What defines a “pandemic level”?

What is the evidence that makes you think it’s moving faster than c?

That sounds like “no” If you can’t describe the process, how can you analyze any “errors” that occur?

! Moderator Note What is the point of posting something you posted to another site, where apparently you go your question answered?

Can you describe how our thought process occurs at the quantum level?

! Moderator Note Which is locked, and you were told not to bring it up again.

! Moderator Note The rules forbid you from advertising your pet theory in other threads, and you were told specifically not to bring the topic up again.

! Moderator Note Why is this posted in politics? Where is your evidence to support the thesis? This follows an unfortunate pattern in your threads. It’s too bad, because you can discuss things you like (in the right section) such as “I really like recent sci-fi” without framing it in the form of an unsupported cherry-picked premise and a conclusion that simply begs the question. But we don’t like logical fallacies, as it makes for poor discussions. Do better.

! Moderator Note Your refusal to provide a model and evidence violates the forum rules. You are not to re-introduce this topic.

Insist all you want. It’s been done. You have to share the information here, not in some article elsewhere. Will you answer the questions I asked? Then show the double slit changing when different materials are used. Why do we get interference with red light, which does not have enough energy to cause the photoelectric effect? Why do we see interference with microwaves, which have much less energy?

Reminds me of the “I built this with no help” business-folk. You didn’t happen to work for Craig T Nelson, by chance ?

Ignorance of the law is no excuse (more so for a government official), but he showed he understood these things when he was giving speeches about locking Hillary up for her email server.

“a thermonuclear” is not a thing. It’s a description of a kind of reaction. “No thermonuclear will last” makes no sense. We have observed fusion reactions We have observed fusion reactions, where electrons are not participants. You are dismissing a wide swath of physics for which there is good evidence, and offer basically nothing of substance. What is sintez? One very large problem is that you are “explaining” things without having provided the requisite background, so there’s no point of reference for understanding your “accumulation points” You need to present the foundation before you build anything on top of it.

Which is an utterly meaningless point. Salary/wages are typically paid out after the work is completed. Why would it matter the employee is actually working when that happens? The employer owes the employee for a short time. (an interest-free loan) Leave, being part of your earned compensation, is no different. (xpost with iNow)

Let’s have these predictions, and details of how you make them. Otherwise you’re just blowing smoke.

I don’t think you’ve made your case that employers are less powerful than the employed, but I don’t see how your statement that “when the employee gets sick, the employer still has to pay them, even though he's getting nothing for his money.” depends on that notion. I have acknowledged that employees in the UK have stronger statutory support than in the US, where sick leave is not universal. Seems to me that this is more like insurance, where occasionally one could get benefits greater than the premium you’ve paid, but overall that’s not the case. Most workers work, and only take occasional sick leave, so they’ve already earned the time off by the time they take it. Is sick leave part of one’s compensation, or is it not?

Then how do you make specific predictions?

I realize things are different in various places, and in the UK there are stronger statutory safeguards for employees than in the US, but this sentiment is wrong. Sick leave is part of one's compensation. You earn a salary or wage, but you also earn time off. For example, I earn 4 hours of sick leave per pay period. When I take sick leave, it's not that my employer is getting nothing. In my case, my employer has already gotten the work that earned me that time off. Same with vacation. You can't decouple the leave from the money - both are part of your compensation.

No, I don't think so, but TFG seems to think so. Possession of them is the violation of the law(s), and by acknowledging that they were in cartons he's admitting that he knew they were there.

You're right that they would not normally do these thing, AFAK. But these steps were in response to legal filing from Trump's legal team. The DOJ did not do these things immediately, they were compelled to do them in response to formal challenges. That they help the DOJ is good, IMO.

They gave it up when they joined the site. From section 5 of the rules everyone agrees to: “By posting content on ScienceForums.net, you agree to grant ScienceForums.net usage rights to that content within the confines of the site, and other members the right to quote and respond to that content”

They’re releasing it in response to legal action, not because they want to diffuse anything. But with each step, we get a better picture of just how bad this is. And often do. If this egregious mishandling of classified documents involved some random federal employee (or former employee) they’d have been locked up already.

That was my immediate reaction, but the OP asks "My question is this. Do you know any equally interesting books / authors on medical, chemical or biological topics?"

You seem to be offering up ai as some sort of magical panacea, and, as Ghideon suggests, one that is part of science fiction rather than the real world. In our world, there are algorithms and spreadsheets and other computer-related tools, and these are already being used. Another disconnect is that somehow computer programming will not introduce or incorporate human bias, which it absolutely will, since humans are the ones doing the programming. Your "ideal way" depends on who is deciding on the ideal, which is very much a subjective criterion/criteria. All in all, this is far too nebulous of a proposal IMO. It's not much more than "can we use computers to do...stuff"
