  1. Repetitive.

  2. I could have misunderstood, but I think Susskind is saying all "measurement" related phenomena are explainable in terms of entanglement between the system under measurement and the particles of the measuring instrument.

  3. After "O", you included a two-byte sequence B7 C2. How is it supposed to render? I see a centered dot.

  4. Don't wait to see it happen. Plan ahead.

  5. What would such a proof look like?

  6. Chasing predictions is all that science has, and do you mean Lee Smolin?

  8.  @KaiHouston-m6j  Values are subjective. For me, intelligence improves the universe because, among other things, it permits the universe to study itself.

  9.  @KaiHouston-m6j  An alien (lowercase) intelligence is better than no intelligence at all, according to my values.

  10.  @WarpigA23  , maybe it is less than one in a billion.

  11. Some of the energy is supposed to come from the fusion reaction. This is not included in the "energy in" that goes into the Q quotients.

  12. Kirk Sorensen says nuclear heat can be used to crack water, and the resulting hydrogen can power the synthesis of replacements for gasoline and Diesel, carbon-neutral.

  13. She's exactly asking for a chance to not have to try to read their minds, when she asks them to lay out in public and out loud, what that is.

  14. And should have stayed that way.

  15. Not convinced. The heat death will prevent all kinds of life or information processing.

  16. and spelling.

  18. Yes and another highly relevant topic by the same comparison is global overheating.

  19. Halting problem?

  20. Oil is finite, and also, burning it releases greenhouse gas.

  21. Listen to Kirk Sorensen on "waste".

  22. Pretty much the same way that radio-transmitter radiated power is inferred for purposes of compliance. The power going into the final stage is considered the radiated power.

  23. Around a black hole, it would follow the same lines as any other matter, ending up in the black hole under the same conditions as other matter does. Gravity is geometry.

  24.  @peterprokop  If the star is near the edge of the galactic halo, where the dark-matter particles are slow (if real), there should be some concentration in them, I feel (not doing rigorous math here).

  25. Inertial mass would be measured by a applying a force other than gravitational. For example, it could be electrostatic. Any of the forces predicted by the Standard Model. The force being applied could be measured with a spring or something like that. The acceleration resulting could be calculated from distance measures and a clock. To measure, on the other hand, gravitational mass, one way would be from orbits. Something I don't get yet is the conceptual distinction between active and passive gravitational masses. That's why I'm scrolling though these comments.

  28. No apostrophe.

  29. "they are the result of chains of events" -- that's what you usually see, but observing that does not disprove the assertions we hear that in QM (which is math, after all) everything possible will happen give sufficient time.

  30. Does any other reader understand @crawkn 's response?
    1
  31.  @crawkn  I don't depend on the "many-worlds" interpretation, necessarily. In classical physics and in engineering, probability is often more important than possibility. In situations described by QM, possibility can figure in. Feinmann explained why light seems to travel in straight lines by saying its behavior can be calculated by assuming it follows every possible path. The paths that aren't straight lines cancel by destructive interference.

  32. Which is hotter, the center or the corona?

  33. That's an alternation, not a superposition.

  34. No, you haven't. At least, not high enough a price to reflect its value.

  35. Yes, it is.

  36. Have to explain what happens to spacetime in response to energy.

  37. You don't take into account Prof. Hossenfelder's statement that the "wall" is only an analogy, not a gold leaf or any other ensemble of particles.

  38. Also, they use Score Voting, a quite mathy technique for finding group opinion.

  39. "Gobbledygook" means gibberish used by government officials, employees, and agents.

  40. Nothing about anti-DeSitter space?

  41. Isn't light affecting other light when the reverse of positron-electron annihilation happens?

  42. That's the whole subject of the video.

  43. Some of the houses of fairly well-to-do people in Puerto Rico are built of steel-reinforced concrete.

  44. Proper risk analysis does not ask for certification of the risk, but rather, certification of safety.

  46. False. The rate of radiation away from Earth can vary under the influence of various parameters.

  47. It could well be the case that they are still alive but many others are dead because of their behavior.

  48. Yeah, that's a useful term, because it reminds us that we can compute the probability from the coefficient, but the coefficient is not identically the probability.

  49. Use the nukes on the ground, to crack water.

  50. It does not. These things are not simultaneously meaningful for a wave packet.
