Glass Half empty

10 Glass=full
20 Glass=Glass-1
30 If Glass =half then print “Glass half empty” end
40 Goto 20

30 If Glass = half then print “Glass .5 full” end

Because as I stated in my post, “half empty” is “half of 0”, and half of 0 = 0, not .5

When you say “half empty” you are saying “half of zero.” which 1/2 of 0 = 0, not .5 empty (half empty)

When you say “half full” you are stating it correctly, because 1/2 of full = .5 full, which it is.

Again:

Full = 100%
Empty = 0%

1/2 Full = 50%, which it is.
1/2 Empty = 0 %, which it is not.

Faster than the speed of light:

A question of traction? A

Special relativity prevents any object with mass travelling at the speed of light, and the principle of causality – the notion that the cause comes before the effect – is used to rule out the possibility of superluminal (faster-than-light) travel by light itself. However, a pulse of light can have more than one speed because it is made up of light of different wavelengths. The individual waves travel at their own phase velocity, while the pulse itself travels with the group velocity. In a vacuum all the phase velocities and the group velocity are the same. In a dispersive medium, however, they are different because the refractive index is a function of wavelength, which means that the different wavelengths travel at different speeds. Wang and colleagues report evidence for a negative group velocity of -310c, where c (=300 million metres per second) is the speed of light in vacuum.

A question of manipulating the properties of how we think space works? B

Spacecraft in a ‘warp bubble’ could travel faster than light, claims physicist

New research by Erik Lentz at the University of Göttingen suggests a way beyond this limit. The catch is that his scheme requires vast amounts of energy and it may not be able to propel a spacecraft.

Lentz proposes that conventional energy sources could be capable of arranging the structure of space–time in the form of a soliton – a robust singular wave. This soliton would act like a “warp bubble’”, contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind. Unlike objects within space–time, space–time itself can bend, expand or warp at any speed. Therefore, a spacecraft contained in a hyperfast bubble could arrive at its destination faster than light would in normal space without breaking any physical laws, even Einstein’s cosmic speed limit.

Negative energy
The idea of creating warp bubbles is not new, it was first proposed in 1994 by the Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre who dubbed them “warp drives” in homage to the sci-fi series Star Trek. However, until Lentz’s research it was thought that the only way to produce a warp drive was by generating vast amounts of negative energy – perhaps by using some sort of undiscovered exotic matter or by the manipulation of dark energy. To get around this problem, Lentz constructed an unexplored geometric structure of space–time to derive a new family of solutions to Einstein’s general relativity equations called positive-energy solitons.

299,792,458 / 27,185,000 = 11.027863

What does that mean, you ask?

It means that light travels at 299,792,458 meters per second, divided by a frequency of 27.185 megahertz, equals a wavelength of 11.02 meters.

Take the 11.02 meter wavelength and divide by 4, 11.02 / 4 = 2.755 meters.

2.755 meters converts to 108.4646 inches.

What does that all mean? It means that wavelength times frequency equals the speed of light, 299,792,458 meters per second.

It also means that in order to have a 1/4 wavelength antenna for CB channel 19, 27.185 MHz (the truckers channel) you need an antenna that is 108 inches long.

1 cycle per second is a frequency of 1 Hertz.
27.185 million cycles per second is a frequency of 27.185 megahertz, which means the wavelength is 11.02 meters.
Ham radio operators call CB band “11 meter.”

It’s not a theory, it’s a fact! It’s how radio frequency and antenna length are calculated. Deal with it!

Astronomers May Have Just Found Evidence of The Very First Stars in Our Universe

[size=50]MICHELLE STARR
19 OCTOBER 2021[/size]

Back when the Universe was young – around 13.7 billion years ago – the first stars formed in the soupy darkness, setting the cosmos alight.

We’ve yet to find any of these very first stars, known as Population III stars – but a star found in a dwarf galaxy orbiting the Milky Way may be the next best thing.

AS0039, located in the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy 290,000 light-years away, has a chemical composition suggesting it incorporates elements from a Pop III star that went hypernova.

According to an analysis led by astronomer Ása Skúladóttir of the University of Florence in Italy, it’s not only the lowest metallicity star ever discovered outside of the Milky Way galaxy, it also has the lowest carbon abundance ever seen in any star.

If confirmed, AS0039 could be key to helping us understand how the Universe switched on its lights. sciencealert.com/astronomer … iverse/amp

Nope… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculptor_Dwarf_Galaxy

I had wondered if you might spot the, er… coincidence, as I wasn’t going to point it out… well spotted dear. ; )

I guess that’s not why you chose the name Sculptor, but you could always say it is… are you a sculptor, of what?

• A creator God created the universe… but does one exist?
• The universe created itself… from what, how, and why?
• The natural laws created the universe… did they not come into being after the fact?
• Maths created the universe… did it use a calculator or abacus?
• Science created the universe… does the scientific method know about this?

Apart from all that ^^^ what would be the reason for a universe to pre-determinately create itself, or to have always been? so no cause, all effect… all 0s and 1s. Is the universe very Basic Maths, churning out code to create itself, one atom at a time… randomness, becoming formulaic over time, creating a consistency of the production of astral bodies as we know them.

You didn’t read James’ thesis on why the universe exists (very maths oriented) - The Absolute Impossibility of Nothingness - Ever.
