I think the USA has abdicated that role in spirit and are on the way to losing it economically and scientifically. It will be tough to regain that position. We’re taking great strides in making sure it never happens again, or at least for a generation.

Just revisited this thread on another matter and yes, it’s obvious that I misread/misinterpreted something. My apologies.

That (plagiarism) is also against the rules. But 2.13 says “Since LLMs do not generally check for veracity, AI content can only be discussed in Speculations. It can’t be used to support an argument in discussions.” so if breaking the rules is a problem, using AI content is a problem.

Moderator NoteRule 2.13 forbids using AI material to support arguments. IOW, don’t give us the AI summary from your search.

There’s a reason for that. (left as an exercise for the reader) But some signs in the Bible could not, such as Joshua 10:13 “the sun stood still, and the moon stopped” Again, left as an exercise.

Time isn’t matter, or a particle. Is there an antilength, that cancels out length?

We have books. We’re aware of the Greek and Roman gods. Gods from Mesopotamia, even.

Testicles of the same spin can’t exist in the same scrotum, unless they are in different orbital angular momentum states (which is painful)

OTOH the AI crawlers will now have to incorporate it and provide it as a possible answer to some question.

What does this even mean? “Can’t” doesn’t enter into it for an omnipotent diety. (with God all things are possible/with God nothing shall be impossible/the Lord God omnipotent reigneth) “Science and humanity” isn’t part of the discussion. Stop trying to change the subject Population isn’t declining. Musk is a white supremacist complaining about white population. I will not use a Nazi as a model If there’s novbody around to do science, there’s nobody doing science. Of what relevance is this?

You asked a similar question some years ago https://scienceforums.net/topic/120883-somethings-wrong-with-the-way-we-calculate-mass/ The analysis and answer given there still applies

I want people to expend the tiniest effort to post things in the appropriate forum, but like Sisyphus I’m cursed to roll them into the right forum only to have new ones appear in inappropriate ones. Moved to physics. Why do you think they would melt? How can there be one at the center? The universe has no center. Why do they have to be balls? Is the ability to move around important to the problem?

In what way is this a “brain teaser” or puzzle?

It’s bookkeeping. Energy is conserved, so work being done means the energy has to come from some source, and go somewhere else. The sign is telling you whether energy was deposited in the system (+), or spent by the system (-)

I think our view of omnipotent is quite straightforward, and if a deity is not, it should not be advertised as such. It’s one of those topics that people debate; some conclude there is no deity and others don’t think about it too much because of the implications. (like it’s a choice rather than a limitation of power) What does this have to do with omnipotence? Are you simply incapable of sticking to a topic, and restraining yourself from proselytizing?

Moderator NoteAs you were informed in the other thread, we’re done discussing this theorem or anything connected with it.

Perhaps counterintuitively, the gravitational acceleration at the event horizon can be small r = 2GM/c^2 g = GM/r^2 (Newtonian) so g = c^4/4GM If the mass is really big, g can be quite small.

It has gravity, so it’s much the same as how we can determine the mass of a normal star - it causes an acceleration of ~GM/r^2 and anything in orbit is subject to that.

Apparently not Math is a tool of science. An hypothesis that leads to logical contradictions will never make it to being a theory; the evidence won’t match up with the model. But the situation here is that the logic is flawed. As with your conjecture, you are proceeding via faulty path, starting with a flawed premise.

That must be it. /s I said nothing to the contrary. The final arbiter of science is experiment/observation. The only way to disprove a theory is to show that it doesn't match with experiment. Any argument about reason boils down to argument from incredulity (as I previously said) but science is under no obligation to give you a warm fuzzy feeling, or be understandable.

I thought God was the ultimate off switch. Or is she not omnipotent?

You’re so close to getting it! You are pretending to. I’m not sure who “we” refers to. Science uses more than logic/reason, and reason doesn’t have the final say.

And yet one can make statements, such as the paradox I mentioned A rut? Since 1925? AYFKM? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_quantum_mechanics I’m not sure why I have to. I think the connection to QM is manufactured, since physics worked prior to reason and rational thought. There can’t be a causal connection as cause must happen before. Right? The bottom line is that QM actually works. Any argument that says it doesn’t violates reason.

X-rays are pink, signal from normal matter in blue, just like it says Nobody said that’s what’s shown Seeing as you’re in simple denial mode regarding mainstream science and have nothing to offer that meets the requirements of speculations, there’s no point in continuing
