Hello Trestone, I see that you first posted a proposal for something called layer logic before I was a member. Today Search engines don'e sem to have given the idea much if any traction. So perhaps I can ask if the layer logic is anything like what is called the 'layer model' in computing ? I note your notation/presentation seems to be an adaptation of normal mathematics and (computer) programming. https://www.google.co.uk/search?source=hp&ei=U1nBXtulM5rAgwf3_LvIBw&q=computing+layer+model&oq=computing+layer+model&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQAzIFCCEQoAE6AggAOgUIABCDAToGCAAQFhAeUMQLWPwnYPAsaABwAHgBgAHoBIgBliOSAQs0LjYuMi4yLjEuM5gBAKABAaoBB2d3cy13aXo&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwibm56qnLvpAhUa4OAKHXf-DnkQ4dUDCAg&uact=5

You're right. Well said. +1

Really? What about this?

What exactly is a 'graded time dilation field' ? Have you changed your thoughts since this? https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/gr-as-a-graded-time-dilation-field-in-euclidean-space.742809/ I'll do it for you. Marcus has just told the OP what he was told 7 years ago.

I note you use page 109 of one of Eddington's books as a supporting reference. In his later book, 'The Mathematical Theory of Relativity', Eddington refers to this page and provides the mathematical derivation of the formula shown. (pages 90 - 91) He also explains why the analog system is easier to calculate (he was a great calculator in the days before computers) and warns about the difference in coordinate systems employed in this analog and the local coordinate system of GR.

Polio is an RNA virus; more than one vaccine has been developed for it.

Obesity is a large risk factor for many medical conditions, both physical and mental. So it is surely not a surprise that a virus that attacks so many different parts of the body should be especially harmful in obese persons.

What is the ultimate beginning, middle, and inevitable destination of entities/objects/systems while in any equilibrium state as you said, also while in any type of relationship? Is there such an absolute and singular of entity/object/system that is absolutely independent of any type of relationship? Thank you for your reply. Sadly I didn't understand a word of it. Please explain to an idiot like me in simple baby steps how what you have said in any way answers my question ?

Take a pure liquid substance in a sealed container. What is the equilibrium state of the contents above the critical temperature? However I would admit that I was thinking about a ball perched on a hill top, rolling down to a bench partway down and at the valley bottom when I originally wrote that bit.

Science recognised many more types of equilibrium than the limited view you offer here. So Science distinguishes for instance stable, metastable and unstable equilibrium in one classification; static and dynamic equilibrium in another, further your system is stated to require two or more entities. What about the equilibrium of a single entity or system ? How does your assertion fit in with these ?

Interesting you should post this the day the BBC publishes this graph suggesting the opposite in the UK. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52361519

A really good bok for your purposes would be Ted Nield's "Supercontinent 10 billion years in the life of our planet." Ted is an expert in the subject, not a journalist. But the book is meant ofr interest amateurs, and you will find his explanations highly understandable. He answers your questions about many things including unbalance. But also critically why Atlantis could not have existed, and many other ideas from the past and today and into the future.

More or less, but the brain of course plays a major role. Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry if I was not clear enough, I don't think you quite caught my meaning. In Thermodynamics certain property variables such temperature are only defined (ie they only exist) if they have the same value for each and every part of 'the system'. A system that has different 'temperatures' in diferent parts does not have a temperature. I was suggesting that free will might be a similar property variable in the appropriate discipline. Not exact the same, but similar. So an entity that is capable if multiple different response to a single stimulus cannot then have 'free will', since part of that entity opposes the response or intent of another part.

Is the question of Free Will capable of simple rational analysis, leading to a simple yes or no type answer? We are historically and culturally conditioned to seek simple answers. Indeed we often abstract a quality or property from the world around us to attribute to something with varying degrees of success. Is the world round ? Leads to the abstraction of a perfect circle. Did we really mean a perfect circle or would a lesser 'roundness' do? What is the temperature of that bar of steel? Classical thermodynamics (and common sense) requires that bar to have one uniform unique temperature for the question to have meaning. One end in ice and the other in a furnace will not do. In part our success in answering such questions depends upon our ability to abstract, isolate and encapsulate such qualities and their definitions. So back to Free Will. Is this a thing like thermodynamic temperature unformly possessed of the whole organism or being ? Does it have to be possessed by each and every instance of that organism Could you put you hand into red hot coals or seize a bar or red hot iron. Some people have been know to do this, but others not. Does part of the being fight 'free will' of another part ?

There was a short but heartening article on tonight's 10 O'Clock local News . The University of Bristol has developed a new class of totally artificial vaccine and has one ready for trial against Covid-19. The explanation given was that they have developed a suitable base molecule to attach fragments of the covid virus to, in order to fool/stimulate the body's defneces into producing the necessary antibodies.

Mass density ? What theory would that be? The average density of Earth is about four times as great as that of Jupiter, yet the gravity of Jupiter is nearly three times as great as that of Earth.

First and foremost, you are answering the wrong question. The proposal in this thread was not to about flood alleviation per se, but transporting some of the (flood) water from areas where there is excess to areas where there is deficit. There is no requirement for total flood alleviation. Having said that, the two can be linked or combined. Yes there have been proposals, some of which were implemented for extended perdiods of time even several thousand (up to 5,000) years ago. The Harappan ciivilisation was a good example which controlled the waters of one of the great rivers of the world on its flood plain. More recently, the Romans are famous for their aqueducts, some of which are still in use. As I said, there is another point of view and dams are not the only engineering solution (although the Nile flooding has been reduced by such dams in additions to the extension of irrigable land). More recently the Chinese are working on projects to control the waters of another great river. Do you therefore think the Dutch should all move to another country ?

Yes indeed, but there is another viewpoint about this, other than defeatism.

+1 But just think of the business opportunity. Someone is offering to buy your half of the great lakes for more than you value them as.

So would I.

A very good point that also applies to other nations right across the globe. I wish others would think like you. My view is there is a lack of politcal will / organisation not a lack of physical resources to achieve this. If you were dying of thirst in the desert which would you value more A pint of water or a ton of gold?

In the meantime some good news, especially for the OP. Free Fish and Chips for all. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-52047985

I was not thinking about patient treatment, either giving them sunburn or cooking them. I was really thinking about decontamination, for instance whether to turn the washing machine temperature up or expose stuff to the strong sunlight we have at the moment. And I was tryi g to fit into Hypervalent Iodine's one of three threads as requested.

Thank you. +1
