Can you show that your model predicts the observed rotation curves of galaxies?

Infra-red, not UV. http://www.ipac.caltech.edu/outreach/Edu/Herschel/backyard.html I don't think we can take anything you say seriously. They do.

Art will regin when he reach 100% efficiencies in all the sciences
Strange replied to Elite Engineer's topic in The Lounge
How do you know that? -
Does someone want to understand the corioliseffect ?
Strange replied to Tahir Gorgen's topic in Speculations
Why should I? The Wikipedia explanation seems perfectly clear. I think Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis beat you by 180 years. But never mind. -

Your beliefs and assertions about this are not evidence of the role of the Quran compared with other influences. YooToob is not a credible source, Still waiting for evidence ... Thank you. It would be nice to see comparisons with other countries, to see how Pakistan compares. Interesting to see that there are more women than men in higher education ...

Strange replied to Tahir Gorgen's topic in Speculations
To be honest, I find the explanation on Wikipedia much clearer than yours. Maybe that is because English is not your native language. But you don't seem to have added anything to the explanation. -

Please explain what is wrong with the standard explanation. And why you think "they" do not understand it. And who "they" are. -
That is very interesting. /sarcasm

Indeed. But it is probably made even more complicated because the way that particular people or groups interpret the Quran will be influenced by how they feel about their society, their socio-economic status, what they perceive the cause of their problems to be, etc. So there is probably some complex feedback going on.

I think there has been quite a lot of research on exactly this sort of question. I'm not sure the results are quite as straightforward as you suggest (I can't remember any details of brief articles I have read - just that the results can be surprising). The results might also be changed by priming(*) - e.g. if you ask after handing someone their salary versus just after giving them their electricity bill. (*) Some priming experiments have turned out not to be reproducible; but I don't think there is much doubt that that the phenomenon itself exists.

There seems to be a need to make analogies for life functions based on the technology of the time: the stomach is a furnace; the human body works by clockwork; the heart is like a steam engine [OK, I don't know if anyone really said that]; the brain is like a computer; and now hunting is like a search engine. I don't see much value in any of these.

And you have evidence that this is because of the Quran? Not relevant. You claimed it was because of the Quran. The Ancient Greeks didn't have the Quran. Maybe. But that doesn't mean the socio-political environment is caused by the Quran. After all, there are many Islamic countries with very different political and economic situations. They can't all be caused by the Quran. Or do you think it is only the "bad" ones that are. (Where "bad" means you don't like them.) Where are these statistics?

You are right. It is unbelievable.

Traveling at 99% c does not require infinite energy. Particle accelerators achieve higher speeds than that. It is used very often as an explanation. I am surprised you have missed it. I don't think they have tried to do that.

Not until we have a theory of quantum gravity (in which case it should be the [hypothetical] graviton). Correct (Newton's Shell theorem). Again, we won't know until we have a theory of quantum gravity! String theory has a model called the fuzzball: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzball_(string_theory)

It is a bit like the regular threads on "best programming language". The actual subject (language) is less important than the underlying skills.

Or maybe the Quran just documents the existing culture. There are non-Islamic cultures with many of the same attitudes. Including many Christian cultures. Women in ancient Greece were treated pretty much the same as women in places like Saudi Arabia today: not allowed out of the house alone, had to keep their heads or face covered, treated as property of their husbands, etc. Pakistan has more women MPs than many non-Islamic countries and had a female PM before most western countries. When I worked in a University pretty much all of the female engineering students were from Islamic countries. So I don't find the argument that the Quran is to blame very convincing.
-
Do you have any evidence to support that.
-
I am just looking for data to support the point. (Made more complicated by the fact you shifted the goalposts...)

The causes are fairly well researched. As well as perceived injustice, there is also state sponsorship as well as traditional and ancient rivalries (such the shia-sunni schism). https://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?q=causes+terrorism I'm not sure what logic that is.

We would probably need a theory of quantum gravity to answer that, but as far as I know, current theory says that virtual particle pairs will behave the same inside the event horizon as outside.
