  45. So we always hear about bear raiding bee colonies for honey. That goes way back, at least in Britain or Denmark. The oldest writing in the Englisc language is the Beowulf poem, and "Beowulf" means "bee wolf" as a metaphor for an animal that predates on bees, so thereby, bear. I say "or Denmark", because that's where the events described in the poem are set.

If the photon splits up and goes by more than one route to a detection site, the little arrow goes around and around along each route, and where they come together, those add up, and so they could cancel. So your detection site could see nothing; it might be in the middle of a dark band of the interference fringe.

  101. Piss Bucket Rocket Scientist It wouldn't surprise me a bit if hardly anyone caught it. Most people are willfully anti-semantic and I do not mean anti-Semitic. They work against the possibility of communicating meaning. I advocate that in most of the situations where people tend to express a ratio using an additive percentage (i. e., situations where we are told about x percent and we are to infer a ratio equal to 1 + x/100 or 1 - x/100, e. g. interest rates, markup and discount rates), that people switch to expressing the rate as its log in centineper. However, there are some uses of percentages that should not be converted this way, but rather, should continue to be expressed in the way that is conventional today. For example, if you and I agree to go into a business where each of us contributes certain stated components of labor and/or material to produce some product that you and I intend to sell together, we might agree that you receive 70% of the revenue and I get the remaining 30%. Those should not be expressed as logs because they have to add up to 100%. But if I take out a loan from you and agree to pay interest at 5 centineper per year, that means that if the principal is p and I'm going to pay off the entire loan in one payment t years after I borrowed the money from you, then I owe you p exp(5 t / 100).
    2
  102. Piss Bucket Rocket Scientist Before people had calculators, and they had to do arithmetic by either algorism or abacism, multiplying large numbers was more time consuming than was convenient. This mattered, because there were circumstances when people needed those products, at least approximately. Logs were invented to ease that situation. When you have the logs of two numbers, you can add those logs, then look up the antilog of that sum, and you have approximately (often close enough for practical purposes) the product of the original two numbers that you wanted to multiply. A slide rule is an analog calculator that is based on logs. It is marked in a log scale. When you work the slide rule, you are adding distances. When you read off the answer, the scale converts the distances to their antilogs, so when you add the logs, you are multiplying the numbers that you can read off. So that explains the initial purpose why logs mattered. One of the convenient properties of logs is that the logs of multiplicative inverses are additive inverses. So how does this work, mathematically? A logarithm is a solution of an equation b^x = q. In this equation, "^" means "raised to the power", b is some fixed number, called the base, q is the number you want the log of, and x is its log. Any nonzero value for b will suffice to give the logs the useful properties I described above. For example, say we want to multiply some number c by another number d. Suppose we can look up log c and log d in a table of logs. Once we add those logs, we are going to look up the antilog of the sum by reading the table the opposite way. The answer we obtain that way is b ^ (log c + log d). By the properties of powers, this is (b ^ (log c))(b ^ (log d)). Consider just the first factor in that expression, b ^ (log c). Going back to my equation at the start of this paragraph, we can substitute log c for x and substitute c for q, because I said that the log has to be a solution to that equation. So we have b ^ (log c) = c. Doing the parallel thing to the other factor, tells us that our result (b ^ (log c))(b ^ (log d)) is indeed equal to cd, which is what we wanted. It is conventional to use one of three values for b, the base. There are circumstances where people like to use 10, which makes the logs decimal logs. In a few circumstances, they use 2, which leads to binary logs. However, the best value to use in many circumstances is the mathematical constant known as e, appx. 2.71828, the base of the natural logs. The most conventional viewpoint says that log functions map dimensionless numbers to dimensionless numbers, and that the decimal log, the binary log, and the natural log are just three different functions (although as I mentioned, any of them could be used to multiply). When I mention "centineper", I am taking an alternative viewpoint that says we can treat log as one function that if applied to a pure number, produces a dimensioned result. If we take the binary log, the result is in bits. If we take the decimal log, the result is in decades. If we take the natural log, the result is in "nepers" or "nats", both words having the same meaning. One way to look at is that a neper is equal to one (like we can take a viewpoint that a radian is equal to one), and that a bit is some pure number or that many nepers, and a decade is some pure number or that many nepers. In this viewpoint, a centineper is 1/100 neper. So, to get the log of a number in centineper, you take its natural log, and multiply by 100. I find this unit convenient for things like interest rates, because for small interest rates, the log in centinepers is close to the conventional additive rate in %. So for example, 1% interest is very close to 1 centineper interest, and 5% interest is not outrageously far from 5 centineper interest. Consider 5% interest for example. If I borrow $100 from you, how much do I have to pay back? The answer is $105. What matters to me is the ratio of how much I have to pay back, to how much I borrowed. That ratio is 1.05. What is the natural log of that ratio? My calculator says 0.04879016416943205. 100 times that is about 4.9, not outrageously different from 5. Conversely, if the loan rate is exactly 5 centinepers, (I'd like to write 5 % neper for that), then in conventional terms it is a 5.13% interest rate approximately. Suppose I borrow $100 from you at what we conventionally denote as 5% per annum compound interest. Suppose it is two years before I can pay you back. How much do I owe you at the end of the two years? One way to look at is to suppose that after one year, because I can't afford to pay you back on the loan, but for some reason I must, I'm going to borrow $105 from you to pay back the loan. So I use the $105 to pay back the original loan, but now I'm in debt to you for $105 and am going to pay 5% interest on that. So at the end of the second year, I owe you $105 times 1.05, or $110.25. If we had naively forgotten to compound the interest, we might have reasoned that since the interest is 5% per year, and two years went by, we should be able to multiply, and get 10% as the interest rate for the two years, which would mean you get cheated out of 25 cents. This bugs me, because the usual meaning of the word per implies you can multiply. If for example you are an exterminator and you charge $5 per raccoon removed and I want to hire you to get rid of three of the critters that are nesting in my attic, I expect to pay you $15, because of the usual meaning of per as it appears in "five dollars per raccoon removed". But this meaning did not carry over into the convention to talk about compound interest with an expression such as "5% per year". If on the other hand, we had agreed to a loan rate of 5 centinepers per year, then the two-year rate would indeed be 10 centinepers as expected. Here's another example. Suppose I bake bread and I charge so much per pound of it. But because you are a very regular customer, I give you a 10 centineper discount. But suppose you are resellling the bread in your 'hood and your markup is 10 centineper. Then your customers are paying you my regular price for the bread.

  128. Incorrect. Those are not grounds to doubt the mainstream account of what happened. Taking humans to the Moon is very expensive. The political impetus for it was the Cold War.

Interest in scientific results could rise high enough to overcome the cost again; also the cost can be reduced with modern tech.

