  1. No, the second T is not silent. Sloppy ( or lazy ) pronunciation often omits the second T, and quite often lately, the ORONT , leaving only TO. Probably the result of social media; easier to type just two letters on a phone keyboard. ( TO is just across the lake for me )
  2. The only 'density' that I would consider would be in the case of GR, where you could conceptualize a 4dimensional grid, and where higher Gravity would be manifested by curvature of the grid lines, and closer packing, or higher density, of the grid linesnear gravitating sources. Alternatively, thinking along the lines of Faraday's field lines as applied to Newtonian Gravity, one notes that the 3dimensional density of field lines increases nearing a source of Gravity, but this leads to discounting the large effects of time on Gravity, and only gives (reasonably ) valid results outside the gravitating body ( field lines will still originate at the CoM ). This comes down to a ( non-mathematical ) visualization of Gravity, which can sometimes be useful for understanding the Physics of a situation, if not the Mathematics, so I use it myself, and encourage it. Your examples only deal with one dimension, but, at some point, you need to scale this to 3 or 4 dimensions, so you need to clarify 'density' ( of what exactly ? )
  3. Gravity ( Newtonian ), is a 1/r2 interaction between two centers of mass. IOW, You would feel the same gravitational 'tug' from 1000 tons of feathers as you would from 1000 tons of lead, at a distance of 1000 km. frm their center of mass. The density of the feathers and lead don't warrant consideration at all. Is you are using density in some other non-standard way, you are completely baffling us as to what you mean, and, most likely also confusing yourself. Try explaining in the simplest terms possible, without the pictures and pseudo-technical wording. What does "base with density condensation power as exponentiation along with division" or "uniform density condensation" even mean ???
  4. British milk chocolate ? Never heard anyone say good things about any British foods. Maybe Swiss, Belgian, German or Italian chocolate. Even the Polish chocolate from the Deli next door is great. But what do I know; I only like dark chocolate.
  5. So, if you 'make up' imaginary data, we can't say "No. That's impossible." ?
  6. Just doing my part. ( but I don't like it ) I was told, by a Scottish friend, that Cardhu is made in a distillery where only women work, but Wikipedia doesn't mention it, so I'm questioning that information. Cardhu distillery - Wikipedia
  7. I remember the pronunciation; it's the spelling that gets me every time. Just noticed this ... I would think it would be in a chemical plant that makes Phosphine as well. However one previous plant manager ( who had an extensive scotch collection ) related that at the Solvay plants in Germany the are allowed beer in their lunchrooms.
  8. Is that what's called 'cancel culture' these days ? When someone points out the mistakes in your thinking ? Get over yourself !!! The universe's temperature is slowly decreasing as it expands. At some point, the universe was cool enough for electrons to combine with protons to form Hydrogen atoms, and not get immediately kicked away because the temperature can no longer supply the 13.6 eV ionization energy. As this was happening over a period of time*, the universe's temperature stops decreasing, and plateaus, as each electron capture releases 13.6 eV into the environment. this, as Swansont explained, is why water stays at 100o, while boiling, or 0o, while freezing, until there is no more water. Does your arrogance and persecution complex make you think you can do complex Cosmology when you don't understand simple phase changes. - If it happened all at once, the CMB would be one temperature, and not 'lumpy' to a few parts per million. ( if you want to impress us, try to calculate duration of the recombination era, using the anisotropies of the CMB, and the expansion of the universe at the time )
  9. Southern Comfort is not bourbon; try Woodford SR . Scotch whisky is made predominantly from barley, aged in pre-used barrels ( for color and flavor notes ) and has a typically 'earthy' flavor, sometimes to excess like Lagavulin, Laphroaig, or Ardbeg ( I like Cardhu ). But American whiskey can be made from predominantly corn, in the case of bourbon, or rye grasses ( mostly in Canada ), aged in newly charred barrels, for the 'peppery,; golden rye whiskey ( which I dislike as it rots my gut ). Of them all, I prefer a smooth brandy or cognac, as I believe alcoholic drinks should be made from fermented fruits, but there are some good bourbons like Woodford SR ( hard to find now that Ontario has an embargo on American bourbon ), and some good scotches like Cardhu ( girlfriend's father turned me on to it over 30 yrs ago ), and my brother likes the 'peaty' scotches, so I'm acquiring a taste. I've even been known to drink good sipping tequila ( dark anejos like Don Julio or Clase Azul ), and my summertime mixed drink is vodka and soda with lots of lemon garnish. IOW, I don't care how it's spelled. He
