The NG article is not worth reading. According to Introduction to Modern Cosmology by Liddle: The Big Bang model is reliable back to...

I started reading a National Geographic article related to the Big Bang. It starts these statements: Gazing up at the stars at night...

Our passage through time goes unhindered. Unless you're Phil the weatherman, you can't stop and redo today over and over. I would...

It's tied to the speed of light - so, in that sense, it "has speed". It has an apparent cause-effect directionality. You can use a clock...

Any atomic material can carry an electrostatic charge. Each side of the capacitors you described will have charge - so there are four...

Let me make sure you have some of the basics. Let's say that instead of two capacitors, you have two metal bars A and B, each with...

Are you also connecting A1 and B2 together? If it's not a full electrical circuit, the voltmeter will likely read zero. Also, this...

Did it say in the Reddit post what kind of vehicle that is and what kind of window treatment it has? Also, if you can still see the...

So, given these new observations posted above (and some related to the details of the window polarization), here's my heavily revised...

The particles are indistinguishable - but that doesn't help to explain the use of x^n - in fact, it gives another reason why x^n is not...

You are, of course, presuming that it's the same 'x' states for every particle. But given the context, that assumption is acceptable...

I have more info: Now that I have polarized glasses and there are cars in the lot, I can see something else: The windshields on many...

That new parking lot is now open - and I brought polarizing sunglasses - and the effect is still apparent. From ground level, there is...

Sorry for mis-attributing the quotes. I believe I have corrected them.

What the OP quoted from the podcast is correct. They are only using the qubit to capture a bit of information. They are using the...
