I think it's by some kind of vague analogy with the Casimir effect. When you put two plates very close together, only virtual photons with a wavelength that fits between the two plates can exist there; all others are excluded. That makes the virtual photon "pressure" higher on the outside, so the plates push together.
For some reason I don't understand, this McCulloch guy says the same thing happens Unruh radiation and the observable universe. I don't get it either, since the edge of the observable universe isn't a physical barrier.
I had no idea seismology was such a covert field that you can't tell us which "major west coast university" you work at. Are you worried about receiving hate-mail from earthquake deniers?
The most likely cause of the wave is a low amplitude s-wave moving north from seismic activity...
...at the speed of light?
In the rush to find gravitational waves, it doesn't seem like the other, more plausible explanations have been ruled out.
Just because they didn't explicitly state "oh, and by the way, it definitely wasn't s-waves, we checked", doesn't mean they haven't done their job. They'd be there forever if they had to list everything it definitely wasn't.
No, there are people on YouTube who think they can run a 24fps film through an interpolating filter and get something that's on a par with native 60fps.
I think I read somewhere that the framerate might have something to do with it as well. Back in CRT days, you were really watching flickery still after still, whereas a modern TV gives a much permanent image, and in some cases it's automatically interpolated to be smoother, as well.
Not sure if that makes a difference to the mogs and mutts.
Your Phone Number Is All a Hacker Needs To Read Texts, Listen To Calls and Track You
Really? That's all a hacker needs?
By hacking into or otherwise gaining access to the SS7 system...
Oh. So "no" then.
Hey, did you know that all a hacker needs to read your emails is your email address? Oh, and the ability to hack into the server that hosts your mail and bypass all its security.
Just watch carefully. I did and noticed way too many incongruous or inconsistent moments.
I just watched carefully and didn't notice anything incongruous.
For example there's a moment when you see the hoverboard turn to the right with the pilot on top... the pilot literally doesn't move.
At what timecode? I didn't see any shot were the pilot literally doesn't move. What would you like to do as he flies 20m in the air - wave his arms around, maybe dance a jig?
I'm not sure why everyone's screaming hoax so vociferously. We've had jetpacks since the 60s. This is just a jetpack stuck under someone's feet instead of attached to their back.
It a fake, you can tell when some of the shots don't have water flying, and others that do, if not a fake explain why some of the shot have a mist below and others that don't?
Because his height above the water varies. Sometimes he's close enough to kick up mist, sometimes he isn't.
Alien 'Wow!' Signal Could Be Explained After Almost 40 Years
And? You've explained what the signal was, but could you not even give a hint as to the possible explanation?
Okay, so I read up, and it's something to do with some comets. I don't get why the guy has to wait for them to be in the same patch of sky before testing his theory, though.

I don't think the theory was suggested 138 million years ago.
Human Limbs Evolved From Shark Fins
Scientists believe human limbs evolved from the gills of sharks
Fins, gills, same thing right?
Second thing: we're not descended from sharks.

Where did the energy come from, to create huge, billowing clouds of dust coming from thousands of objects in FREE FALL?
Gravitational potential energy.
Why, what would you expect happen?
Look on YouTube. Plenty of videos of buildings collapsing, all with lovely billowy dust clouds.
If someone you loved was murdered and the person was just able to go away Scott free
We need to ask this Scott guy.
There are jungle book trailers that are 60 fps.
No, there are people on YouTube who think they can run a 24fps film through an interpolating filter and get something that's on a par with native 60fps.
You can't.

There is no difference between "literally thousands" and just "thousands".
There is if you consider that "thousands of" often gets used metaphorically as a synonym for "many."
I've told people about this thousands of times, but they literally never listen to me.

Here's another flight, single shot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
And possibly the same flight, certainly the same location, different angle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Command lines are by nature more intuitive than GUIs. They require you to learn

And, do you really think that if someone wants to use a drone to try crashing a plane, the regulation is going to stop them?
Might as well take that stupid "murder" law off the books as well, then, eh?
D'you know what, until said testing is done, I'm actually fine with "don't fly your drones near an airport, you twat."
And, actually, I'm fine with that afterwards as well.
