OK, I read the link ( although I do know the difference ) The line you quoted is from a posed question. A given answer provides the quote "Now you really shouldn't think of entanglement as exchange of information, because it happens instantaneously and it is impossible to transmit information instantaneously. Again, it is also impossible to transmit information instantaneously by collapsing the superposition."

I know what you are trying to say, but that sentence is misleading to the average person. There is no exchange of information.

That's why they were not especially good jokes, TheVat. A joke shouldn't need that depth of analysis.

Even though Canada is over 80% ( 83 % for 1st dose ), apparently a lot of people still think vaccination is too much of an imposition on their rights and freedoms. At the current time, several thousand heavy trucks are converging on Parliament hill, in Ottawa, to protest vaccination mandates. The truck connection is the requirement for truckers crossing the border to make deliveries to be vaccinated, whether entering Canada, or the US. Apparently J Trudeau, our Prime Minister, didn't think it was enough to claim he had been exposed to someone who tested positive, and would be in isolation; he actually left the Capital for an unknown location, fearing a US style, Jan 6, insurrection. Police presence is heavy, but this is Canada, I don't think there will be any serious trouble. Still, the ignorance of these protesters baffles me. Maybe, instead of doing it one group at a time, the Government should have passed laws making vaccination mandatory for all ( exceptions for age and medical reasons ). That way, specific groups would not feel as being specifically targeted. Not that I see any sense in any of this, but what do Confederate flags have to do with Canadian protests ????

Someone, who is now a 1/4 inch 'shorter', must be overly sensitive to circumcision jokes. They were not relly good jokes, but I don't think Mistermack deserved a downvote for them.

Absolutely right. I've never seen Genady get 'crabby'.

I agree, we in the West havemade the same mistakes when dealing with 'terrorists'. Implementing a 'thought police' is never a good idea. Then again, Uyghurs are not sent for 're-education' because they are thinking of terrorist acts, but, simply for thinking 'differently'.

If things worked as you assume, Edgar, you would not need 'vents' on the high pressure side to reduce pressure and restore position. As the one side gets forced farther away by your imaginary high pressure, the opposite side would move closer, and as a result, experience higher pressure which would restore position. But, of course, it doesn't happen that way in reality.

That doesn't change the fact that 'thoughts', appropriate or not, are NOT a crime; only inapproriate actions are.

Yes. Just ask Donald Trump ...

On the one hand you have states like Wisconsin, who send all underage teens to adult jail for almost all crimes, and on the other, you have the current situation in California. Hanna Tubbs, a 26 year old biological male ( who after being arrested identifies as female ), walked into a rest room and sexually assaulted a 10 year old girl, 8 years ago, when Tubbs was 17 years old. The LA county DA, has decided in his wisdom, that since Tubbs was a juvenile when he/she committed the crime, he/she will now serve his/her sentence in a juvenile correctional facility, with underage females, even though he/she is now 26 years old. Hannah Tubbs: Woman convicted of sexually assaulting 10-year-old will serve sentence in L.A. County juvenile facility - ABC7 Los Angeles Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this ? Is it time for America to have a federally controlled Justice/Penal system, somewhere in the middle of these radical right wing, and left wing, extremes ?

That's nothing; you should see some of the other sh*t they get up to. Doesn't say much for the idiots that keep re-electing these boorish morons.

That was 15 years old; not 115. My bad.

Yet you pay licensing fees to put your vehicle on the road ... Motorists pay many more taxes, from gasoline taxes to tire taxes, and the fact that they go into a general slush fund, and not a dedicated 'road' fund makes little difference to the fact that cyclists and pedestrians do not.

Not sure if I understand the OP's position, but it also seems to me that the onus is increasingly being placed on motorists to 'safeguard' pedestrians and cyclists who choose to share the roadways ( which are paid for by vehicular taxes ). Cyclists will travel on the opposite direction as traffic, will not stop behind the last vehicle, and pass on the right. Pedestrians walk, in either direction, on plowed roads in the winter when sidewalks aren't cleared, and often don't even look anymore before crossing roads. Motor vehicles are least able to stop, or change direction, quickly, yet are always 'at fault' only because they are seen as a bad thing, especially by big city dwellers who can make do without personal transportation

I remember visiting Italy in 1975, when I was 115 years old, and constantly hearing Domenico Modugno's last big 'hit' Didn't really appreciate it much ... at the time.

I tend to agree with TheVat. Nobody ever seems to 'call out' Chinese officials, and their comments, for fear of 'offending' them. This guy just warned the US that there will be a military conflict, if, the US gets involved in China's military conflict to retake Taiwan. Well, then don't start one.

Quick, hit the mute button on that video clip. Jimmy Page has loaded a gun, and is putting it to his head. 😄

Oh, I don't know. Isn't it just like playing the lottery ? The two possible outcomes are , you win, or, you lose. And since there has to be one of the two outcomes, your chances of winning are 1 in two. have I been deluding myself all this time, playing the lottery, when my chaces of winning were much, much, smaller ? 😄 😂

Like INow and Genady, I suspect the problem is the many levels of 'translation'. The ideas have to be translated to language in one person's brain, according to his/her own personal cipher. This language then has to be translated back into ideas by the listener/reader, according to his/her own, totally different cipher. And that is when only two people are involved in the exchange of ideas. I would imagine an exponential increase in difficulty when more people are involved. When you learned English, Joigus, did you first translate the English language to your native Spanish, before further translation to 'ideas' ? ( both you, and your teacher did a great job, by the way ) I have been speaking English for ovr 50 years, but to this day, when I perform simple math operations ( +,-,/,* ) in my head, I do so in my native Italian. ( always thought that was a little weird )

I thought he did. Are you actually reading the replies ? Is your animosity towards people who arrive at differing conclusions after proper analysis, clouding your reaing comprehension ? ( no, I didn't give you a down vote )

It is vacuum energy, which drops after the Big Bang event as the universe evolves. It has symmetries which we no longer see, and at some point it reaches a low but unstable energy. Then a symmetry break enables the break up of the Electroweak force via the Higgs mechanism, and its associated field results in mass for its bosons ( and all leptons ) I like to picture a pencil dropped from a height, that lands on its tip; low energy, but symmetric ( rotation ) and unstable. At some point, symmetry is broken and the pencil falls over. No longer symmetric, with a specific direction, but at even lower, or true, minimum energy.

There was a science fiction story I read a long time ago, where the alien overlords of Earth were called the Triz. The human resistance consisted of telekinetics who could open wormholes from the Sun to the Earth, or even stop time. It was written IIRC,by an author of Russian origin, who liked to dabble with early computer projects ( even published in Popular Computing magazine ) but I cannot recall his name. Whenever I attempt a web search for this novel, I keep getting links for this TRIZ researchmethod.

Seems simple enough to me ... It is Australia's house, and they have the right to determine who they let in. And yes, they even have the right to change their minds.

No, the 'laws of nature' are perfectly fine, even at the center of a BH. What 'breaks down' is our mathematical model, our ability to describe those 'laws of nature'. GR is the model that breaks down, at those scales and mass/energy levels, but keep in mind that we also describe the concept of infinities using a mathematical model, and although much less likely, maybe our mathematical model is not applicable to this type of infinity, and new maths are needed.
