Would it be possible to capture an atmosphere fully, comprising all the chemical compounds?
What is the chance of that, and is it our place to police it?

Isn't it a mass spectrometer what's needed?

Could the Internet become self aware?
Can't it all be virtual, in software, and following the rules of neurons?

Transgender athletes
They aren't being subjected to anything beyond taking samples, which all high-level athletes do anyway; it's an observation exercise.

Of course, it gives you a starting point: numbers.

M theory, String theory, Theory of Everything
The perception of harshness is easily avoided if one doesn't become emotionally invested and realise ones idea is being critiqued and not the person. In scientific discourse, emotion is generally left out in responses, and this austerity of feelings is not usual in the social intercourse we have in our daily lives. Once one realizes this, it shouldn't be an issue anymore.

But that's the real-life potential difference. I hope you know by now I'm not a troll or anti-LGBTQ.

Theoretically, that's how fast or hard a transgender female can be. You can either attempt to predict and proact or you can go down the empirical root and react, after the fact. It's an arbitrary choice the way you decide to adjudicate.

What is at the threshold of existence?
The only way I can think of that is quantized and sub-quantized, i.e. Standard Model particles and single virtual particles. virtual particles aren't individually measurable AFAIK.

Could the Internet become self aware?
If AI ticks all the boxes, what other conclusion can you come to? What it means is that self-consciousness doesn't have to have a wet substrate and perhaps the process can be virtual, such that it's pure software, emulating neural processing.

Could the Internet become self aware?
If you can't tell the difference in the responses, I think it's self-aware because you can't prove another real person is self-aware, so a machine and person are in the same boat.

question movement
He needs to put his DVD's in an opaque, gas-tight box, full of inert gas, suspended from the ceiling of a cryogenic freezer with elasticated string.

Are Space & Time A Fundamental Property Or Emergent
I have seen it mentioned that another requirement is a failure to predict the correct outcome in emergent circumstances. You can't predict what will result from some combination. It seems to me that this requirement is that it 'appears' to be magic. From this, it would seem that the use of the word 'emergence' might just be a placeholder word for some process that is not yet understood.

Is window 11 is safe to use?
Typing 'run' in Search, then typing 'tmp.msc' will show you your pc's tmp status.

EYE FAUNA?
Could it be impurities in the aqueous humour scintillating?

Could the real size of the universe be infinite?
It could be infinite. The 96blyr figure is just how far light can travel from out there to the earth before the universal expansion is too fast to reach us. This is what we call the 'observable universe'. We generally don't receive any information outside our observable sphere in any given moment, but the sphere does increase in size, so we gather more information eventually.

Could the Internet become self aware?
This is the 21st century, what will be the state of logic circuitry in the future?
-
Could the Internet become self aware?
I think probably, when it has sufficient complexity, such that it's operational behaviour is indistinguishable from 'wet' biology. I think 'sufficient' is the keyword, rather than it being a specific milestone in technology... when it gradually surpasses our human level at distinguishing a difference.

Drug trials: incidence of side effect lower than background
So, if the myocarditis cases are screened out, does the drug get the blame for those found in the trial?
-
Drug trials: incidence of side effect lower than background
How is it to be interpreted in drug trials when the incidence of a condition in a trial is less than in the population? For example, myocarditis in covid-19 vaccines. Someone brought this up elsewhere, and I wondered.

Your mention of TPM 2.0 lead me to query it and found this solution if you don't want to upgrade hardware. Goes into the whys and wherefores of this upgrade too. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/how-to-bypass-the-windows-11-tpm-20-requirement/

Yeah, the biggest liars in the world are fisherman. Oneupmanship is alive and well amongst UK anglers.

What can you do with a glass distilling apparatus
Distilling fermented material for drinking carries a real risk of methanol poisoning if you aren't aware of how to deal with it. Make sure you familiarise yourself on the process of removal if you intend to consume your efforts. To could start you could learn about evaporation temperatures for liquids.
