I don’t know which talks you’re referring to; there are a limited number if scenarios where time travel (returning to an earlier time) would be hypothetically possible We traverse time just sitting around. It’s noon. One minute later, it’s 12:01 “Physical phenomenon” and “physical entity” carry different implications. We can measure time. We can affect time in some ways, because time is relative to the environment you’re in (specifically your motion and gravitational potential) Physics does not require this to be the case. Can you store length somewhere? Length is a physical phenomenon that subject to certain physical laws, similar to time. Many of the same arguments one applies to time must apply to length.

Mainly I paid attention to your declaration that it’s not physics, and that it has to do with perception. (also the complete lack of physics in the post) It ended up in speculations because (from your own presentation) it is new, rather than being a discussion of some established science. I don’t think any mainstream physics says that time is a physical entity. Can you hold it in a container? (Jim Croce wanted to do that)

It’s also basically in the same orbit, though it has a different albedo (but also assumes things about the earth’s albedo which might not hold under those conditions) A few degrees is not a big difference given the assumptions being made.

So it should not have been posted in physics. Moved to speculations. Sounds like you want to overwrite memories, which is in no way time travel

If you want to learn to do QM, math is necessary, but learning about QM, not so much. But you do need to understand things about energy and momentum (angular momentum in particular) The undergrad QM class I took had a fair amount of history in it, to ease the students into the really new concepts of quantized values and treating things as waves. One reason the Bohr model is still discussed.

Since the moon lacks an atmosphere, “like the moon” means no greenhouse effect. You might not like the way the information was presented, but it’s not factually incorrect.

That’s moving goal posts - nobody said a wolf with 20 dire wolf edits isn’t a wolf. It’s just not a dire wolf. Homo habilis with 20 sapiens edits would still be Homo, but would an Australopithecine? We don’t know the genetics, but they seem closer to Homo than Pan does, and 20 edits certainly doesn’t get them to Homo sapiens.

It’s OK to say “we don’t know” Science finds stuff out, but there’s still stuff out there we don’t know. It’s why scientists still have jobs “Science can’t (yet) explain it, therefore God” is the god-of-the-gaps. As Neil deGrasse Tyson put it (paraphrasing) it makes God an ever-shrinking pocket of scientific ignorance. I.e. the more we learn, the more God diminishes. Not very omnipotent.

There are species that could be genetically closer to Homo sapiens that are not classified as such. Any of our Homo predecessors, and perhaps even Australopithecines. They have human genes that chimpanzees lack.

Attack ideas/arguments, not people. This crosses a line.

Because some people want simple answers to questions they don’t want to think about very much. Others are uncomfortable with the notion that there isn’t some grand plan - probably the same set that proclaim that without a supreme deity life can have no purpose. ID is just an offshoot that tries to leverage the credibility of science and get past any gatekeepers trying to keep religion separate.

I refer you to the item I quoted: “would a chimpanzee with 20 gene edits be human?”

Unlike people in the Monty Python sketch, Mrs. Tilly like both woody and tinny words

I’s hard to understand what motivates people, but I imagine they get some kind of a thrill. Similar to how trolls enjoy stirring things up by saying outrageous things, perhaps.

Like I said, he’s fictional. Meant as a generic example in a request for more information. i.e. someone that you might identify

No, she likes Sally the saloonkeeper.

Reasons for banning are rules violations. Less serious violations will get you warnings and then a suspension, which allows an opportunity to modify the offending behavior. But if the pattern is not broken it ends in a ban. Multiple moderators typically concur before this happens, which means there might be a lag in time between an infraction and mod action. Serious infractions can mean an instant ban - posting porn, bigoted and/or profanity-laced diatribes or attacks, spamming, making a second account to avoid a suspension or ban. These do not necessarily require a second opinion. The mechanics? A moderator clicks a few things. Spam-banning usually includes the hiding of the offending threads. I will note that being wrong is not a rules violation, but ignoring correction/feedback or reasonable requests for corroboration (valid research citations) quickly becomes soapboxing, which is.

Which one do you want? Joe’s a fictitious example

Answered, to some extent, in the thread. In any event, I doubt you’re going to get clarification at this point.

He’s of African descent, so he has a very low neanderthal composition.

The OP specified “common ancestry with the rest of the apes” so it’s hominin.

Moderator NoteAsking about downvotes is OT. Deal with it. It’s sad that anyone has to nitpick at this level. Bored, are we? Accusation about anyone being deliberately obtuse is an overreach, since you can’t possibly know. Misunderstanding and misinterpretation happens all the time. People are not mind readers. Don’t create a standard you can’t live up to. Accusations of sockpuppetry in the thread are OT - they should be reported - but by itself is unhelpful. Mods can sniff out sockpuppets but we’re not going to match a posting style against all the other people who have posted here.

Yes. And if dark matter is a result of curvature, doesn’t this mean a modification of the equations of GR?

Higher or lower than what? Than average? Than Joe the bartender? When using a comparative you need a reference.
