A clock will read a later time, of course. What does that have to do with expansion?

Was that Shaq? I remember Barkley saying he wasn't a role model.

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.

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)

Which is why they would sunburn more quickly. There would be more UV. To be killed by the ionizing radiation, the exposure time would likely be measured in days or possibly weeks. Keep in mind the measures astronauts have to protect them are limited, and they can survive on the ISS for months, and do spacewalks. It's not like their suits are made of 10-cm thick lead.

It's a solid state device. There's no liquid or gas to leak.

You seem to be switching between expansion and inflation as if they are the same thing, and they aren't. They have measured time dilation owing to expansion by comparing the light curves of type Ia supernovas, and of quasars.

There may be issues with that when the ground freezes and you can't dig up lines that need attention. Plus, digging is expensive and as Peterkin notes, that's a big issue when long distances are in play

This reads like word salad, TBH. How does one measure what is the "best way forward"? Is there an objective measure of this? What is it?

As I pointed out before, time passes at different rates in different frames of reference, and this has been shown empirically. Regardless of whatever conjecture you might have, you need to start out from what we have already shown. I don't know what "undefined motion" means

This is a picture of a laser diode with the protective housing removed. The picture scale is less than 1 cm across. You can see tiny wires going to the laser and to its substrate - this puts the voltage across it and allows current to flow. These can break. There are also wires leading from the power supply to the laser assembly. These could possibly break, too

I use the latter, myself.

Apparently so; I’d not run across it until now. Same issue as for DVD/CD players, most likely. You might break a wire or mess up the lens positioning.

Not sure why that would kill them. They might get a sunburn after 5-10 minutes. Fatal radiation damage would likely take a while

The market does not decide, at least not completely. If it did, I would not see people complaining that dresses do not (in general) have pockets. The market does not decide when there are huge corporations that use their size and influence to stifle competition and keep innovation from the market. What is the connection to AI?

! Moderator Note Given the question in the other thread, I think this is well beyond that scope, and the questions are not directed at the OP, so I split this discussion off

I'm talking about the documents. Fingerprints could be on boxes from before anything was stored in them. I saw a report that Trump boxed some of the things up himself, so that's why his prints would be on them.

Yes, or issues relating to the rapid decompression. That's what killed the cosmonauts who died in space https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/only-three-people-have-died-in-space Probably not enough time if you asphyxiated. If you had an air supply but no protective suit, perhaps That's unlikely, seeing as blood would not be exposed to vacuum. It's in a container.

That's a non-starter. His fingerprints would be on them if he handled them for legitimate purposes in the course of his presidency or in packing them up. If the fingerprinting shows anything meaningful, it would be to point toward someone unauthorized to handle documents. The issue with TFG is not whether he handled the documents, it's with him having the documents after Jan 21, 2021, when he was no longer supposed to have them. That they were improperly kept from the government and improperly safeguarded.

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.
