I don't know about that, but if we treat 55 and 145 as lengths in metres, you could fit 450 average bananas between them.

Whole lot of stuff here and a bit of misrepresentation of character, mixed in with bad sentencing on my part. Same bandcamp we are! just that we do seem to do more thinking than others. Dolphins do a lot, but less than us and insects do a lot, but possibly less than dolphins. I hold these views not on emotional thinking, but research and observation. A) I was always arguing since the begining that animals think, sorry for the confusion. Most in science believe that it is about information processing without thinking. I see it as information processing with thinking. Repeating myself for clarification purposes. B) all of these plus more coming as they are published.

You’ve not identified a ratio in the IQ graph, or a number on which to form one. If your reference is 100, the golden ratio would put a line at 161.8

Socrates famously having lived after the invention of the printing press. How does a record of what someone said become out of date? Has a new version of e.g. the Gettysburg Address been released? Spoken word relies on memory, which is flawed. Writing before the printing press relied on hand-made copies, which were often not faithful to the original. Would you want a legal issue decided based on what people thought they remembered, or would you rather have multiple identical copies of a written document.

You literally claimed earlier that you believe only humans can think and are now backtracking with a word salad and not even an appetising one. Define axiomatic. How do you imitate an internal brain process? Is it self evident to a dog that we think too? Logic is a particle now? 🤨 All I can say is that what you are saying, doesn't make as much sense aa you think it does and isn't consistent in having a point.

Sufficiently advanced technology indistinguishable from magic

While I understand why you said this, I just want to nip it in the bud. This is the Philosophy section of a Science Forum. In philosophy though, there are some standards for at least backing up your line of thinking by supplying some references to someone else who's line of thinking is in line with or strengthens your own. The idea here is that if you believe you are arguing on the side of what is true, if you're failing to convince someone of it, it's because you're not explaining it in a way that your conversational counterpart can understand or accept, assuming they are arguing in good faith, which is polite to assume until proven otherwise. Sometimes, someone else said what you wanted to say, better. - Rene Descartes The above is a small example. Depending on the topic, more than 1 line is expected. You'd be shocked at how many people could get a decent grade on a philosophy paper, where the majority of the text is references to other texts.

Though I made it humorously, the point I was making is very simple. They don't give you antibiotics unless you are sick. So the question is, which is likely to have a greater effect on fertility; the drugs or the infection? It's perfectly plausible that not taking the pills will leave you dead. And that's going to reduce our fertility much more than the drugs will. (An infection may also reduce it) Doctors and health insurance systems (private or nationalised) are fairly good at doing risk/ benefit analyses. Only focussing on the risks of antibiotics is just as foolish as ignoring them.

Mechanics of comet motion. Community of Russian scientists. url deleted A comet is born when a satellite, orbiting a planet during the new moon phase, breaks out of orbit. Having left the planet's orbit, the satellite moves against the rotation of the Sun, due to which the centrifugal force of the satellite is reduced, and as a result, the satellite rushes towards the Sun. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet If the orbital speed of the satellite is greater than the orbital speed of the planet, then the satellite moves around the Sun in the opposite direction. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrograde_and_prograde_motion In the new moon phase, when the orbital speed of the planet and the satellite are equal, the centrifugal force acting on the satellite from the Sun is zero. For this reason, the satellites of the planets in the new moon phase approach the Sun. Perhaps comet Shoemaker-Levy, when rotating around its axis and Jupiter in the new moon phase, approached the Sun, then overturned and scattered into fragments. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force The eccentricity of a comet's orbit can be expressed using the following formula. E = Vp/Vs. Jupiter's orbital speed is 12 km/sec. The orbital speed of Jupiter's satellite Metis is 31 km/sec. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Solar-System-Moons-Separations-and-Radii_tbl1_256459609 Metis, synchronously rotating around Jupiter and its own axis at a speed of one revolution per 7 hours, is slowly approaching Jupiter. And everything that rotates, including satellites, has the properties of a gyroscope, maintaining the vertical position of the axis in space regardless of the rotation of the Earth. https://youtu.be/aj-RClXNloc?si=qOR_20ODcKT-ZmHT When the axial and orbital speed of the satellite reaches a critical point, the satellite, having the properties of a gyroscope, overturns, due to which the synchronous rotation of the satellite is transformed into asynchronous. https://youtu.be/Lgi9bZ40tHQ?si=yW9VnF3Lj2TqXvAE During a satellite capsize, a centrifugal force appears, due to which the satellite breaks into fragments, like the Shoemaker-Levy comet. Next, one part of the satellite fragments leaves orbit and moves around the Sun both clockwise and counterclockwise, another part enters the asteroid belt, and the third crashes into the planet. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Shoemaker%E2%80%93Levy_9 Perhaps the asteroid belt was formed from the torn apart moons of Jupiter. It is possible that the asteroid belt is located between Jupiter and Saturn. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_belt Asteroids, rotating around their axis and in orbit, periodically collide with meteorites, due to which the asteroid, having the properties of a gyroscope, first sways due to a violation of the center of mass, and then overturns, leaves orbit and moves towards the Sun. https://youtu.be/1n-HMSCDYtM?si=CWN0ToKqhw8eOFB3 The claim that tidal forces tear apart comets is questionable. Because the tidal force is too weak and depends more on the diameter of the comet than on the distance from the Sun to the comet. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_force The stability of the orbits of planetary satellites is also reduced by unstable orbital resonance and stable orbital resonance between the Sun and the satellite. Perhaps the supermoon is the result of a stable orbital resonance. The supermoon also depends on the orbital speed of the Earth and the Moon and the shape of their orbits. Perhaps the gyroscope has other unstudied properties, one of them is the Dzhanibekov effect. The above can be easily verified by experiment. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_resonance Anticyclones also have gyroscope properties, due to which anticyclones are blocked. http://meteoweb.ru/2018/phen20180730.php Continuation: links deleted
