  1. ! Moderator Note After staff discussion, we have decided to give you one more chance to post your “theory” It must be posted in speculations and conform to the rules. Meaning you need to make sure your post is complete enough to contain a model and/or make predictions and be falsifiable, and provide supporting evidence.
  2. I’m not sure impossible is disqualifying as a philosophy question.
  3. Is the mass varying with position in the first example? If it is, then momentum is not conserved for the object, and we can confirm this with Newton’s laws of motion. There must be an external force on it. Is the mass varying with time in the second example? If it is, mechanics or relativity tells us that its energy isn’t conserved. There must be some interaction (e.g. work is done) to account for this. You wouldn’t be applying symmetry to these problems if mass were varying, as their Lagrangians are not constant, i.e. not symmetric under the relevant translation.
  4. ! Moderator Note You were unwilling or unable to discuss you “theory” with anything approaching scientific rigor, we’ve gone several rounds on this with no evidence being provided by you, and you were told not to bring it up again.
  5. But when one puts a physics context on it, those familiar with physics understand what is meant, and it’s not the nothing described in the OP.
  6. I think you need to ignore physics, because if you account for it, the concept of “nothing” goes away.
  7. There’s no way to test an hypothesis of their origin (as exchemist say, there’s no observation to be made) and no way to model it. Models require rules.
  8. Right after that is the conclusion “Receipt of vaccination with either an mRNA or adenoviral vector vaccine was not associated with a worsening of Long Covid symptoms, quality of life, or mental wellbeing. Individuals with prolonged COVID-19 symptoms should receive vaccinations as suggested by national guidance.” which is a weaker statement. Probably because there were just 44 vaccinated participants, meaning the sampling error is ~15%, and the results showing improvement are within the error bars. Also, from the introduction: “there are no published studies on the impact on symptoms in patients with Long Covid. Anecdotal reports have suggested both a potential benefit and worsening of symptoms post vaccination with the uncertainty leading to some vaccine hesitancy amongst affected individuals.”
  9. If nobody posted links until I asked, I didn’t miss them, and all of the links have been to surveys reporting anecdotes. They are not scientific studies, for the reason I have already given. If you would actually read what I wrote, you’ll see I said much less likely. So I am NOT telling you that it would be eliminated if all people are vaccinated. Less incidence of the virus would mean less of an opportunity to mutate. More vaccinated people means less incidence of the virus. So far you’ve provided zero links to scientific studies
  10. A) a variable speed of light most certainly contradicts a constant speed of light. B) c^2 = -phi is speculation, and the rules preclude building further speculation on it. You may defend the claim by providing evidence for it, or try and disprove it, but that’s it. It’s not evidence of any mainstream idea being wrong.
  11. Like I said, there is a thread where that comes up. I just moved it from biology to here in medical science. https://www.scienceforums.net/topic/125292-pfizer-vaccine-long-term-side-effects/
  12. Yes. It should be "all of the long-lasting symptoms" (and I think the conversation doesn't include erectile disfunction, which I've seen mentioned as a long-term symptom)
  13. This was brought up (rather haphazardly) in another thread. Also brought up, in a different thread, was all if the long-lasting symptoms from getting the disease even if it's not fatal to you.
  14. I don't think there's very much physics in it. Nothing isn't a thing, so this is more like (the western view of) a Zen koan, like "What is the sound of one hand clapping" which (AFAIK) doesn't have an answer. Perhaps a more practical approach is if the box has a hole contained within it, obviously that hole moves with the box, because the material that defines the hole moves. In that sense, the notion of a "nothing" requires "something" in order to define it. But the issue of whether it's the same nothing, the question is "how could you confirm this, one way or the other?" If you can't tell different nothings apart, then there's no way to know for sure.

    That's a good point. And those symptoms were included on the Norwegian study, along with others that might not warrant a claim.
  16. The conserved quantities are certain properties of particles or systems - such as linear and angular momentum, and energy. Not spacetime. (also, mass is not a conserved quantity. This is the invariant mass, not the so-called relativistic mass, which is a proxy for energy) The symmetries involve whatever spacetime symmetry you are looking at - translation in space (momentum), translation in time (energy) and rotation (angular momentum).
  17. As that says, it's anecdotal, and so the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy cannot be ruled out
  18. Why does it need to be? Photons disagree with you. Neither mass nor velocity would change under a spatial translation
  19. swansont replied to swansont's topic in Medical Science
    Right. They will tend to be skewed to the higher end of the age profile.
  20. Because it matters in terms of impact to people. If we're all vaccinated evolving a resistant strain is much less likely. It's happening because people aren't vaccinated, and are not following (or being required to follow) the protocols to stop the spread. What do you base this on? I missed any link to studies showing that the vaccine eliminates issues of long COVID.
  21. Which vaccine(s)? What rate are people getting hospitalized or dying?
  22. swansont replied to swansont's topic in Medical Science
    Which doesn’t make your mistaken claim about the study any more correct. Which is a different study, with a different data collection methodology To perform this analysis, FAIR Health drew on longitudinal data from its database of over 34 billion private healthcare claim records from 2002 to the present. IOW, if you didn’t file a claim, you aren’t included, even if you had COVID. Meanwhile, in the other study, Household members of patients who tested positive were included to ensure completeness of the cohort, and their infection was diagnosed by SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies at 2 months IOW, they went and found people who had COVID, which would include asymptomatic people. So, the insurance company would not include people who couldn’t establish they had had COVID, and possibly others, which would undercount the number of people with long-term symptoms, making the ~25% number a lower bound.
  23. No, they can't. That's not how entanglement works. Feel free to look at the many threads we have on the topic, and if you have unanswered questions, start a thread to ask them. What does our experience match up with this? How much data do we have that's survived 500 years? How many species survive as long as 50 million years? That's another topic that's come up for discussion. Is this possible? How soon could an advanced technology emerge after the big bang? (again, feel free to consult other threads and open up a new one if necessary)
  24. If this is a beam in a particle accelerator, it will have traveled upwards of 750 million km in the roughly 2.5 seconds it takes to drop 30m Not happening in any accelerator around here. Also, the Larmor formula says that the radiated energy in a 1g field is around 10^-50 joules in this period of time (just a rough calculation)
  25. If you go to https://theconversation.com/concerned-about-the-latest-astrazeneca-news-these-3-graphics-help-you-make-sense-of-the-risk-162175 and scroll down about 2/3 of the way, you will find the exact cite given in the article. It's the 2019 version of the links you've shown. If it is not specific enough it's not iNow's fault. Blame the author of the article. (all I did was add "TTS blood clot" to the search to find the article)