  148. I had to replay this to get this key lesson straight: when we prepare the electron by putting it in a magnetic field, the way to find the quantum state we're putting it in is first, take the dot product of the direction cosines of the direction of our magnetic field with the vector of "sigma" matrices (elsewhere identified as Pauli matrices), and consider the result as an operator for hypothetically turning on the magnetic field again without changing the direction of the magnet and looking for whether the electron emits a photon. We know very well that if we did that, it wouldn't. We associate that result (no photon) with one of the eigenvalues of the operator. The associated eigenvector is the state we are putting the electron into. End of procedure.

  168. Cultures include teachings and some of those teachings lead some members of those cultures to harm other families, as a result of those members taking the teachings seriously. This is the case with ethnic English diaspora culture and imperialism.

  169. The human race needs a system of coercion to depress the Anglo-Saxon birthrate. All this should be run by women. Men should be allowed to give their opinions and try to persuade, but should not have a vote.

  172. If I understand correctly, quantum field theory (QFT) holds that for every fundamental type of particle, there is a field that pervades all of space, and each individual particle is a perturbation in the field associated with its type. So, for example, an electron is a little wave packet in the electron field, a top quark is a wave packet in the top-quark field, and so on. As for your question about whether an idea represents reality or is just a convenience for calculating predictions, I'm not sure of the philosophical distinction between those two interpretations. So I don't know what you're asking, in that regard.

  175. There was supposedly a president of the US named Eisenhower. They repeat it so much, it must be false, right? You can query a calculator as many times as you want, how much is 4*ATAN(1), and it will tell you 3.1415927 something. With all those repetitions, it must be false, right? You can tell it is false because the calculator is trying so hard to convince you.

  183. There are two concepts of mass -- inertial and gravitational. And to the best accuracy that physicists have been able to measure to date, each kind of mass equals the other. Mass is explained as energy. Rest mass is binding energy with the Higgs field (I could be wrong). Most of the mass of a proton is in the kinetic energy of the components wiggling around in there plus the binding energy of the strong force. But some of the mass of the proton is from the rest mass of the three quarks.

  189. It seems as though "acceleration" has come to mean two different things. One is what an accelerometer would measure. I want to call this "felt acceleration". And the other is the second time derivative of position as you would measure it with measuring sticks, or optical triangulation, or whatever. And having one word have two distinct meanings confuses people.

  193. Old English used a cognate to Vogel and "fowl". "fugol" or something. Brydde, from unknown origins, was eventually used for a young bird, and got expanded to include the adults as well and became modern English "bird". The history of "dog" is similar. OE used "hund". "Dogca" or something like was used for a particularly big hunting dog. Now the terms are reversed, so that "dog" has the general role and "hound" is more specific.

  219. I don't know for sure, but I think that if we were to look into it, we would find that the historical record of physicists smashing neuclii together in accelerators and looking at the stuff that flies out gives the hint that the nucleons are distinct. I heard that a kind of resonant effect and/or a spatially uneven distribution of the gluons in a nucleon provides the force that binds the nucleons together to make the nucleus, similar to how with the electromagnetic force rather than the strong force, a resonance and/or uneven spatial distribution of that force within each atom binds atoms to make molecules.

  224.  @antonystringfellow5152  She's good and I also recommend Leonard Susskind's lecture on entanglement. Even though "entanglement" is in the title, it's really an introduction to QM, using easy math (no diffeq). He begins with what would seem to be the simplest case, measuring the spin on an electron prepared with a magnetic field. The result is only binary, spin up or spin down. But he uses this to show in general how the calculation goes.

  228. Sophisticated programming is an engineered solution. That means the human designers of the system conceived of and implemented a strategy that relates the problem to the solution. This relationship is built out of reasoning. A solution based on AI is more open-ended. There is engineering, but it is not aimed directly at the problem to be solved. It only produces a kind of machine that can be presented in effect with a problem and that casts about for solutions. To my understanding, all AI techniques in use today follow either a connectionist technique (roughly like the brain) or a Darwinian technique, or some combination of the two.

  232.  @paytonpryor  Come to think of it, it is redundant. Joining me is inherently with me. I live in Virginia and have for many of my formative years. I don't know if I have actually used or heard "join with me as I do such-and-such"; I'm just saying it doesn't grate on my ears and doesn't sound ambiguous. I think that if I heard it, I would not notice anything unusual. So, I'm concluding that it doesn't violate my internalized grammar.

    2
  242.  @subplantant  I can't articulate reasoning, with any certainty or in convincing terms, for a shade of difference in meaning between "how big a ..." and "how big of a ...". But I am a native speaker (US), and I do use the "of" usage. I think it emphasizes the idea that we are talking about size relative to what is typical for the kind of thing indicated by what follows the "of a", as opposed to absolute size.
    2

    2
  262.  Wesley  << Where the theories contradict each other because not all of them can be correct. >> No, I think there is reason to see that commonsense expectations break down earlier than where we get to the conflict between QM and GR, the theories that don''t agree with one another all the way down. These expectations break down in the Bell inequality, which comes up in straightforward QM, not going near GR.

  267. If we're living in a simulation, all our study of nature is really just a study of the simulator's behavior as viewed from the inside. If I were ever convinced that the creators were talking to me, the first thing I'd ask is "what is nature really like?".

  270. There is plenty of good evidence for the moon landings. What standard of "proof" do you require for a mainstream concept of any event said to have happened in history?

  271.  @dave7072  But to my understanding, there would have been no data from the rendezvous radar had it not been for a "dithering" artifact of the mismatched 800hz supplies. The computer was constantly being told that the radar was slewing when in fact it was sitting stationary.

Better to let the students who really care about chemistry learn technical German. I'm sure it didn't take as much time as learning all the nuances of the language and culture, as only the technical aspect was needed. And maybe they were studying not only from textbooks, but also from original sources. I don't know, really. I'll bet people all over the world who want to learn about information technology and computer programming are learning a bit of English so they can study it. Is all the IT teaching going to be translated into French, German, Czech, and so on?

  328. I suspect that the answer is "no." If there's an infinite quantity in physics (e. g. diameter of the universe), I would ask, what kind of infinity, as math has described several. There are at least two cardinal infinities (aleph null and c), and aleph null ordinal infinities in math.
    2
  329.  @hynesie11  That's an interesting point. So, when we ask, in scientific terms, whether a measure will ever be found to be infinite, we are asking whether assigning a measure a mathematical structure that is an infinity will lead to correct predictions.

  345.  @lomiification  "Why don't C and D get single blobs that cover the whole area like a and b do?" Unless I miss something (which is fairly likely) photonic behavior is symmetric as to source and sink. Say a cell in the retina of my left eye detects a photon that came from a distant star. The photon could have come from anywhere on the apparent disk of the star. If we suppose that instead the photon came from my retina and was detected on the star, the math is the same. With detector C and the beam splitter, you can think of the problem as though detector C were the source. No measurement (entanglement) detects what happens at the beam splitter. So, for the photons that interacted with C, there is an interference pattern, because each photon has to take two paths and so it interferes with itself.

At a point when they had merged to two, they were "wessan" and "bēon", if I remember correctly (from learning about it, not from the time!). Some dialects of O.

