" The damning Amnesty report also criticises Israel's allies for the failure to stop the "indescribable civilian bloodshed" in Gaza. In a stark warning to world leaders, the organisation said the world was reaping a harvest of "terrifying consequences" from escalating conflict and the near-breakdown of international law."
World leaders my ass. . . World leading id**s seems more correct. Plying their game, chosen by you. As for pointing out the UK specifically? True, but only when you also count in the rest of our unthinking nations. It may have a certain weight here in Europe, the UK, but as far as I am concerned all of our politicians are becoming undressed by their rigid behaviors. All of them more worried about losing face than a world war.

Question of the Week / QotW - 24.04.26 - What are the chances of a random act being repeated exactly?
« Last post by WillT on 24/04/2024 09:13:31 »This week's Question of the Week comes in from David. He asks:
'On the show 'Tipping Point', Often at the end they play out the final three counters as 'What would have happened ' .
Would the result actually be what would have happened?
I argue that such a random action could never be replicated .'

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: What is the Hopf gauge?
« Last post by varsigma on 23/04/2024 23:19:22 »I think I can say a few things about the modular structure of this graph.
In that, a free additive module is just the idea of repeated addition, a sequence like "+ 1 + 1 + 1 . . .". This, in modular addition, say mod 2, will mean you have the sequence 0 + 1 -> 1 + 1 -> 0 + 1 -> . . .
This means you can define a loop, you can identify the two points, {0,1} and make the distance between them + 1, as the loop so this represents the action of addition on both points, as a single point "{0,1}". So it maps a loop, representing addition modulo 2, to a set of points. This works for {0,1,2, . . .,n}.
So then you have 0 + 1 + 1 + . . . n times, = 0 (mod n). Yay. That's because 0 is the kernel of a function that maps to a homomorphism as the image of the next , or is it the previous? I need to figure that out, function (the homomorphism between additive groups) in the chain.
A Turing machine that models this is one that reads a 0 and writes a 1, or reads a 1 and writes a 0 ( adds 1 mod 2). So there are two read/write loops on a single state, and no halt condition.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: why do a lot of people confuse between interference and diffraction?
« Last post by hamdani yusuf on 23/04/2024 22:39:01 »This lecture explicitly show double slit experiment as an example of interference, and single slit experiment for diffraction. If left uncorrected, the confusion will spread among students. To make it worse, they will get positive feedbacks in the exams by giving wrong answers.

General Science / Re: Why is each solar day a couple of minutes faster or slower than the previous?
« Last post by Bored chemist on 23/04/2024 20:31:08 »How long before the slowing of the earth's rotation will force us to choose between retaining 86400 seconds in a day and retaining the current definition of the second?It already does. That's why we have leap seconds.

New Theories / Re: Olber's Paradox
« Last post by paul cotter on 23/04/2024 20:12:03 »If one just panned said machine gun the distribution function would be 1/r. If one panned and tilted it then 1/r^2 would be correct. As regards the OP's original question I have heard that under ideal circumstances the human eye can detect a candle flame at 20miles(ie complete darkness+perfect vision), don't know how true this is.

Technology / Re: How does my car calculate fuel economy?
« Last post by Petrochemicals on 23/04/2024 19:34:45 »Problem with London is empty bus lanes and a 20 mph speed limit practically everywhere, so even when the traffic is moving you rarely get out of third gear.That is the problem everywhere, exept london has this wonderous thing called the underground, you can quite easily live in london without a car at the same time as removing pollution and doing your bit to lower global warming. If only they had put similar infrastructure into all the other congested cities, Birmingham and Manchester wouldnt have the longest commute times in the uk. Ah well, I supose it would have cost ?100 billion plus.
