"Event separation " of objects
If the two events are outside of the other's light cone, then you can say that they have no interaction, when considering that event.

Ai to map, plan for and disperse climate refugees?
"a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster" (from whatever dictionary Google uses; emphasis added)

"Event separation " of objects
Again, there must a be a context to this - it might be meaningless under certain circumstances but not in general. No. No.

is it because of heat capacity?
It's the latent heat (as exchemist notes) combined with low humidity. If the humidity is high the water doesn't evaporate readily (you get significant condensation, which cancels the effect to some extent) In places in the US where you have low humidity, such as the southwest, they use evaporative cooling systems, aka "swamp coolers" https://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/heating-and-cooling/swamp-cooler.htm Not so useful in muggy areas

It might. It depends on the context of how the phrase is used.

Ai to map, plan for and disperse climate refugees?
! Moderator Note What? You had someone respond with requests for clarification, without which there really can't be a discussion. You don't explain what you think AI brings to the table, nor do you bring any focus to what the distinction is between AI and current computer programming. You need to do a better job of framing the question. What does this have to do with tracking and dispersing refugees?

coupling constants
It's also used in NMR to express the separation of lines in a spectrum owing to hydrogen. And the relative strengths of the fundamental interactions

coupling constants
What is the context of this question? i.e. what specific subject?

Potential mass strike action in the UK
But the topic was about a strike, not a labor shortage, and it's not about applicants not taking jobs because the pay is too low. Unemployed people are not the ones who go on strike, employed people do. They strike if e.g. wages are not rising quickly enough. (or benefits are being cut, or work conditions are deficient etc.)

Black Holes in Sci-fi
The "fi" in "sci-fi" means fiction, so not being a real (i.e. factual) story is a given
-
wormholes and warp drives
Black holes are one example of a singularity. Not all singularities are black holes. Optical singularities would likely have nothing to do with GR phenomena. The Laser Focus World link explains one kind of circular polarization optical singularity The waves interfere constructively in the bright outer zone, and destructively in the inner dark area, forming the central vortex where the amplitude is zero and the phase is thus undefined.

Tachyons
! Moderator Note No, but the question was about articles on tachyons, and a search engine should be the first option for that.

Classified Documents
And now we can possibly put into context the CIA noticing that informants were going missing.

Does the Market Always decide? An application for AI?
A bad business owner does not. (I thought this was obvious). Businesses fail all the time. An owner may decide that they are doing well enough, and including a product that e.g. has a lower profit margin would mean less income. They don’t want to take the risk. ”the market will decide” is an idealized view. It’s an aphorism. It’s sort of true, it’s useful as an approximation, but there are exceptions.

Does the Market Always decide? An application for AI?
At the store. On the company website. Twitter. Facebook. If the market decided this would be automatic. But if there are bad business owners, it means that the market does not decide.

Does the Market Always decide? An application for AI?
If there are no dresses with pockets being sold, they have no choice. The market has not fulfilled the demand

Time dilation (split from The speed of time)
A clock will read a later time, of course. What does that have to do with expansion?

The speed of time
But if this rate changes for everything, why does it matter? Everything that changes is referenced to that rate. And of it's static, it doesn't matter at all. Then it's tied to something that's not measurable. If you use an arbitrary rate, it will be some constant multiplicative of the rate we observe, which is just a constant of proportionality that gets lumped in with any other constants of proportionality. It's meaningless from a physical point of view.
-
The speed of time
I wasn't looking to refute anything (how does one refute a question?) I was trying to point out that we already know the answer is that time is not a constant. So if you are meaning something else, you need to rephrase the question. There is no theoretical or experimental evidence that this is the case. If there was some universal change in time and it affected everyone, how would we notice it? And if it was not universal, we should notice it. If the black hole decays so that there is no longer a black hole, there is no longer a singularity. (if there ever was one, since they are considered to be unphysical)
