  1. When a massive body is considered "in its own reference frame" it means in a frame where its momentum is 0.
  2. This answer to the puzzle makes me think of this sketch:
  3. I know that there are some restrictions for the first 24 hours after signing up, as anti-spammers protection. Maybe it is one of them, I don't know. Otherwise, you could message admins/moderators.
  4. This is not how DNA works. DNA does not contain information for reconstructing our bodies. The only way to use DNA to get a body is to let it go through the entire developmental process. And then, the result will depend on both DNA and the developmental environment, which surely will be different from the original. So, the "reconstructed" body will be different from the original. This includes the brain. The "reconstructed" brain will be different from the original. Thus, it will not fit the stored contents of the original brain.
  5. frequency times wavelength = speed of light p = E/c = hf/c = h/l
  6. Rather, p = hv/c = h times frequency / speed of light
  7. I still don't understand the second half of the song. Why would the goat catch the dog, the cow catch the goat, and the horse catch the cow? What kind of animal behavior is this? Do they ALL have issues?
  8. That raises another question, perhaps for another thread: did the old lady have a medical condition known as Pica? Pica (disorder) - Wikipedia
  9. Rest assured I will not bother you anymore.
  10. Thank you for explaining. I understand his post now. Perhaps, I wouldn't understand the lyrics anyway, because of the APD.
  11. Did her body remove it as per OP? (I didn't watch the video, so don't know if it contains the answer)
  12. I knew a young woman who in her teen years tried to get facial rings a few times, in an eyebrow, in a lip, ... Her body pushed them out every time. The rings just fell off, leaving small scars on the skin behind.
  13. Is this OP talking to themselves? They never answered my questions. Did they ever answer anybody's question? What kind of discussion is it? Is it their personal blog?
  14. They are not "spiritually" weak, nor are they mentally weak. Where these ideas come from? What does it do in the science forum?
  15. Sure. I was too far for them to care.
  16. Eight years ago, I had a sharp pencil puncturing my finger and getting a couple of millimeters into the skin. No bleeding, the hole completely healed, but a grey graphite mark is still visible under the skin.
  17. Did anybody mention indigenous peoples living in deserts?
  18. Lucky shot! As flamingoes move all the time, this configuration perhaps stayed only several seconds. Here is a sequence of pictures I took, with a symmetry breaking. A couple, male (in front) and female (in back), of Magnificent Frigatebirds resting on a solar light (incidentally you and I discussed solar panels not long ago): They are the largest birds here, with a huge 6-foot wingspan.
  19. Asymmetry is beautiful. Flamingoes at mangrove forest edge:
  20. This would increase rather than decrease the submersible's buoyancy, wouldn't it?
  21. How often the CEO was piloting the submersible? Did he do it this time to show how much he trusts its safety?
  22. A biological classification of a taxon does not put it at the head of a chain of 'trickle down' classifications, i.e., it does not aim to answer, what the taxon contains, but rather, where the taxon is in the "tree of life". Continuing with the dog example, the biological classification of the species, C. familiaris, does not have it on top, like this: but rather has it on the bottom, like this: or like this: and so on. The difference is what is meant by "to classify" something: to "classify a set" is to analyze its contents, while to "classify a taxon" is to show its relations to other taxa.