  382. Sounds like a computer program that outputs a copy of itself. The mirrors you describe, on the other hand, won't reflect all the way to infinity, because the light attenuates on each reflection. But a self-rep computer program will run so long as you provide it a working computer to run on and provide power to that computer and heat removal. So, you can see more copies from the program, potentially, than the count of copies of anything you'd see in mirrors held up against one another.

  383. I had this question too, and none of the responses address it. We start out with water droplets. Maybe some of them have a little electric charge. Perhaps the "coil" (maybe more of a capacitor plate?) attracts some of the droplets and repels some others based on what charge they carry. But don't all those droplets still end up connecting to the mesh at the bottom? I don't see how an imbalance of charge makes it to the metal parts. Are some of the droplets being thrown so far outside that they miss the mesh at the bottom?

  394. A decibel is a tenth of a bel, and in some circumstances, a bel is a decade, but unfortunately, not always. It's one thing if you are measuring a "field" quantity such as voltage or current, and another thing if you are measuring a "power" quantity, such as power. That's how the convention for decibels works. That's why, above, I had to mention "decade" instead of "bel", because a bel isn't always a decade. But, whichever convention for the meaning of decibel applies in a given situation, it is being used as a kind of "unit" of logarithms, just as I said we can take a viewpoint that decade, bit, and neper are units of logarithms. Decibels are used widely, so I am not going off the deep end when I suggest a way of thinking in which logs have units.

Also human population attrition could be part of the solution, and so could conservation measures such as traveling less, and another component could be transports using electrical distribution and moving pickups such as overhead pantographs, third rails, and trolley pickups.

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.

The paths that aren't straight lines cancel by destructive interference.

The discussion of the fundamental forces and how strong or weak they are assumes objects of similar masses exerting the forces. In the case of things near a very massive object such as the Earth, even though the force of gravity between particles is small, there is a whole Earth worth of particles pulling together, so gravity can win.

    1
  600.  @dlevi67  I think that when scientists say "observable", they mean people or machines or other animals or other gross objects capable of processing data can obtain data about the matter. So for example if you build a photon detector, you can observe whether an electron emits a photon when you subject it to a strong magnetic field applied in a given spatial direction. Being able to reason or speculate about configurations said to exist behind a curtain is not what is normally meant by "observation". << It could (and should) however enable us to make and test different predictions on the behaviour of black holes. >>-- would the "behavior" be observable? If I understand correctly, the "no hair" theorem shows that nothing about BH "behavior" will become any more complex than is determined by charge, angular momentum, and mass.

  660. Gender is a linguistic phenomenon. It has nothing to do with people. It has to do with grammar and that's it. Saying a person has a gender is harmful. Words have gender in some languages. In German, for example, "the apple" is "der Apfel" and "the boat" is "das Boot" and "time" is "die Zeit". The definite article agrees with the noun in gender, and these examples illustrate the three genders in the German language. But the apple itself is not masculine, and time itself is not feminine. The words are masculine, neuter, or feminine; not the *things they stand for*. People do not have gender. Speaking as though they do just confuses your listener and distracts her from the necessary political work to stop the US international aggression.

Each partner in a healthy relationship should have the potential for emotional self sufficiency, but what they should be offering and receiving in the relationship is one or more extra bonuses that make their lives better, including the joy of appreciating the other person and so on.
    1
  667.  @WeebRemover4500  I think there are different kinds of needs. Each of us has needs of a relationship, like basic respect for example. If the other person can't provide those, it's not a match and should break up. But when a person feels broken and expects someone else to solve that for them, that's a problem and that person should work on himself or herself.

  670.  @GhostFDawg  The reason for which you have the phrase "gender reveal paarties" (or parties) is mental retardation on your part. Humans have many kinds of expression. Sex is not assigned. Intersex people, if that's real, are irrelevant to a discussion of whether "gender" outside of linguistics refers to any real phenomena or not, because those who propagate that "gender" is real always make clear that whatever it may be, it is not the same as sex. You haven't shown a connection between sex and supposed "gender" as you say exists, and you haven't provided any reasoning that would indicate a connection between intersex people and "gender". You are trying to groom children to get them to accept strangers touching their sexual organs, where "sexual organs", to be clear, means organs that differ between the sexes. It is better to affirm children and cut up Jehova and gender than the other way around. Your position is basically pro-torture. Your camp has to respond for what happened to Chloe Cole and her interviewees.

  675.  @musicalfringe  << entanglement with the environment >> This is consistent with what I thought I understood Prof. Susskind to say -- that entanglement between the quantum system being measured and the particles of the measuring instrument explains the "collapse of the wave function".

  677.  @musicalfringe  OK, but that has nothing to do what my comment (or, at least, what I mean by it). I'm tentatively looking at the idea that the collapse is real in regard to the system under measurement viewed in isolation, but that this collapse can be explained by taking into account interactions between the system under measurement and the measuring apparatus, and this can assume one world.

    1
  771.  @Naomi_Boyd  I haven't worked out the geometry. To my understanding, the standing-wave patterns in typical microwave ovens make hot spots and cold spots. That's why a turntable is provided. Ideally, you would like to couple the source with the load via the radiation pattern. Otherwise, the energy just bounces back and heats up the magnetron instead of your food. I do not currently own a microwave oven and I tend to steam my veggies and meat or else use some oil.
    1
  772.  @Naomi_Boyd  Since microwaves are much longer than, say the waves of gamma rays, each photon has relatively low energy and so there are a lot of them. And as for the cooking mechanism, what I heard could be wrong, but what I heard is that the frequency of the radiation resonates water molecules and so they jiggle around a lot, and pass heat on to the other compounds next to them. The rain is abundant, and when two people are in it, they are subtending more of it than one person would. But if the two people are sharing the water from a dripping source, they will get wet half as fast.

And in the US, for good or ill, wealth follows familial lines. So now, there is a chunk of wealth held by some people on account of their coloration. And this chunk is denied to others based on their coloration, because the poverty and wealth went down along familial lines, on both sides. Ideology does not necessarily correlate with this heritage.

  807. Is it possible to imagine, consistent with the known basic Laws O' Physics (TM), but ignoring the kaon, an hypothetical cosmos containing two regions where the arrow of time, and the entropy gradient through time, is reversed, the one region compared to the other, with, in each of the regions, information-processing entities that can remember the past and decide what to do in the future? When I say "future", I mean in the direction of increasing entropy in that region. Can we, whose origin is the Big Bang and whose fate is the heat death, construct a time-reversed "and" gate? Can we, whose origin is the Big Bang and whose fate is the heat death, construct a temporary arrangement in a confined space, where the arrow of time is reversed? Suppose we build a spherical shell and suspend in the middle of it, on a stalk, a little ball. The stalk contains refrigerant lines or thermocouple wires so that by using an apparatus external to the spherical shell, we can refrigerate the little ball that is in the middle. Suppose we do that, and we also heat the outer shell. Inside the shell, the shell will radiate inward due to its blackbody radiation. The little ball in the middle will absorb this energy. Again, inward radiation. This is the opposite of the circumstance of humanity, where we live near a hot ball that is radiating outward to the relative coolness of the CMB. Does the apparatus I described create a local and temporary region where the arrow of time is reversed?

