A Disproof of the Principle and Theory of Relativity
Clock signals between separated atomic clocks. You tell me - it’s your conjecture. According to your equations, the propagation time would vary, so a GPS clock being synchronized at one time of day would have a different delay than at another time. The system would have to account for this so that the GPS clocks could all show the same time. Is there any evidence that this is the case?

Homophobia, nature or nurture?
If you mean like the K-T impact, then no. Species go extinct all the time by evolving into a new species. Various species of Homo (e.g. Homo habilis, or H. neanderthalensis) are extinct, but there was no “event” that killed them off.

Chinese Nuclear Submarine Crew Poisoned By Hydrogen Sulphide
I don’t know in detail how Chinese submarines work, but I doubt the battery runs the main propulsion system. That requires a lot of power, and is likely run directly from a steam turbine. The battery might run a motor used in emergencies, when main propulsion is unavailable, capable of a few knots. If the primary propeller(s) became fouled, the emergency propulsion might be engaged, which likely has its own propeller. Different cultures place different emphasis on safety, and space is usually at a premium on a sub. And mistakes can be made. The US has safeguards and procedures put in place only after incidents revealed flaws, because sometimes they reveal flaws that don’t show up under normal ops, and are situations that you wouldn’t test for because it would be too dangerous to do so. e.g. There were significant changes made after the Thresher was lost in the 60s. https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2020/october/reflections-loss-thresher#:~:text=After the Thresher disaster%2C the,quick actuation in an emergency.

Chinese Nuclear Submarine Crew Poisoned By Hydrogen Sulphide
Batteries are a storage medium. The power comes from the reactor under normal operations. Batteries will supply a limited amount of power in case the reactor is scrammed. 2.6 MWh is not a lot of energy when considering a reactor that produces a full power of ~100 MW.

Proportionality Constant (Units)?
Who is “we”? Density is m/V if mass has units of kg, and volume is expressed in m^3, the units are kg/m^3. Or you could use grams/cm^3 No numbers. They aren’t necessary. This is a “you” problem. Stop blaming physicists.

The concept of Time
The radiation we detect dates from the recombination epoch, ~380,000 years after the big bang.

A Disproof of the Principle and Theory of Relativity
If there was an absolute velocity we should see a diurnal effect in clock signals, since at noon we would be traveling at a different absolute speed than at midnight. The effect should also show an even larger fluctuation over the course of the year, from the change in orbital velocity. Do you have evidence of this?

Proportionality Constant (Units)?
k has units. you just don’t know what they are. That’s not the same thing. Like when you see 2x = 5, you don’t know what x is until you solve the equation. It doesn’t magically become 5/2 only when you solve it. There’s no time dependence here.

Can the existence of the Graviton be discounted ?
A gravitational field contains energy. Energy is a source of gravity.

Could an AI output result in a spectacular Failure ?
The danger right now is people being too credulous and thinking that AI is actually intelligent and not some fancy predictive text algorithm.

What ratio of time is the ISS in sunlight?
The ISS is only about 400 km above the earth, which has a radius of about 6400 km.

Tyrannosaurus in the wetlands
A T. rex that was about 4 m tall, would be about 13 m long. The length of the tail factors into the torque, as well as the mass.

Proportionality Constant (Units)?
Inversion? Let’s say you have the equation 2x = 5 You can divide both sides by 2, and get x = 5/2 If you have F=-kx, you can divide both sides by x and get k = -F/x, or you can divide by k and get x = -F/k These are math rules that you seem to be having trouble with.

Consequences of raising salaries...

Consequences of raising salaries...
So the “big three” auto makers have settled, raising wages by 25% over the contract. “Ford, for example, said that the contract would make each vehicle the company produces around $900 more expensive.” https://www.thestreet.com/automotive/former-ford-ceo-has-a-blunt-warning-for-workers-following-the-conclusion-of-historic-auto-strikes But for an $18,000 car, that’s just a 5% bump over 4 years. Not really a big driver of inflation (Also, Toyota (non-unionized) is giving its workers raises, presumably to fight against unionization efforts and/or defections.)

Proportionality Constant (Units)?
F=-kx This is an equality What is on the left side is equal to what is on the right side. This applies (separately) to the magnitude, the direction, and the units If force is in Newtons (N) and x is in meters (m), the units for k will be N/m, because N/m * m gives you N. m, being in both the numerator and denominator, cancels, similar to what would happen if you were simplifying a fraction (e.g. 3/3 =1) This is not considered to be mysterious.

A Disproof of the Principle and Theory of Relativity
But when we do Sagnac experiments, the result is consistent with the earth rotation speed, not some absolute velocity, which doesn’t exist in relativity. We can look at interferometry results, and know that there is no effect from this alleged absolute velocity We can agree that the notion of an absolute frame was disproved. And the fact that we can and do synchronize clocks means there’s nothing wrong with the mainstream understanding.

A Disproof of the Principle and Theory of Relativity
You keep doing this - moving with respect to what? It’s a critical detail. Answer: with respect to the source. If the source and observer aren’t moving with respect to each other, it doesn’t take more time.

A Disproof of the Principle and Theory of Relativity
If we’re in an inertial system, since v=0 (the relative speed), the times will be the same.

A Disproof of the Principle and Theory of Relativity
Sagnac correction happens because the clocks are in an accelerated (rotating) coordinate system. SR applies to inertial systems.

my thoughts on newton
Kinetic energy depends on speed, not velocity. A force is applied but it does no work, hence the speed is constant.
