Segregation in sports (Split from Transgender athletes)
Which, ridiculous as this is*, only happens if there are co-ed teams. Can you provide evidence of there being many of these in the good old days? *if this is what motivates you, you deserve to lose, and possibly get cut from the team. It doesn’t require legislation.

Does Distance Decrease between you and an object as your elevation increases?
OK, but that didn’t happen here. They asked if something was true, and if so, how big the effect would be. Did you misread the OP?

What is "i"?
As you’ve been reminded, sending people to another site in place of discussion isn’t in keeping with the rules. You can never assume anyone has done so. None of that suggests it’s composite That’s not really an answer, and those curves don’t look like inverse-square functions Magic! Then how can your conjecture be falsified?

Segregation in sports (Split from Transgender athletes)
No. Where did you get that information? WTH is “distracted by their opponent?” The problem wasn’t that sports weren’t segregated, it’s that there were only (or mostly) opportunities for boys In the US this was addressed by title IX, driven by this lack of opportunity No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. Nothing about tests of athletic skill, or “distraction” nonsense, seeing as it encompasses more than sports. We didn’t sex-segregate classrooms. “distraction” didn’t enter into it.

I’m not sure I’d include “berating someone for not knowing something” in that assessment.

Did this happen? (Hint:Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. is a US company, now headquartered in Plano, TX I lived in Canada for a few years and had trouble getting an auto bought in the US getting warranty service because the US company and Canadian company were different entities)

What is "i"?
You could have led with this description Is there any evidence that electrons are composite particles? What else does it depend on? Inverse square can’t be the only dependence. How does the gravitation get to be “very strong” How does time dilation figure into this? They are everything, but nothing more. They attract via gravity, which is inherently weak, yet inexplicably their gravitational interaction is very strong. They comprise particles that have no internal structure, but they are not themselves particles, and they have no properties but the particles they comprise do have properties. And the model you’ve shared explains none of this. Why don’t we call them fairies? Because this is much more magic than science

Should academic research establishments be political?
But biases are like vectors, as you agree with below. Opposing biases would tend cancel. Why would you do the wrong chemical reaction? But you end up with less overall bias, so nobody is exerting the influence they hoped to. How can there be any thought with no funding?
-
What is "i"?
But you said they don’t congregate there. Now you say they do. Why do they? Gravitational attraction? What is the mathematical form of this attraction? What does it depend on? Are you just unwilling to share these details, or do you not actually have these details?
-
What is "i"?
That doesn't answer the question What does the strength of this interaction, between these points, depend on? Even if the strength is a free parameter, you have to have variables in the equation. When you say they are scalar, what do you mean? And what does that have to do with units? In physics terms, scalar either means it lacks a direction or the spin is zero. You need to refrain from making up new meanings for existing terms.
-
What is "i"?
What does the strength of this interaction, between these points, depend on? What does the strength of this interaction, between a point and some particle of mass m, depend on?

Evidence that we're in the Matrix or something like it
The fact that this thread was in speculations as opposed to a mainstream section should be a clue.

What is "i"?
We already have the Higgs. That's been predicted theoretically and verified experimentally. That's twaddle. Is there a mathematical solution for the motion of these points? Why do they move? What is the nature of their interaction with each other? Is it an existing interaction, or a new one? Doing the math is most of the work, and it is, IMO, a fool's errand when you can't explain your idea using physics language. Does your idea work with, say, two points? "nodes of convergence"? More twaddle. What is converging?

What is "i"?
If they are the source of gravity and gravity is stronger where we have mass, how can it be that they don't congregate where we have mass? Influence...how? They move, according to your animation? Is this because they interact with each other? Is that a gravitational interaction? Do they interact with matter, other than gravitationally? How would they produce photons, which have energy? How do you "nudge" them? So far as we know, neutrinos and electrons have no structure. They are also both spin 1/2, so you would have to explain how the spin arises from this. One of them has charge. Where does that come from?
-
What is "i"?
Is it a vector, though? So why is the gravity from a more massive particle larger? Why do your particles congregate where we have matter? Or photons? How can they travel with photons unless they are massless, but if they are massless they travel at c, so how can they be a part of matter?
-
What is "i"?
You mean neutrinos, right? (They were thought to be, but AFAIK the fact that they have mass means this isn’t exclusive.) https://neutrinos.fnal.gov/mysteries/handedness/ neutrinos turn out to be an anomaly. Other particles such as the quarks and the other three leptons (the electron, muon, and tau) have both left-handed and right-handed versions of both the matter particle and their antimatter partner. I have no idea what you mean by this. In your model they are points rotating. Nothing inherently gravitational. No interaction is described.

Why assume our civilisation is more advanced?
! Moderator Note Your thread isn’t doing this; open a new one to investigate ! Moderator Note But you still haven’t defined what more civilized means, or that your premise is true. Yet you are asking why it’s true. ! Moderator Note Again, you ask why something is true, instead of asking if it is true

Deck prisms are used on ships/boats. A cheap option is a clear plastic bottle filled with water, fitted into the roof. (aka a liter of light)

Why assume our civilisation is more advanced?
! Moderator Note 1. more civilized ≠ more advanced. Which one are you asking about? 2. Provide an explanation of what you mean by the term you choose, and establish that it’s true, before you ask why it’s true.

QM. Split from Are Space & Time A Fundamental Property Or Emergent
You probably got details wrong, and this would allow someone to more easily check what the actual claim was. I have a PhD in physics, and this is a book written for a popular audience. I’m talking about actual physics, not watered-down explanations in popular books. “the literature” being popular books, or peer-reviewed articles? An official Fermilab statement should be easy to cite. I’m not sure what a phantom particles is. You can use a hot-wire detector to detect atoms, you can use a microchannel plate to detect electrons. It’s not all photon detection. Do you have the actual name of the particles they discovered experimentally, without a theory? They’re all given names. I’m in a pickle, I guess