  811. Many of them come from stars. If you look at some random sample of space, not much of it is occupied by stars. Most is space with just some very thin gas in it, the interstellar medium. Hence, compared to all the space that is around, a given star is a tiny ball. The photosphere of the star wants to send out photons in all directions, because the origin of each photon is random, so it can be going in one direction as likely as another. So, from the point of view of an observer in some random place like the Earth for example, the photons are for the most part radiating outward from each star into the rest of space. It would not contradict the laws of physics to find instead most of the photons heading inward toward some little cold ball, but the fact of the cosmos that entropy was clamped low in the past and seems to be unclamped in the future, gave rise to the condition where it is common to see stars radiating and not little cold balls absorbing.

The justification given for the mutilation turned on the notion that people, including children, have "assigned gender", "gender identity", and "gender expression". None of those three concepts is supported by evidence. But because of a religious belief in them, Ms. Cole was mutilated. Those who insinuate that human beings, rather than words, have "gender" are promoting the same beliefs that were used as the excuse to mutilate Ms. Cole, and so potentially, are promoting the mutilation of more children. People who so insinuate should take responsibility for what they are saying and where it leads.

  866.  @mantispunch  , voters are denied equal power to one another when they oppose different counts of candidates. Some voters are permitted to put their exact stance toward the candidates on the ballots and those ballots are fully counted. Other voters are denied that. Suppose for example it is a single-winner election among A, B, and C. Under the US system of voting, any voter who opposes two of those candidates gets to cast a vote exactly reflecting that. But if someone only opposes one of them, she cannot express that on the ballot and have it fully counted. It takes twice as many voters of that persuasion to balance their opponents. That is what I am even talking about.

In the movie plot, a couple live in a house that has gas lighting, and the husband is carrying out some sort of nefarious activity in the attic without his wife's knowledge. But when he is up there doing that, he uses some light, and that draws some flow of the gas, and so reduces the pressure, and the wife sees the lights in the part of the house where she is (not the attic) get dim. But the husband convinces her that it's not really happening and that she is seeing things that are not real and is mentally ill. So the name of the movie has come to stand for the concept of tricking someone into thinking they are crazy. And I extend that to include tricking them into thinking they are a robot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting

For example, much of it is made by burning coal. There is loss in the combustion process, loss in the heat engine, and further loss in the electric generator and the transmission lines. I suppose that by your imaginatively spelled "elektrik", you mean battery vehicles. There is loss in charging and further loss in discharging the battery. Plus costs in making the battery and in properly disposing of it at the end of its useful life.

  979. ​ @isobar5857  Oh. Yes. Observers at different velocities can register different durations between the same events. Special relativity. This has been checked by flying atomic clocks around in airplanes, etc.
    1
  980.  @isobar5857  A clear case of "events" is meetings. Say you and I meet in New York. That's one event. You get on a 'plane with your atomic clock and I stay put with mine. You fly around the world about four times. You land in New York and have another meeting there between the two of us. Your clock can register a different amount of time since our prior meeting than mine registers. I think this meets your definition of one of us traveling into the other's future. So, the "same events" are our two meetings, and your clock and mine register different time durations (lengths of time) between those same two events. As to your question about the terms "past" and "present". At a given time in your experience with your clock, that time is your present. The times of the events you can, in principle, remember accurately, or read about in your journals, are your past. You might be able to predict something about your future, but prediction is not as accurate as memory, in general. Another way to think about distinguishing past from future is that in a closed thermodynamic system, entropy increases toward the future. By "closed", I mean nothing is passing into or out of it that would take away entropy. So, this brings up a question I have been wondering about for the last 24h or so, and I don't know the answer. Is it possible to create a temporary local condition where entropy is decreasing over time? I'm envisioning a box with heat insulation around it, and in the middle is a little ball, and it's mounted on a stalk, and there are pipes running through the stalk that allow us using external equipment to refrigerate the shit out of the little ball. We plan a sequence where the box and the gas in it and the ball start out at room temperature, and we let that sit for a while, then we turn on the refrigerator and cool the ball for a while, and then end the experiment. So for a time, the flow of energy via radiation and heat conduction go from the walls of the box toward the ball, and from the gas toward the ball. This is time-reversed from a model where there is a hot ball and energy flows out from it. And this time-reversed picture is like the world you and I actually live in. We live in a space some distance from a hot ball, our Sun, and radiation flows out from that. Now in our world, it's possible to build and run a computer, and have it record events, and make decisions about what it will do in the future. But I'm pretty sure that in the cold-ball experiment I describe, it won't be possible to insert a computer in the box and have it record events from the future (what we as experimenters standing outside the box would regard as the "future") and make decisions about what it is going to do in the past. So that confuses me, because my understanding is that the past and future are distinguished from one another by a gradient of entropy over time (it's increases into the future), but it sort of seems as though the experimental design I describe creates a local and temporary pocket in spacetime where the entropy gradient is reversed. The radiation goes inward toward the little ball, which is the reverse of what we experience with the Sun, where the radiation radiates outward, so it sounds like reversed time, but I don't believe a computer or a person or other information-processing machine or being placed in the box is going to experience reversed time. So the question still confuses me.

Maybe you learned that from one of your parents, for example; I don't know your case (and I am not an expert, just a random person sharing ideas). Maybe tell your partner that you want to refine your pattern toward him, that you are working on it. Seek individual counseling. If your partner thinks couple counseling would work better, consider it, but maybe the best thing is for you to spend some time with individual counseling, if you can afford it, to explore the causes of the difference between what you actually do and say and what you think would be wiser or more in line with your true values. Once you have a handle on it for yourself, and why your judgement has changed, and what change you want to make in your pattern of behavior, maybe invite the partner to join with you and the shrink to talk about what all this means to him and whether there's an opportunity for both of you to make your relationship work better (according to the values of each of you) as a result of what you have learned or thought about.

  1002. In regard to "jealous", I wonder whether you are reacting reasonably to something unreasonable (untrue to your relationship) your partner is doing?

I'm saying there's a range here, and depending on the circumstances and behaviors and expectations, sometimes it makes sense to stand up for your rights. Does he do the things with you that he promises you he'll do? Does he spend the time with you that he promises? Is it enough time for what you need from a respectful and loving relationship? There's bad "jealous" and good "jealous", depending.

