  1. This is incorrect. It is noticed in the rotation of our own Milky Way.
  2. What does make you think that SCUBA diver on a depth of 60m, monitoring gages and dive computer and communicating with other divers, has a quiet mind?
  3. Do you have a reference to this kind of miscalculation?
  4. SCUBA divers report the same after experiencing nitrogen narcosis. A common brain response.
  5. The trajectory would depend on the mentioned distance and on the mass rotation.
  6. By now, we know that there is a leak and that the leak is in a pipe between the pool and the filter.
  7. To push - impossible. Only by hitting with a good hammer. A wooden stake will break. It's a mix of rocks of various sizes. To clarify. These rocks and gravel are not a cover of the ground. They ARE the ground. At least to the depth of ~40cm.
  8. Below is the close-up picture of the surface texture of my "lawn". If it did not rain recently, all is dry. Here is another:
  9. Did a bot understand you correctly? Check it: Summary of the Text: Miguel Vega expresses a thought-provoking theory regarding memory, existence, and the afterlife. He begins by reflecting on the nature of memory and forgetting, suggesting that forgetting an experience (like in cases of amnesia, Alzheimer's, or blackout drunkenness) may make it feel as if the event never occurred, at least from the perspective of the individual who forgets. Vega wonders if, similarly, if a person were to forget their entire life due to a condition like Alzheimer's, it could be as though they had never existed at all, at least in their own experience. Vega then explores two different perspectives on the afterlife: the religious view (that there is life after death) and the scientific view (that death is the end, and human consciousness is just the result of biological processes). He discusses the idea that, without memory, a person might feel as if they never lived, and in this context, questions whether consciousness could persist after death or if everything could simply cease. He speculates that consciousness might continue in some form after death, citing personal experiences and religious texts like Isaiah 65:17, which alludes to forgetting past things in the afterlife. He also shares his belief in God, combining a scientific mindset with spiritual experiences that have led him to think there may be a form of eternal consciousness beyond this life. He ends by requesting literature or evidence that supports or challenges his theory, quoting Albert Einstein's statement, "I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious," to emphasize his quest for understanding. Structure of the Text: Introduction: Miguel introduces his theory about memory and forgetting, questioning how memory loss impacts our perception of existence. Exploration of Memory and Forgetting: Discusses the idea that forgetting something, such as during blackout drunkenness or due to Alzheimer's, might make it seem as though the experience never happened from the perspective of the individual. Existence and Afterlife: Reflects on the philosophical implications of memory loss and connects it to the two primary views of the afterlife: religious (life after death) and scientific (biological processes ending with death). Asks if the inability to remember could equate to not truly experiencing life or existence. Personal Reflections on Consciousness: Shares personal beliefs and experiences regarding consciousness, suggesting it may persist after death and may not be lost entirely. Cites religious texts, particularly Isaiah 65:17, to ponder whether memory could be erased or simply not matter in the afterlife. Closing Remarks: Requests feedback, literature, or studies on the subject from others who may have explored similar ideas. Ends with a quote from Albert Einstein to express his curiosity and desire for further understanding.
  10. I'll do this next I did. Shut off all the valves to and from the motor-filter assembly. No effect. Evidently, the leak is in the underground pipes. I got an unconventional idea for such a thing. Will try tomorrow.
  11. Yep, this is the goal. Sure, but it's not time to give up yet. I'll do this next. Thanks.
  12. Thank you. The issue is, if I understand correctly, that they are designed to measure moisture in a gardening soil, although one of the meters mentions wood and drywall. My "ground" is not a soil. It is a mix of coarse sand, rocks, and gravel. Add mostly arid climate (except in rainy season, when everything is soaking wet). I doubt there is any moisture above the leak.
  13. This analogy is plain wrong. Quantum mechanics is much (!!!) deeper than this.
  14. Thank you. My pipes are buried in the ground around the pool, but not under the concrete. Still, before digging and messing up a big area I'd like to narrow it down as much as possible.
  15. The motor pendulum, classically, has probability 1 to be where it is and probability 0 to be anywhere else. It is not so in quantum mechanics, and it makes a big difference for electron. Probability amplitude - Wikipedia
  16. It has a probability amplitude to be there.
  17. Unlike the motor, electron does not take up that space.
  18. Only in one day, the effect is clear enough. I've modified the test from the original idea. Instead of covering all the inlets and outlets, I plugged only the outlets, i.e., the main drain, the skimmer, and the vacuum. The lowering of the water level has slowed down to about the evaporation rate. Thus, the leak is not in the body of the pool, but in the plumbing between the pool and the filter. This is good news. Now, how do I pinpoint the leak? The suspected three lines are mostly buried.
  19. It is not the same thing at all. One is a region of space, correct, the other is a position of an electron, incorrect.
  20. No, electrons in atoms do not have definite positions.
  21. No, they do not. Electrons in atoms do not have orbits.
  22. This is good, but my pool is a fresh water one. OTOH, I am sure it is a leak, as discussed earlier with @TheVat. I'm going to check 'pool vs. lines' following this idea:
  23. I do not have such equipment. I will keep this possibility in mind, but it will take time to get them to do this check. And cost. There are four lines: from the skimmer, from the main drain, from the vacuum, and the return. Not the first option on my list. Thank you anyway. This was one of the first things I did myself (I am a former SCUBA instructor.) I've just thought of a very simple way to check if the leak is in the pool or in the pipes. I can cover all the inlets and outlets in the pool and see if the leaking stops.
