How about this: Two lasers at a distance. They fire lasers on random intervals at a detector in the centre. The detector starts detecting after a random period and only detects from which side it received the first laser after starting up. If c is not equal for either direction then the detector should on average detect more lasers coming from the "fast" direction.

Why wouldnt you add "drug-related" seeds? Some drugs are plant based but have very good medical uses. Morphine comes to mind. Also it seems weird to me to not add GMO's.

+Turtle Von Nurtle Well the reason you think there are great channels in physics and mathematics is because you don't work in those field ;) Everything on youtube is watered down.

I was wrong. Cool :)

Judging from the maps though it seems that the nuclear fallout was at least polite enough to not cross the border into Canada.

I think what's also likely is that people aren't actually answering the question what number is the most random, rather it's what's the first number that comes into your head. And for some reason we have a tendency to have 37 pop into our head quickly.

I get moving the clocks creates time dilation relative to each other which hypothetically could be different based on direction, but why not just measure from multiple directions with regards to a point that didn't experience time dilation? You will then measure the one way speed of light for each direction with an inaccuracy caused by their individual amount of time dilation, so the speed of light will be wrong, but that doesn't matter since the only thing your interested in is whether or not they're exactly as wrong as each other. And if they have an equal error than that means the speed of light should be the same in all directions. So for example 3 timing devices, put them in a line. You sync them up and make them start counting, you move two of them in opposite directions with regards to the one in the center. They both fire lasers at the center clock and the running timers keep track of when they leave/arrive respectively. Compare the tables and see if the different directions produced the same error. Why wouldn't that work?

Why is the acretion disk a disk and not a sphere?

With regards to hypothesis 6; wouldn't it be more likely that their behavioral adaption to UV light is a defense mechanism, since they are clearly visible in UV light? Personally I thought the sunscreen hypothesis was most convincing. It seems like a sensible relic from the past that they are now stuck with since they would need to evolve an entirely different way to block UV light before being able to drop this one. It also explains why the scorpions in the cave have managed to drop this ability as they don't need that same protection against UV light.

1. The formula to calculate the value of the option is given in the video. 2. The people selling the option always make a profit. That's why they sell them. Now it might turn out they have sold it for less than it is currently worth, but they still made a profit. It's similar to how when you buy things in bulk they tend to become cheaper. The seller actually knows for sure his profit will be less now than if they sold all the product in tinier chunks for more money, but that comes with a risk of not being able to sell everything. So they trade some possible profit for a reduction in risk. The same logic goes for selling options.

@notPrvr Yes that's the point. They only travel one way, but in opposite directions, both going towards the same point in between them. If their speeds were to be different then the detector would measure more pulses coming from the fast direction. This wouldn't measure what their one-way-speed would be, but it would prove whether or not they are different. And if they aren't different, then the one-way speed must be the same as the two-way speed.
