  1. An axiom is not a system. Neither is tortured logic.
  2. That’s how these systems work That will work with NIR but not thermal. Si cutoff is ~1.1 microns I asked a question about this?
  3. ! Moderator Note No. Speculations has to based on some kind of scientific principles, not some WAG of what would happen based on no understanding at all.
  4. Oh, come on. That nonsense has nothing to do with relativity.
  5. That’s how that imager works Your link describes multiple imaging methods. You should read it more carefully. “The moving scanner line in a traditional photocopier (or a scanner or facsimile machine) is also a familiar, everyday example of a push broom scanner.” Maybe you could read the links you post
  6. Did you read you own wikipedia link? You need multiple pieces of information per pixel to get the image. The link explains ways to do this. Meaning your understanding is incomplete
  7. I see no reference to experiment, and your point seems to be that incorrect equations give unphysical results. Nothing original about that. You’ve basically said 2 + 2 = 7 and concluded math is wrong. You’re wrong, and demonstrably so. Pointing this out is not disrespect. Declaring yourself the be greater than people who were right is disrespect.
  8. It does what? Not unless they are transparent at the wavelength in question. You ignore the third dimension, or incorporate the info in the image. You do realize the 3rd “dimension” is wavelength, right? “There are four basic techniques for acquiring the three-dimensional (x,y,λ) dataset of a hyperspectral cube.” In this sense a regular photo is a 3D image.
  9. It was, as you say, the early days, and it was not known how the virus spread. CharonY has given details above. Fauci publicly corrected himself. Has Trump? Ever? What business does a politician have offering their own views on matters outside their expertise? Especially when the view is that a serious situation is a hoax?
  10. Include a “d” term for both and it may make more sense. It will cancel, of course. The change in the path difference is entirely from the upper path. You could do this at 1 Hz and the path difference would be the same, wouldn’t it? I don’t see how the speed of the mirror ties in with the data you’ve presented.
  11. When are you going to start using them right?
  12. I wasn’t aware that Nature (or any science journals) were behind this. Trump was de-platformed for documented reasons. If he didn’t lie incessantly, his accounts might still be active.
  13. If that’s your best example, you’ve got nothing. It’s a report about others, not Nature taking a position. More rigor is needed on your part for your accusations Stories don’t always merit equal weight on both sides. If there’s a story on the earth being an oblate sphere, equal weight need not be given to flat-earthers. “both sides” is not a justification in and of itself.
  14. They didn’t. They supported one candidate over another, and explained why, and their justification was based on who supported science and who didn’t. But since rejection of science is basically the position of the GOP, it would be reasonable to do that, IMO. How, exactly, does this affect their objectivity?
  15. Well, yes, but the rest of the information is needed to determine what’s going on. The mass of any other particles, photon energy, direction of emission, etc. You can’t solve for anything without this.
  16. It doesn’t. Your analysis is of an unphysical situation (no conservation of momentum) and your KE equation is wrong, therefore no valid conclusion can be drawn from it.
  17. Show your calculation, please
  18. This is unphysical. Momentum is a conserved quantity, which means that you can’t assume all the energy is converted from mass into KE of one particle. That can’t happen. In atomic bombs, you would have multiple massive parts and radiation carrying away energy. If it’s isotropic, momentum is zero, so momentum is conserved. But this is not what you are describing. No, it’s unphysical with few details What posseses this 1 kg’s worth of energy that “went away”? Energy doesn’t go away. It is conserved. Energy is a property, not a substance. (also, don’t introduce new examples. Stick with one until you acknowledge it’s wrong and you correct it)
  19. Energy doesn’t push things. What is happening that results in this motion, and conserves both energy and momentum?
  20. ! Moderator Note Discussion peripheral to Hawking radiation and Black holes should take place in a different thread.
  21. 33.75% - is this per day, per year? A number like this suggests your calculation is meaningless. Given how long the LHC has run, I’d say the fact that we weren’t eaten by a black hole is a substantial blow to your conjecture.
  22. Raw data are usually not published. What is presented is data after analysis. Theories are often published separately; much of the theory may have been developed by others.
  23. ! Moderator Note Our rules require that the discussion take place here. People should be able to participate without clicking any links
  24. robbin66 has been banned as a sockpuppet of bearnard44 and bear33
  25. You can’t publish the same thing, but one can build on an idea and reference the paper, which might raise its profile.
