The food system is a major driver of climate change, changes in land use, depletion of freshwater resources, and pollution of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems through excessive nitrogen and phosphorus inputs. Here we show that between 2010 and 2050, as a result of expected changes in population and income levels, the environmental effects of the food system could increase by 50-90% in the absence of technological changes and dedicated mitigation measures, reaching levels that are beyond the planetary boundaries that define a safe operating space for humanity.

On 26 November, NASA’s InSight mission will attempt to touch down near the Martian equator. If it arrives safely, it will embark on the first mission dedicated to listening for seismic energy rippling through the red planet.
Any ‘marsquakes’ it detects could yield clues to the planet’s mysterious interior, including how it is separated into a core, mantle and crust. Whatever scientists learn about Mars’s innards could help illuminate how our own planet evolved billions of years ago.

It looks like they launch with a catapult of some sort. How far does it fly without the ion wind? Because it's not obvious that it's gliding any further than unpowered flight.
It accelerates due to ion drive. But you need to believe it works….perhaps they use a hidden propellersystem.
And only launching a plane with ion drive isn't that special now I think about it.

Researchers from MIT have flown a plane powered by an ‘ion drive’ for the first time. The drive uses high powered electrodes to ionise and accelerate air particles, creating an ‘ionic wind’. This wind drove a 5m wide craft across a sports hall. Unlike the ion drives which have powered space craft for decades, this new drive uses air as its accelerant. The researchers say it could power silent drones.

I can't really see why there would be any conflict there. The evolution of the universe is just physics (and later chemistry) and some of it is just basic stuff like thermodynamics.
The biological evolution on this Earth is part of the evolution of the universe. The evolution of the universe is physics/chemistry/biology.

I said in the OP I mean evolution that started at the big bang, not only the biological evolution on this Earth.

I still don't understand
I know.
Like I've said before....many evidences can lead to proof. (proof is more conclusive) And in many papers evidence has the same meaning as proof. This absolute distinction between evidence and proof is just your opinion and shared by many other people, mostly people that are active on and influenced by internet.
This idea that their is no scientific proof is imo another example of how semantics changes (for certain people) in an act against religion. They like to say how scientists have faith in science. In an act against that, people say there is no proof in science.

Why is 'scripture' assumed to be only 'religious' writing?

No.
There is a lot of (scientific) evidence for religion being an evolutionary trait. And religious thought is strongly linked to morality.
Moral people tend to have more friends, you can say morality improves social cohesion.
What science says about morality is not necessary related to the moral behavior of people….

Leonard Susskind has this theory that Entanglement hooks space together. Is this property of entanglement what's called holographic entanglement entropy? https://arxiv.org/pdf/1609.01287.pdf

The Uncertainty principle also (in theory) 'contains' entropic uncertainty. How does this relate to Heisenberg's uncertainty?

Today I learned the first compass was probably made in China between 200 and 300BC. It was made of made of lodestone, a naturally magnetized ore of iron. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_compass
This is a picture of one of the first compasses.

It's a very promising technology but it has to develop/evolve a lot. Many teams attempt to correct disease-causing mutations in human embryos .
I'm very curious to how this technology will develop since you can edit the DNA of animals and plants.

he goal of this paper is to provide a pragmatic solution to every problem we experience on our planet today.
The main problem imo is that you're goal is to provide a pragmatic solution for all people which can't work. (also not 'in theory')
People deal very different with the concepts you mentioned depending on their place in the hierarchy of needs. The hierarchy is not proven but the main concept is imo correct.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs
First some 'facts', this is from google:
"Nearly 1/2 of the world's population — more than 3 billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day. More than 1.3 billion live in extreme poverty — less than $1.25 a day. 1 billion children worldwide are living in poverty. According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty."
"When you answer this quiz, Hunger Notes will make a donation to assist people in crisis. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that about 815 million people of the 7.6 billion people in the world, or one in ten, were suffering from chronic undernourishment in 2016."
When you struggle to fulfill the basic physiological needs then spending time with your children, forgiving people, travelling…(and the other stuff you mentioned) then people can't deal with those concepts in a way you find logic. I don't know where you live but many/most people live very different then you do.

What!? It is the simplest explanation of frequency change there is. Even children can grasp the full details.
You don't really mean that you don't understand it. Do you? Surely I have misunderstood you.
Yes but it doesn't explain how frequency changes. In order to know how the frequency (energy) changes, you need to measure/observe how the wave interacts with the medium it is in
17 hours ago, Strange said:18 hours ago, Itoero said:Absolutely not. There is no proper motion involved (or at least, not significant). And if you try and model cosmological red-shift as the Doppler effect, you get the wrong results
It's not the same thing? But expanding of space causes relative motion...they are IMO correlated. The BB causes expanding of space and the way matter (galaxies) behave due to the expanding of space is called relative motion.

Well, we all display. Is that forgiveness?
I memorized the display of de cellphone because it was a big display. It is possible to forgive, and let go of a grudge, but still remember the situation so that you don’t get into the situation again. If you harbor hard feelings to maintain the grudge that means the forgiveness that you may have thought you offered hasn’t been fully given. It might be that for many people forgiveness is a personal 'thing' and unrelated to saying 'I forgive you'. Maybe for many people a grudge slowly disappears.

Ok, but are relative motion and the expanding of space not basically the same thing?
On 8/11/2018 at 1:06 PM, Silvestru said:Photons of light are not technically affected by large gravitational fields; instead space and time itself become distorted around incredibly massive objects and the light simply follows this distorted curvature of space
A gravitational lens is a distribution of matter (such as a cluster of galaxies) between a distant light source and an observer, that is capable of bending the light from the source as the light travels towards the observer. Can't this matter cause gravitational redshift?
I know I'm alone in this but the doppler effect has no explanatory value. It categorizes wave behavior but it doesn't explain how waves change. Gravitational redshift does explain how wave behavior changes.

So what are the consequences of your forgiveness, or lack thereof? If I stole your cellphone, you wouldn't forgive me, but you also say you wouldn't hold a grudge. What would you do? If I gave it back, apologized, and you still didn't forgive me, my observation would be that you're harboring some deep-seated feelings of resentment.
When a cellphone gets stolen it's most of the times no by someone you know. You remember how and why it got stolen and change your behavior so it doesn't happen again.

So then forgiveness isn't something you need to do to become a biologically healthy person at the moment. Some people experience chronic health problems due to their unwillingness to forgive (including my family) and my example was more directed at them then somebody who doesn't have much of a problem with forgiving someone.
It can be necessary for your health, but not for everyone. A grudge doesn't necessary has an influence on your health. When my cellphone got stolen, I of course memorized it, but the memory has no influence on my health.

I've never done that. That's just how you misinterpret things.

yes does it does.
I've many time been asked 'Can you forgive me?' while there was imo nothing to forgive. In such a case I forgave while there was no grudge.

Did Einstein's God differ from Hawking's God?

Isn't this basically Pantheism? Didn't Einstein 'believe' in the writings of Spinoza?
