New Theory
What movement? Why is there a delay? Under what circumstances? Is this a delay before it starts to move? Why is 38.75 the max possible speed? What does γm represent?

Does drinking water make you sick?
! Moderator Note So it’s both anecdotal and not addressing the question asked. That’s less than helpful.

Why do science down play IQ with risk and bad for darwin
How is this an example of “science downplay IQ in government or businesses like in the past.” Colleges require certain tests (e.g the SAT in the US), which are allegedly tests to measure intelligence and learning. One could argue that getting a degree is an equivalent of such a test, if degrees were awarded on merit. So I don’t see how this is downplaying IQ. But “science” is not an entity, nor is “science” requiring (or not requiring) IQ tests.

What force should be bigger?
Caused by? No. “wave each other”? I don’t know what that is.

What is your evidence that “science” does this?

Barriers to equal opportunity in education
Good thing I didn’t refer to XIII, then. I replied to what you said about XV, and your claim it mentioned blacks. Which it doesn’t.

It mentions race. It says “or” so race and servitude are not actually connected in the amendment.

problem in proof for magnetic vec pot is 0
.The variable of integration is volume in the equation. Not current. dV, not dJ. You are integrating the current over the volume. “What other components could there be?” doesn’t make any sense. There can’t be any “other components”. The equation clearly says dV. There’s no wiggle room.

I don’t see any equation that is an integral over current. The equation to which you refer is an integral over volume.

If you have circular polarization, this is associated with the photon having spin angular momentum of ±hbar. Changing this value is not associated with the wavelength.

Please don’t report posts to point out that someone is wrong. That’s not (by itself) a rules violation. Correction of errors or gaps in knowledge can and should be addressed in the course of a discussion

How large would a black hole need to be to overcome inflation and pull all matter one day into a big crunch?
Fluid behavior is probably an apt description; there would be little or no viscosity, or surface tension, for the same reasons.

1. I didn’t use the term first; I used the same terminology as was used in the question I answered 2. I don’t think there’s any suggestion that this isn’t amazing 3. This is semantics and “clumps together” is perfectly cromulent. Perhaps you have a suggestion of a better word? 4. Is there any objection to the veracity of the science being discussed?

How Trump Could Steal The Election
There is some indication that some conspiracy believers think the voting machines are compromised, so they are urging people to boycott the election, since the democrats have fixed it. I don't know how prevalent this is, but if it has traction, that would depress turnout. Trump isn't on the ballot, which may also depress turnout among some groups of people not driven by civic duty.

How Trump Could Steal The Election
I don’t know if you could validly flip an election that way. It’s a matter of violating election law, rather than invalidating votes, and in a functioning government you could remove illicitly-elected folks; active solicitation of foreign interference seems like it’s an impeachable offense. But the GOP, as we know, had no interest in convicting for other offenses.

You assume he’s a rational adult. I’m sure he doesn’t see things this way.

How Trump Could Steal The Election
False equivalence. There was evidence of foreign interference in 2016, voter fraud was not widely alleged, and we didn’t see this flurry of baseless lawsuits trying to overturn an election that was much closer - the lawsuits were typically challenging laws that tended to disenfranchise voters, and happened before the election. Trump’s main “issue” seems to be that he lost. The cheating is inferred on the premise that it’s the only way he could lose, rather than being based on evidence. And Trump is so concerned that he’s golfing...again.

How Trump Could Steal The Election
Not at this point. His rhetoric was mostly centered on stopping the counting of mail-in ballots, which heavily favored Biden. All they would have to do is interpret them in a way that’s favorable to Trump There’s the rub. It’s not close enough.

He’s basically stated that he thinks he has a majority of the court in his pocket, and he wanted the cases to go before that court.