    1
  1034.  @adjacent-smith  "Heavier" can refer to either weight or mass. But for objects sitting on the surface of the Earth, weight is pretty nearly proportional to mass, so the distinction doesn't matter much. Material substances you encounter in normal experience (not crazy stuff in a physics lab or outer space) evidently consist of atoms (or ions, but we'll gloss over that distinction for now). Atoms include atomic nuclei and electrons. An atomic nucleus can have protons and neutrons in it. Protons and neutrons consist of quarks and gluons. Mass is energy. Part of it is the energy of the quarks vibrating, and the binding energy between them. The other part of mass, besides those "obvious" forms of energy, is what has been called "rest mass." If I understand correctly, the latest explanation of "rest mass" is that it is the binding energy between the given particle (e. g. an electron or a quark) and the Higgs field, which is said to pervade all space.
    1
  1035. For a given type of material, the density is affected by how many molecules fit in a given volume. And this is affected by temperature, because if the molecules are jiggling around a lot, there is on average more space between them. The distances between the molecules are also affected by what sorts of chemical bonds can happen between them. And the chemical bonds are determined by the outer electron shells.

  1129.  @happygimp0  << Do you have any study on any case that gives some realistic numbers? >> I do not. There was a time before people had built a practical powered aircraft. The Wright brothers decided to give it a try. They had some theoretical approach to understanding flight, I am sure, plus some data on glider flights etc., and probably some other data on engine performance and propeller thrust. But they did not have any study on any case of actual powered flight that gave realistic numbers or any assurance that powered flight would succeed, because it had never been done before. Similarly, there are some people claiming engineering credentials or chemistry credentials, etc., saying that they think it possible to build breeders and "burners" that will convert those long-lived transuranics, the isotopes that have to be stored for thousands of years according to the current safety model, convert those into energy and end up with just fission products as waste, and they say these can just be stored in a room for 300 years. But with the current technology that starts with enriched uranium and puts it in oxide form (which is of course a solid) and does fission in it in that state, then when that runs down, says that everything remaining is "waste" and has to be stored, that causes problems that if you say humans should not accept those, and should judge the cost/benefit not worth it, I can likely agree.

You exert this force on the string. If the string is cut, you fly in a straight line.

  1190. It would be consistent with her thesis to reply that the civil authorities enact policies that put convicted rapists, child molesters, and murderers in prison, and that such policies affect individual behavior to make the crimes less likely. "Should" they feel remorse? What's a "should" to philosophy and science? Feelings of remorse, or the anticipation thereof, can function as an intermediate signal resulting in a lessening of the likelihood of the crimes. So, yes, they should feel remorse. Does this mean there is "free will"? The prof. thinks she has a reasonable definition of the term, and by her definition, I think the "should" does not lead to "free will". But I still wonder whether a better definition could be articulated, and by "better", I mean, "cleaving more closely to how people commonly use the term (but without hand waving or angels on a pin head or such kinds of wordiness that lacks semantics)."

  1191. Almost every election in the US is a steal, because it uses first-past-the-post voting (FPtP). The Supreme Court held in Wesberry v. Sanders that for "One Person, One Vote" to be upheld, "the weight and worth of the citizens' votes as nearly as is practicable must be the same." Fargo and St. Louis showed that Approval Voting is practicable. As validly argued at [1], Approval Voting weighs the votes equally, and First Past the Post does not. Therefore, FPtP is now unconstitutional. Moreover, FPtP maintains an absolute rule of capital, to the exclusion of representation of the needs and interests of the people at large, as argued in [2]. FPtP is the most antidemocratic aspect of US society, even more so than the other and more often-cited vote-suppression methods.

  1205. For what it may be worth, I think that if any two people find each other interesting to talk with and have time, it's great if they do so. If you think things may be going toward intimacy or commitment, you just have to be open-eyed. If you are expecting the other person to change, and if everything hangs on that, you should probably discuss it with them, or say you can have fun with each other by agreement but it may or may not lead to commitment. The usual thing you hear from people who sound wise is that people don't change and can't be changed. If your happiness or sense of balance depends on another person changing, that's probably a mistake and you should evaluate the plan with a lot of skeptical thinking. I don't claim to be an expert -- just sharing thoughts.

The point of rated voting is to use your rightful degree of power over the outcome, which is the same as that of any other voter. If you don't have a compromise candidate, you probably should vote in Approval style. But if you do have one, the availability of a score like 9 out of 10 gives you more leverage, I think. Think of a situation like Nader/Gore/Bush, if you like Nader but think he probably won't win and you still care which of the other two wins.

  1273. Can we, whose origin is the Big Bang and whose fate is the heat death, construct a time-reversed "and" gate? Can we, whose origin is the Big Bang and whose fate is the heat death, construct a temporary arrangement in a confined space, where the arrow of time is reversed? Suppose we build a spherical shell and suspend in the middle of it, on a stalk, a little ball. The stalk contains refrigerant lines or thermocouple wires so that by using an apparatus external to the spherical shell, we can refrigerate the little ball that is in the middle. Suppose we do that, and we also heat the outer shell. Inside the shell, the shell will radiate inward due to its blackbody radiation. The little ball in the middle will absorb this energy. Again, inward radiation. This is the opposite of the circumstance of humanity, where we live near a hot ball that is radiating outward to the relative coolness of the CMB. Does the apparatus I described create a local and temporary region where the arrow of time is reversed? Is it possible to imagine, consistent with the known basic Laws O' Physics (TM), but ignoring the kaon, an hypothetical cosmos containing two regions where the arrow of time, and the entropy gradient through time, is reversed, the one region compared to the other, with, in each of the regions, information-processing entities that can remember the past and decide what to do in the future? When I say "future", I mean in the direction of increasing entropy in that region.

    1
  1301. OK, I pretty much found the answers. The abort computer used integrated circuits. There's a report at http://apollo.josefsipek.net/Documents/TN-7990-ApolloExperienceReport-AGS.pdf . Contrary to statements in Wikipedia, the abort system could navigate the LEM to rendezvous with CSM with LEM being the active party. Also, the abort system had a specific mode for use in Earth orbit. If I read the report right, there was a mode where the astronauts could input a desired delta-vee and the abort guidance system would steer the ship to the resultant vector.

  1304. I have been wondering the same thing. Is this maybe a start in the correct direction? We may remember a common scenario where a patient (pt) is about to undergo a medical or surgical procedure, and the judgment of the situation by the medics is that it is necessary to put the patient under. So a specialist takes care of that, the anesthesiologist. At the outset, the pt is considered "concious". She can for example answer questions. As the drugs take effect, her eyes close and she seems to lose the ability to complete a sentence. Eventually she is wholly unresponsive to stimuli, and the anesthesiologist can tell the rest of the medics that the patient is unconscious. So this use of the term "concious" in this kind of context is telling us that consciousness is judged by ability to respond in certain special ways to stimuli, ways that people think they can judge in a social context based on social behavior or the lack thereof.
    1
  1305. According to Feynman, light also goes in all directions, but the paths that don't look like a straight line cancel each other out due to destructive interference.
    1
  1306. Anesthesiologists use some rules about input/output to judge how much drug to keep pumping into the patient. The measure being estimated is usually called consciousness. You want the patient unconscious when you go cutting into her or him, so that she or he will not experience pain and distress. Anesthesiologists are considered expert at making this judgment.

