I want to create a 1 meter BEC
No, it’s not theoretical. That implies science is involved. This is pure fiction. Then you know nothing about BEC, despite this discussion.

What is the Biological Combination Theory? Origin Of Humans – How Life Started On Earth ? Where do new viruses come from ? Covid 19
! Moderator Note Your thesis is comprised of multiple unfounded claims, which you need to support. The default position is that you are wrong, until you can establish that you are right; IOW, any theory requires evidence. Our rules are aligned with this position. ! Moderator Note Indeed. Argument by quotation suggests there’s no evidence to examine, or detailed model to analyze

Electric field energy of the electron (split from Can infinities exist in nature?)
This assumes the energy of the electric field can somehow be separated from the mass energy of the electron.

What Energy And The Economy Have In Common
Because gold (and silver) clearly can’t be mined and minted into new coins, or formed into bars and added to the reserve? What do you think “conserved” means?

Newbie seeks enlightenment.
https://www.scienceforums.net/guidelines/ (one of the options under “browse” at top left) Section 1: Purpose Statement ScienceForums.net is dedicated to providing a forum for the discussion of all things scientific with the highest degree of integrity and respectability. We aim to provide all individuals, regardless of their education level, a forum to express their ideas and love of science. People who want to be moderators are generally not moderator material. It’s a version of Catch-22.

What Energy And The Economy Have In Common
Governments can print money, economies can multiply it, but energy is a conserved quantity. If you can track where energy goes, it will all add up to the same amount.

Inertia/acceleration question
Not all the air; there will be a gradient of density. Similar to how air pressure (and density) near the earth’s surface is higher than it is at some distance above the surface, owing to the affect of gravity.

You claimed your post would make sense on this day.

Anti green energy lobby hard at work in Texas
If by cynically dishonest you mean “do they think their supporters are this stupid” I think the answer is yes. It’s been obvious for a long time that a large swath of the population are far too credulous regarding lies made by politicians and the “news” channels that amplify them. The issue here is blaming the existence of renewable sources for the shortfall, and using this as a talking point to not “go green” while ignoring the failure of gas and oil. The issue is not having properly protected/winterized the infrastructure. Canada, Norway, Sweden, even Antarctica have wind turbines that work just fine. edit to add link: https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/blaming-the-wind-for-the-mess-in-texas-is-ridiculous

Universe expanding...
An exploding star is not an analogue of the big bang

By what standard is the public NOT at fault for climate change?
Ecology more than geology, but...so what? We have a demonstrable impact on the earth. Baldly asserting the opposite isn't based on evidence.

Eternal universe (split from Universe expanding...)
! Moderator Note "Eternal inflation is a hypothetical inflationary universe model" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_inflation IOW, not suited for replies in mainstream science. You can, however, discuss its merits and drawbacks here in this thread.
-
Universe expanding...
All points. Other than local motion, the expansion is there for every point.

$1,000,000 Question
I remember a documentary where the claim was injecting you with window cleaner cause the brain to die last, and it could be preserved in a vat.
-
Inertia/acceleration question
The presence or absence of gravity has no effect here. In a Newtonian view these are forces, and forces add as vectors. Whatever acceleration that's exerted on them via rockets (or whatever) is something they will experience. In any event, a body in orbit isn't at rest. The astronauts are perpetually in freefall, but if one analyzes their motion one would deduce that there is a net force on them, because they are not in uniform motion. Therefore, they are undergoing acceleration.

By what standard is the public NOT at fault for climate change?
Perhaps these folks could learn what the biggest impacts are. From the recent book by Bill Gates Changing driving habits is only going to have a small effect. It's not nothing but one needs to not overestimate the impact. Going green with electricity production, and cleaner manufacturing, is going to have a bigger impact. You can't choose a product that isn't available. My own experience is that people who boycott meat are convinced that they aren't missing anything. They don't have to. That's based on the claim that the Amazon produces ~20% of the oxygen (some others argue it's less) What, precisely, is the blame you wish to place on them? Because it's a matter of degree, perhaps? Getting a number wrong (20% of the oxygen instead of, say, 10% i.e. a factor of 2) is different in degree in denying that there is any climate change taking place at all, and arguing that no action is required. IOW the price of being wrong is very, very different.

Galaxies Are pushing each other, indirectly.
! Moderator Note This is insufficient for a science discussion. You need a model and/or evidence to support your claims. Not just this hand-wave.

Can you establish that these characteristics have a genetic basis?

Crashing into Andromeda
Apologies for not being clear: you mention dark energy, and then measuring the effect of GR on the level of a bond length. Are these connected? If so, how?

Crashing into Andromeda
Is there supposed to be a connection between these statements? If so, what is it?

Sea Serpents?
No model, no data, just a video? There's no science here (also, just posting videos in this way is not in compliance with rule 2.7, as you should know). This is not a topic for speculations. Moved.

Sea Serpents?
What's the speculation here?

Islands of stability in transuranic elements
Ah, yes. I only read the title initially. But that raises the question of why propose Am as a fuel. That suggests to me this is a bit of a pipe dream.
