Is framing issues in terms of "men and women" necessary in the 21st century?
But there wasn’t, so your whole point is a distraction. I don’t know. It doesn’t matter to this issue; you claimed that “to exclude men, wich (sic) are half of the population, from the healthcare project is just medical nonsense.” and a service that caters to women is not evidence that men are excluded. I can personally attest to the fact that men can and do have access to cardiologists. According to your horrendously flawed logic, the existence of e.g. a women’s soccer team means that men are excluded from playing soccer. Which is abject nonsense. You haven’t presented evidence that they aren’t, but one has to recognize that equal treatment does not mean treating two groups the same.

Logical Vacuum Genesis
Plus a paper from 1982 probably has follow-on work, which would support, rebut or constrain the proposal.

That’s not evidence of anything. It’s like concluding that unexplained flashes of lights in the sky are aliens. edit: it’s even less, since at least flashes of light are evidence of something.

But you have no evidence. Your position is not based on that.

Utter twaddle. Men are not excluded from healthcare just because one group focuses on reaching out to women. I can’t find this quote in the link. No mention of “husband” at all

You said in another thread you had no agenda, yet this is a recurring theme in your discussions.

As I pointed out before, the numbers matter. "Faster" is relative. If humans are able to create life, even if it's 100 years from now, they will have done so at least a million times faster than nature did. How many people do you think are actively trying to do this in a lab? Right. That should have been 10^-16

This, like the black lives matter vs all lives matter, misses the point. Could it be that women face a higher risk of death from heart attack than men? https://newsroom.heart.org/news/women-found-to-be-at-higher-risk-for-heart-failure-and-heart-attack-death-than-men Or maybe because there is an existing health care gap https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2024/08/womens-health-gap-healthcare/ https://mcpress.mayoclinic.org/women-health/working-toward-gender-equity-in-womens-health-care/ It is a medical issue, and political one (though not the political issue your tone suggests)

Saying harder just makes the same mistake. And the response is still "So what?" That there is a better realization of how difficult it is should make it less prominent of an issue (edit: x-post with zap)

Faith (split from How atheists often misunderstand and misuse the theory of evolution)
That's religious faith, i.e. definition 1 But that's not the only definition of faith. No, that's not what I referenced

Neurodivergence is an evolutionary advantage?
! Moderator Note “Neurodivergent” is rather vague, since it’s not some binary condition (i.e. a number of ways to be atypical) and with a simplistic answer of “it depends on the environment” just like with any trait. Without a narrower definition to focus this, I don’t see that there’s much real discussion to be had

You’re confusing perception with reality No, I don’t think this is true. We don’t know what the conditions were, and chemical combinations are, in a sense, trial and error. Some events have low probability and rely on a large number of attempts. proton-proton fusion in the sun, for example, has a probability of somewhere around 10^16 10^-16 per collision - on average a proton would fuse once in a billion years. But there are a lot of protons, so we get fusion. Similarly an event that’s got a low probability of happening in a day in a 1L flask, is going to have that probability enhanced by the number of liters of water under the right conditions (10^15? 10^20?) and the number of days of the reaction (there being around 10^9 days in 300 million years) The math doesn’t agree with your unsupported assertion

2021 was anomalously high, but it's been >20 since 2019, which still lands it in the top 10 https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/maternal-mortality/2022/maternal-mortality-rates-2022.pdf

Principle of Causality and Inertial Frames of Reference
No, I don’t see how that follows, and given all the events observed at accelerator/collider labs, not having any evidence whatsoever of this continuum means this is pretty much already experimentally falsified You say the events differ and that they are the same. This might make sense to you, but not to me. You still haven’t explained how this is an issue of causality. An event happens. Causality only enters into the situation if you look at what caused the event, and you haven’t done that.

Unless we have lost knowledge, I don’t see how we have gotten farther from the goal. Being more complex than we thought means the goal is farther away than we thought, but we have not moved away from it. It took many millions of years and the whole earth was the laboratory, so is this really a surprise? It’s like complaining you aren’t world-class at something even though you’ve been practicing TEN WHOLE MINUTES!

True of pretty much anything we haven’t figured out. Or even stuff we did; humankind has been around for a few hundreds of thousands of years. What’s a decade, or a century, on that time scale?

Life (split from New studies on the brains of flys with an interesting animation)
This might seem profound but in fact is not. If you list everything we have figured out, there was a time for each one where we had not figured it out. So it really doesn't mean anything beyond it being a complicated issue.

What does light feel about its motion?
This doesn't work when you measure something cyclical, because it can be the same even though time has passed. In fact, lots of things can be the same even though time has passed. Even if you use radioactive decay; time passes and yet the nucleus can be the same. But this, and the rest, are not considering light "with respect to itself" as is asked in the OP. They are from the view of an observer, which is not traveling at c.
-
What does light feel about its motion?
Yes. It’s still EM radiation. We can answer questions based on observations from valid reference frames, i.e. ones an observer (with mass) can be in.
-
Is science useless if it doesn't aid people in procreating?
For those who do this. There are species that lay eggs and then take off.
-
What does light feel about its motion?
Why jiggling? (The sinusoidal depictions of E & M fields are the field strength, not their trajectory, if that’s what this is a reference to)
-
What does light feel about its motion?
It’s undefined. You can’t use the Lorentz transform to shift between an inertial frame and that of a photon, and back.
-
What does light feel about its motion?
Relativity doesn’t afford us the ability to say; light is not in an accessible frame of reference, so the transforms do not work.

Nuclear crisis – 2024
In addition to these points, we have no way of knowing what has been said privately, either directly or through proxies.We aren’t privy to some of the diplomatic pressures. Things said publicly are mostly for the masses. Putin’s saber-rattling is to prop him up with his own people and make people abroad worried, so they will influence their governments,
