  • Wait, there are people who don’t? J/k but I like to pretend to kick the air as if I’m kicking a door open/down. I get looks, and I’m okay with that.

  • Consider this fact, some light waves like radio are large enough that a lot of matter is essentially invisible to their propagation; the radio waves just pass right by without any interactions. This becomes a similar problem when we try and measure such small quantum phenomena like zero-point energy. The quantum energy could be so small that they're invisible to our detectors, but are in fact still there - the two scales simple cannot interact in a measurable way. So, there'd like still be some quantum energy, just less and less until our detectors could not interact with the incredibly small quanta for measurement.

  • Thank you for sharing this video, turning on my light-saber and allowing me the high-ground.

  • Tried looking up some news on this - anyone have a reliable link?

  • This. NPR is even left leaning (I’m progressive), but Reuters and AP News, more often than not, seems the least bias - least.

  • Just about anything with “black,” or, “dark,” in its name, be very skeptical. 🧐 But quantum entanglement, that’s the good stuff. Only GR’s SpaceTime mechanics comes close to being as crazy.

  • This, 100%. Even when a case seems won, don’t give your opponent anything to muddy the water. I hope she owns this mistake and tightens her process.

  • Except for philosophers of physics…they tend to look, relatively stable.

  • No more impossible than any other precise quantum measurement. But that doesn’t have to be the goal post; indirectly making measurements, even on atoms worth of mass helps. Every time we change the setup, the mass, the temperature, the measurements, we can learn something new. Cast enough shadows from different angles and you’ll be able to model what’s casting the shadow. If you study condensed matter physics you’ll quickly learn there’s a lot to be learned and gained from indirect quantum measurements.

  • Sooo, less electoral points for Republicans? Tempting…

  • I either want a remake of Stealth or a sequel. It wasn't terrible, but could have been much better and a desired franchise....by me at least. Guess I'll go re-watch Macross Plus again...

  • For far too long people have been under the illusion that politicians try and debate in good faith and to some extent certain politicians do - Biden will spin facts into a better light or down play some issues; that's politics, right? But Trump is everything bad in politics and perhaps humanity, all wrapped into one. To give that a microphone is bad enough, but to think you can "debate" such a thing, should be someone's first and last mistake. It's pointless because there's no new perspective for Trump to bring to America's current situation; Biden knows this. In many ways, you either vote against Trump because you know what he is, or you vote for Trump because you believe what he wants you to know; he only brings "alternate facts," and again, Biden knows this.
