Trump does not appear to care. Those who are appalled by this are generally not surprised, and those who are surprised weren’t paying attention. And maybe a quarter of the country (perhaps even more) is cheering it on.

Alternately, the OP can explain what they mean by a TOE. Though if it’s even more aggressive than this…good luck.

Get away from US MSM sources, especially anything anything owned by Murdoch or Sinclair, avoid punditry in favor of news, and the quality improves considerably

Science fiction is not a prediction of the future. I’d limit this to actual attempts at prediction. And a lot of “predictions” were tries at generating reader engagement and unfettered by scientific reality. A good science discussion could be had in looking at why the predictions (like jetpacks and flying cars) being common. Anyway, offices got a lot close to paperless over the first few decades of this century. I did my part - I was a big part as we transitioned our purchasing forms from being paper with literal carbon copies, filled out in triplicate, to pdf files with just one paper copy, to pdfs with digital signatures all done online. (once I learned how to make pdf forms, I became the go-to guy for converting paper forms to digital for colleagues in both HR and purchasing. They were very helpful in clearing administrative logjams for us, so helping them was a no-brainer. My bosses were very supportive of me spending some time on admin work because of that help we got and because they realized that streamlining the processes would save us more time than I spent in the long term) I buy stuff online all the time. Paperless is not something we’re waiting for. There will always be slow adopters but that’s human nature, not a technology failure.

It’s why they could never kill Hitler. Temporal congestion. All of the assassins crash into each other.

But there’s no interaction. I can only go by what you post; made no judgement about what you didn’t. (uploaded files don’t count) I look forward to seeing the testable model posted on these pages.

Which is very suggestive that you used AI for more than “text finalizing” edit: I missed that you stated that it “helped” with the research (apologies to all, I could have saved us some time) From rule 2.13: you can’t use a chatbot to generate content that we expect a human to have made. Since LLMs do not generally check for veracity, AI content can only be discussed in Speculations. It can’t be used to support an argument in discussions.

Certain “why” questions are outside of science; they can’t be tested, so any proposal is just so much hot air. But we know why the states of entangled particles have their particular correlation - because conservation laws apply. And conserved quantities like momentum are related to symmetries. Momentum is tied to spatial translation symmetry, energy to time translation. Noether’s theorems show this. As I said, you will eventually dig down to the point where you can’t answer why, but your apparent unawareness of these existing answers suggests you need to dig a lot more before you start lecturing others.

Rutherford actually never proposed that; it’s the Bohr atom. Rutherford paved the way with the idea that a lot of the atom’s mass was concentrated in one spot (presumably the center) but never really developed any aspect of the model with details about the electrons. Since the Bohr model was superseded by QM, and people aren’t generally exposed to much QM (outside of those studying physics and chemistry) it’s not all the surprising to me that it’s such a common misconception. I think a lot of these are accepted and perpetuated by people whose education was limited - it’s outside their area of competence and sounds somewhat reasonable and jibes with what they remember from grade school or high school or otherwise taught at a young age and it never got challenged. Like there only being xx and xy chromosome combinations, and that’s all there is to it, thus limiting sex and gender to two categories. Anyway, one favorite is there is a permanent dark side of the moon, and another is that the moon is only visible at night. Others: the seasons are caused by distance from the sun, and there’s no gravity in space

I think it might be an interesting basis for a science fiction novel.

It’s like the demand for a medium for light to travel in, ca. 125+ years ago, just repackaged. “it’s how some other stuff works and my personal mental model requires it”

5.69 x 10^18 kg is not 5.69 million kg. Not even close You were told to post the material here. Not just upload a document You need to explain how S1 and S2 impact motion dynamics. You might also explain why you are using the same variable designator (S) for two quantities that don’t have the same units (kg-m^2/s and kg^2-m/s^2) Also using x to mean radial distance is unusual. It’s not position, and incorrect to call it that What would be more interesting, after you explain the motion impacts of your conjecture, is to retrodict the earth’s orbital parameters.

I strive for better than “not necessarily wrong” but you do you.

That would fit with the finding that legal punishment doesn’t deter crime, except that it’s not like not thinking you’ll get caught comes into play. Anyway, the description “god-fearing Christian” and hearing people say “If I weren’t a Christian I’d <do something>” suggests otherwise. Then again, people rationalize doing bad things all the time, and doing them in the name of god is part of that.

If you expect it will make up an answer, how is it “plausible”? Did a new definition drop?

It’s the ones that don’t that I was talking about

If this has never happened before, then such information isn’t in the AI’s training. Why on earth would you expect it to do anything but make up an answer?

I gave you the reference. You looked this up as part of your research, right? If it was online or in a digital document why would it take more than a few minutes?

I don’t see how that follows That’s the big question, now isn’t it?

But if the religious folks knew for sure that there was no supreme being and no eternal damnation, would their behavior change? How much of the behavior is driven by fear of divine judgement/punishment?

Meanwhile, you’re not answering relevant questions.

No. There is no need for that hypothesis, nor any compelling evidence to support it.

There is a reference that matches, Nat Rev Genet. 2003 Jun;4(6):457-69. doi: 10.1038/nrg1088. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12776215/ The abstract includes “Controlled and replicated experiments are using viruses, bacteria and yeast to investigate how their genomes and phenotypic properties evolve over hundreds and even thousands of generations” which aligns with the bit I quoted earlier, but not with your claims of anticipating anything or use of antibiotics And, of course, it is not an example of something from 2024/5, as you claimed. So, I have to ask: Did you find that reference and read it, or was it something you just repeated uncritically? With such a lengthy post, it should not be surprising that people would focus on smaller portions. That the theory of evolution is more developed now than before is not in doubt; all of science is like that. But nothing compels anyone to reconsider the main assumptions until you can present a more rigorous argument. Since you have a history of asserting this conclusion, I find it difficult to accept that you just arrived at it.

People who don’t understand the definition of theory in science always tell on themselves

It’s nice to know what conclusion you want, so you can choose the evidence you pretend to cite If it’s that experiment - “At one point, one of the populations exploded far beyond the parameters of the experiment. Lenski eventually discovered that this population had evolved the ability to metabolize citrate, an organic molecule which was part of the solution the E. coli lived in, but which E. coli cannot normally uptake” then it in no way supports the claim that anything was anticipated. Nor is there any mention of antibiotics. So it’s some other experiment or a massive misrepresentation
