The space we and everything else is occupying today is where that 'source' was. Everything was at a single point(roughly speaking) before that became less dense.

Gravity
Not true Antigravity but there is acoustic levitation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_levitation

Youtube says the 2nd Law is Broken.
@sethoflagos You can read about an experiment showing this here: https://www.nature.com/news/2002/020722/full/news020722-2.html Second Law is true on average though, so you won't ever see a cup spontaneously unbreak or all the air move to one side of a room.

COVID-19 antivirals and vaccines (Megathread)
Look into macrophages.

COVID-19 antivirals and vaccines (Megathread)
Immune system may inactivate some via fever and eats any it finds, but you'll still have functional viruses floating around. Using vaccines to prep the immune system is better really.

Comparing Corona Virus Success Stories with Abysmal Failures
Be a tough sell. Mobility is so much a part of our identity that restricting it between the States would see people up in arms, even ignoring the costs and people migrating of necessity to seek work. I have a feeling the virus will have to be allowed to run its course with health services stuck handling the fallout.

What is your favorite tv series at the moment?
Same here Really captures the magic of the original trilogy.

Game Theory and Patriot Games
As my girlfriend is a big Patriots fan, helping you would result in a negative payoff for myself. Seriously now you're talking more about strategizing than Game Theory. Game theory is more along the lines of the Prisoner's Dilemma or outcomes of different simple evolutionary strategies.

What are you reading?
Not sure if it is exactly what you're looking for but the Belisarius Series is pretty great. Mix of alternative history, scifi and dystopian/utopian elements, set in the Byzantine period.

Landing on a black hole!!
If it doesn't have enough velocity to continue on past, matter ends up in orbit. Eventually via losing/gaining energy via collisions it either passes the event horizon or is ejected. Black holes are basically normal outside of their event horizon. You can treat them like any other star gravitationally. Still a monstrous amount of mass in a relatively small volume though. You're velocity causes you to orbit around the sun. If you could slow down, via a force in the opposite direction, you would fall into it.

Infinitesimals and limits are the same thing
Thank you. No, this is good. Know c causes math problems whereever it crops up. Literally a limit so not really surprising but... I'll keep hoping for a math advancement that allows a shift in perspective lol. Someday!
-
Infinitesimals and limits are the same thing
Then would they also be infintessimals? Hoping for an application of the research.
-
Infinitesimals and limits are the same thing
For time dilation(I think) someone here said something to the effect of c as the limit of it at one point.

Infinitesimals and limits are the same thing
Is this applicable to the lorentz transforms(c)?

HIV & AIDS
There is SIV found amongst our simian relatives. Mutated over a great deal of time. Somewhat unsurprisingly striking less developed countries harder.

Orch Or
At least the microtubule angle was found to be false. They're in every cell to boot. I don't really see the brain as needing anything nonclassical. More about having a simply massive number of connections. Rational Wiki has a good article on the subject. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Quantum_consciousness

What happened to the riverwall?
What's the metal(?) plate alongside the crack there?

Voluntary Blurry Vision?
I'm farsighted myself and it is no sweat wearing most other lenses. Many lenses are low magnification reading glasses or to correct for nearsightedness. Lenses to correct for astigmatism are still impossible for me to wear for any length of time. Farsighted = Objects further away but clear Nearsighted = Objects too close and blurry

Neanderthals Built a Water Reservoir
Yeah, I'm thinking water reservoir, to better retain/store water already seeping into the cave naturally. Probably was some kind of long gone mortar at one point.

Gun control, which side wins?
We're a visual species, so strongly react to blood, but bullets are more dangerous. Bullets are cutting, bouncing and shattering. Large amount of damage via the formation and collapse of the temporary cavity too.
-
Voluntary Blurry Vision?
Image is out of focus. ie. Fan in the background. ...and yeah, typically front of eye component issue. Lens, eye muscles, cornea. Too many photons(on their many many routes) can make clear vision impossible.

Artificial Gravity on the ISS
Ah, true. Would need to detach completely, which could cause issues as well.

Artificial Gravity on the ISS
^Hey! Welcome back Might one free to rotate about its axis work(ignoring fuel costs)?
-
Gun control, which side wins?
I see buybacks as helping gun manufacturers out. Guns last long enough that people resell them decreasing demand for new guns.
-
Gun control, which side wins?
The gun companies are somewhat dying already. If production dies down, we'd all at least be better off. Its the people with small arsenals and general widespread access that are killing us.
