Excuse me for quoting myself, but in SI units the ratio between the Newton's gravitational constant and the Planck's constant is:

I am glad to report that he apologized for the cheating. The peace is restored.

Literally! Add to this that usually the instructor deals with a group rather than one student at a time. So, there is a human group dynamic in play. Sometimes there are couples, and, for example, you see that only one of the partners is really interested while the other feels that they 'have to' go along, which is a bad sign and needs to be addressed.

It seems to me that all efforts of spacetime interpretation of quantum states are akin efforts to prove Euclid's fifth axiom. The discovery of states which exist independently of spacetime sheds light on a deeper structure of the world of events.

Yes, this is right, when what they say is at least correct. Unfortunately, it is often not so.

I suspect that it is a wrong place to look for knowledge.

Is it entertaining?

And the other way around: geodesics define the parallel transport, the covariant derivative, and the connection. But not necessarily a metric.

Rather an automatic driving instructor.

I don't know what you mean here. I think that a very advanced robotics is needed for the open water training. Plus, problem solving, thinking on your feet, ability to forecast and prevent issues before they manifest themselves, balancing between training goals, risks, and responsibility. IOW, human experience well beyond training standards.

You mean, in principle. I mean, considering the current AI "boom".

That was, SCUBA diving instructor.

Geodesic is a physical phenomenon. It is a worldline of a free-falling particle and thus independent on clocks and length measurements. The latter are defined by the former. The following paragraph agrees with your I don't know about aspects of using standard time in general and TDB in particular. Hopefully, other knowledgeable members will contribute to this regard.

I prefer to look at it the other way around. A microscopic world does whatever it does, while the gravitation is a macroscopic consequence of it.

The following theoretical construction perhaps contains the answer to your question: (let me know if you want to read the rest of this Box - it does not add anything to the construction itself)

It's 'Yug' / 'Юг'. For whatever reason, Latin letters were used for North and South on maps and compasses, not Cyrillic. But the geography teacher did not know, which is which. Maybe she thought that 'N' looks like 'Ю' a bit. The story had a continuation. After she said that, I politely raised my hand and when she asked me what I want, I said that the letters should be the other way around. She was very upset and told me to bring my parents in. My father met with her the next day. Turned out they knew each other from school. So, I was not punished, but was forbidden to ever again correct her in the class. And there were many opportunities. Here is another one I remember. The day after Leonov conducted the first ever spacewalk, she came to the class very excited. She told us what a great achievement it was. In her words, "Just imagine, the spaceship is moving very fast. To let Leonov go out, Belyayev had to stop the spaceship, and it is very difficult at that speed. And when Leonov returned, Belyayev had to accelerate again..."

Several lists here:

A childhood memory came up from nowhere. Our geography teacher was introducing a world map. She drew a big circle on the blackboard. "This is Earth," she said. A horizontal line in the middle. "This is equator." A vertical line. "Earth axis." A point on the top of the axis. "This is the North Pole." (The lesson was in Russian.) "To signify that it is North (Russian: 'Sever'/'Север') it is marked with the letter 'S'. The South Pole is marked with the letter 'N'." The last part went without any justification. IIRC, this led to my first confrontation with authorities.

I wish the Science Forums dot net were more strictly Science Forums dot net.

I don't believe that it is necessary to read 5-page paper before start of a discussion. You could post a paragraph or two, attach a diagram from your paper, show the final result, etc., and then add details as needed depending on how the discussion progresses. BTW, you have only one allowed post left for the first day of membership.

It plays very well with the established scientific theories, e.g. Eric Kandel - Wikipedia

I think, what they meant was pseudo-theory rather than pseudoscience: Consciousness theory slammed as ‘pseudoscience’ — sparking uproar (nature.com)
