Right? I hope its just momentary poor word choosing from Kip Thorne, especially that hes saying that hes quoting Einstein.

I agree with you 100%. Its just that Kip Thorn's words resonate with me and I still cant parse them: "Gravity that we experience on earth is due to the slowing of time on earth"

Sure. Mass causes the curvature of spacetime which causes gravity or like Swansont once said "gravity is spacetime curvature" i always assumed that tme dilation is the result of gravity not its cause.

Both least time and least action was mentioned in many of the pop science books Ive read but I couldnt say Im familiar with it.

Yes, Kip Thorne says that in the video and I think he also says that hes quoting Einstein. I agree that time dilation cannot be seperated from spatial contraction and actually from gravity as well but I must admit that I was not aware that gravity itself is caused by time dilation? Im having trouble parsing this.

Any decent smartphone has 2 microphones, one for normal operation and the second one for noise cancellation. Hearing aids have them too but more sensitive and more advanced. The key in hearing aids is to isolate the missing frequencies and feed them and only them to ones faulty ear. From your explanation above your device would give you loss of hearing due to excessive volume. It certainly would not give you "super hearing" If you want to play around safely with this stuff get youreself a directional microphone, I assure you it will be a lot more interesting.

Its a nasty invention but they invented it a long time ago and its called money.

I typed in a pretty long answer for you Phi but decided not to post it. I don't think I want to go through expanding this particular discussion. Cheers.

I wonder why it is that in a community with thousands of registered users only a handful are active. It might be a good idea for the mods to discuss this among themselves.

"Gravity that we experience on earth is due to the slowing of time on earth" I must say that I have no idea what this is about. I have admiration and respect for Kip Thorne so I assume its a either a poor word choosing or theres some more meaning to this. I dont get it.

Safe and cheap teleportation of people and objects.

I wiki'd it. I think I want to read it.

I think It's a twisted need to be noticed and respected through a similar mechanism to "theres no bad publicity" Pretty harmless in my opinion...Im more aftaid of the smart people who get crazy ideas.

Up until now I was convinced that a singularity needs to be ridiculously dense and needs to occupy an extremely small area of space. Apparently I was horribly wrong, thanks for explaining this imatfaal.

Seems that I am the dense one after all. Always thought that certain mass within a certain small radius will have extremely high density without which a singularity would not form.

I'm afraid that they have to be Argent

I think the OP might be confused and the key point to make here is that black holes (singularities) are incredibly dense objects occupying ridiculously small area of space. I would also like to say that it is a pleasure to read and answer your question tdolowy...you dont have to worry about us having to bare with you. I remember being 14 and I was very much into black holes then

Theoretically anything could become a black hole if you could squash it dense enough.

That girl in the video is cute. And I'm ready to bet she ain't got no penis.

Armwrestling.

Yes, I've heard about that macro enanglement stuff. I think they managed to perform an experiment on 2 diamonds which for a ridiculously short time exhibited entalglement. I would presume it still happens on a quantum level though and has no correlation with the relations and unknowns in the game of poker. I think that the closest we get to harvesting the quantum states so far is quantum computing. I couldn't imagine how we could harvest QM directly to everyday objects. I agree. Like I mentioned in one of my previous posts, stack size variable is missing too which is crucial for a no limit game. It doesnt matter though...theres still no correlation other than that both systems - poker and QM deal with probabilities (on totally different levels)

Hey imatfaal, I understand what you wrote this time Simple explanations satisfy me the most: The act of observing an unknown state of particles involves acting upon them with some kind of radiation - photons for ex which influences the very act of observing these particles. The act of observing an unknown state of playing cards involves acting upon it with photons too but no matter how hard we try to bombard the cards with photons we will not influence the act of observing them. No matter how hard we try we won't get a deck of cards to behave in a quantum mechanical way.

For the last time, please read what Phi for All wrote, read it twice, five times if needed, try to understand.

But Phi, can you give any links to peer reviewed studies which disprove empaths? (Sory, I couldn't resist)