  1310. Now that you have a PDP-11 with a front panel, here's my suggestion for your next project if you just want to fool around: - Zero out the real or virtual disk drive. - Use the panel to deposit a minimal FORTH interpreter. - Program in FORTH from a terminal to implement whatever operating-system aspect you feel is most sorely missing if you want to program an application that you judge useful or interesting.
    1
  1311. More than one person commenting on this vid says that one can articulate the common understanding of "free will" as follows (I'm adding a bit of detail to how those commenters lay it out): We humans process information. As self-conscious entities, by which I mean, entities that tell stories about our "selves", we divide the environmental effects on our behavior into two categories. One category is the "inputs", and they consist of the stimuli that merely give us knowledge about our environment but that do not cause pain or injury and do not interfere with our ability to contemplate. The second category, called "interference", does cause or threaten pain or injury or put pressure on us to speed up or constrain our thinking and evaluating processes. So, for example, if I see a fly in the house, that's an input, and if someone has me stretched out on a rack and has put an iron on my belly and plugged it in and says I must divulge the key to my encrypted disk drive or she will let it burn me, that's interference. Free will, according to those commenters, is the opportunity to make decisions based on the inputs without interference. So, if this is the definition, it has nothing to do with whether the physical world is deterministic.

  1332. In connection with photons, you might find it interesting to look into how they measure the apparent diameter on the sky of a distant star with radio interferometry. The narrower the star is, the more certainty there is about the momentum of a photon that comes from it. And the more certainty there is about the momentum, the less certainty there is about the position. So, the narrower the star is, the fatter are its photons when they arrive on Earth. The astronomers set up a pair of dishes to pick up the photons. If the photon is fat enough to slop across both dishes, it interferes with itself. So they adjust the distance between the dishes and see where the interference stops.

  1333. Maybe it is about time to suppress AI as too costly.

  1334. No, those are not the same. Matrices don't necessarily commute. <psi|psi> is a row by a column, so the result is a scalar (the dot product). What does |psi><psi| mean, then? I'm thinking about it as I write. The first factor is |psi>, the ket vector, and so it's a column vector. The second factor is a row vector. When you multiply matrices, you always proceed in steps that involve row by column multiplication producing a dot product. In this case you are multiplying one-element rows by one-element columns, and the result has these scalar products as its elements and will be overall a square matrix, because you have to cover all the rows of the column vector and all the columns of the row vector.

  1356. If the theoretical forcing doesn't add up, which is basically your assertion when you talk about your calculations, that should have been big news a long time ago. Any number of competent parties are, I'm sure, repeating such calculations. Yours are most likely in error (most likely in an assumption on which they are based). There are satellite measurements of the radiation entering and leaving Earth. Even if the heat capture is caused by CO2 from volcanoes more than that from industry (which I would doubt), humankind still faces the same threat of starvation due to massive crop failure due to chaotic weather due to global warming. A number of lines of evidence point to the risk. The citizens of all countries had better force their respective governments to take this risk seriously and take drastic actions to mitigate its effects. The likely alternative is omnicide.
    1
  1357. I read that chaotic weather is the norm, but that it has been on hold for the last 10k years, which is just about the length of time that people have been farming. The climate models, of which the social evidence says they are pretty good except for underestimating the problems, are said to predict with higher global temperature averages come more-count of storms per year and stronger storms, and that is just what we are seeing. And they are said to predict more occurrence and severity of droughts, which is what is happening in Calif. and adding to the severity of the fires and the difficulty of putting them out. I believe the writing of Guy McPherson also mentions unexpected cold snaps hitting the orange groves. Do you think that if you talk to a farmer, you shall hear that things are getting better? Also, I read that some big proportion of rice production is in Thailand at low altitudes; it will get flooded.

  1374. Another example of the uncertainty principle is applied in astronomy. Astronomers are interested sometimes in the "apparent diameter" of a star as seen from Earth. This is the angle it would subtend if you could make out the edges of it and measure the angle. If the actual diameter is somehow known or inferred, then from that and the apparent diameter, you can get the distance, or the distance is somehow known and you can measure the apparent diameter, you can get the actual diameter. But when you look at a small or distant star with a regular optical telescope, you can't measure the apparent diameter (it isn't really apparent), because it always just lights up one pixel on your detector. So, according to what I read (sorry, source amnesia), here is what astronomers do. Stars can be microwave sources and dish antennae can pick up this radiation. Since a photon of microwaves coming from the direction of a star is overwhelmingly likely to have originated from the star, by the time that photon gets to the radiotelescope on Earth, its momentum is determined to within the apparent diameter of the star. For a star with a small apparent diameter, the momentum of a photon from it to Earth is very precisely known. Since the momentum is well determined, the position isn't. This makes the photons big and sloppy. By varying the distance between two dish antennae (one of them is mounted on rails so it can be trundled along), they can do interferometry and see out to what distance the photons are interfering with themselves. From that, they use the uncertainty inequality to infer the apparent diameter of the star. For me, a fascinating question in connection with this measurement technique is how do they do the interferometry. I get the impression that there's a receiver at each antenna and the bringing together of information from them happens as classical information transmission, not quantum. Does that work for interferometry? How? Another interesting dimension of the fact that this technique works is that it seems like a time reversal in a way. I'm used to hearing about experiments where a photon hits a screen and is detected to have a location, for example the double-slit experiments. From the setup of those experiments, QM cannot predict that all the photons put through the experiment will land on the screen at a precise spot. So, that's uncertainty about the destination and destiny of the photon. But in the star-apparent-diameter-measuring exercise, there is uncertainty in the origin of the photon. We think it's somewhere on the face of the star, because everything is very hot there and photons are boiling off every which way, but for a given photon, its origin isn't precisely determined. It's as though the photon doesn't know the past from the future.

  1514. Given that grammar arises at least once in the lightcone prior to and including ourselves, someone must have been first to have reached that ability. There is no logical reason to conclude that we are not the first. So I have established the possibility; let's proceed to the question of the probability. As at least a couple of other commenters allude to, there are arguments floating around to the effect that the arising of human-like capability as it happened in the only case we know about, i. e. our own case, depended on a long string of improbable and rare events. Evidently most of the planetary systems found are characterized by the planets within them having close to the same size within a given system, but ours is exceptional and has multiple sizes. Saturn and Jupiter seem to have changed places. Both of these gas-giants, located in high orbits of Sun, which I gather is exceptional in that most systems have gas giants near their star, clear a lot of inflying crap that would otherwise likely bombard our planet and kill most of us off so often that we wouldn't get enough breathing time to build up grammar. Then there's the chemical difficulty of going from a few amino acids here and there to a complex self-reproducing molecule or system of molecules in association with each other (something like RNA and rhibosomes). Who can be sure how rare or common that is? Then there is the transition from prokaryotic life to eukaryotic. The concentration of energy characterizing only the latter gives us enough power to think and communicate and model. Then there is the protection against cosmic rays provided by Earth's magnetic field, which in turn comes from convection within the planet. So, it seems to me that a big pile of reasons exist to doubt whether we shall ever see any sign of intelligence or life beyond the one case we know about, which the anthropic principle requires that to exist, so looking at it as a telling example amounts to the biggest cognitive bias of all time and of all theoretical possibility with respect to what degree of cognitive bias could ever occur.

