  1. ! Moderator Note We need a summary of the argument. From rule 2.7: Videos and pictures should be accompanied by enough text to set the tone for the discussion Is the argument that you can have v>c solutions in the relativity equations, as long as some other term is imaginary or negative (that is normally positive and real)?
  2. A scientific argument would include references to peer-reviewed research
  3. Common knowledge is often wrong. There have been male hetero prostitutes for a long time. A scientific argument is what we want. Not incel propaganda.
  4. Paid for using a lawyer isn’t the issue here. Cohen was not convicted for being a lawyer. The issue is falsifying financial documents and not reporting the payments to the FEC. The Clinton payments were disclosed. Again, this information is readily available. Try and base your arguments on facts. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-2022-midterm-elections-business-elections-presidential-elections-5468774d18e8c46f81b55e9260b13e93 “on FEC forms, the Clinton campaign classified the spending as legal services.” (emphasis added) Trump did not disclose the payments, and falsified documents to cover it all up.
  5. Yes, you are imposing your own bias on the technical terminology The atypical case is not what it’s based on.
  6. I assumed you posted understanding the context of the discussion, rather than just naysaying what I said. I apologize for overestimating your effort at due diligence.
  7. It depends on the system in question. Does a pendulum swing through 360 degrees to complete a cycle? No. Does a piston? No. Nobody claimed otherwise. But if you are using angular frequency, that’s what the measure is defined to be.
  8. Then don’t object/respond to what I’m posting, because I’m not. To make a current loop, if it’s going to be 1.5 million km from the planet.
  9. The details are readily available, so pleading ignorance isn’t very persuasive.
  10. The context was a magnetic field on Mars. Moontanman’s linked paper that initiated this tangent (and that nobody else apparently read) was “How to create an artificial magnetosphere for Mars” 1.5 million km away. That would mean a superconducting wire loop more than 9 km in circumference
  11. DDOS is how I described it to other mods, but we need an admin to make changes
  12. What I read was that basing fraudulent documents on other fraudulent documents makes it a felony. But IANAL. And the payments were not disclosed, making it an election law violation. Cohen was convicted of federal campaign law violations, so I don’t think that latter part is in question edit: "intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission thereof." is the felony. The further crime presumably being election law violation The main difference being one was not reported and the other one was, but not properly described. So not really analogous, IMO I think the broader category is fixing it with lawyers, because you can bully people with lawsuits and pay to delay lawsuits brought against you. That would include NDAs. Works well with civil law. But, as Chris Hayes pointed out yesterday, this is criminal law, and the rules and tactics are different
  13. The computer should, even if the autofill doesn’t.
  14. which gets it to 30 C. Did you read the part about how Spitzer was placed in an orbit far from earth, owing to the heat load it would have from being nearby? That’s how they got the low temperature, which would not be the case for this magnetic field generator. You don’t have much area that faces only deep space, which is how they got the small sensor to be cool
  15. Physics is the study of the behavior (interactions and motion) of matter (fermions) and bosons.
  16. My browser remembers my login and password. I only have to log in on my phone, because I use it intermittently and the cookie expires. Popular browsers allow this. If you are on a personal device.
  17. That true for a conductor, via Faraday’s (and Lenz’s) laws. A purely classical effect.
  18. You invite other problems, since the orbital speeds will not be the same. Plus you need a bigger mirror, and there will be diffraction - light will get around the mirror.
  19. You are wasting our time by quoting a linguistic AI when trying to do science.
  20. Some of the energy. But the mirrors will heat up, and radiate into the shaded are.
  21. Depends on how it’s generated. Permanent magnets don’t but e.g. a current loop continuously does; there is dissipation - in that case resistive losses, or in maintaining the low temperatures of a superconductor. There are also radiative losses. Even permanent magnets would require energy to assemble a configuration and to maintain the physical structure. Sunlight, however, is warm. Out at Mars, the solar levels are almost 600W/m^2
  22. There can be state election law violation, and federal. The state prosecution might help the federal, and some facts are already out there from the Cohen conviction. There’s no legal question that some of the crimes were committed.
  23. How much power would be required for a planetary-size field?
  24. Not only do you not explain what an EoR is, you don’t explain what you do, and what the relationship would be.
