I agree there is a serious ethical dilemma. +1 Not just for thos edirectly involved but also for those who employ them or are in charge of them. Compare this situation with prison warders and prison governors and the prisoners themselves. Very similar ethical dilemmas exist here too. And how about soldiers with PTSD ? This whole thing runs wider in our society.

One thing you need to be careful of are electrical units and dimensions, because in some systems dimensionless constants exist, that are absent in others. Look up esu and emu units.

Thanks so the issue is much wider than just the patient. How does society ensure that the 'right' sort of person or persons makes the decision ? How far should the patient's wishes be considered ? If the patient's wishes are to be overridden, who will be there to see that the aptient's interests are served ?

Well at least you are prepared to consider the possibility of being to hasty. What do you know about units, dimension theory, and coefficients in maths and physics and the difference between them ? One thing is that different sets of both base units and/or base dimensions may be chosen which will make the actual values different.

I also asked what is your connection to this issue ? and About the doctor who would have to implement your scheme. Both of these had question marks at the end and have not been answered. In respect of that second question about the doctor, I have in mind a couple of incidents I know of. In one a doctor had to climb onto the steelwork of the Severn Bridge and cut off a limb from a trapped worker in order to free him. How do you think that doctor felt about that ? Secondly someone I was close to underwent compulsory ECT. Again it 'worked', but destroyed their creativity and turned them into a shell. Nor were the effects permanent. So let us discuss the ethics of such actions and the effects. not only on the patient but also the doctor(s).

So what about Reynolds Number ? I chose this one because it is probably the one most likely for you to have heard of, but there are plenty more. You can't get more physical than the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces which determines the flow regime.

Perhaps you should review your command of the English language. You can usually tell a question by the inquiring phraseology/tone of the words and the question mark at the end. Alternatively the questioner can phrase the question more politely. So please don't tell me that I haven't asked any questions in my own language.

So are we agreed that your train of thought was incorrect in stating that it requires Pi to have units ?

What about this phrase of mine leads to you think that I assumed anything at all ? And you still haven't answered my questions.

Please explain this apparantly unconnected response and answer my questions.

Let me ask you this simple question. What proof or evidence do you have to back this claim up ? I ask because your use of 'it must' and 'thus' means that you consider there is some Law that requires this. So please outline this Law. I observe that any worthy summary of Physics will contain a section on 'dimensionless constants' , such as Reynolds Number, which have no units but definitely affect that which they are applied to, in defiance of any requirement to the contrary.

How is that an answer to my comments ? What I do not understand is you connection to this issue or why you have abandoned answering in your previous thread ? I wonder if you have any idea at all of what a doctor goes through when treating a patient necessitates damaging them in some way ?

I asked you a very clear and simple question, in the hope that you would gain something from it. But you did not answer, instead choosing to hide any response in a flood of meaningless text. I will now ask another one. What is the difference between circular language and ontologically circular language ?

Oh. And there was I thinking that it would cause chicken little a great headache if it fell. 😄

Agreed +1 But my example would be "I am not well versed in this discipline, but I want to dictate the ethics of the way the real experts go about it" type of question.

That's playing with words. You can't have energy density without energy, which you claim emerges later. I could also say you can't have density without volume and therefore space either. In my opinion this conundrum is faced rather badly by all attempts to extrapolate backwards, including those claiming a big bang of some sort. I have never seen one that doesn't start hand waving when pressed. But then it is only one spectacular failure in a long line of such failures when over ambitious extrapolations are attempted, going back millenia yo mthe Bible trying to set the Earth age by adding up ages of a few named humans. By the way do you understand the difference between extrapolation and interpolation ?

And yet didn't you refer to energy density before everything else ? And isn't that a loop ?

Nah it's just in a time loop of its own. +1 😄

You may well be right about the funding. But promoting this issue by conventional methods doesn't seem to gain as much traction as social media pressure (groups) these days. Of course, letters, emails and so forth can easily be ignored (forgotten or lost) and only the sender is any the wiser. The pressure generated by the much more open and public social media seems more effective these days.

Really ? Then why is the title "An appeal to help........" and the first post states in bold, I am merely wondering about the effectiveness of writing to congresspeople. Which seems to me to be a clear statement of the objective of this thread. I have, at no point, attempted to discuss the effectiveness or otherwise of the technique as I don't know enough about it.

RFK has made this administration focus on the chronic disease crisis: Incoming trump admin with RFK signals new start for FDA It's what I was explicitly told by a staffer, and after my 9 months here in DC, it seems to be the way things work. The second comment seems irrelevant. Thank you for dismissing my questions so lightly. I am not american so I don't have first hand experience of writing to 'my' member of congress. But if my experience of writing to my elected reprentative in the UK is anything to go by, such a letter will just be ignored. So please answer the question I asked. How will this new regime force the medical suppliers to do anything ? It was rather rude to dismiss my example in such a way since those who directly suffered (and in some cases have died) when their voice (or letter) was silenced.

I note the self styled professor has been active since my post by hasn't deigned to answer my question directed at him about the 38% since he was the member who introduced that specific figure into a general statement about the effect of gravity on medicine. (Which I quoted). Thanks to those who pointed out that this is the gravity of Mars. My second point seems to have engendered knee jerk reactions to my second point, rather than discussing the only actual evidence we have about the effect of gravity on recovery outcomes.

It's a right question. I think because theoretical physicists uses only math, and do not consider the phylosophic problems of particles. They adopt, by default, particles in the absolutely empty space (Nothing), which is impossible condition. Thank you for your reply. But you didn't say what you think a particle is. So please tell us since that is crucial to your proposal. One further question, how does your model describe shadows ? What are they made of ?

In all honesty most of the would be Pi is something else brigade have actually latched on to some obscure (real or imagined) effect which has Pi in its definining expression. They then treat this as the definition of Pi, rather than the other way round, and claim all other uses are secondary or flawed. Again rather than introduce a new constant or parameter for their purpose. So I prefer to wait and see what mike has to say when he can add to (improve) his posting.

I see you are also a maths wannabe But of course there are units in maths - it is how we distinguish between length, area and volume and how they are handled, for instance. How about this famous identity ? [math]{e^{\pi i}} = - 1[/math]
