  1. ! Moderator Note Do you have a model that makes testable predictions? Is your proposal falsifiable?
  2. The press usually reports announcements and agreements. I’m wondering why you’re having a hard time coming up with anything. On 10 February, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen acknowledged the EU's vaccine rollout failures, saying: "We were late to authorise. We were too optimistic when it came to massive production and perhaps too confident that what we ordered would actually be delivered on time." https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-56286235
  3. A scenario expressly excluded in this discussion by the OP
  4. Yes, and they backed off the example (agreeing it was “extreme”). You brought it up again as if that didn’t happen. Can we please discuss actual cases, instead of manufactured ones?
  5. Useless links in that last sentence. The US agreement happened first, so perhaps they weren’t “yours” “in the event the European Union approved the COVID-19 Vaccine” sounds a lot like no agreement was in place. They made a prediction, not a promise. Why should they know, for a vaccine where they have no experience bringing it to market? You can make a prediction, assuming things go mostly right, and then things don’t go right. Some people are going to choose irrationally, regardless
  6. Mike Tyson as a transgender fighter isn’t honest discussion, and I’m not really pleased with the insinuation that I’m the one not engaging in it. “you know what he meant” is another line that has no place here. I can only go by what people say. I don’t read minds.
  7. What advantages would offshore have? How about providing the historical data/trends? That depends on multiple factors. It’s being implemented in the arctic and in Antarctica, so latitude is not inherently a showstopper
  8. Which hasn’t happened, so it’s not an example. It’s conjecture. It’s made up, and as such not constrained by facts.
  9. ! Moderator Note You’ve already been told you aren’t allowed to advertise your pet theories in other threads, and you can’t build one speculation on top of another.
  10. And yet, in applying the equation, we see that the force on the current-carrying wire does not depend on the field generated by the wire. The current gives all the information we need. IOW you’re confusing the equation with some description of the details of the interaction That’s exactly what you expect if the force depends on the current.
  11. Is there a link to an actual journal article?
  12. No, it’s not. Actual trans people as examples would be examples. I’m not a medical doctor. I have no basis to disagree. What actual threat exists? Give an example. It won’t be about an olympic athlete, because zero trans athletes have competed since the IOC included criteria to let them compete. Then what is it about? Then give examples of this.
  13. The people making them never seem to provide evidence, opting instead to tap-dance around the issues and/or focus on perceived slights when others don’t just credulously buy in.
  14. It may be there's no new actual science, and people just digested the numbers. Deaths per million (total) exceeds 1000 in a lot of countries, and the number of these clotting cases is significantly smaller than that. As you can see from the graph zapatos shared, you've currently got ~5 deaths per day, per million, and it has been higher (and could go back up). Not vaccinating has a worse outcome than clotting, assuming the vaccine is the cause.
  15. Yes, that is also true. Can you see that these are distinct sentiments?
  16. ‘It’s a very special picture.’ Why vaccine safety experts put the brakes on AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/03/it-s-very-special-picture-why-vaccine-safety-experts-put-brakes-astrazeneca-s-covid-19 Scientists don’t know whether the vaccine causes the syndrome, and if so, what the mechanism is. “Everyone’s scratching their heads: Is this a real signal?” says Robert Brodsky, a hematologist at Johns Hopkins University. But vaccine safety officials say they did not take the decision lightly, and that symptoms seen in at least 13 patients, all between ages 20 and 50 and previously healthy, in at least five countries are more frequent than would be expected by chance.
  17. It's a mystery how you reach this conclusion from such a straightforward statement P RS: X J: I agree P RS: You think X is not true?
  18. So this means you are exerting an additional ~80 N of force (+8 kg display) in order to raise your body. This number will vary, depending on how fast you do this. Doing it faster requires a larger acceleration, which requires a larger force. You would see this if you jumped. 57 kg (~570 N) is not the weight with no forces acting. Gravity as acting on you, as is the normal force of the scale on you, and you are exerting a normal force on the scale. i.e. that's what you are exerting on the scale with no additional effort. There is no point in this example where you can say no forces are acting on you.
  19. "U.S. to share 4 million doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine with Mexico, Canada" https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-mexico-exclusi/exclusive-u-s-plans-to-send-4-million-doses-of-astrazeneca-vaccine-to-mexico-canada-official-idUSKBN2BA22S
  20. I'm not asking for your explanation. I'm asking how you are actually doing this measurement; i.e. I want an explanation as if I were going to try and replicate it myself. You stand on the scale and it reads 57 kg. When you reach up like you're picking fruit it drops to 8 kg?
  21. This is kind of irrelevant. Your scale reads a value, and we can compare those values, since g isn’t changing How do you measure just your calves?
  22. t0 can be any arbitrary time. Physics doesn’t have an absolute t=0; it doesn’t work earlier than about 10^-43 sec.
  23. ! Moderator Note No, physics doesn’t work this way. Only external forces can cause an acceleration, and it has no effect on mass. You need experimental evidence for your claims. You’ve been asked for it, and haven’t provided any, despite multiple references to your experiment. Do you have an experiment?
