I don’t know if anyone else caught it, but this energy beam weapon requires megawatts. Meaning we’re going to have a nuclear reactor in space. IMO that’s a pretty fucking dumb idea, since it basically hands your enemy a dirty nuclear bomb they can drop on your head.
Since when did banks start doing neighborhood watch for dangerous individuals? Since when did forging a check correlate to “armed and dangerous”? Since when did banks like Wells Fargo, already well known for scamming their customers, need anonymous cowards to come to their defense?
I must have misread what you were saying in your prior post, though I would have trouble reading it differently. I do however think “science fantasy” is a valuable scientific endeavor, since it allows us to explore the boundary conditions and unexpected results of the models that have been developed.
Thanks for the cool video on how light “slows down” in a medium. If you watch it again there’s a bit of a catch, this page explains it in other words ( https://www.physlink.com/educa... ). As for your explaination of time dilation, I’ve never heard any physicists explain it that way. Here’s a great video on time dilation: ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=... )
Light may NOT “speed up” or “slow down” it always travels the speed of light. Likewise, relatively and the time dilation effects have been experientially proven. LIGO was one of the most successful experiments of our lifetimes and is bullet proof validation of general relativity. While it’s possible to go through life assuming you know better than the rest of humanity, all while depending on them for survival, it’s not a good look.
I didn’t read the article, but since the energy described would result in very short wavelength photons, wouldn’t the just pass straight through any solar sail?

Or since society as a whole carries the burden of treating diabetes, we’d renegotiate insulin prices to match the cost of production plus some premium. As it is, as the medical industrial complex has merged with debt markets and bankruptcy is no longer accessible due to BPACPA, the supply demand curve is in a divide by zero situation. Pharma literally charges as much as they can get away with while avoiding triggering a public revolution against them.
Likewise, if access to life saving medicine was a human right in America, and the profit motive for life-by-subscription removed, we would pour tons of money into curing any disease that was relatively expensive to treat. As is, pharma has zero motivation to cure anything and it’s not going to change until we collectively decide all Americans deserve better.
Does this mean you could theoretically vibrate an object out of orbit? The article suggests the effect could change the ticking of an atomic clock, so this effect apparently isn’t just imaginary for the phonons themselves. I’m assuming this effect is only gravitational and not inertial? Any actual physicists around who can speak to this?
According to this(http://timezonereport.com/?page_id=313) you’re almost correct. Doesn’t take an act of Congress, but instead they need to “Petition the Secretary of the Department of Transportation and request a change of time zone designation.” Which is much easier than getting Congress to agree on anything ever.
I’m not the biggest fan of Amazon, but their project to roll off oracle ended up successful and now they’re eating their own SQL dog food. Oracle is toast once AWS starts selling Oracle migration services at discount.
This will just make corporations even more obsessed with ever growing profits. Likewise, it will open up new pathways for insider trading and stock manipulation through self trading.
Same opinion. Seems contradictory that they would simultaneously describe her actions as those of as a super hacker, but then not question whether she's ever exhibited a level of technical knowledge to do something like this, or if she did do it she forgot to cover her tracks??? My guess is that there was some sort of relationship with faculty involved(very common) and they wanted her destroyed after the relationship turned sour and threatened their career. Whatever the nature of that relationship is, it seems she might be ashamed to go public with that information(probably a married man). But, hey, I'm just going off scant evidence and assumptions.
Slashdot isn’t going to do anything because no one works at Slashdot. They do the bare minimum to make the site function similarly to how it did in 1999. How hard is it to support Unicode in 2019? Yet here we are...
Why don’t communities vote on whether Waymo is allowed to drive in their town/neighborhood/street? Waymo could take the lead here and conduct the vote. Instead, they’re relying on lawyers, cops and greasy politicians, none of whom represent the people they’re charged with serving.
Too late. W7X, because the Germans actually gave a shit about innovation 20 years ago, despite “socialism.” Now they’ve got better healthcare AND energy.
Or they will, but instead of offloading the cost of keeping their secrets safe on governments, they’ll learn proper security. This would have the added benefit of protecting end uses of their products.
Unfortunately that’s not how quantum mechanics work. Just google why you can’t send information FTL and I hope it’ll make sense.
They would have to measure reflected photons, hitting an object could change the distribution of their quantum state, which would show up as decoherence against the background.
I'm on the deep left, but this bullshit makes me furious. Sure, we need a thriving unbiased and objective press, but Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc. ARE NOT INDEPENDENT. There is massive control by the state and wealthy globalists. They're here to convince you exploitation is in your best interest and the hyper wealthy deserve to keep their piles of gold.
Next he goes on to correlate free press with globalism. That we need the press to placate our worries about the undeniable, inevitable personal insecurity globalism will bring us. He is creating the narrative that to accept one, you accept the other. Both surprisingly honest and bullshit at the same time. Just say one point and please move on to the next.

Everyone accused of any crime is a flight risk by that logic...

This is exactly why we should privatize the justice system in the US. Clearly corporations are able to do better at everything... /* snark */
Would love to see citations about CFS or MS sufferers being imprisoned.

Blue shift. Each individual photon gains energy. The formula is pretty simple E=hc/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...

A broken clock is right twice each day
My interpretation was that it was always about giving your employer the best hours of your day.
