  2. In various threads we have (albeit briefly) touched on the fact that resistant bacteria are starting to overwhelm our ability to treat them. Now the CDC has issued a new antibiotic resistance threat report, Basically every 4 hours a new resistant strain is detected and about 35k people die every year due to resistant strains. Countermeasures that have started since the last report came out (2013) were less effective than hoped. Among the biggest threats currently are resistant Acinetobacter, Candida auris, Clostridioides difficile (formerly Clostridium), carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae, and resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae. There are a lot of issues that have to solved outside the clinical environment, such as reducing or stopping the massive use of antibiotics in agriculture. There, antibiotics are routinely used to fatten animals which results in massive amounts of antibiotics released into the environment and enter the human food chain. Another aspects are procedures in health care (including elderly care) which are often not up to par to limit microbe spread. The challenge is that a single failure can lead to spread through the health care services. There are folks still hoping that we will find an alternative treatment that will be as useful as antibiotics (which we messed up badly) but so far not alternative golden bullet is really in sight (yes there are some developments which can be useful but for the most part they have potential and/or have not shown to be effective in vivo). As a result, it seems that we are indeed moving straight toward the projected post-antibiotic era. Personally (and of course biased by my own research), I think we need to accelerate our understanding of bacterial physiology in order to develop effective countermeasures from the bottom up, as in most cases we only have a very rough understanding how antimicrobial substances actually kill bacteria (which to some extent is also true for antifungals and fungi).

  3. Run in safe-mode. Start regedit in admin mode. Find: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Once HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Once What do you see? Make screen-shots and attach in reply. Rename "Run" to "Run2" (this will disable them all at once), and restart. Did it help? If yes, one of applications which are started at boot time is responsible for this issue. Rename "Run2" back to "Run", duplicate/backup keys, and start deleting (or adding from backup) them one by one.. This way you will be able to identify which one app is responsible for this issue. Or you can follow this instruction (not sure whether it is possible when running in safe-mode) https://www.howtogeek.com/74523/how-to-disable-startup-programs-in-windows/ Alternatively, when in safe-mode, make second user account. And log to it after restart. Did it help? What is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run is started regardless of which user you log-in at boot. What is in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run is started only when you log-in to user account (so after making 2nd user account, these entries will be not present, so apps won't be started).

  4. Lots of questions but no answers. Sorry I bothered, I have better things to do.

  5. We will, but I shall be busy for a few hours now tonight. Meanwhile, Why do you say ? minus mu R rolling friction is F=-μR Have another go at a free body diagram (google it) and only include real forces external to the body concerned.

  6. The torque, yes, What do you think the rolling friction is equal to ? What do you think the normal force R is equal to ? What force do you think that is ? What have you learned from the FBD of the entire car?

  7. Isn't techology wonderful when it works ? Until it doesn't. I see there was a glitch in my last post. The scan gave you the correct equation (Newton's second Law) for the acceleration, but was cut off at the knees. My edit/correction I see missed off the acceleration completely. Sorry. So here we go 4F = W/g times acceleration or acceleration = 4gF/W So now we need to find a value for F. Which is why we need a free body diagram for a wheel ?

  8. Whilst I am not unhappy with the framework idea in your description - There are plenty of pictures of multidimensional 'singularity' arrays on the net, but I find one or two inconsistencies between your OP and later statements. Madelung theory is about as far as you can get from unreactive since it is basically the sum to infinity of multiple (but diminishing) charge interactions. Pilot waves are less interactive, but they carry momentum and are neither singularities nor asymptotic. I see no connection here. You also need to explain why pressure makes any difference to something that is absolutely unreactive. As an alternative to a multidimensional array of needles, you might like to look at Cantor Dust https://www.google.co.uk/search?source=hp&ei=WXfOXcv-H46mUIm7hdgH&q=cantor's+dust&oq=cantor's+dust&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0j0i22i30l7j0i22i10i30j0i22i30.846.3822..4576...0.0..0.300.1868.6j3j3j1......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i131j0i10.uOpLkawVaVI&ved=0ahUKEwiLj4fl-uvlAhUOExQKHYldAXsQ4dUDCAc&uact=5

  9. White light is known to be merged mixture of photons with wavelengths in range between 400 nm and 700 nm. Kids in primary school learn that you can split white light to rainbow, as well as rainbow can be merged to form white light back again.. It is known as Newton's disc or Newton's wheel experiment. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_disc The rest is some word salad..

  10. Science makes progress by trashing ideas that don't work. If you are not happy with that, try another field.

  11. Thank you for educating me, guys. I stand corrected, and next time will further research before jumping to conclusions.

  12. Infinity is usually not thought of as a number; though there are some cases where you can think of it as a number, those cases treat infinity in different ways, meaning that to answer your question, I'd have to ask what you are trying to do with these "numbers".

  14. Apparently while we were sleeping, Ohio has passed a bill that students can't be penalized for mathematically or scientifically incorrect answers for reasons based on their beliefs. ( my religion teaches the Trinity; three goes into one evenly !!! ) https://local12.com/news/local/ohio-house-passes-bill-allowing-student-answers-to-be-scientifically-wrong-due-to-religion Can't offend their vulnerable sensitivities with facts and evidence now, can we ? When you combine this with right-wing hate groups, anti-vaxxers, and your politics, the once great America is spiralling the toilet bowl. Please come back to sanity; the world needs you

  15. Cool it doesn't. (Q) pressure makes the "any difference" only to itself. It is the reaction of Q to Singularities that makes matter. The thing is, for Q, the existence of the 'Singularities' is very disturbing because it just can't go there. Q gets riled up. I've heard this, multiple times, thanks again. the math for 'Singularities' is zero equals infinity. Which is odd for math. You would test this by stripping away (Q) from (S). The infinite Q may not be accessible though because our corner of the (Q) is bound-up by the galaxy; so you'd only get the galactic max. The LHC would be a place to start. Alternatively a big computer to evaluate weather at 10-15. Each little weather event would be some form of particle that you might see falling out of the ATLAS. Whoa, Just realized the LHC is limited by the Q pressure of Earth. LHC in space? (Whooooaaa, just set up a Q phaser in the garage. There's a problem though, when I set the puk in the field, it flew off. I figure the galaxy is moving at about a half a million miles an hour so when the puk achieved isolated mass, it made a hole in the garage roof.;) Maybe the science needs more controlled conditions. All star talk aside, the use of the term "Q" for the pressure is not mine.
