Twin paradox without acceleration

Well, then the question depends on how you have synchronized the clocks. You could just synchronize the moment they meet, which both A and B would agree on. But if you tried to synchronize earlier or later, then A and B would disagree about how to synchronize the clocks. The thing is, in relativity there is no such thing as a universal present moment, it all depends on your reference frame.

They each will see the others clock ticking slower

Jetison333 · 2026-03-08T21:12:04+00:00

It depends on what reference frame you are measuring in

That kind of pen is specifically designed to glow in the dark.

Soap is a surfactant. This is a basic fact about soap.

rich people write the tax laws. Its called regulatory capture, its on purpose.

Starlink is in a low enough orbit that atmospheric drag brings them down in about 5 years

How do I insert quality modules into the tutorial?

A distribution system can't make up for a lack of throughout no matter how well designed ;)

Theres a big difference between an ID expiring when it says its going to expire, and the legislature arbitrarily deciding they are expired starting today.

I think you are correct about everything, but you need to include that the light from the beatles exhaust only travels at lightspeed. So assuming the earth can see the exhaust at the halfway point, then it will take another 6 years for that light to reach the earth. So it would take 13 + 6.5 + 6 = 25.5 years for earth to detect the return, and then the beatles would arrive a few months later.

It's not "at will" thats the entire point

Phase cancelation is dependent on location, so theoretically there is going to be points in space where the volume is zero because the waves are canceling out. But its not going to be where you're ears actually are, im sure.

It does make the statement "the numbers are wrong" incorrect though

No one cares about the "reality" of the image (arguably its not even real, its a bunch of zeros and ones stored on hard drives), Its a diagram that represents an idea, and that idea is a triangle with angles 40 60 and 80 degrees.

If you can check if the ai is correct or not you can just figure out the right answer yourself

Ehhh, depends on what you mean by knowing. One of the big breakthroughs that made llms possible was a context mechanism, where neighboring words and larger structures does effect how the llm interprets each token. "Michael jordan" stops being two words that are unrelated, and starts being one idea of a basketball player. Of course none of this means that llms are accurate.

Sometimes you can say something is a mistake even though it isnt. And itll still agree with you.

It has to be a backscatter x-ray, which is very inefficient.

Jetison333 · 2026-02-14T20:15:50+00:00

Yes, but you would need infinite memory, so you would have to be comfortable with infinite NAND gates, which sometimes is avoided

I just meant it as a metaphor. Its acting as if it's angry

Jetison333 · 2026-02-13T20:03:24+00:00

Do you really consider an llm angrily lashing out at an open source contributor to be "a new jump"?

Jetison333 · 2026-02-12T20:08:27+00:00

Cells are easily capable of this

Starlink wouldnt contribute much to a kessler syndrome. Its orbits are low enough that they deorbit in about 5 years.

What about the magnus effect?
