If you project the one-child policy for 100 years,What about a 1.1 child policy or 0.8?
Magnifying The World's Brightest Flashlight (200,000 Lumens)Are you using the "Royal we" ?
This video can give some reality checks for our current understanding of temperature.
It doesn't show that they are different in a relevant way, does it?So... you do understand that the heating effect you from from focussing sunlight is nothing to do with the "laser" cooling effect, don't you?You said that photon from laser is indistinguishable from other sources, wich make them equally good for cooling. The video shows that they are different.
You could still use a non-laser light source for cooling. (I didn't say they were "good" for it, did I?. I said they were not good.You made that up. Why did you do that?)
The point I was making was that laser cooling has nothing to do with the negative electronic temperature in a laser.
Do you understand that?
Incidentally, the video is wrong. The "explanation" about lenses is irrelevant if you use non-imaging optics.
Gosh; My apologies to BC and you all as you correctly guessed I thought I was replying to the Environmental forum question of link between population expansion and global warming. So sorry.I deduce that you have never been starving through no fault of your own.
Anyhow, I agree with all the above comments but recommend charities major objective be family planning free aids, rather than food, health and medical care; particularly as with modern mechanisation a farmer with a tractor no longer needs a large family but as a responsible parent should ensure that his kids find a job to assist the community and a home to inherit in the future.
The frequent misconception is that children work for pensioners. Grandchildren don't!
In developed countries (and the USA) the under-20's mostly do not pay any taxes and are a financial burden on the state and their parents. State pensions are paid by the taxed 20 - 60 cohort, the "Working Fraction" which accounts for about 50% of the population, with roughly 25% in each of the 0 - 20 and 60 - 100 cohorts. The WF is also responsible for the economic activity that funds private pensions.
If the birthrate decreases below replacement level, the WF actually increases and the tax burden decreases, so there is more money available to pay pensions and more people (from the WF) available to support the elderly since fewer are involved in child care and education.
The only people who suffer from a decreasing population are the parasites whose incomes depend on economic expansion and a shortage of resources.
Free contraception supplied by do-gooder charities. WHO, red cross, docs without borders, red crescent etc.Yes, it is.
But refugees in camps in the SaharaYou seem to be the only one to mention the Sahara.
A previous administration was able to prevent an armed invasion (Operation Sealion) by the world's most efficient military force that had successfully invaded the rest of Europe.It would be better if people stopped conflating "illegal immigrants" with asylum seekers at every opportunity.
I was intercepted in 1975 when sailing a registered yacht flying a British flag, which was boarded and searched for illegal immigrants, any of whom would have been immediately imprisoned along with the crew.
You need to start by taking the threat seriously and committing and equipping the Coastguard to do its job.
Let God sort pandemics outYou are on the wrong web site.
And again...Once again...The fact that you can't measure a Photon directly seems to be a good indicator that there is something to my theory.What can you measure "directly"?
For example, how do I measure an electric current "directly"?
Yet no one has been able to stop the boats despite saying they would.They said they would.
BC, with a contagious respiratory virus spread by aerosol, the only way to stop it is total lockdown...

Holy cow!The UK government clearly had no plan to deal with an entirely controllable disease and preferred to ignore best advice, play political games, and award massive contracts to Party donors and relatives.There are always lethal diseases, delending on your viewpoint. Cancer patients, transplant patients are shielding even now, but the rest of the world doesnt give a toss this time.
The British Isles are free of rabies because we impose absolute quarantine on incoming animals of other species, so why not do the same for humans who may be carrying a nasty transmissible disease with a short incubation period?
Alan, with the extent of air travel I would reckon the virus was already in situ before any measures were activated. Even if not the case the virus could easily have hitched a ride across the English channel, as many other unwelcome visitors do.That's a poor reason to keep on importing it...
The latest government report into the damage the covid pandemic did to people blames the government for being unprepared. Who can ever be??The latest government report into the damage the covid pandemic did to people blames the government for being unprepared. Who can ever be??
It turned out that the pandemic did not kill 20% of the world population as expectedHad anyone expected that?
To blame is WHO for not having advised everyone that this was just a new flu virusAt times, Covid was the single biggest cause of deaths in the UK.
The UK government clearly had no plan to deal with an entirely controllable disease and preferred to ignore best advice, play political games, and award massive contracts to Party donors and relatives.Why not indeed?

This discussion was about applying my theory to the development of AI "sight" (a theory which the AI liked very much). It was never meant to be a finished product.Then it's not a scientific theory and you should stop mislabelling it.
