Yes, you could, however it's more than just a change of coordinate systems, because it's not an inertial frame of reference. It's a frame of reference that's constantly accelerating. To make matters worse, the acceleration would be constantly changing. The complexities of working in such a frame of reference would be unmanageable as well as completely unnecessary. And that's the reason you wouldn't pick it.
Of course, the reason why stellar parallax proof was so long in coming was because the stars were so much further away than anybody suspected, making the parallax incredibly tiny. What really convinced people was how simply it explained planetary motion (as opposed to the impossibly complex epicycles of the Ptolemaic system) combined with the discovery of Jupiter's moons, which, while not in itself a proof of the Copernican system, was proof that not everything revoled around the Earth.
It couldn't be anything other than theater. I can demonstrate why it has to be theater with one example of where this concept is actually implemented: Twitch Plays Pokemon.
And brief google shows that while there's not Visual Mumps, programming Mumps using Visual Studio is definitely a thing. And much to my horror, there used to be a Visual APL. And a Visual FORTH.
Y2.038 is a UNIX thing. While there are certainly COBOL programs running on UNIX, I suspect most have been ported there. How many are actually using time_t?
Yes, it's not really all that dangerous. But movie makers aren't interested in what's real--they're interested in what's exciting. They're perfectly prepared to depict ATC as having planes falling out of the sky with any failure, because that'll make for a movie that'll pull in an audience.
That being said, Beijing is located is a small depression and that results in all the heavier particles in the air hovering over the city instead of dispersing over a larger area.
LA has much the same problem, which is why LA smogs have become so famous. Still, they've had some success cleaning it up.
Er, Europe and America used to be shitholes like that. They succeeded in cleaning them up without curbing immigration, and China itself does not have a large amount of immigration, so apparently immigration doesn't have much to do with it.
In fact, the hogshead is a valid unit for measuring the amount of tobacco you have. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogshead) So you can have your Simpson's quote and eat it too.
Two problems with that: a) the user of the UI is not the viewer of the movie. They have different needs--what information is relevant is largely different. and b) "feeding relevant information" is only half the core functionality of a UI. The other half is providing effective control, which is completely irrelevant in a movie's simulated UI.
Video game UIs are often very good, if flashy. They have to be--they're actually used, and used by people who want good performance.
Simulated UIs in movies and TV, on the other hand, just have to look good, and feed whatever plot information is relevant to the audience. This means things are done that really wouldn't work in a real UI. That's why attempts to turn Star Trek's "LCARS" interface into a real UI have fallen on their faces.
Since mitochondria are not little coalmen shoveling food into furnaces,
Well, yes. Yes they are. They are extracting energy out of food by oxydizing it; its the same basic chemical reaction as burning it, only the mitochondria are doing it more slowly. Which is why determining the caloric value of food by burning it is in fact a valid, if approximate, method.
Dude, Japan sits to the east of Korea, and Japan's timezone is GMT+9:00.
Since this was posted AC, I thought I'd repeat it, because he is correct. Japan Standard Time is GMT+9:00 and so is Korean Standard Time (which is technically a different time zone followed in Korea with the same offset. Neither uses Daylight Savings Time). The half-an-hour back to GMT+8:30 moves the local noon of the time zone to the west, which makes sense.

And if he's totally ignorant, how does he know somebody "really knows this stuff"?

Being the doomed moral victor sounds pretty good. I'll take that one. Maybe I can persuade enough people to join me.
Actually, I agree with this for both Islam and Christianity.
It's obviously a good place to hide a body, since they aren't being found for centuries, or even milennia.

You're both right--it was an alicorn! Nothing but the best for our Glorious Leader!
