Given his penchant for ignoring the rules, he probably would have been

That’s a noticeably different response. So it’s not that the government doesn’t “do stuff” because that’s what governments generally do. It’s about government ownership, i.e the economic side of communism or socialism. (and while “commies” don’t want to take the toothbrush, it’s not that person’s toothbrush. It’s community property, not personal property)

How can the means of production be owned by the state, without the government “doing stuff”?

You can only feel a force when standing because the earth is pushing up on you. In General Relativity, freefall is inertial motion, and being stationary requires an acceleration.

There’s some validity to it, but the reason the US funds e.g. Brookhaven is that it’s a lab in the US, as opposed to e.g. CERN (Europe) or TRIUMF or SNO (Canada) or Super-Kamiokande (Japan) You can also discuss the breakdown of funding for particle physics vs other areas of physics, but I think there’s no right answer, only wrong ones (which depends on your favorite area of physics) You’re comparing philosophy and science, which are not competing disciplines. How many fundamental particles has philosophy discovered? Physics has success in theories that are confirmed and experiments that work. And particle physics is not representative of all physics, despite your extrapolation.

So did he get the things done, or was it the people working for him?

Maybe you should make your own sound argument based on established (i.e. confirmed) science and evidence.

What country are you talking about here? Certainly not the US, which does not have such a policy for immigration.

Flow rate varies as diameter^3 and pressure varies as diameter^2 (assuming a given fan speed and all other variables the same) But that means the power varies as D^5, so there’s a tradeoff if you are limited by power. https://blog.fluidflowinfo.com/fan-performance-and-fan-laws/ (also given is variation with fan speed, so you can see how much you’d need to increase that if you decrease diameter)

I’ve never understood that argument, since we have examples of time passage that doesn’t rely on motion (radioactive decay). For that to work, you need an asymptotic behavior, but time doesn’t slow down as motion decreases - it speeds up.

My mistake.

Which, of course, was a lie There are no countries fitting this criterion. I provided a link. There’s only one country over 20% When you pretend you know the motivation of someone you often reveal more about your own motivations. You might describe these as “legal tricks” but they are still legal. What’s happening right now is illegal, and that’s objectively true, not rhetoric, and not an issue of how I feel about the president. . Yeah, right.

You have time and length in empty (i.e. no matter) space

If you ask a question and nobody has the answer, it won’t get answered. So if you want a useful answer you have to ask one that can be answered. (you can get responses that are not answers, as you can observe) If you propose new things, there has to be a scientific basis for the proposal.

Also because he passes the buck for anything bad. Gotta blame it on someone else.

Ask your question, but with “length” instead of “time” Why would it take energy to create length? It’s not a substance. It has no properties we associate with matter. Same thing with time.

The issue is who has authority to do this. Personal info is protected, and not even POTUS has authority to circumvent the protections, despite how the current president is acting. No conspiracy theory. This is all happening out in the open, and a lot of it is illegal. I doubt any POTUS has system credentials for any computer system. Why would they? Being elected doesn’t confer any special sysadmin knowledge. This all misses the point. Being elected president doesn’t suddenly invalidate the laws in question, or create new powers that aren’t in the Constitution.

Glad you get a laugh out of it, but when you throw around numbers and ratios without some kind of model to say why they should be meaningful, that’s what it is. CMBR is a thermal spectrum, i.e. a continuum, so I’m not sure what significance individual values would have. Especially without a model (based in physics) for them to be based on

Why view time as a comparison with energy and mass? Time is coupled with space, so you might account for time in the same way you account for length. We see that we need three spatial and one temporal dimension to describe a lot of the behavior we observe. Time does not transform into energy. Neither does length.
