It’s not like any of this is an absolute. What works better for you doesn’t necessarily work better for someone else. You are confusing ”makes sense” with “makes sense to me” And, like many people who show up here with diagrams, you overestimate how intuitive it is, likely because you are already familiar with the details. I don’t understand this claim. You don’t include them in the 1-18 numbering system, either. Or am I just imagining the numbers 19-32?

If you use alternative physics you have to come up with new names for things, because the ones in use have a particular meaning. The Hubble sphere is defined in terms of mainstream physics

By the same token, we can’t be sure that the one we got was the last message, if it was a message. You don’t have a theory here, as you’ve acknowledged. It’s a narrative (of sociology, perhaps). The thing is, we’re a science discussion site. You’re cherry-picking what little data there is in order to support your narrative, but that’s not the way science is done.

Yup. I saw a report that said 89,000 atoms a second. A billion years gets you a around a gram

The Hubble sphere has a radius of ~14 billion LY. The Milky Way has a diameter has a diameter of ~100k LY. So less than a part in 10,000. That’s “significant”? You seem to be allergic to doing any actual math as part of this.

This one is a dipole. Similar to a disk magnet https://cod.pressbooks.pub/physics1100/chapter/magnetism/

In the case of the toroid, the field is circular, so there is a symmetry that’s not there for the bar magnet. There’s also no transition from outside to inside the material, where the field is more concentrated. Labeling anything N or S would be arbitrary.

Yes, but we humans don’t notice these dimensions, because they are only noticeable on a very small scale - as you say, Planck scale or smaller. So you can’t have it be true that they’re important for life but also we don’t notice them. They would have to have effects above the atomic scale, meaning there has to be experiments that would reveal them.

Also it’s possible that staff have been directed do and not do certain things.

Crackpots often make no sense, but have supreme confidence that they’re right. Exposure in the US to >1ppb of RFK Jr is very hazardous to our health

Wayback machine has it https://web.archive.org/web/20250417142106/https://profmattstrassler.com/2025/04/17/blog-on-indefinite-pause/ “As the US government freezes scientific funding and attacks my host institution (under the pretense of fighting anti-semitism — a claim no one here believes, given that the government is now doing far more actual harm to Harvard’s not-so-small population of Jewish faculty, researchers and students than was ever done by anti-Gaza-war protestors), it has become impossible to continue with my normal activities. I hope to resume them in the future.”

That’s what I’m asking you: does your model make more than the vague predictions that you’ve listed? Does it actually quantify anything?

What specific predictions can you make that would serve as a test?

It’s the original claim you made in the discussion. Do you really think you can deny you made it? As an atheist with the stated opinion that “any argument from an atheist that uses god, is a logical fallacy.” it would seem that any comment you make here is off-topic, since the topic is about god, and you’re talking about people. If you can’t or won’t discuss the topic, stay out of the conversation.

“Influenced by” is moving the goalposts. The claim was “no god has ever directly written a word” Name a religion that claims their holy book was directly written by their deity. This is not an issue of whether an outsider believes it. (not that this requires atheism. I doubt many Christians believe the flying spaghetti monster is real)

Hmm. This might be the Nth time I've seen this. Last time I went brrr because of the cold.

Bollocks. Gods and religions/mythologies are not identical, and some do not fit into the category. Specifics are absolutely needed.

The thing about extra dimensions in string theory be “curled up” is that they are only important at very small scales. Life is macroscopic by comparison. IOW, if you say it affects life there has to be a way to test it on the scale that “life” has meaning

Flexible filaments are available, and you can make a mold if you program it properly. It would use a lot of material, and it might need to be a system where any scaffolding can be dissolved away, since you might not have easy access to some regions.

And I am asking you to quantify this “scaling” (assuming c scales by a factor of 2) which you still have not done.
