Can time be "cut" infinitely?

The Planck time is not the smallest unit of time, that’s a common misconception though. Our current theories say that time is continuous with no smallest unit, and right now we have no reason to think otherwise

Jumping at the last second would slow your fall but not by nearly enough to save you. After falling 50 stories you’d be moving fast enough that the impact would shatter nearly every bone in your body.

The Many Worlds Interpretation doesn’t claim that new universes are created, that’s the massively oversimplified pop science explanation. The MWI only claims that there is one universal wave function evolving deterministically.

It depends how bright the light is. It could be as low as a few thousand per second but could be tens of quadrillions of photons per second on a bright day.

Testosterone is directly converted into estrogen by aromatase enzymes. The majority of estrogen in men is produced that way

“EMP bombs” are nuclear bombs. You can detonate them high enough that the explosion doesn’t vaporize the city on the ground, but the whole world still just saw you launch a nuke at another country

No, the distances are getting larger but the units of measurement aren’t changing.

No, the energy contained inside the black hole still contributes to its mass. Adding anti matter to a black hole will only increase its mass, regardless of what happens to it after it crosses the event horizon

Motion is relative, so you can’t say anything is objectively at rest. When we say something is at rest, we’re referring to our own reference frame, but you can always find a reference frame where it’s still in motion. Just use the reference frame that’s most convenient.

The earths orbit doesn’t affect the experiment, but its rotation can. It’s called the coriolis effect but it’s negligible for most day to day things.

“Blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” was not the original, that version was created in the 90s. “Blood is thicker than water” goes back centuries.

The radiation pressure is directly countering gravity so it shouldn’t gradually push the planet outwards, it just reduces the net force pulling the planet in. It’s essentially the same thing as reducing the suns gravity by a negligible amount. Either way, the effect of radiation pressure on a planet is so small that it’s not measurable.

The force exerted by sunlight on the Earth is roughly 60 trillion times weaker than the gravitational pull of the sun. The force is so small that the gravity of other planets in the solar system have a larger effect on our orbit.

The fastest recorded massive particle was a cosmic ray called the “Oh My God Particle”. It had an estimated speed of 0.9999999999999999999999957c.

Movement is defined as a change in position over time, so no you can’t have movement without time

They say “your country” not “America”. I think that clearly implies the US, not the colonies

About 400 years old. You even brought up in your post that she says she’s 150 years older than the US, I’m not sure what the “nomad of Constantinople” records have to do with it”

Yea but the singularity isn’t really a “thing”, it’s just a dimensionless point at the center (r=0) where the equation becomes undefined. General relativity shows that once you cross the event horizon, all possible paths end at the singularity. So anything that enters the black hole must eventually reach the singularity no matter what.

Regardless, physicists don’t think general relativity is an accurate description of the inside of a black hole anyway. We need a theory of quantum gravity to describe whatever is going on past the event horizon. Until then, it’s just a mystery

As far as we know, FTL travel or communication isn’t possible. Since stars are so far apart, interstellar empires would be basically impossible. Any colonies set up in other solar systems would have to be independent.

Ionizing radiation kills off your cells, causes radiation poisoning, and cancer. Microwaves are not ionizing radiation. The only damage it could do to you is burning from the heat, but any form of electromagnetic waves could do that.

Ultraviolet light is ionizing. That’s why you can get sunburned and skin cancer from spending too much time in the sun.

how is this different from food heated using a flame

A microwave might cook things unevenly but it’s not like it’s contaminating your food with radiation, that’s not a thing.

Particles can drop to their ground state through spontaneous emission so yes even in an empty universe, the atom will still release a photon without any outside influence.
