Presumably one could correlate the energy density with a temperature and see when this could have happened. But if you’re forming chortons with this energy, shouldn’t the temperature rapidly drop, since that energy is no longer available to whatever field is creating the chortons? If they were created right after the Big Bang, there are a finite number of them. How does gravity get rearranged under that scenario? The gravity in some region of space will change as galaxies coalesced and stars formed

Moderator NoteThat’s contrary to how this site operates. This is a discussion forum, and the rules say material for discussion must be posted here. So your focus should be distilling the issue to the point where people can understand the situation and the implications of inaction. Much like with many other issues.

You’ve not answered where these conditions exist. Under what circumstances do we have 10^115 J/m^3?

Then show how your conjecture conserves energy and give us testable predictions that it makes. Evidence that supports it. Last chance.

So the length of travel from earth to the moon, or some distant galaxy, is made of matter? No by any definition matter I’m familiar with. What particles comprise an electric field? Sort of true. (any moving charge gives you a magnetic field) But there is a field in regions where there are no charges. Which means that the other stuff isn’t necessary, and possibly modifies the effect in question. But it doesn’t matter what philosophy you adopt; nature behaves the way it does regardless of that.

These can, and should, be quantified, because otherwise this is just trying to sell us a monorail. Fracking is pressurizing with liquids, which is a different proposition. Especially considering that you are doing the opposite of trying to make a sealed environment.

And what prevents them from being detected? Also, saying nobody has proposed some explanation discounts the likely scenario where it was thought of and almost immediately discarded because it was flawed, so it never got exposure.

There may be a time or post limit on that. The details seem to change whenever the board software gets updated.

Sling and slingshot are distinct weapons. David used a sling in the story (at least the version I read)

Not sure what the alleged connection is.

The foxhole aphorism is about sudden conversion. But to be forsaken, there needs to be a prior relationship.

You said this energy density creates chortons from photons, so you must already have photons.

10^113 J/m^3 Where in the universe do you see energy densities this high? No. Material for discussion must be posted here. You haven’t read my modnotes, or the rules?

Cats Confuse Reasoning LLM: Query Agnostic Adversarial Triggers for Reasoning Modelshttps://arxiv.org/html/2503.01781v1 “We investigate the robustness of reasoning models trained for step-by-step problem solving by introducing query-agnostic adversarial triggers – short, irrelevant text that, when appended to math problems, systematically mislead models to output incorrect answers without altering the problem’s semantics. … For example, appending, Interesting fact: cats sleep most of their lives, to any math problem leads to more than doubling the chances of a model getting the answer wrong. Our findings highlight critical vulnerabilities in reasoning models” LOL Reminds of when I was teaching, that the weaker students would try to incorporate irrelevant information into their solutions in physics problems - if you gave some bit of information that wasn’t necessary (the diameter of something, where the solution didn’t depend on the size) they’d force the solution to somehow include it.

You have to address all current issues. I asked about the energy density, specific predictions and falsifiability.

I wasn’t aware that people lived for extended times in fracking holes, or even the Greenland AFB, hermetically isolated and completely self-sufficient. (does an ancient city count in any way as a paraterraforming effort?) We tried one of these years ago - Biosphere II - and it was a failure. You’re ignoring the hurdles this presents. You can’t talk about space tourism, etc. until the technical problems are solved.

Well, yes. Because "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” is totally what you say if you don’t believe. They would almost have to, wouldn’t they? He couldn’t believe in things that hadn’t happened yet.

What Phi said. Notification of absence would be at best a courtesy, not an obligation, and in the grand scheme of things, a low-priority one. It’s also potentially a security risk to announce on a public site that you’re going to be e.g. traveling.

We haven’t demonstrated the ability to do that on earth. What’s the reasoning for thinking it would work on Mars?

What are some specific predictions thatcthis model makes, and how is it testable/falsifiable? What is this critical volume, and what is the value of the energy density? If the chortons are stationary, how does gravity exist elsewhere? And how do fluctuations in gravity propagate (e.g. gravitational waves)

No, you can’t post a link. The relevant part of rule says “members should be able to participate in the discussion without clicking any links” and “material for discussion must be posted” This isn’t the place for discussing an 80-page paper.

Moderator NoteAs has been explained before, discussion must take place here. Making a thread just to post a link elsewhere is against the rules.

Putting this in speculations (as it’s not science news) while we await clarification.

She’s good friends with OTTO. And wow, her mom likes to TOOT.

That’s not the argument (or the only one), and I don’t see how one vote in 170 years is an endorsement of your plan. Governments make a lot more decisions than that.
