Without seeing this podium, I have no idea what it should be worth. It could be quite expensive. And at that, no one takes on the risk of exposure over a few thousand dollars in maximum kickbacks. There might be some incompetence, low level greed from the builder or even wasteful ego from the politician. But it is not some criminal kickback.
It is so goofy that this makes a bigger splash than the millions and billions of dollars that occasionally are poorly spent and less common, criminally spent.
Wouldn't it cause some sort of force locally at the atomic level all the same even for tightly coupled systems? They shouldn't feel the expansion as it is not a force from my understanding but just growth of space itself. But for example wouldn't the orbit around an atom be off just so slightly that it would need to expend some level of energy to correct for lack of better word.
Or do we think this does happen but the amount is so small that we can not measure it experimentally in any way.
Relax. It just some mildly funny idea to entertain that we are not all there is. Such as imagining the collective conscience of all humanity and animals makes up the real God. We just can't perceive it being inside the experiment.
Except you can not prove that we are capable of pondering this higher level of consciousness just like a cell is unable to ponder anything as we understand it. For all we know, this higher level of consciousness also has a Reddit equivalence and has provided the same response as you in that they argue our own level of consciousness has no capacity to ponder anything. Or at least it's definition of what it is to 'ponder'.
Maybe we are a single conscript in an infinite number of alternate universes that together with an infinite number of related and connected conscripts create some higher level of consciousness. Have you considered that?
Not sure it is higher. Last week a cop was ambushed and murdered and of the 50 plus comments, every single one of them were praising the murder. I see that kind of mentality far more here.
I think it might be hard to predict exactly but I I am bit with you. Those right leaning independents that don't like Trump are quite unlikely to vote for him regardless. But that known name may put Biden as their second choice.
Did you read the article? They think 3 people were making the salute. Suspect that might be hard to prove from pictures alone and a still can be just someone's arms raised like shown in the stock picture included. This is such a dumb article for clicks and certainly not world News.
This. Thanks for doing the math. The only way it makes any real sense is if you a have geographical features that can store the energy. Ie right near a mountain and a large body of water high up. And even with that, it often only makes economical sense at exsisting dams where you can pump the water back into the reservoir and the generation systems is already paid for and in place.
