  1. An IR source and a sensor. The IR source emits light. The sensor detects reflected light that returns to it. The beam expands, so there is less light as the distance increases, which means it won’t work if you are too far away. You can’t see through people, so no, light does not easily pass through our body.
  2. Not when it’s happening with identical particles. You can’t tell two electrons apart.
  3. Quantum computing is not synonymous with entanglement. Where in discussion of the alleged entanlement “signaling” is it described as a single qubit? (not by you; you seem to only cite your own claim. I mean someone with credibility in the matter) Then your explanation of identifying particle states in connection with entanglement is awkward. If particles that had determined states become entangled, you can’t tell which particle is which afterward, so you can’t tell if particles states have been reversed.
  4. I would recommend finding the papers on how the proton’s or antiproton’s magnetic moment was measured. (a proton being a “hydrogen-like” ion) Then you won’t have to imagine. There are no 2s or 2p states if it’s ionized.
  5. “While the mass requirements needed for such modifications are still enormous at present, our work suggests a method of constructing such objects based on fully understood laws of physics.” And they don’t really tell you how to do this.
  6. My understanding is that sterile neutrinos as a DM candidate would be much more massive than the known neutrinos.
  7. I doubt she has an answer to give you.
  8. No, we can’t, because it will take energy to keep the superconductor cold. Heat will flow in from the ambient surroundings. It stops moving is the key. And it took energy to get the objects to the starting point. There is no net energy to harvest. So you admit this won’t work. Why would you expect anyone to advocate for it?
  9. If they were massless, this would be moot. With a mass of less than an eV, non-relativistic is pretty slow. How do they slow down?
  10. So you have an alleged power source (although you don’t*) in deep space, far away from any star. What good is that? *”harvesting” energy like this violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics
  11. How would they be trapped? You’d need a black hole, or a neutron star very close to the BH limit, to trap them gravitationally.
  12. Yes, you have frequently avoided answering the question. Where did you find this “official” description? All entanglement is based on not knowing the states of the individual particles. “original state of a particle” makes no sense for an entangled particle. You can’t describe them in terms of individual states.
  13. But if it’s based on warping spacetime, you still need to establish how you do this.
  14. The heat capacity, or specific heat capacity the amount of heat a material must absorb (per unit mass) to raise its temperature by 1K (assuming we’re using SI units) If your interest is the volume of material, modify the specific heat capacity by multiplying by the density
  15. The cat is clearly a Jedi knight, and those are also not the droids you’re looking for.
  16. You have to show the feasibility of warp drive. You’ve skipped that part.
  17. It can be that there is a common cause for two bits of data that results in correlation. But correlation may just be a statistical fluke, with no cause. Thus not an effect.
  18. ! Moderator Note You should have only one topic per thread.
  19. No, the best you can say is if there is a signal, it’s superluminal. But you haven’t identified the signal. Since the states are undetermined, this is moot Teleportation destroys the knowledge of the state of the source particle; it’s not a copy, since that would violate the “no-cloning” theorem
  20. I was thinking it was further back, but then 2019 was about ten years ago… Saw the notification today. Yesterday was a lost day; I got flu and COVID booster shots on Tuesday. Completely wiped me out.
  21. As I understand it, the domain name can only be renewed by the owner if the domain name. The mods can’t do anything about it.
  22. This has happened before, some years ago.
  23. No, it’s that the particles are in undetermined states. There is no “swap” Since there is a correlation of states, all of the information about the states is revealed once you make a single measurement.
  24. Does the distance really exist, or is it a measurement we use to explain movement?
  25. Because you aren’t blocking the sensor.
