  1. I'd like to know how a US president vetoes projects occurring outside of its borders. Biden dropped support for the Israel pipeline, as there were concerns about environmental impact and economic feasibility, but that doesn't stop it from happening. The only Canadian pipeline that pops up in a search is Keystone, which was for tar sands oil, and it went south, not east. So it was in the US, which is why it was under US jurisdiction.
  2. It’s not, but Pauli prevents particles from being in the same state. Neutrons and protons obey it. What? It’s definitely present in atoms, which is kinda what defines the atomic length scale
  3. ! Moderator Note Post your own ideas in your threads, not someone else’s.
  4. ! Moderator Note “alternative” theories should be posted in speculations and include a model and/or evidence
  5. strontium has been banned as a sockpuppet of Ragingmoron. This was not in evasion of a ban.
  6. ! Moderator Note Moved to trash, being as it's so far off the reservation as to be unrecoverable
  7. Also burn is possibly a colloquialism for "use up" Use up the fuel, so they can abandon the vehicle without it being an obvious dereliction of duty
  8. Surely you can provide citations for this. How, exactly, did Russia "set up Ukraine as a country"? I thought that Ukraine seceded from the Soviet Union, along with Russia and Belarus.
  9. These seem to be happening quite a bit lately. As Inigo might say to those attaching that moniker, "I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means"
  10. You're going to have to be more explicit here in step 2. Gold and silver differ by 32 protons (Z=47 vs 79). One electron isn't going to do this. If you remove it, you have a silver ion. If you force it to combine with a proton and turn it into a neutron (and emit a neutrino) you will have palladium.
  11. What course was that? This sounds a lot like "She was just asking for it, dressed like that"
  12. ! Moderator Note Posts discussing cosmology in general have been split https://www.scienceforums.net/topic/126746-gr-and-cosmology-split-from-…a-shrinking-matter-theory-that-might-actually-work/
  13. ! Moderator Note If you want to focus on the concepts of tradeoffs that would be fine, but it looks like you want to discuss details, and our emphasis has always been one topic per thread. So if the latter is the case, you should have a thread for each technology.
  14. Slaves were property and not people. Reprehensible, yes, but in a legal view it meant the problem of rights was a non-issue. It's used all the time, in a lot of places. Color your opponent as vermin or insects, or anything other than human, in order to justify not treating them as people. That gives you leave to expel or exterminate them.
  15. The bit I brought up about identical particles, and what Markus brought up about scaling of the interactions you didn't address. Both contradict your claims, and both have experimental evidence to support them Not good enough. The Pauli exclusion principle is predicated on identical particles, not "only tiny differences" If you are predicting differences between these particles, then they are not identical, and you are wrong. hey don't have an identifiable velocity, since they don't have identifiable trajectories. That's a classical notion, and not consistent with QM. No, not really, I don't see any kind of clear explanation of what the equality principle is.
  16. ! Moderator Note It's mainstream physics and taken as true for purposes of discussion. This is not your thread, which is for discussion of caracal's proposal (even though it has been falsified), not yours or anyone else's
  17. "can I assume you are looking for chemical reference standards ?" ! Moderator Note They are posting from the same computer, so this was a setup. So, thread closed and both accounts banned according to our rule on sockpuppets.
  18. ! Moderator Note Which is not the terminology used by the OP. Cain and Abel was a dead giveaway.
  19. ! Moderator Note You should probably start with a more basic study of evolution to remove your misconceptions
  20. ! Moderator Note Adam and Eve are from the Bible, which has no relevance to a discussion of genetics ! Moderator Note You will need to establish that such genes exist.
  21. How does Quantum Field Theory apply?
  22. It would be that nobody challenged. SCOTUS (and the court system in general) can only rule on a case brought before them. The first SC case about abortion was in 1971 and Roe v Wade was 1973, so it was not about the SC reinterpreting anything. https://www.aclu.org/other/timeline-important-reproductive-freedom-cases-decided-supreme-court
  23. I agree it should be The protons on earth all came from somewhere else. Electrons, too. Does it stand to reason that according to your conjecture, all protons and all electrons would all have slightly different masses, depending on their history? But we know that they don’t - protons are identical, and electrons are identical. And we know that’s the case, because the Pauli exclusion principle only works for identical fermions. If these particles weren’t identical, we wouldn’t have atoms as we know them. But we do.
