.Scott replied to the thread Undergrad Are Boltzmann brains predicted by our current cosmological theories?.The alternative would be for that spin (or whatever is being measured) to be preserved forever. The particles will eventually hit...

.Scott replied to the thread Undergrad Are Boltzmann brains predicted by our current cosmological theories?.I would say that it's not a "measurement" unless the quantum parameter of interest interacts with something persistent. (Of course, is...

.Scott replied to the thread Solvents for cleaning soap film?.Use warm water, then wait for it to dry. If you don't want to wait, use a hair dryer. Soap is very soluble in water. And the water...

.Scott replied to the thread Undergrad Are Boltzmann brains predicted by our current cosmological theories?.For an instant, I had this odd hallucination about a "PeroK".

.Scott replied to the thread Undergrad Are Boltzmann brains predicted by our current cosmological theories?.Welcome to these forums. You have created an interesting stew of physics topics. I'll start with your last question. I don't believe...

.Scott replied to the thread Calculators How does multiplication with 2's complement work?.When you multiply 2s-complement numbers, you need to do "sign extension" - and that is shown in the link you provided. I have provided...

.Scott replied to the thread Music Perfect Rhythm.I would say "wait - are you sure that's an untouched 'live version'?. You may not have done editing, but the studio almost certainly...

.Scott replied to the thread Graduate What researchers think of the Coriolis force.I usually call it the "Coriolis Effect", although wiki uses "Coriolis Force" as the title. I think its best to be able to see it both...

.Scott replied to the thread Alien life, probabilities, and interstellar propagation of human life.The same way parents do. They just speak the feeding words when they feed. The talk in the background. Toddlers have have used...

.Scott replied to the thread Alien life, probabilities, and interstellar propagation of human life.No problem here. If you offended me, my skin was too thick to notice.

.Scott replied to the thread Alien life, probabilities, and interstellar propagation of human life.That's what testing is for. The engines on the spacecraft can fail as well. You're presuming that people are more stupid than animals...

.Scott replied to the thread Alien life, probabilities, and interstellar propagation of human life.It won't be as good as a human caregiver. It might make lethal mistakes. They will learn to play with each other. I already posted...

.Scott replied to the thread Alien life, probabilities, and interstellar propagation of human life.That's just a problem in mechanics. If the baby has made it to term in the artificial womb, transitioning to "birth" means life in a...

.Scott replied to the thread Alien life, probabilities, and interstellar propagation of human life.AI won't do it. Engineers will. And I am getting less and less clear about how you use that term. AI is not "smart". If you think it...
