These give you the 2-D shapes of the gravity wells, which would be related http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/spacemaps.php#xkcdgrav

Some folks are probably excited about this... https://phys.org/news/2022-06-results-anomaly-elementary-particle.html New scientific results confirm an anomaly seen in previous experiments, which may point to an as-yet-unconfirmed new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino, or indicate the need for a new interpretation of an aspect of standard model physics, such as the neutrino cross section, first measured 60 years ago.

Rights are what you get given by those around you. If you believe in a higher power that dishes them out, then that's your "right". Presumably you would baulk at the woman killing her own hours-old baby. Are you one of the old guys forcing her not to kill it? I am. That's the essence of the disagreement. If you regard a fetus as the same as a day-old baby, then you believe that they should have the same rights. I personally don't. I regard them as different. But the difference diminishes with every day of the pregnancy. To the point where, even though I'm pro choice, I would ban abortions of viable fetuses.

While I am pro-abortion, I can hardly go with the general tone of this thread. The truth is that making abortion more difficult will result in winners as well as losers. It's not as black and white as most posters are portraying it. At the end of the day, not all unwanted pregnancies are the result of rape, or all the other long list of nasties. Some really are just down to people being their own worst enemies. Women and men. Self-inflicted grief is harder to sympathise with than bolts from the blue. And talking of self-inflicted grief, it's ironic that many of the people who will suffer most from this are people who never bother to vote. "because it don't change anything". And of course, the winners will be the people who get born, who wouldn't have. And the mothers who will be glad after the fact, that they didn't abort. And they do exist. I'm giving the other side of the argument. Like I said, I would personally keep abortion, but I don't pretend that it's a clear-cut choice. Both sides of the argument leave a nasty taste in the mouth. In an ideal world, nobody would want or need one.

An interesting article by Jill Lepore published in the New Yorker in May 2022 makes the point that the 4,000 words of the US Constitution written in 1787 contain no references to women https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/why-there-are-no-women-in-the-constitution That is by no means the end of of the derelictions in the Constitution either. It doesn’t mention, black people, Jews, or people who identify as LGBT for example; nor does it have anything lucid to say about climate change, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, the internet, the expansion of the universe, the Hubble constant, the nature of dark matter, SETI - or a dozen other topics of pressing interest either. Most critical of all, the US constitution (in Ailto’s view at least) has nothing to say about a fundamental right to privacy. That at least seems to be the cornerstone of his decision to overthow 50 years of stare decisis, and to throw the USA into legislative chaos.

God, apparently, loves guns and unborn humans. What He's not so crazy about are women and children. Among other calamities, yes.

"Pro-life" is similar newspeak like "Patriot Act" and similar.. to distract and mislead average citizen.. Oddly enough, beyond my comprehension, they are often gun lovers..

Did cosmic inflation happen before the force of gravity existed?

And only relevant in the local time era. Genghis Khan probably has the most descendants ever. But now, those descendants probably have about 1% of his genes. (wild guess, can't be bothered to research it). So basically, if you want life to have a meaning, you have to invent one.

Fortunately, people are becoming more aware and dare I say more tolerant for those that suffer. Especially as iNow mentioned, more so since the pandemic has accelerated the number of cases. It's good to see that this terrible illness is being taken more seriously recently, and I feel though there are many illness's that deserve more investment for research and treatment than they get, mental health should be up there near the top of the list. Mental health issues, in addition to being difficult to diagnose for treatment, also cause physical issues that can manifest at any time and some very serious ones at that. It all then becomes a vicious cycle, like a whirl pool that is difficult to escape from. All we can do on this forum is give people support and, as iNow excellently but simply stated- "You're not alone"!

That’s not true - a Euclidean spacetime would have the same sign for the space and time parts of the metric; for Minkowski spacetime these are opposite. In Euclidean spacetime there wouldn’t be any relativistic effects, since the speed of light can’t be invariant. You need the hyperbolic geometry of Minkowski for that.

Yore not alone, especially after these last few years. The pandemic and breaking of social norms and related ignorance in politics (but mostly having to stay home during the pandemic) has caused depression frequency and intensity to surge. Councilors appointment books are overflowing and even they themselves are feeling the effects. You’re not alone. Getting out in nature, walking, sunlight etc all definitely help, and the hike you’re taking could turn into a two-fer if you happen to walk through cattle fields and maybe find those shroomies you seek.

That is correct. But then again, it was not meant to. It is not "incomplete and vague" in these areas, it is simply not within its scope. Saying is is incomplete and vague in these areas is like saying my sourdough bread recipe is incomplete and vague because it does not explain how wheat is grown.

See how easy is to introduce error. Check Zn-64 on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_zinc They say it's "observatory stable" with possible double beta decay+ But calculate decay energy, and it'll be obvious it cannot happen. Simply sum of nucleus of Ni-64 + 2e+ have higher mass-energy than nucleus Zn-64. They had to use D.E.=(mparent-mchild)*931.494 MeV=73.6 keV This error is repeated over and over again in many elements. I have checked three elements, and all three wrong. Ni-58 another example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_nickel

I will not fall for your insulting provocation. This is for children and frustrated people. Rubbish is your unfounded protest. Why can’t we assume the universe as the reference frame? NASA uses the UNIVERSAL CMB RADIATION as reference frame in its space ship, to determine its REAL speed. You are attached to outdated concepts. See: https://einstein.stanford.edu/content/relativity/a10854.html I agree!!! You contradicted your own previous statement. You cannot use wrong premises of the old outdated BBT to confront the theory opposite to it. At what distance is gravity trivial? Give me a number in Gly or mpc. If you give that number, (which I doubt you do), we could say that a body at half that distance would would still be gravitationally counted, both by us and for a body at that supposed distance of gravitational triviality. That is why there is not such distance, the universe is fully connected. BBT is a dogma. No, the increment in the mass energy of the atom due its shrinkage is neglected when compared with the total energy of atoms. Nice but failed attempt to bring the subject of gravity into this thread. Gravity is a controversial topic that should be, (and already is), addressed in a specific thread. For now, I can say that gravity is the property of energy to concentrate.
