Why should gravity and electromagnetism be related at all?Why should they be separated instead?
At least anyone who has studied a bit of physics can use a Huygens construction to predict what you see.Huygens construction can't explain blocking mechanism nor non-diffractive edges.
A lot of what you call unsolved problems are not problems but misunderstandings.A lot of problems are caused by misunderstanding or miscommunication.
Wrong. But what did you expect?Do you have a better answer?
Why the symmetrically travelling twin's clock is only observed to time jump by half amount than earth's clock, from the perspective of the first travelling twin?In the explanation by Henry's Minutephysics and Mahesh' Floatinghead Physics, acceleration of the observed clocks don't cause any time jump. Time jumps only occur when the observer is looking at far away clock while changing velocity.You missed the fact that the Earth clock is inertial between the two events of the 'jump' and the traveling clock is not, so its worldline is half the temporal length that it would have had had it been inertial between its two events.Where does the number "half" come from?
We know we are having a knowledge gap when we have a quantitative answer without knowing where it comes from.
Let's observe how S function progresses from 2 pi i down to 0.Now let's observe the inverse.
Where's the paradox?
In physics, the twin paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity involving identical twins, one of whom makes a journey into space in a high-speed rocket and returns home to find that the twin who remained on Earth has aged more. This result appears puzzling because each twin sees the other twin as moving, and so, as a consequence of an incorrect[1][2] and naive[3][4] application of time dilation and the principle of relativity, each should paradoxically find the other to have aged less. However, this scenario can be resolved within the standard framework of special relativity: the travelling twin's trajectory involves two different inertial frames, one for the outbound journey and one for the inbound journey.[5] Another way of looking at it is to realize the travelling twin is undergoing acceleration, which makes them a non-inertial observer. In both views there is no symmetry between the spacetime paths of the twins. Therefore, the twin paradox is not actually a paradox in the sense of a logical contradiction. There is still debate as to the resolution of the twin paradox.Should we take acceleration into the equation?

Exploration of backslash function (aka S function) around its inflection point can be exciting in its own right, but does not have much effect on the determination of Riemann hypothesis, which for now has narrowed down to critical strip with extremely high imaginary part.The behavior of S function around its inflection point reminds me of Riemann sphere.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_sphere
In mathematics, the Riemann sphere, named after Bernhard Riemann,[1] is a model of the extended complex plane (also called the closed complex plane): the complex plane plus one point at infinity. This extended plane represents the extended complex numbers, that is, the complex numbers plus a value ∞ for infinity. With the Riemann model, the point ∞ is near to very large numbers, just as the point 0 is near to very small numbers.
It turns out that there's another significant point that describes the so called backslash function.We get a nice full wave when the imaginary part is exactly 2*pihttps://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=plot+re%28log%28zeta%28x%2B+2+pi+i%29+%2F%28Zeta%281-x%2B+2+pi+i%29%29%29%29from+0+to+1
The same curve looks like an inflection when zoomed out.

A more accurate inflection curve has a slightly bigger imaginary number.

What if there are moral facts, but we can't enact them?Decision making process, either in morality, economics, or process safety needs to consider uncertainty about the future. The risk of a particular hazard can be quantified as a product of probability times severity of that hazard in a specified time period. On positive side, the opportunity can also be quantified as a product of probability times benefits.

Morality and economics, while seemingly distant fields, have some interesting overlaps and divergences. Here's a breakdown:
Similarities:
Decision-Making: Both involve making choices. In economics, it's about allocating resources efficiently. Morality is about choosing right from wrong actions.
Social Impact: Both aim to influence human behavior for the betterment of society. Economic policies aim to achieve prosperity and well-being. Moral codes promote fairness, justice, and cooperation.
Adam Smith's Invisible Hand: Even the father of modern economics, Adam Smith, believed economic self-interest could lead to an "invisible hand" guiding the market towards a good outcome, hinting at a moral undercurrent in economic forces.
Differences:
Focus: Economics deals with scarcity and resource allocation. Morality deals with right and wrong conduct.
Values: Economics prioritizes efficiency, utility, and growth. Morality emphasizes fairness, justice, and compassion.
Metrics: Economics uses data, models, and cost-benefit analysis. Morality relies on philosophical principles, cultural norms, and personal beliefs.
The Intersection:
Moral Economics: This field explores how moral values influence economic decisions and systems. For instance, fairness concerns might influence trade policies.
Economic Consequences of Immorality: Unethical business practices or environmental damage can have negative economic consequences.
Policy Debates: Economic policies often have moral implications. Debates on income inequality or wealth distribution involve both economic and moral considerations.
In conclusion, morality and economics are distinct fields, but they interact in shaping human behavior and societal well-being.
I think it can still be improved, in terms of processing speed, information volume/capacity, robustness, interconnection with data sources and other units of virtual universes.That's why we need some sort of virtual universe.You have the best one inside your head.
