MMotore reacted to Bandersnatch's post in the thread Graduate How can a 1 kilometer body (3i/Atlas) flip 180 degrees suddenly? with
Like.
Oh, lordy. It's Avi Loeb's brainchild. I'm not touching this. -
MMotore reacted to Dale's post in the thread Undergrad Why is thermal energy treated differently than other kinds of energy? with Like.
That isn’t surprising given how poorly written your original post was. This one was much better These equations are incorrect. The...

MMotore reacted to jbriggs444's post in the thread Undergrad Why is thermal energy treated differently than other kinds of energy? with Like.
No, that is not the frame that I implicitly chose. The table does move with respect to the table+book COM frame. The frame that I had...

Skeptical.
Mathematical tautology means that the 2nd law of Thermodynamics can accommodate anything through post hoc rationalization i.e., it... -
MMotore reacted to johnthekid's post in the thread High School Individual photons or electrons on a screen? with Skeptical.
Therefore, the dots are just effects of the interaction between the photons or electrons with the atoms of the screen or did we finally...

MMotore reacted to A.T.'s post in the thread Undergrad Light clock treating horizontal and vertical motion differently? with Like.
What is "conforming to objective reality" supposed to mean here exactly? Physics makes quantitative predictions, which are compared to...

MMotore reacted to Dale's post in the thread Undergrad Light clock treating horizontal and vertical motion differently? with Like.
Indeed. So when we find that our concepts do conform to objective reality we can reject the assumption that they are imaginary. In...

MMotore reacted to foxeamonn1969's post in the thread Undergrad Light clock treating horizontal and vertical motion differently? with
Sad.
re : michelson-morley experiment. As long as the experimental apparatus is in contact with the ground, it becomes an attempt to detect... -
MMotore reacted to FreeResearcher's post in the thread Undergrad Rotation curve in spiral galaxy velocity and uniform velocity dispersion with Skeptical.
Entropy is not an additional form of mass, but in some approaches it can produce an effective extra acceleration at low accelerations...

MMotore reacted to Line_112's post in the thread High School Contradictions in the Distribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts with Skeptical.
Galaxies can appear and die. But overall, what we call the Universe must be much older than 13 billion years, since otherwise many...

MMotore reacted to Line_112's post in the thread High School Contradictions in the Distribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts with Skeptical.
Even ignoring the Milky Way's disk, the map doesn't have a very isotropic distribution. I've already learned intuitively to recognize...

MMotore reacted to Line_112's post in the thread High School Contradictions in the Distribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts with Skeptical.
The lack of weak bursts in the overall statistics is easily explained by the fact that, given a constant gamma-ray burst power, most of...

MMotore reacted to Line_112's post in the thread High School Contradictions in the Distribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts with Skeptical.
But the weakest flares no longer pass through the scattering medium of the galactic disk. Therefore, their number at the equator should...

MMotore reacted to Ibix's post in the thread High School Contradictions in the Distribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts with Like.
Indeed. That's why he needs to do some maths. Gamma ray scattering by the interstellar medium is a key plank in his belief - he needs it...
