Image formation in plane mirrors
Incorrectly stated. See below. Mirrors invert front to back. When you look at the ambulance in the mirror, you are looking forward. To look at the ambulance itself, you must rotate 180 degrees to see it. It’s the rotation that causes the left-right inversion. Not the mirror. I did a youtube video of this on my blog back in the day but Google is so messed up these days I don’t know if I can find it. edit searching the blog itself was much more productive http://blogs.scienceforums.net/swansont/archives/13984 Also the previous post, in that link

The Antimatter Universe Hypothesis: Black Holes as Gateways to Inverted Realities
All of these things need to be quantified. You need math.

Why we observe only retarded gravitational waves, not advanced?
LY is not a unit of age. The size of the observable universe being larger than 15 LY is not an issue of advanced waves.

Can you measure temperature without a comparison? Absolute vs gauge doesn’t matter in this context.

The Antimatter Universe Hypothesis: Black Holes as Gateways to Inverted Realities
If this were an actual scientific hypothesis, these would be things you already know.

Voltage is always measured with respect to something. It’s a potential difference. So you have not provided enough information to answer the question.

Is this the same person?
There are also stories about the person who eventually thwarted the shooter. The reports are that the fake stories cropped up, fueled by AI/bots and spread on dodgy news sites and places that amplify such disinformation via their algorithms (X/Twitter and Facebook, to name two). Such bots do appear on Bluesky, but there’s no algorithm to amplify the slop. One of the effects here is to make all information untrustworthy. Stick with sources that actually do fact-checking and take the other stuff with a huge grain of salt.

You won the lottery on June 11... [finances]
That’s the filing deadline, but if you owe them too much you have to pay a penalty. In the US, to be some extent, taxes have to be paid as you go. It’s why there’s withholding on each paycheck, with the goal of owing nothing when the year ends. If you owe more than $1k (and some other caveats apply) then you owe a penalty. I doubt it. There are loopholes, and more for the rich, but I suspect this isn’t one. Unless the LLC already existed when you won I suspect it would not save you. Switching citizenship won’t work, either; taxes are paid according to residence. When I did my postdoc in Canada, I paid Canadian taxes. (and if I made enough the US would have taken a bite, too). Plus doing the switch after the fact wouldn’t save you, and being citizen part of the year would probably make you have dual tax liabilities. How do you get 10 months from winning in June? The tax year for most people is the normal calendar year.

The Antimatter Universe Hypothesis: Black Holes as Gateways to Inverted Realities
The science is in the details. What qualifies as an “unusual” gamma emission? How do you detect Hawking radiation and what constitutes “unusual” for it? What are the predicted anomalies in the CMB or gravitational waves? Without an actual model, what you have is a narrative.

Cool new discovery
Poe’s law applies. IOW, with the state of AI slop, you can’t be sure anymore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

What is the legal significance of evidence provided by AI ?
They’re mapping my house or apartment and sending the data somewhere? Evidence? That was addressed a few posts back. You're missing the point. It’s sending private information, that isn’t necessary for the operation of the device. People aren’t upset that you’re syncing data that you told it to. Or that Alexa is listening, it’s that someone else is.

Moderator NoteScience News implies an article somewhere, which should be linked to. Such a link would show us where this quote came from.

What is the legal significance of evidence provided by AI ?
How long until robot vacuum companies get sued for collecting data, and phoning home without consent? https://www.zmescience.com/science/smart-vacuum-companies-are-monetizing-maps-of-your-house/ “Those cute little robot vacuums buzzing through your home may be doing a lot more than dusting the floor. They could be learning details about your house and making money off of that.”

Theory of everything
Moderator NoteThen it seems clear that this does not qualify for discussion here. As you were told:
-
Insight or just coincidence?
Even when you know the sources of error and quantify them, you don’t know if it’s + or -, so it can’t be subtracted out.
-
Physical, conformal age of the universe
Yes

Can you see suicide as an act of courage?
You should see/talk to someone who knows what they are doing; there are professionals who deal with this and “tips about being happy” is a rather simplistic (and wrong) summary of what mental health professionals do. By phrasing it this way you are soliciting medical advice, and nobody here is qualified to dispense it.

Physical, conformal age of the universe
Recombination/ionization is not a thermal effect; the photons emitted would have a thermal variation reflecting the temperature of the (primarily) hydrogen at that time. But the energy levels do not have a thermal distribution. The nominal ionization energy is still 13.6 eV. That would “reset” any thermal distribution you might have beforehand.

Ratios involve quantities that have units, which is where the uncertainty arises.

Theory of everything
This is a science discussion site, though, not a platform for discussing the merits of patentability. We require the mathematical model you claim exists, and evidence that supports the idea.

How does time differ from the measurement of any other quantity in science that has SI units?

Physical, conformal age of the universe
Which you should be able to show mathematically. The next question is the limits on the integral. You imply it starts at t=0 (or it could be something quite small, like 10^-43 s) but the CMB didn’t exist until later. How do you reconcile this?
-
Physical, conformal age of the universe
I will rephrase. You don’t show it in your integral. Will you do so? This is a discussion forum. Being coy seems to be the opposite of discussion.
