I gotta admit I loved this line I haven't a clue what you mean by it ( or maybe you haven't a clue ). I think you should discuss this with John John in the "Photons and Light" thread. Apparently there is no light, no double slit, no diffraction pattern and no detector/observer; it is all just electrical signals to the brain.

There is no meat, just electrical signals to the brain.

The 'big books' of science are are factual and explain the science as we understand it. If you think they are complicated then you obviously don't understand them, and, as a result, you are confused. Have I have made it simple for you to understand ?

Disappeared/eroded ??? Old circuit boards with copper traces, a thousandth of an inch gold plating, and old tin solder on top, are regularly sent overseas, where they reclaim the gold plating. Gold Recovery : 8 Steps (with Pictures) - Instructables So obviously it does not disappear.

It is not a causation but a correlation. The same uneducated, southern, 'white trash', rednecks who are easily taken in by D Trump/Republican lies and disinformation, are also easy prey for organized Religion.

I believe I already stated that ... Jowever the value od that dollar is clearly defined in that particular country's currency at any money exchange location. Ot might differ slightly from day to day as exchange rates usually do, but its value is defined. Same with oil and Gold prices. And the intrinsic value of Platinum is not its use in a catalytic converter, unless that use is defined also. If the defined use is not considered, the only value any object has, is related to its unchanging properties, like mass, color, shape, etc. There, now I've become pedantic also.

+1 INow, only because there's a cat involved, and she looks like my BB.

Speaking of pedants ... 😄 😄

The terms intrinsic and extrinsic have well define meanings. The intrinsic value of an object is defined by the object itself. A one dollar bill has a specific intrinsic value. So does an ounce of Gold, or a barrel of oil. If the value of an object is determined by external conditions and circumstances ( to the object ), then its value is extrinsic. CharonY's glass of water has extrinsic value determined by how thirsty the person who wants it is. And art, of all kinds, and using this 'broad' definition certainly falls into the extrinsic category. As a caveat, you could make the argument that all value is extrinsic, because even dollars, Gold and oil values fluctuate due to market demands, but I will not be that pedant.

God, and Jesus, are not 'conservative' or 'liberal'. Neither is the bible. You cannot have a scientific discussion about Religion or the Bible; science is based on evidence, Religion is based on 'faith', no evidence needed. Neither can you discuss Religion in terms of Politics, although Religion often gets politicized, with political movements claiming God is on their side, in order to justify oppression, wars, etc. This thread should have been shut down long ago, as one side is arguing with evidence, the other with faith ... ( I would be even more strict than Swansont as a moderator 😄 )

Whether copper silver or gold, once the alloy is formed with tin, no further 'dissolving' takes place; that's why I suggested keeping the tip well tinned. I would hope you realize that circuit board traces and pads are copper with a very thin anti-oxidization gold covering. Do the pads 'dissolve' when you solder a component on them ???

Seems everybody was for respectful discourse, but they had to 'cut to the chase' with their opinions of your posts.

@nec209 You are basing your arguments on religious texts ( the Bible ) and doctrine, which we don't do here. What we do is discuss the scientific aspects of religions. If you wish to discuss any particular religion's concepts of 'good; and 'evil' as well as other moral aspects, I might suggest a religious forum would be more suitable.

There is no point discussing photons unless you want to discuss Quantum Mechanical aspects of the interaction. As Studiot has suggested, everything you have inquired about can be handled by classical models. Why complicate matters and confuse yourself.

Why ? Copper works just fine as long as you keep it tinned. The material composition of the tip is not as important for heat transfer as the liquid tin coating. ( and always use good rosin flux, especially when doing work on surface mount components )

Hey ! Wait a minute. Is she letting him "grab her by the pu*sy" ? Actually, I should show some respect; hopefully, she's the next American President.

I wasn't disagreeing with you Mordred; just trying to relate unitarity to the BH information paradox, as it pertains to the OP, in terms Airbrush would understand, without taking an advanced course in QM.

This is just 'wordology' Airbrush. Similar to finding number 'patterns' on numerology. You would make a great conspiracy theorist 🙂 .

Whoah! That is 'rough and gritty'. Unitarity simply means that the measured state of a system can be related to previous states by a unitary operator. Thus QM implies that information cannot be lost through time evolution of states. Not even beyond the Event Horizon of a BH.

I made no assumptions. He stated I haven't taken a keyboard apart since they became 'disposable'. Long ago the key matrix was decoded by a microcontroller ( usually i8748 ) and its internal ROM would output ASCII codes. Until the early 90s I cut my computing teeth on Sinclair machines, Big Board CP/M, Atari STs and Amigas ( still tinker with ST and Amiga hardware because non surface mount components are easier to see/work on). Built my first PCs in '94 when the Win95 hoopla started. Three Pentium 166 machines with 32MB RAM, 2GB mechanical drives, and a 1st generation ATI 3D 'decelerator'. One for me, one for my brother's 5 yo son, and one for my sister's 6 yo son and 4 yo daughter ( who now won't go near anything that isn't Apple/Mac )

He was already 'all in' on being an asshole.

The keyboard is laid out as a matrix of intersecting lines. Hitting the 'R' key closes a contact between the row and column lines and a value is sent , in hexadecimal format, to an 8 bit processor in the keyboard, which then serializes the ASCII code for 'R' and sends it, through a USB channel to the computer's USB decoder which converts it back to parallel binary data again, so it can be read by the CPU. No processing is to be done on this data, so it is placed in the common area of main memory ( RAM ) where it can also be accessed by the display processor. The display processor changes the binary data into a bit map and places it in the display buffer, adding any attributes that may be required for the specific windows display environment ( color/intensity ), and the display buffer is then serialized again to be output to a monitor, along an HDMI channel, to be 'drawn' on the LED/transistors of the screen matrix, one row at a time, until the whole screen is 'painted' at a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and the letter 'R' is displayed in that window. The Operating system, Win10 in this case, is responsible for setting aside the part of main memory that corresponds to the display buffer, and the particular subset that is the contents of that window. Do you really think you understand it better now ? Unless you learn the basics, you don't have a chance of understanding.

Further to the points Mordred brought up, is anyone even using the EFE to analyze galaxy rotation curves ? The discrepancy is readily evident when using the Newtonian model for gravity ( which I realize is also an approximation so possibly subject to similar errors ). As a matter of fact, one proposed solution is MOdified Newtonian Dynamics ( MOND ), but as you state, that has significant issues. And it's not because Non-Idealized General Relativistic Dynamics (NIGRD ) doesn't roll off the tongue as easily 😄 .

He's already been forced to make bad moves, such as picking J D Vance for a running mate. Maybe he can 'zwischenzug' by getting shot again and gaining some sympathy votes.

Depends. I don't work in the computer industry, nor have ever taken any computer courses. I did take a half course in Electronics for Physics over 40 years ago, and did some programming , mostly FORTRAN, Basic, Pascal, Forth, C, and some Z80 assembly, but don't anymore, so I could be considered a 'layman'. And I understand that definition. Or did you think the definition was going to tell you everything you need to know about computers ?
