Physical Revue says "Whiteboards are Racist"
That's because the culprits of most racial injustice are white male capitalists who treat their dogs better than most people.

Who did the basic works of math?
The steam turbine was invented around the 1st century AD, but the technology to make it do work didn't come along until centuries later. We know that a Dyson Sphere is a physical possibility, but we don't yet have the technology to pull it off.

Except that it's use began about the same time that the US slave trade ramped up for tobacco cultivation (1610 or so), to indicate that people on the list were undesirables, troublemakers, and deserved some form of punishment for it.

Physical Revue says "Whiteboards are Racist"
OTOH, I don't mind some over-sensitivity when it comes to racism. There are so many words and phrases that have inherent biases in them, or have racist origins, or help perpetuate stereotypes. Should you use white paper to blacklist someone for being the black sheep of the physics journal? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6148600/#b39-jmla-106-527 I thought folks were being overly sensitive by correcting my use of the term "master bedroom" until I thought about how gender and racially offensive it was. It took me about three tries to learn to use "main" instead of "master".

Does evolution have a direction?
Which wing design are you talking about? How did wings "end up"? Did they "end" at all?

Theory of Everything "Prime Mechanics"
! Moderator Note This is NOT what I asked for. One last chance to address the problems instead of leaping to your erroneous conclusions. Remember, you're trying to explain your ideas to us and persuade us you're onto something. Simply declaring your ideas sound isn't the way discussion works. Please do better.

Theory of Everything "Prime Mechanics"
! Moderator Note This is just soapboxing without supportive evidence, and nobody wants to waste time discussing anything with a soapboxer. Please address the problems with your ideas before declaring them sound. So far, because you made it up, it only makes sense to you, and Mordred is trying to help you describe your ideas based on tested, reliable mainstream physics.

! Moderator Note Keep your speculative ideas in their own thread until such time as you've supported it sufficiently to be moved into mainstream subjects. Keep arguing against the rules and I'll have to spin this stuff off to the Trash.

What are some cases (if any) of people coming back from the dead?
I thought a safety coffin was to keep zombies underground. That makes a lot more sense.

Robert Downey Jr probably came the closest.

My belief in GOD,
I believe "beyond the unknown" is a specious phrase. Sounds good until you really think it through. Math is being developed by humans to describe what we observe in the universe. So far, all the gods seem to have made themselves unobservable to us, and since there are SO MANY different ways to believe in them, preached by SO MANY different believers, some folks choose to trust in knowledge gained through painstaking scientific methodology researched by generations of peers. It seems to get results, where wishful thinking and making things up hasn't worked out very well. Me personally, I take the Humanist approach. Some humans gain a lot of good things from their belief in a higher power. If a god wants to make themselves observable to me, I'll take a look, but until then I'm going to focus on accumulated human knowledge.

Started to have random weird thoughts and wrote them down, anyone care to comment? be nice i'm well new!
! Moderator Note Moved to Speculations. Please support your ideas with evidence and make sure you can back up any assertions.

Off-topic speculation (split from How does ChatGPT work?)
! Moderator Note genio, you need to keep conversation about your speculative ideas in their own threads. Our rules say you need to keep it out of mainstream science discussions until you've supported the concept properly. Thanks for understanding.

I started learning chemistry in school and I am very interested in it. Can anyone help me answer these questions?

Does eating eggs increase cholesterol? What are the latest scientific studies/data suggesting?
It's not a matter of "know", we assume it isn't until we test it. Do you have a link to any studies done on this? You can't make the claim without some kind of evidence to support it.

Testing Creation
Being incomprehensible to others isn't something to stone someone over. All one can really do is encourage more study, so the ideas you have can enjoy some basis in the natural universe we're all observing.

My belief in GOD,
If I recognized that, it would make the word "all" meaningless to me. Except you've given us no calculations that are understandable. Even this sentence has no real meaning. What's a "human time", and how short is very, very, very short? Are you using some kind of religious definition of "heavens and the Earth", here on a science discussion forum? Does your definition include other solar systems and galaxies?

https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/eggs/shell-eggs-farm-table You may have some trouble incorporating this information into your present accumulated knowledge, since it contradicts something you've come to believe unreasonably. It's worth trying to overcome our own cognitive biases though, even though our inclination is to believe even more strongly in the false assumption.

My belief in GOD,
Before you base any kind of spiritual belief in the BBT, you should make sure you understand it. In the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model the Big Bang Theory is based on, the maths don't need any gods to be credible. The nature works out well without the supernatural.

no such numerical value as 1..
Mostly because you made it up based on your limited science knowledge (no offense), so it seems like it's absolutely PERFECT for you. Does that make sense? Any time you try to explain something, your explanation can only be as complete as your current knowledge. Learn more science, and your explanations will more accurately match what we observe in nature.

Testing Creation
It's a mistake thinking this way. The universe is everything. It can't be "enclosed". There is no point where the universe ends and "nothing" begins. If you're describing the universe, there's nothing outside of it. If you were describing a nightclub you visited, there's no part of the nightclub that is outside the nightclub, by its very definition.

How to, Choose the right grease trap treatment?
With so many different options available, it can be difficult to know which businesses that need to trap grease will know which treatment will be most effective for their specific needs.

I concur that words are very important in the quality of our communication, and I'm sure that you can appreciate that there can only be a "complete absence of things" in certain contexts, and that they aren't always the same as "nothing".

The Wedjat Eye of Horus
I've always hated the concept of the mythological "eye" that needs to be plucked out in order to receive wisdom. They did this in Norse mythology too. It's always seemed like decreasing your ability to actually observe nature in exchange for some kind of spiritual enlightenment, which is usually undefined and impervious to reason.

Testing Creation
The word is being used several ways. "Nothing" can escape from a black hole. Empty space is filled with "nothing". There is "nothing" outside of our universe. In each case though, "nothing" means "a complete absence of things", and it's been pointed out that in some instances "nothing" may not be possible.
