  1. ! Moderator Note If you aren’t discussing Djokovic’s situation, you are off-topic for this thread
  2. To be fair, that wasn’t measured until well after the model was proposed, so “contradicted” might not be the best description. It took some time to be sure that unknown masses in the solar system weren’t responsible, and that this was truly an anomaly.
  3. Only one component can be determined. Whether you measure spin up or down (z), the x and y components are undetermined. Measurement of any two components does not commute
  4. Matterga banned as a sockpuppet of MarcoBarbieri
  5. I agree that 3 is wrong. QM actively contradicted classical physics, and relativity actively contradicted Galilean/Newtonian notions. It became apparent that these existing models were incomplete and/or had areas where they failed.
  6. I see no equations. You have no model. You don’t have a model, and haven’t presented enough to be able to point out more flaws than have already been identified. You don’t have a model. Copenhagen and many worlds are interpretations of QM, not QM itself.
  7. ! Moderator Note Yes, and no. Same poster, but unlike before details are being provided in the thread. (unsure why a new account was needed; the old one has been deactivated) Let’s focus on the discussion and not these trivialities
  8. When are you going to present a model of it? When do we get testable predictions?
  9. You’re referencing standard QM, so your own speculation is moot. Why would I have to read more? Which you haven’t modeled.
  10. AFAICT it means it will be able to observe stars that are 1/100 as bright
  11. Violation of conservation of energy is not part of “traditional theory” Photons don’t just disappear in QM If you don’t want feedback you shouldn’t have posted. Assuming you understand the point of a science discussion board.
  12. That would violate conservation of energy, so no, that’s not a possible result.
  13. That’s a tautology. If it ceases to exist as that quantum particle it’s no longer that quantum quantum particle. Hardly illuminating. Not with that phrasing.
  14. ! Moderator Note You misunderstand the lay of the land. This is a science discussion site. Mainstream science is taken as the default, as there are years and years of testing and evidence already available. Claims contrary to such science are what require “proof” ! Moderator Note This had better be the last time you offer up religion in a science thread. And you are wrong about this not being preaching.
  15. Thank you.
  16. That second link has the DM breaking the DNA strand, which is not what was posted. "When a dark matter particle enters the detector, it slices through any DNA strands in its path ... physicists can reconstruct the track of the dark matter particle through the machine." This suggests they think that a DM particle will break multiple strands. I wish they would have gone into detail as to why they think DM would interact in this fashion.
  17. Establish the truth of this statement. ! Moderator Note Newton died decades before Darwin was even born, so congratulations, you've demonstrated a lack of knowledge of the basics of time. Not going to let this trolling go on any further
  18. So how do you tell if the weight varied?
  19. Do you have a link?
  20. Rate of freefall doesn't depend on the mass.
  21. No, it should cool off. Energy is conserved. When disconnected, all of the absorbed photon energy goes into heating the panel. If the photons are generating electricity (at some efficiency, and all else is the same) this energy is not available to contribute to heating it. i.e. some of the thermal energy of the light is now doing work, so there is less thermal energy.
  22. ! Moderator Note This is your claim, so it's incumbent upon you to support it, rather than shifting the burden to others having to prove otherwise.
  23. Mass and energy-momentum both contribute to gravitation. If something has translational KE, the mass does not increase Mass and KE are separate contributions to the total energy; E2 = p2c2 +m2c4