  10. It's gonna mess up the flag. Hard to get 51 stars in a square grid array.
  11. As an external observer, I would say quite a bit of arrogance and a large chip on your shoulder ...
  12. Any motor that relies on oil for lubrication has to have an excess of oil to prevent oil starvation and loss of the film preventing metal to metal contact. A typical automotive engine that takes 5 l of oil per refill, will usually have 1 l circulating through the engine, while the other 4 l are in a baffled pan to prevent starvation of the pick-up when maneuvering. Now granted, an air compressor does little maneuvering, but it still has to show some level in the pan, while running, to prevent starvation. If there is none, but returns after shut-down, or on opening a 'bleed', it must be going somewhere. Maybe @Externet can put on a pair of safety glasses, and open the bleed while the compressor is running; if there is pressure ( or vacuum ), it may indicate piston ring blow-by, and the pressure will displace the oil. This is typical for an automotive engine, but a compressor might be more likely to pull a vacuum on the pan.
  13. I would suspect some seals are compromised, resulting in pressure\vacuum moving oil into places it shouldn't go, and when the fill plug is removed to equalize pressures, the oil quickly returns to the oil pan. You may need to disassemble to find the problem.
  14. Respect for the BBC, by the way, for having the integrity to apologize for their editing of D Trump's speeches, but not immediately offering up Millions ( or Billions ) to appease his petulance, as our American news outlets did.
  15. I stand by what I said. But I live in Canada, so what can he do ? Invade us and make us the 51st state ? Oh, wait ...
  16. Your algebra is inconsistent. That parses as mass2. It's simple, given P=density, M=mass, and V=volume P=M/V or M=V*P or V=M/P
  17. That's all I needed to hear you say, making this whole thread pointless. "The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the total disorder (entropy) of an isolated system always increases over time, meaning energy naturally disperses and becomes less useful." So, since some of the energy becomes useless, your system has to draw energy from external sources just to break even, or as you claim, to produce an excess of energy. You have made two contradicting claims, that you're not violating Thermodynamic laws, and that your closed system produces free energy; one of the claims has to be false. If you would like assistance finding the 'leak' that is introducing external energy into your system, I suggest you start a new thread, and ask nicely, because the rest of us know which of your two claims cannot be falsified.
  18. Just make sure my SFn account can't easily be traced back to any of my devices. I understand his Government has instructed border guards to search devices for disparaging comments about him. And they might find my comments about the demented, senile, lying, treasonous, war-criminal, pedophile, mean prick you guys call a President.
  19. More like 'group think'. People will never be useless; we are needed to be exploited. Billionaire owners of these sites are attempting to 'force-feed' us their world view. ( which is everyone is there to work for me and make me more money ) AI is simply the latest institution in a long line, designed so that a privileged few can take advantage of the many.
  20. I hope that doesn't mean you're going to go live by yourself in a cabin in the woods and build pipe bombs ...
  21. All fermions that make up matter are indistinguishable as they have no 'structure'. Further, other than Hydrogen, Helium and trace amounts of Lithium, they all originated during the evolution and violent death of stars. And there is no conservation law regarding matter; fermions can destructively annihilate, giving rise to photons conserving momentum. It is not the atoms themselves that are important, but their states and configurations, as the 'blueprints, for growth, decay ( age ) and evolution, are encoded in molecular groups that combine in various configurations of genetic sequences. When those configurations are lost due to external stressors, information is lost, and we break down ( age ) or get cancers ( abnormal growth ). Acquiring 'data' from other sources to replenish cells that have lost genetic information is unlikely as the sequences are incompatible. ( although some cells ( stem and T ) have the ability to re-purpose themselves a replacements for specialized cells )
  22. I can't remember if it was Oppenheimer who originally worked this out. You're right. The Event Horizon is always spherical.
  23. And those numbers and angles mean ... what ? You know, we can land on the moon, or fly to Mars and the outer planets with greater precision than that, yet we can't send irregularly shaped, rocky probes across interstellar distances. You would think those that can, would be more accurate. Soooo ... 'woo' or coincidence ?
