"Changes our understanding of evolution" is not the same as a fundamental new principle. I was under the impression that the susceptibility to mutation not being uniform was known earlier than 2022. Also, the use of "random" is problematic here; things can be random even if the outcomes don't have equal probabilities. Fair dice are random, but you roll 7 more often than other numbers. A normal distribution is not a flat line.

I’m not sure why “unexpected findings” would be the evidence I’m asking for. We have unexpected findings all the time in physics without requiring a paradigm shift. What it does is fill in some blanks or force some small adjustments to existing models.

“Gene-based disease is more complicated than we thought” is not evidence of a flaw in the established biology. It’s not like anyone found that such diseases aren’t genetic. It looks to me like they found that an assumption - that these diseases were based on some simple genetic code - was in error. In that way, the model was modified. That you did not answer the question, and just repeated your previous dribble, suggests you have nothing to offer in the way of evidence. (“this will help cure disease” might just be some boiler-plate PR that‘s included; I saw this quite often in atomic physics, where some discovery or investigation was touted as improving atomic clocks, which rarely happened because the technique was too difficult to implement, or the complexity/benefit ratio was way off. One shouldn’t pay too much attention to the message sent to the masses) edit: wasn’t the COVID vaccine enabled by genetic sequencing?

What did the genome sequences reveal that discredited established biology? If there are none, why would there be any new principles?

! Moderator Note OK, we’re done. Feel free to ask questions to clear up your misconceptions about relativity, but your caricature of it is not what the theory says. Don’t re-introduce your…musings…on the subject

! Moderator Note Your opinion is not what is important. What we want is a model and to see how the evidence supports it.

No, that’s not correct. The speed of light is the product of these two, and it’s not 8 m/s. 400 THz is 750 nm ”time is a point” suggests that it has a single value, which is not the case, but time dilation is an effect on an oscillation frequency. Time is the integral of that frequency (i.e. you count the ticks of a clock to give you the elapsed time) Any claim you make must be somehow testable. How does one test your conjecture?

If there’s no place to land, how do you deploy your ~12.5m diameter balloon? (roughly the same size as a Bell 407, which can lift more weight and is maneuverable)

Yes. The requirements are specific to the journal. As I recall, the process generally took several months for peer review, revisions and publication. Submission dates might be included in the article so you can check for yourself e.g. a recent one from Phys. Rev. Lett. Published in April “Received 7 September 2023 Revised 11 January 2024 Accepted 26 January 2024”

In what situations?

Clouded over - nothing but a diffuse bright blob, at best, and it got kinda dark for a while.

Another cargo vessel lost power near a bridge but was being escorted by tugs. https://abc7chicago.com/verrazzano-narrows-bridge-new-york-apl-qingdao-cargo-ship-loses-power/14634032/# “The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed the container ship "had experienced a loss of propulsion" Friday night as it traversed a waterway in New York Harbor.” I’m guessing this happens relatively often but we just weren’t aware because near-misses usually don’t make the news

Can you provide evidence of quantum transitions at such low energies? Neutrinos do not interact electromagnetically. You’re building speculation on top of more speculation, and give the appearance of just making it up as you go. ! Moderator Note The charade has gone on long enough. This doesn’t fulfill the requirements of speculations, despite ample opportunity to comply. Don’t bring this topic up again

No, I want to know how photons are generated in a solid given your model. Photons don’t just sit there - they move at c - so they are either absorbed, or they leave the material. We can know the rate at which they leave, since it’s dictated by the Stefan-Boltzmann law. But once the photons are absorbed inside the material, which will happen quickly, how do you get new ones? (Once we can calculate the heat capacity, we can find out how many photons there must be)

You say there are all these photons but can’t tell us how they are generated. I know how they are generated in mainstream physics, but your model denies that mechanism. And once you figure out the heat capacity issue, there will be more deficiencies to point out.

That’s not a mechanism for generating photons. No. The Kelvin is a fundamental unit. It does not equate to joules. Your link does not say what you claim here; you have omitted a factor (in the denominator) of the Boltzmann constant, which has units.

Why? What is the mechanism in your model that gives you these photons? K-1.kg-1.s * K^3 does not give units of heat or heat flux. The temperature factors don’t even cancel

! Moderator Note Your thread was locked. You don’t get to bring it up again.

It’s a false dichotomy, because there are other ways of getting money. If you won the lottery, you’d be rich because you won the lottery, not because of your own work or because of family money.

How? What mechanism gives you photons? Units still don’t work.

So they are only in the material for a short time. How do you get new photons to take their place? Your units don’t work. VT^3 doesn’t have the units of Q

Does your model account for the heat capacity of the material? What happens to the photons?

Who measures time in such experiments with a spring-driven clock with gears? Mechanical clocks lack the necessary precision. But time dilation is symmetric. Clock 1 will run slow compared to clock 2, from clock 2”s perspective. How can a mechanical effect have a clock run both fast and slow? It can’t. Time dilation isn’t a mechanical effect It sounds like you think there is an absolute rest frame.

I just moved, and am a few hours outside the totality region, but was too occupied to arrange to get inside the zone. And am too wiped out to contemplate travel at this point.