  1528.  @iainmackenzieUK  A lifetime of experience in which these things don't happen makes it hard to register the theoretical possibility. But the physical interactions that matter in such a case are reversible, so far as anyone knows today. There is the kaon thing, but that's unlikely to figure in with water-droplet mechanics. I think that what makes such events so rare as to be for all practical purposes impossible may be the facts of the cosmos. The past is constrained to low entropy (for unknown reasons) and the future doesn't seem to have such a constraint. Consequently, we live in a region of spacetime where there is a gradient of increasing entropy.

  1529. << You cannot change the physics of planetary proportions involved on the climate. >> Wrong. Overshoot of the industrial revolution has changed physical facts of planetary proportions, namely the concentration of CO2 in the air and ocean. The quantities are pretty well known.

  1531. ​ @DJVARAO  Controlled experiment is not a necessary paradigm for this debate. To say that people can't change the planet is refuted if I can point out that even once, they did. It's like saying bacteria or fungi can't change the composition of the contents of a Petri dish because it is so big compared to each of them as an individual, or that they can't change the contents of a jug of cider into vinegar. It's roughly known how much coal people have mined, how much carbon is in that, and what proportion of it went into the environment (as opposed to being tied up in nylon and so on). It's also known what a given concentration of CO2 does with various wavelengths of light that come along. It's known what the concentration is in the air today and what it has been in the past. The idea that industry doesn't contribute significantly to it is ludicrous.

  1573.    In your opinion, what is the significant difference between building a refrigerator and building a spider web, that leads you to say that one is a sign of consciousness and the other is not? I say there is no such difference and so your statement that consciousness is the ability to reduce entropy of a system is worth revising or retracting.

  1580. During Chloe Cole's childhood, she was mutilated. The justification given for the mutilation turned on the notion that people, including children, have "assigned gender", "gender identity", and "gender expression". None of those three concepts is supported by evidence. But because of a religious belief in them, Ms. Cole was mutilated. Those who insinuate that human beings, rather than words, have "gender" are promoting the same beliefs that were used as the excuse to mutilate Ms. Cole, and so potentially, are promoting the mutilation of more children. People who so insinuate should take responsibility for what they are saying and where it leads.

  1637. I don't know how to describe the full range of application of QM, but I know that it explains particle interactions and measurements on particles. QM is a procedure for calculation that yields the probabilities of experimental results given how the experiment is prepared at the start. The input to the calculational procedure amounts to a description of that preparation. The simplest example, I believe, is the spin on the electron. You can prepare the electron by exposing it to a strong magnetic field for long enough. Then you can turn off the magnet, re-orient it whichever way you want, turn it on again, and use detectors to find out whether the electron emits a photon or not as it decays into the new magnetic orientation. If you repeat that experiment many times with a fixed angle between how you prepared the electron and how you measure it, QM will predict the relative frequency of finding that it emits the photon.

  1639. So the radiometer works from gas effects. Say you start in the dark and turn a light on it and keep the power of that light steady for a while. Does the speed peak and then fall some, due to conduction of heat from the dark side of each vane to the light side? Without a temperature difference across the thickness of the vane, there would be no difference in pressure from the heat-driven gas effects, and so no torque, so we should expect the bearing, even as good as it is, to absorb the rotational energy.

  1645. In the case of the room and the fan, you are talking about gauge pressure, not absolute pressure. If you put a barometer in the room and read it, you shall see that the pressure it shows is positive.

  1649. This is hard. At first, I wanted to say yes. But the output of a function is determined by its inputs, and the detectors seem to have random outputs, and so seem not to be deterministic. But maybe there are more inputs that I'm not properly taking into account.

  1650.  @fantasticanomaly838  Not only that, but in an experiment with just one detector, the experiment can be repeated, with the same preparation every time, at least in its deliberate aspects, but the detector does not give the same result every time.

  1651.  @eb4661  The photon is not split into two photons. It remains a single photon, but its position and momentum are superpositions of its having gone the two ways through the beam splitter.

  1652.  @eb4661  Single photons interfere with themselves. I don't know what interference happens involving two photons. And "kindergarten level" is a bit of an exaggeration. Kindergartners do not know matrix arithmetic.
    1
  1653.  @eb4661  There are double-slit experiments that used such a low intensity that single photons may be detected. The statistical pattern of their detection shows the interference fringes. Therefore, each photon is interfering with itself when it goes through both slits. It's only detected in one place, but the statistical buildup shows the pattern. QM correctly predicts the statistical outcome.
    1
  1654.  @eb4661  "And, such single photon splits and re-connections involves changes to lower frequencies when split and then up again when re-connecting." Where has such a phenomenon ever been observed? I have never heard of photons combining to make another photon. What does the Feynman diagram of that look like? Where in the video is it implied that a photon splits into two photons as opposed to remaining a single photon and entering a superposition?

  1657. Given that energy can take different forms, what do all the forms have in common that results in adding curvature to spacetime (or results in in gravitational attraction)?
    1
  1658.  @ps200306  What explanation is there for the E in the equation embracing realities that take different forms? What do they have in common physically? How does spacetime know how much total energy there is in a massive object, when the energy can take different forms? Energy must be a "something" other than merely the form it takes, in order to have that gravitational effect.

  1659.  @ps200306  It occurs to me that all those force fields are mediated by virtual bosons. Maybe those in turn exchange gravitons with the surrounding spacetime.

  1674. Not to dispute in any way what Claude Massé said, but as Leonard Susskind explains the spin on the electron in his video introducing QM at a very elementary level, the coefficients (with their real and imaginary parts) come from certain magic matrices associated with the spatial directions. I suppose the spin on the electron is probably the simplest case imaginable that can be addressed with QM.

  1683. Say "global heating", not "climate change". When you say "climate change", that plays into the hands of the enemy. He says, "climate changes all the time", and so on.
    1
  1684.  @godfreypigott  Saying "global heating" is in no way avoiding facts and it conveys the same facts as "climate change" does and more. The latter plays into the enemy's rhetorical response because it is insufficiently specific and precise, heating being the core of the problem, and because it invites the response "climate changes all the time", which is factually true but observing that is a distraction from the issue of heating.

  1685.  @godfreypigott  Heating is the core of the problem. In the early part of the warming, the ocean could absorb much of the heat, because the specific heat of water is much higher than that of air. But no longer.

  1690. ​ @leighcoulson2148 , you mention << just a point of interaction which transfers some energy from the 'wave' >>. But to be complete, I think your model needs to include not only that point, but also the one at the other end, where energy gets transferred into the wave from some other source. Say for example the retina in my left eye, or some telescope, detects a photon from a distant star. The photon-like behavior happens both in the receiver and in the photosphere of the star, where heat energy or energy from the movement of an electron between energy levels in its atom, gets converted into EM radiation heading toward my eye or the telescope.

