Phi for All

Such a shame you've based so much on misunderstanding! Breaks the heart.

! Moderator Note I can move this to Religion or to Speculations, but it can't stay in any mainstream section. I don't think you can support this idea well enough to satisfy our rules for Speculation, and you can't make any predictions with "the string is everything". It's not something I want to inflict on the Religion section either. Science isn't about making things up because they make more sense than what you were taught. Theory is the best it gets, the most successful methodology for making sure we explain how the universe behaves. Can you support any of these ideas with evidence or a mathematical model?

It looks like you filled in gaps in your knowledge with stuff you made up rather than studying what the giants before you discovered. And there are some common, pop-science mistakes too. There is no "space time fabric", for instance. Spacetime is a description of the geometry involved in the continuum of spatial and temporal dimensions. Consciousness hues? We don't even have a working definition of consciousness, but you're applying yours to physics? And we simply don't know anything about the starting point of the BB, other than it was extremely hot and dense. And what kind of magic wand are you waving with the "quantization beyond the standard model" part? It's not clear what any of this has to do with leaving a black hole. Please explain what your diagram means. Take baby steps so we know you're on firm ground before taking the next.

Are you focused on how common it is for a reason? If it's common enough, do you think you can ignore it? When you're bleeding, is frequency among the population more important than hemostasis? You asked a lot of non-doctors, none said they had nosebleeds, and from that you came to the WRONG conclusion that dry air and nose picking shouldn't be the cause of nosebleeding, when they're actually the two most common causes of nosebleeding. I just don't understand why you don't go to the doctor again. Who cares how common it is? It's happening to you and it probably shouldn't. The doctor has records of what they did before, and may have a better protocol in place these days. Your blood and your time are worth more than this. If it's causing you stress, see a doctor, please. I'm concerned about your health.

The Lebombo Bone was found in Africa and is over 43,000 years old. It has 29 notches carved into it that are thought to have been used to count lunar phases. Whatever it was used for, it's clear it was measuring a count of something, basic math. The Ishango Bone was also found in Africa, and is about 20,000 years old. It's believed to be a tally stick. This generalization is offensive both racially and reasonably. You think absolutely no person from China had anything to do with the advancement of mathematics throughout history?! Why "think" about it when you can do some meaningful research about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_mathematics

Great! So it shouldn't be that hard for you to see that, unless we're somehow able to use ALL methods of observation available to us (and probably some we don't know about YET), we should never assume we know what's really going on. Physics observes how nature behaves, and it's counterproductive to the scientific method to claim what you're observing is Truth or Reality. We aren't looking for answers, we're looking for the best supported explanations. That's how theories can continue to improve.

As others, including you, have noted, when you observe a phenomenon, you only know what can be observed by the methodologies you're using, and NONE of those methods could possibly tell you "how things really are". Observing tells you about certain behaviors, but doesn't tell you anything about reality. Watch a professional magician, and tell me your observations reflect what's really happening.

Apparently so: https://publications.iadb.org/en/experimental-evidence-use-biomethane-rum-distillery-waste-and-sargassum-seaweed-alternative-fuel

I think this stance is flawed in a big way. "How things really are" is quite different than "what we observe in nature". You're looking for proofs and truths and reality in a system that reveres theory for its resistance to deception and subjectivity.

At the same time? In the OP, you said there was five years between. I tried to tell you the problem with asking many people who aren't doctors in my first post. Did it help you to ask that many non-doctors? Did the one doctor you saw help you?

I wonder if those studies include the impact of capitalism on the elderly. In the US, we spend our whole lives saving for retirement, paying into Social Security, only to find several well-oiled, privately owned industries are just waiting to sink their hooks into your savings. Medicare is rife with all these private schemes that suck the effectiveness out of your retirement savings (I get invited to steak dinners so they can sell me on my government's medical coverage). Even if you can avoid scammers, there are too many legal ways to fleece the elderly.

