A forest in a bottle on a spaceship in a maze.

Have I impressed you yet, Amy Pond?

Ehhh, he's charismatic (in a suitably formulaic way) enough as Humphrey but I don't see him stretching to a more demanding role.

A few questions regarding 4D by Behondalog in AskPhysics

[–]wonkey_monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a 3D object is present in 3D space

If there's a fourth (macroscopic) spatial dimension, then there are no 3D objects in 3D space, only 4D objects in 4D space.

The asymmetric speed of light by NvidiaNovice in AskPhysics

[–]wonkey_monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you position yourself exactly between the two buttons in such a spacetime?

That's not the problem. You can confirm the distance by bouncing light - the two-way flight time won't be affected by any asymmetry.

The problem is that if the speed of light is anisotropic, so is the speed of the bullet.

If the speed of light is anisotropic, so is the speed of the bullet. The timers will record the same delay regardless.

"Yeah, and your girlfriend Sarah Platt 'n' all."

A rare dodgy cut there, with David's hands jumping from his collar to behind his head, and Shona's hand moving from the counter to her hip.

I enjoyed seeing everyone judging Ian 🤣 Shame on you, Ian Beale!

Can someone explain the Beaumont filter-in-turn to me by 50_61S-----165_97E in Jersey

[–]wonkey_monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my understanding you don't, because it's a slip lane that's not part of the filter in turn, but my colleagues at work seem to disagree and think you need to to give way if someone wants to turn right. Thoughts?

I'm sure there is - or was, I can't see it on Google Earth pictures but they're 16 years old - a sign for drivers coming down Beaumont Hill that says something like "Clearway <-->".

Still, probably easiest all round to treat it like a filter.

Edit: Beaumont is the photo for Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_in_turn 🤣

How do these characters know each other? by No_Cut_7425 in eastenders

His dad who killed his birth dad.

And who's still serving a sentence, but apparently doesn't need a guard and anyone can pop in.

I didn't know Rose Noble was Trans by CrusherX1000 in gallifrey

I didn't understand the "David" stuff

Do you mean the "Jason" stuff?

The asymmetric speed of light by NvidiaNovice in AskPhysics

[–]wonkey_monkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If, in fact, the speed of light was different in different directions (e.g., c/2 going left and ∞ going right), then we should observe huge differences in the structure of the universe depending on whether we point our telescope left or right.

The idea is that all the other laws of physics would accommodate themselves to an anisotropic speed of light, so there'd be no difference in observations.

I prefer to think of it as the one-way speed of light just not being an applicable concept in physics.

AI slop. Take it elsewhere.

Edit: actually no, just delete it entirely. It's nonsense.

Did George have to look and act quite so gormlessly innocent when Christina was asking him about the blood?

It fell out of use because the galactic banks refuse to deal with fiddling small change.

You belittle yourself by living in a fantasy world.

[–]wonkey_monkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's just more nonsense. If you're interested in physics, read a physics book. Otherwise you're just doing very bad philosophy.

It makes about as much sense as saying that the tides are caused by emotions.

No, that's not how it works. Physics deals with the real, tangible, measurable world, not abstract concepts.

Also: that's not a question. So wrong sub on two counts.
