New Theories / Re: How do we measure the energy of a photon?
« on: 18/04/2024 18:28:22 »As discussed in this post, it is not possible to directly measure the energy of a single photon.What is so special about doing it "directly?
We can, in fact, measure the energies of photons.
Doesn't a carbon atom contain a positive nucleus and isn't a positive nucleus an ion?Yes and no respectively.
An ion has a net charge; a carbon atom doesn't.
In its 2D form in 4dAbstractions, an Amino Acid has a central Carbon Atom/A molecule of phenylalanine has 9 carbon atoms.
Which one are you pretending is "central"?

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Couldn't Say Anything when I'm Awake
« on: 16/04/2024 11:26:41 »For crying out loud go see a doctor. Don't look for medical advice from strangers on the internet!Seconded.
(With a note to newer members of the forum. I think the OP has posted pleas for medical advice here before and should know better. If he was a newbie, I'm sure Origin would have been gentler.)

New Theories / Re: How do we measure the energy of a photon?
« on: 16/04/2024 11:17:35 »Returning to the question, for the last 60 years I have been well paid to measure the energy of photons, thousands of clients think I'm right, and their patients have for the most part survived and prospered because sensible people believe me.
While I'm a bit younger than Alan, and the photons I measured were typically about a thousand times less energetic, I too made a career from measuring them.

This is the definition of insanity.You said it...
Your post is the definition of insanity.

Just for the record.
You have falsely attributed your nonsense to me

I didn't say that.
In reality we have a pretty good idea how proteins work.

Question of the Week / Re: QotW - 24.04.19 - What language do the profoundly deaf think in?
« on: 12/04/2024 19:27:38 »American sign language, for instance, are more different than our spoken accents.ASL and BSL are about as different as English and French. It's nothing to do with "accent". The two languages developed entirely independently.

I have yet to be convinced that we necessarily think in any language.
Have you ever seen a diagram used to explain something?
What language was it written in?

There's one interesting point about the crayons.
Kids use computer screens these days and so they can "colour" something white.
White crayons were pretty much useless on white paper., so you had to use some other "bright" colour.
The emission spectrum of the sun has not changed much since we were first able to measure it.

The Environment / Re: The link between global warming and world population expansion.
« on: 10/04/2024 21:24:59 »The sad truth is that your first day is the most dangerous day of your life.Worth doing the maths. The ratio of workers to retired decreases slightly over time but is more than compensated by the decrease in under-20s, so the working fraction initially increases to about 0.65 and never falls below the present 0.5.Under 20s are not particularly expensive in healthcare, housing benefits or pension payments. They do not require care homes, at most a birth, a few vaccinations, schooling and a bit of afterschool care during term times.
Very young children are, on average, rather expensive to provide medial care for. Most cost next to nothing.
But, unfortunately, some need a lot of support.
The risk falls until you are about 5.

The Environment / Re: The link between global warming and world population expansion.
« on: 10/04/2024 21:15:27 »But the problem is to find jobs for those kids 16 to 20. In Sahara and middle east with 50% of population under 20, it was great to have large families in old days as there is plenty of land to be farmed and 2 acres will provide a family of 4 people. So ask the chief for an extra 2 acres per child and self sufficiency is guaranteed.If you think there are people farming in the Sahara, then you have disqualified yourself from further discussion.
But give one man a tractor and he can manage 10 acres without a large family just one son to take over the farm. It is the large families with no jobs that are causing over population and poverty leading to refugee crisis and global warming

« on: 06/04/2024 14:20:03 »My estimate is that limiting reproduction to 1 child per female ... it doesn't require any sacrifice and life actually gets better for everyone from Day 1.That's not what China found.
So the question is what sacrifice are we prepared to make?

New Theories / Re: Olber's Paradox
« on: 06/04/2024 11:56:08 »Olber′s paradox states that the sky is not uniformly bright although it contains, to all intents and purposes, an infinite number of stars.No.
It does more or less the opposite.
Here's what WIKI says
"Olbers's paradox, also known as the dark night paradox, is an argument in astrophysics and physical cosmology that says that the darkness of the night sky conflicts with the assumption of an infinite and eternal static universe. "
Olber was clever enough to recognise the importance of the most commonplace observation; it gets dark at night.
That tells you that either the universe is not infinite in physical extent or it's not infinitely old or we live in a very weird bit of it- the only bit with stars.
Other observations say that the resolution of the "paradox" is that the universe is finite in age- about 14 billion years.

New Theories / Re: What is the CMBR?
« on: 05/04/2024 14:44:25 »did not really miss the point that you allude to. What I am trying to get through is that there is practically no reference to sounds and signals that the Universe makes NOW at the present time.There are.
They are the things to which the CMBR is the "background".
Nearly all the pretty pictures you see from NASA are of things happening "now". (At least; since the BB).
Didn't you realise that?
It does not help that you are proclaiming errors in something while making up nonsense like this about it.
Further how convenient is the presence of this shell that the CMBR is supposed to reflect off?Nobody said there was a shell.