So a doctor fixed you with "simple checks and treatment", but now that the bleeding is back, you ask over 100 people if they have nose bleeding? Your history suggests a doctor would be better than asking non-doctors. Asking others about this symptom isn't going to help you. You don't know anything else about them, even if they tell you they get nose bleeding. And we don't know enough about you. We don't know what your blood pressure is. We don't know how long/sharp your fingernails are. We don't know what medications may be thinning your blood. We don't know what allergies you may have. We don't know what altitude you live at. We don't know what irritants are present in your environment. We don't know enough about you to tell you what to do when the very blood that keeps you alive is leaking out of you. Seeing a doctor about this has been successful in the past, and asking over 100 non-doctors has not. What do you think you should do?

! Moderator Note Moved from Science News to Physics.

It's probably off-topic in this thread, but what are we going to do with all the sculptures if this anti-almond trend continues?

How the world looks to some people?! No offense, but the threads you start are things you want to share with others, but this is a science DISCUSSION forum. We like to talk about various aspects of science. If you want to share something with us, how about giving us a clue about how you'd like us to interact with it? This is like a blog post, which you've heard before. It doesn't invite us to have a conversation about the subject. Did you wish to discuss the art of Ocampo? Did you wish to discuss how humans tend to see patterns in natural events? Did you wish to discuss the differences in people who see things this way and those who don't? Is this posted in "Other Sciences" for a reason? Is it important that the images all resolve to human faces instead of anything else? Do the wings and bird images in each signify anything? Do you see the world this way? Without some direction, I can only add, "That's nice." Not much discussion.

... until some villain challenges Relativity, then you unleash the Shaolin Physics of Phury. I know you're not that kind of monk, but your kung fu is strong.

Moths have some audio camouflage. Besides active jamming sounds, fuzzy wings can make it passively difficult for bats to find them. https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/researcher-receives-grant-to-study-echolocation-in-moths/

As soon as I read this, the Chanting Monks from Monty Python & The Holy Grail came to mind. How would you finish one of those boards?

Did you pronounce it bass (as in mass) or bass (as in mace)? ... and walleye enjoy it as I mullet over? Eel take you in his arms 'cause you're the gill of his breams, and you'll blush when you see the ocean's bottom! I have to stop surfing the net!

But it's a question that requires more information before it can be answered accurately. "A piece of wood with an unfinished surface" can be treated in many ways, and they all depend on what the wood is being used for. If the wood is outside, it needs a different treatment than if it's inside, right? If the wood is being used with food (such as a cutting board), there are oils and finishes that work better than others and aren't toxic. If the use for the wood involves a lot of friction or pounding, something that does more than seal the wood may be needed. So maybe you can answer what the wood is being used for, and under what conditions, as iNow asked?

It's piped through speakers on the Yellow Submarine.

! Moderator Note Three pages in and you still aren't listening to what's being said. Just because you can't believe there's no next real number doesn't make it so, and your incredulity alone means nothing. It's too frustrating to be in a discussion with someone who is wrong about something but refuses to listen to all the folks trying to help. Every single poster has given you a different, reasonable way to deal with this problem, and you've rejected every one. You've admitted that your original argument is dead. Most of your concerns are nebulous and involve how an explanation makes you "feel". At a certain point, arguments like these become soapboxing with no reasoning to support them, and nobody wants to be in a discussion like that. Decide whether or not you have anything to support your explanation, or perhaps that you were wrong and need to review what's already been given to you.

This is a science discussion forum, like folks sitting around a table talking about their interests. You've just jumped on top of the table and declared several things which may or may not be true, in a way that makes me think you've already made up your mind about this topic. I can listen to preaching on video. Here, I want to discuss science with open-minded humans, which I think is far more interesting, don't you?

! Moderator Note Somewhere there is a link to the study this was based on. Next time you start a thread like this, please include such information. We try not to waste each other's time here arguing over articles nobody has read. More rigor next time, right?

Using "nature" to mean "born with" (aka genetics) and "nurture" to mean "learned after birth" (aka environmental factors), I disagree that there's any nature in either. I don't think there's a religion gene, just some genetics that make some more susceptible. You learn about gods and whether they seem credible to you or not, you aren't born that way. You may be born with a curious mind that questions, but what you believe depends on how those questions are answered. Some people get scientific answers, some are told they're lucky, some are told they're worthless, some are given no answers, and some are told about a specific god and its teachings.
