A Speculative Model of Time as a Fractal Matrix: Implications for Gravity and Quantum Phenomena
What specific predictions can you make that would serve as a test?

Why god would want us to be happy?
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.

Why god would want us to be happy?
“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)

How many words ?
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.

Speculative science questions
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

3D printing... For other than plastic ?
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.

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

Black hole breakthrough
Then reach out to him. He’s not affiliated with this site (so far as I know; users don’t have to reveal their names)

Fractal Topology of Spacetime (speculation)
Pretty clear that it’s just a bit of word salad, with no legitimate meaning behind it.

The Bird Brain of Alcatraz
Functionally it has been, since many of the abducted are not getting due process and there are instances where courts are being ignored
-
Fractal Topology of Spacetime (speculation)
So are you not answering the question to just be difficult, because you can’t, or because you realize it will reveal that your conjecture is false?

Fractal Topology of Spacetime (speculation)
I don’t know. They show as all consistent (6 hours) in mine

The meaning of constancy of the speed of light
I must be hallucinating this, then https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_speed_of_light There’s an item in there that points out that dimensionless constants are not dependent on your choice of unit systems, which is one reason they are investigated.

Speculations for cryptosceptics
As far as the US is concerned, Reagan happened. But I fail to see what this has to do with crypto, seeing as it’s a more recent development. Bitcoin didn’t start until 2009.

Black hole breakthrough
You can post it here for discussion. That’s all we can do for you.

Fractal Topology of Spacetime (speculation)
Nature doesn’t care how humans define these things. If c doubled there would be physical effects that we might notice. Same for these other constants. Don’t waffle - answer the question.

Pass someone walking: what to do?
Ear buds are sometimes hard to spot, but any indication they’re listening to something is a sign they don’t want to verbally engage. IMO.

Pass someone walking: what to do?
Sometimes you can tell from a distance if they’re avoiding eye contact, in which case I say nothing.

I found an infinite motor powered by hydrogen?
No net energy release, as exchemist notes, but there will also be inefficiencies in each step, which represent losses.

The Bird Brain of Alcatraz
When, ultimately, Alcatraz is not reopened, it will be blamed on Biden. I think he thinks it makes him look tough, and impresses his base. Part of his bullying.
-
Why god would want us to be happy?
It’s not clear that this is the case. There are examples where it isn’t - Loki, Hades, etc. Indifferent or malevolent gods.

How do you test this idea?

Give this formula a name
What is sec? I don’t recognize that as a variable.
