[ the OP is clearly not the slightest bit interested in learning anything, he apparently knows all.I really don’t mind if someone just wants to discuss their own ideas, but to constantly accuse others of not thinking is just plain rude.
Thinking of it. Forgot to reply on bullying Collin. There's also the trick where you place someone in a corner, making it untenable for that person, you don't touch him, you just keep on bullying until he loses it.
I agree. There is a lot here that would be worth discussing, but the constant snide remarks are getting wearing, so I’m out.I tiled my bathroom without the use of a ruler because I could measure off the job, no convention was needed.The tiles were your convention.
I wish I could say the sameWhatever
I can follow your reasoning explicitly, however I can't grasp the concept, if that makes any sense. Bottom line: I think I have covid too.Yes, I can see you are thinking how can you answer the little voice in the back seat saying “are we there yet?”
I just noticed this morning that "eternal student" has been crowned with the regal title "naked science forum king", a most auspicious honour that he(she) did not desire.I think he views it more as a suspicious honour
Regardless of that, why did I not receive an invitation to the coronation ceremony and the subsequent food and drink debauch?The peasantry are not usually invited to these events. It’s only people like Alan who are sufficiently skilled at débauching - it takes years of dedicated practice
….but these are proper ads, would these be classed as spam?The rules here expressly forbid unsolicited advertising, so yes we view them as spam
I think this is outside of the scope of Galilean relativity because nothing is actually moving in GR. GR implies a block universe.I think @Eternal Student has answered this, but some personal views.
So the idea of an object to be moving relative to another object doesn't really make any sense in a block universe.
How Can I buy some different and unique gifts online in the USA?Welcome to the forum.
from the underneath side looking up, the scaffold spun clockwise.That would make sense. Most ropes of this sort are 3 strand with a right hand lay. This means that in construction the rope is tightened by twisting the end anticlockwise, so when it is stretched (as described by @Bored chemist ) it will untwist clockwise when viewed from below.
Perhaps you're still convinced that movement needs a time dimension to facilitate it but are unwilling to stand up for your conviction.That depends what you mean by dimension and what you mean by facilitate.
The idea that there is a past, present and future is speculation when all we know is the present. I remember where objects were before they moved (past), and I can predict where objects will be after they move (future) but memory and prediction of movement is far from being evidence of a time dimension. This is a mistake and one that is rearly admitted.I’m not sure who you think rarely admits it. I would agree if you are talking about the general population, but physicists (and philosophers) frequently debate this area. Your view is a form of temporal presentism, but there are many other options including block universe. So, you have nailed your colours to a particular wall, some would agree with you, but there are others who would say you are wrong to do so.
…….as long as you remember they are just imaginary.Imaginary has a different meaning in physics to common usage. It does not equate to not real, as in unicorns are not real.
If you can devise an experiment that will provide unequivocal empirical evidence of your idea, then you will be in line for a Nobel prize. The reason there is so much debate and varying views in this area is because there is no empirical evidence.I understand you for some reason don't like that time is a dimension,Pesky empirical evidence.
I want to meet you at Joe's in 10 unicorns, of course we will have to set up a convention for one unicorn like the swing of a pendulum or the movement of the sun, however we won't need to set up a convention for the spatial dimensions because they actually exist and we can measure them directly.As Origin points out, you are confusing units with dimensions.
Then we have temperatures and green house gasses as carbon dioxide, each one limiting your crop yields.Indeed. Local market gardeners add CO2 to their greenhouses (never mind 400 ppm - these guys go for a toxic 1 - 5%) to maximise crop yields. Forestry officers around the world have noticed steadily improved tree growth over the last 150 years.
The fun question to ask of an AI system is whether it could design a tool that would allow it to do something it isn't already designed to do.I seem to recall that there has been an attempt to patent an invention in the name of an AI. I must check, but I think British patent office said only people can be named as inventor, but somewhere else allowed it.
seems that there's a hurdle of definitions which need to be agreed before one can even ask the question i.e. agree on the definition of the question ?We even need to agree what the answers might mean.
I know my dna remains the sameI wouldn’t be so sure about that. DNA does mutate as it passes from cell to cell and we age.
For instance, will any of the original heart I was born with remain with me now?I would say not a lot, if any, of the original cells. Usual quoted cell replacement is between 7 & 10 years, but can be shorter for important organs.
If Mr Putin has expressed it that way, I would say he's correct. It reminds me very much of a gang of bullies in the schoolyard, fighting and threatening, and then onlookers, unsure of whom to cheer.When I was at school the bullies were often the bigger, older boys who would pick on the weaker newcomers. Either you had something they wanted or just didn’t like the way you looked, talked etc.
