They don’t show the same odds, so there might be a way to do that anyway. But they don’t know the odds of who will be president. There’s no inherent knowledge here at all.

Im which case they don’t know what they’re talking about, they’re reacting to money being bet.

Depends on who generated them, which you don’t share. Who are “the people” referenced? Or what the numbers mean. None of those are odds as I’ve seen them presented.

We know time depends on your motion relative to another observer, and on your gravitational potential

The mouse is likely using just a plain LED. The CD/DVD uses a laser diode, so similar solid-state technology, but with cleaved surfaces to act as mirrors to make the optical cavity. It’s a solid, so there’s nothing that’s going to leak. The diodes themselves are pretty shock resistant, but there’s wiring that could break, or the laser alignment could shift.

We don’t need to do that exact experiment to confirm the effect. Doing the experiment at the same gravitational potential also eliminates it.

Pretty lame argument. I think the context of there being an invasion, and that Russian invaders are being killed, is something that doesn’t need to be stated

! Moderator Note IOW, have nothing scientific here, and you wasted my time promising that you did.

I should point out that forced adoption of children taken in occupation, which Russia has done, IS an example of genocide. See article 6(e) https://www.icc-cpi.int/sites/default/files/RS-Eng.pdf

And that prediction is? Particles have properties and interactions. What are these properties and interactions? (you should be volunteering your predictions and tests. We shouldn't have to draw it out of you)

Killing invading soldiers in time of war is not genocide.

Yes, I always take my kid with me when I perform an international assassination, because they're such an asset for making a quick getaway.

That makes sense. You want the water to drain, and take the dust with it, for rain and possibly the occasional cleaning in the absence of rain. Of course, if it's not near the equator and it's angled in the orthogonal direction, then you don't need to do this.

Reminds me of this joke: When I die, I want to go like my grandmother: peacefully, in my sleep. Not shrieking in terror, like the passengers in her car.

Where is the site where that picture was taken? I've not seen that configuration, and am interested to know the latitude and orientation

Do you see the contradiction here? "Cannot be completed" and then a citation of an experiment where it was completed? i.e. the separate gravitational and kinematic effects on the clocks allows one to show that the kinematic effect is real, since the gravitational effect can be separately confirmed (e.g. the Pound-Rebka experiment) Further, the kinematic effect was confirmed where there was no difference in the gravitational time dilation (and there was a separate experiment where the gravitational time dilation was measured) https://www.nist.gov/publications/relativity-and-optical-clocks direct link to a pdf of the paper https://tsapps.nist.gov/publication/get_pdf.cfm?pub_id=905055 "Here we report the detection of relativistic time dilation due to velocities of several meters per second and, separately, due to a change in height of 0.33 m by comparing two optical clocks based on 27Al+ ions."

! Moderator Note Which, AFAICT, has absolutely nothing to do with the war.

If you fire many electrons you will see the interference pattern. The pattern goes away if you can determine that an electron went through a particular slit, but that's not the case simply because a different person observes the screen.

The radiation is likely stronger than background at the frequency being used, but when one looks at a broader spectrum, the total background will be higher.

You do realize that “speculation” as used on SFN means you have some kind of evidence. It’s not a WAG, and the plural of anecdote is not evidence. What you have is a narrative, and are cherry-picking information to support it. Your story, for example, suggests that the children were not supervised, which is a funding issue, if you don’t have the staff to do this. It’s not an inherent discipline problem. And how, pray tell, does having an online teacher solve the issue of students running off?

If they are tilted along an axis of latitude, which is what is typical, this is still the case. (I’m ignoring any effect from being raised off the ground, which has minimal impact)

! Moderator Note Some recent posts were moved to the political jokes thread

“in my area teachers make a decent wage” is something you asserted as fact. (BTW, I was able to easily find that where I went to school the 2019 entry salary was about $46k, median is ~$70k and salaries top out at ~$100k. This ranks them in the upper third in the state. They report new union contracts in the local paper) I agree that salary is only one component of hiring and retaining teachers, but an important one. Teaching online doesn’t solve the issue of being underpaid. What is your evidence that the lack of “methods to control the classroom” is the missing component? I don’t recall this being an issue when & where I was in school. What is different?
