I think your basic idea of looking at the frequency of particular combinations words, is sound. That is how babies learn the sounds of language, where word-breaks are and the meaning and grammar of the language. So good luck with it.

It wasn't me. And, as far as I can tell, it wasn't random. It was based on your behaviour. YOUR behaviour. Only you can change that.

Then start behaving like a responsible member of the forum.

Then maybe you need to explain. It was not a straw man; I was just explaining the only meaning I could extract from your incoherent rambling.

Electron - electron collisions
Strange replied to Moontanman's topic in Modern and Theoretical Physics
As you don't provide a link to your sources, one can't verify this. But if you are referring to wikipedia, for example, they have very strict rules about providing references to support the statements made. You would do well to follow their lead. And you might also want to get yourself a decent dictionary and look up the word "plagiarism". -
Saturday Morning Breakfast ... no, that's not it. Super massive black hole.

I think you have come to the wrong place. Try twitter.com

Perhaps you need to go and learn what a frame of reference is. And then what "preferred" means.
-
Huh? I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. The only sense I can get from it is that he thinks transgender or homosexual people should not be allowed to do science. That seems bizarre, but people do have odd beliefs. Is that supposed to be an example of political correctness or apolitical correctness? If you are unable to make sense, perhaps the mods should just close this thread.

You can still provide a link. You can even provide a link to the specific section. You can quote the relevant text. You have no excuse.
-
You are missing the point. 1. Stop posting uncredited images. 2. Don't post images instead of text and/or a link. Even if I could make out the text in the image, I can't quote it. In short, stop being a dick.

Entanglement and "spooky action at a distance"
Strange replied to geordief's topic in Quantum Theory
I would also like to know how you think a gyroscope is relevant.... -
They are still unreadable. And WHY post an image in the first place. It is an idiotic thing to do. Please stop. PROVIDE LINKS.

No. -
Why are you posting screen shots of Wikipedia pages that no one can read, instead of just a link? What is wrong with you.

Hijack from Science and the Uni- multiverse (whichever you prefer)
Strange replied to Unified Field's topic in Speculations
1B is not correct. Gravity affects everything, including light. It would, in principle become infinite, not indefinite. But that can never happen, so it is irrelevant. This is where relying purely on "logic" (by which I assume you mean something like common sense) isn't really enough. You really need to work out exactly how much the effective mass of the particles would increase by. So at 99.999% the speed of light, the mass would increase by a factor of about 224. A proton would still only weight 4 x 10-22 grams. Not really devastating. Obviously stronger fields are required to keep them on track and accelerate them. But the required strength of these is exactly as predicted by theory. Nowhere near. Guesses are just not the right way to do science. As nothing can travel at or faster than the speed of light, this thought experiment is irrelevant. But your guess that it would be seen as going back in time is just wrong. I guess this is based on Superman films, or something, rather than science. Which (despite the flaws in the logic) is evidence that they don't have mass. The fact that time is relative (depending on gravity, relative speed, etc) is a result of the fact that the speed of light is invariant. It only requires quite simple logic to show this for speed. But you don't want any theory, so I will skip it. Science lessons at school? -

Strange replied to Unified Field's topic in Speculations
What, just because they l’ok superficially similar? That’s not how science works, I’m afraid. That’s an impressive leap. Science works and therefore your personal idea of god exists? Why your god, why not Odin or Amaterasu? Being able to image the event horizon will be impressive. But I think the size and mass of the central object is already constrained such that a black hole is the only possible explanation. That is based on "facts" just as much as direct imaging would be. Because they don't have any results yet. And whatever the results are, it will be an advance for science: if it shows a black hole of the predicted size, yet more evidence supporting GR. If it shows there is nothing there at all: yay! New science. If it is much larger than expected, then that is also exciting. -
They do, yes. Or, volume is not an object.

That is not a preferred frame of reference.
-
Nope. GR is a classical theory, so all of this is irrelevant.

1. Being a twin is not unique in this. Surely the same us true of having blue eyes, being tall and many other characteristics. 2. I don’t see how being male or female is political. 3. Providing definitions of the words apolitical and correctness does not clarify what you mean by the phrase. You have done nothing to clarify the point of this thread.

They have a non-zero interaction cross section. (Basically because the electromagnetic field does not require a direct hit.)
