What do you mean by Schrodinger's cat experiment being "debunked"? The only way I can think to debunk it is to say there are ways to determine if the cat is alive such as heartbeat or temperature, which are impossible to isol

I think trump has identified the inefficacy of our supposed checks and balances. In school, we were taught that the 3 branches of government protect against a rogue leader, which is obviously not true. After he is removed or ends his term,

The far left is all in on climate change so they suppress anything that contradicts the narrative. You think Nature is going to publish "oops we were wrong about" stories wrt climate change? Each side has dug their heels in. I bel

What if a new weapons technology was developed by an adversary but not developed by your country. Then it was used to attack and perhaps conquer your country? Or cause an unduly higher number of casualties due to disparity of force?

I agree that photons cannot be distinguished, but how do you reconcile the following: - photons travel at the speed of light in a vacuum - it takes 90k years (or whatever) for a photon to travel from the sun's core to your retina? Ok,
