resonation" mean? How much mass is "too much"? What is this "force created by the QP movement"? Why would it cause waves, rather than just random movement (like Brownian motion)? Waves imply that these disintegrations happen in a coordinated way: why? Sigh. Do we really need to go through all the reasons why push gravity is impossible? Again? This was abandoned 200 years ago. You need a material with physically impossible and contradictory properties. (For example, it has to flow through things with no effect but all be able to push them.) Even then, it is not clear that it can reproduce Newtonian gravity. And it certainly can't reproduce GR. Unless, of course, you have the math to show otherwise? So now, suddenly, these mysterious QPs are photons? But there is no attractive force between photons. In which case, we would see dispersion. We don't. How? That is not really a good reason to make stuff up. It might be a good reason to be motivated to learn science though.

You could always look at other courses to "top up" your math knowledge as you need it. I didn't study CS (it didn't exist as a subject when I went to university!) and my math was always terrible, but I got by working alongside PhDs, etc. I learnt programming languages, architectures and math as I needed them. The math you need will depend very much what area you go into. For example, some of my colleagues worked on automated theorem proving and formal proofs of software and hardware designs. This meant using higher order logic (that I never fully understood). There were also specialised languages for writing specifications and for manipulating them. (BTW, some of these guts were *really* smart and did amazing things, but you would never ask them to write production code!) So, I think if you learn the basics and are always willing to study and learn more, you should be OK.

Presumably the same unknown mechanism that cause the Earth to blow up like a balloon. And that same magic hides the hollow centre.

It (the "damping" effect; ie. absorption) depends on the frequency. Water has little effect on many frequencies (it is transparent, for example, so has little effect on light). But it will strongly absorb some radio frequencies (this is why microwave ovens work). You mention mechanical vibration - that has nothing to do with electromagnetic radiation except when it is absorbed and heats the water.

And that is due to the presence of mass. To me, if anyone says "the speed of light" without qualification, they mean "the speed of light in a vacuum".

Important point to clarify. One could also consider the difference between coordinate speed versus the proper speed of light. For example, when light passes a massive object like a black hole, it takes longer to arrive (this is known as Shapiro delay). So if we take the distance travelled and time taken, we might say that the light travelled at less than c. But at every point along that path, local observers would measure the speed of light to be c.

FFS. That has nothing to do with gluten in food. No. You would be better relying on Wikipedia, which is usually OK for science related subjects, than some people who post here. It is an important component of wheat flour, and many other ingredients. Good bread depends on the presence of gluten, for example.

The speed of light was first measured from Jupiter. But it depends what you mean by "significant". But if the speed of light were different, that would affect many physical processes - such as the fusion that powers starts (e=mc2 and all that). As far as we can tell, distant stars behave just the same as nearby ones. Also, Maxwell's equations predicts the constant and invariant speed of light. And they seem to work wherever we look too. Then we have theories based on the constant and invariant speed of light; and those theories have been tested to high levels of accuracy. So, basically, the speed of light is fundamental to many aspects of the universe. If it carried, we would see evidence of that (and people have looked).

That might be OK (kind of) for programming, where you find out pretty quickly what you need to know when you start writing code. But you might still miss out on learning important things like standard algorithms, data structures, structured and object-oriented programming, patterns, etc. I have worked with a few excellent self-taught programmers, but have also seen the absolute worst code from others. For a subject like computer science, it would be much harder to just do it yourself because, as you say, you need a teacher to tell you what you need tolerant (and then help you learn it). I suppose if you could get hold of a detailed syllabus, you could teach yourself. But most people find a structured course far easier. Not all computer science graduates go on to write software (as their main activity). It could be a good basis for getting into computer architecture or systems analysis among other things.

Can we be sure that the AI judges won't be more favourable to the AI lawyers than human ones?

As far as we know, quarks are fundamental particles (like electrons, for example). So they are not made of anything except quark.

And it is a stupid point. There are any number of things that people will use as excuses to trick people. "You have won a prize", "You have an unpaid invoice", "Your tax refund is due", "Meet beautiful girls", "Problem with your order", "Confirm your bank details", "Check your privacy settings". The solution is obviously not to get rid of competitions, online shopping, taxes, dating, shopping, banking or GDPR. Is that your way of saying that you don't have a solution? How exactly do you replace data stored on the client with information stored on the server? Just saying "use HTML tags" isn't much better than saying "magic" without an explanation of how it would work. I am fairly confident that my bank is better than average. But I wouldn't trust them completely, any more than I would any other online service. However, that obviously has absolutely nothing to do with cookies. A website can be secure or insecure without using cookies. A website can steal your personal data without using cookies.

Have you calculated the force yet? Two paragraphs later it says: There are already free electrons, because it's a conductor. That is for a plate carrying current, not a rotating charged ring. In the later case there is no current. Maybe I'm wrong about that. It doesn't really matter until you have calculated the magnitude of the force generated.

Travelling at more than light speed allows communication back in time via a process called the tachyonic anti-telephone: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyonic_antitelephone Talking of which, the properties of tachyons might answer some of your questions: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon

You are right. I have never heard those names before! Wikipedia has the more general name "disentanglement puzzles" which include these and similar things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_puzzle
