  • I mean the word's common meaning. I understand the physics use of the word is not the same as the common word, that's my point. The use of the word has caused enormous confusion with even some physicists claiming that human observers matter (presumably to reinforce religious beliefs)

  • If the photons were travelling faster than the local speed of light, why would light be emitted? The Cherenkov radiation takes away the excess energy as the light is immediately slowed as it moves from whatever radioactive metal to water

    Gravity waves are indeed different. I don't know the maths of relativity, but I bet those equations also require specific wave speeds. They don't care about matter aside from it's gravity which can bend space-time and change the wave path

    I think we're pushing this beyond both our understanding

    Measuring causality/c despite those being given by our maths refines our values for the various constants

  • I give my players pretty wide latitude, after a few sessions they generally agree with me if their character isn't working well. Too weak can be treated with better weapons; too powerful get bored and go home. One of the too powerful synergised two powers to become practically invulnerable

  • And the fun thing is everyone sees this and sees "cholesterol" , but it's caused by other things, especially the vet high intake of sugar in the western diet. Free fatty acids are the better predictor of heart disease risk

  • Observation isn't necessary. You can add a photon detector to a double slit experiment and never observe the output. A quantum state will decohere if a particle emits a photon (which it will do as it's over zero Kelvins) and that photon hits anything

    In what way is "observation" the best word for a deep infra red photon hitting air or metal that no one sees?
