Try taking a photo of the experiment. You will likely find the paper tinged blue... this is because our brain is tuned to represent things as it thinks the way they should be, and so it filters out the blue*. Make sure the camera doesn't automatically white balance as that will nullify the blue. This is a quirk of brains rather than a physics issue. iirc the wavelengths add up to a more purple sky than we see. * Our visual system has evolved to maximize contrast for the better detection of threats. In this case it's colour contrast rather than light-dark contrast.

So, the result of the Hafele-Keating experiment is just rubbish. Why must nature conform to our commonsense?

Nature doesn't have to be rational. This is well-known. Like I said: it defies your commonsense. Leave it at home when thinking about stuff that resides outside of the macro-world, commonsense and intuition. They are useless in this environment. As Mordred has already said: verbal descriptions are inadequate. If you really want to have a leg to stand on, you need to learn and understand the maths.

"You are jumping the gun don't you think? Before you rush of with interpreting the results of some experiment, you must justify the validity of the hypothesis." - I thought that was the experiment's job.

Can you expand on that? I don't understand.

It insults your commonsense, but Nature does that all the time.

At the end of the day, and said explicitly by military chief Milley, they make their own operational decisions. It's their fight.

As pointed out to me, the Constitutional principle of redress for grievances is already written. It's working, people have the political arena to air them... and they do. What is taking time is the solution. The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Given the precision scientists have available now for mapping radioactivity and deeper general understanding i think the fear is higher now than in the past.... which is a good thing for encouraging sitting on your hands. The Zaporhizia reactor is possibly where the nuclear brinkmanshipmight play out. It's interesting how both sides planes are not playing as much part as I thought they would.

I did read the other day there's a solar panel problem coming in a decade or two: the solars panels will be end-of-life. The numbers are huge.

We can expect in such desparate things when the military upperhand is swinging the other way. They've only got nukes left by way of escalation. The planes are pinned on the ground. Russian ruling party is a mafia and I imagine they'll have a version of the Omerta; code of silence.

If you are bored, don't trash other peoples conversations.

Right. No. Treating it as a 'class action' (I think it's called) is what I meant.

But we have to generalize, we are talking about a whole ethnic group. Individual cases should be dealt with on their merits

You have specific details in that case. This would be too vague.

The idea of financially compensating individuals for past ethnic wrongs is a nice but naive gesture. The people that needed compensating, and to whom restitution was deserved, are not with us. Compensation comes by treating those with us now hereonin as equals. It seems to be an American peculiarity to put a fiscal price on unquantifiable things like hurt.

Just make up generic name like 'Loser'.

"...Just another sad old man All alone And dying of cancer." Dogs, Animals 1977 Roger is probably realizing his own past musings... as happens to everyone.

A few sites, I notice, put 'guest'.

The problem is he hasn't got a coherent message. If you think he has, tell me what it is.

If anybody tries the night light option, make sure you let your eyes adapt. Your eyes will adjust the colour of the light as near as it can to white, so you need to give it time to do that. Just before the point where the colourcast is obvious and too orange will give the maximum benefit, I think, without being annoying.

Also, Che Guavara, Castro and other hard Left leaders. It's only superficial and doesn't bear scrutiny. It seems that way because in his acts he personally takes on the character, and is clearly very good at it. His general artistic MO is to show the underbelly of human nature and then caricaturizes it in striking ways.

I agree. I can understand with Germany. RW should just shut up and let his work speak for itself.

Yes, that's a point. I'm right with him on Israel, but that's just a coincidence because most of his politics I don't align with.