Now you have deleted that question, evidently, as it doesn't show up anymore. So I'm not crazy; @Corey also saw your question.

  1749.  @SpiritsAndDemons  Maybe it's the power meter itself. Put your ear right on it and see if it is louder there. If there is not a power outage, but you open your main breaker or remove your main fuse, do you still hear it? If not, I'd say try opening half the small breakers and so on, to see which circuit the noisemaker must be on. Usually when electrical equipment hums, it's because there are windings and an iron core and so there's a varying magnetic field, and there are loose parts affected by the field and they can be made to vibrate, and when that vibration couples to the air or the house, the hum gets propagated to where you can hear it. So for example, with a transformer or a ballast, it could be the iron laminations in the core or a steel case vibrating. Motors of course can vibrate for the same reason, because they have windings and laminations and cases, but in addition, they can make noise because they have actual moving parts and bearings.

So I think my thinking is similar to yours, as both of us question the assumption that something relates the laws of the worlds. If it's a simulation, our world could have as little to do with the real world as sword-and-sorcery stories have to do with ours. Moving on from that, I come to reason that any notion of another world simulating ours is an intellectual dead end. It might not even be philosophy, let alone science.

  1831. No one today can be a "renaissance man" and investigate everything for herself directly. We all rely on secondary or tertiary interpretations and judgments from experts. I don't know whether "consensus" is the best word for this, but we need a report of what the scientists who study a given topic with integrity think the truth most likely is. In matters of risk management as public policy has to be applied to it, we need the best advice from people competent in risk management concerning the particular type of risk e. g. a pandemic or the global warming. I would usually think to call such aggregated opinions a "consensus" but without any implication that "consensus" is a democratic process, one scientist, one vote. I take it to mean a merit-driven aggregate opinion based on the best work of people proceeding ethically and honestly and from study and knowledge and competence.

It's about a system that is in mathematical theory predictable, but in practice not predictable because measurements and calculations are not precise enough given how sensitive the system is to initial conditions. No doubt you will respond that Heisenberg uncertainty is the reason that measurements are not precise, and sometimes that is true, but the Butterfly Effect would still arise if classical physics and the Navier-Stokes equations were true all the way down.

  1985.    Situations where force is observed involve bosons. But I guess you are right that no one has "explained" force. The germ theory explains disease by describing the action of gross objects, similar to what we encounter in our daily lives. It's as easy to imagine a bacterium as it is to think about a wolf. The explanation taps into an hierarchy of levels of understanding. Disease is a deviation from the normal and healthy operation of the body. We can connect that deviation to the action of the germs. The diseased individual and the germs also, we can speak of in terms of cell biology. We can break that down further and talk about the action of the DNA in the cell nucleus and the RNA and the rhibosomes and the proteins. In understanding what the cell wall and cell membrane do, we get down to the molecular level. But even this far down, there isn't much reference to quantum physics; chemistry was worked out before it was explained. If we keep crawling down the hierarchy, we'll get to where the forces arise that move the components of the bacterium from one position to another as necessary for their biotic functioning, and we will have reached the end of the rope of explanation, because we have none for the forces.

But the problem won't come up if the information you consist of can't be extracted from its current incarnation at all, due to technical limitations. And I think you are also repeating a concern about whether this information could be placed in another form, e. g. an ordinary computer file, or even some collection of qubits or what have you, something built by artifice. But again, I think the problem of writing the information into such a form may never have to be faced, because the prior problem, of reading it from where it is now, may well never be solved. So to me, the reading problem is the chief reason to be skeptical about the likelihood of my ever seeing the idea of uploading people reduced to practice.

It's a pedal that the operator holds down, to indicate attention. If the switch is released, the emergency brakes come on. It's a fairly good indicator of consciousness but is not itself conscious.

  2104.  @politicalfoolishness7491  As best I understand the most scientifically accepted models, the universe that we can see came from one big bang, including our planet and ourselves. At first, the universe was full of quark soup or some other kind of plasma that was opaque. Due to expansion and cooling, there came a moment when space became mostly transparent, even with whatever plasma was filling it up. The plasma was hot, and so it wanted to radiate, as all hot things do; that's black-body radiation. When it was opaque, it was trying to radiate, but the photons couldn't get anywhere. Then all of a sudden it went transparent, and the photons were radiating in all directions from everywhere left over from the black-body radiation of the plasma or quark soup or whatever it was. This radiation comes to us from all over the sky as the cosmic microwave background.

  2120.  @denissorn  From ones own viewpoint, one would feel that fixed acceleration so long as the rocket propellants and energy source (which may be the same things or not) held out. Velocity is relative.
    1
  2121.  @denissorn  It doesn't mean anything to ask, from the point of view of the travelers, whether they would reach a certain speed. From their viewpoint, their velocity is zero as a vector.
    1
  2122.  @denissorn  Then how would you measure speed?
    1
  2123.  @denissorn  So, that's velocity relative to Alpha Centauri. That will never reach the speed of light, but your accelerometer will continue to read 1g for so long as you like.
    1
  2124.  @denissorn  I think maybe the source of your confusion is that "acceleration" has two different meanings. And in all the material I have seen aimed at teaching physics, I have never seen them pick qualifiers or terms to distinguish these two meanings. One meaning is what I call "felt acceleration". That is the value an accelerometer would give. An accelerometer is a mass hanging from a spring. The other meaning is the time derivative of velocity. This value can't be held constant forever, because then velocity would reach and pass the speed of light, which you and I know it cannot. But I say the "felt acceleration" can be held constant for so long as the propellant and energy holds out for operating your rocket. Or if you are on the surface of a planet, you don't need any energy or propellant. The surface of the planet keeps pushing up on you, and maintains for you a "felt acceleration" equal to what we call the acceleration due to gravity at that surface.

  2140. I want to think that if you see a star, one particle is relating an event on the surface of the star to another event in your retina. But maybe my intuition about this is not well supported by the evidence. I'm not sure whether this is relevant, but there is a radio interferometric technique for measuring the apparent or angular diameter of distant stars. The "apparent" diameter is not apparent in an ordinary telescope-and-camera arrangement, because the star is going to light up just one pixel in the detector regardless. Astronomers are interested in apparent diameter because if they think they know the real diameter of the star, they can infer the distance, or vice versa. The technique uses two radio dishes and one of them is on railroad tracks and so its distance to the fixed dish can be adjusted. The signals from radio receivers attached to the dishes are somehow combined to detect the presence or absence of interference. When there is interference, this indicates that the photons are big enough to cover both antennae and interfere with themselves. Even though the photon lands at the detection site including both dishes, the origin of the photon is spatially sufficiently non-determined that it could be anywhere on the disk of the star as seen from Earth. The narrower the apparent diameter of the star, the more determined the momentum of the photon is, and so by the uncertainty principle, the less determined is its position. So, the fact that this technique is practical seems to me to counter the argument you mention from Huygens Optics. Something about a photon where the light wave is interacting with detectors on Earth is saying something about the origin of the "same" photon from the hot surface of the distant star.
