That might work for imaging, but what's your fix for spectroscopy?

I'm glad that you agree that the original post was incorrect in stating that: > Bedford's Law is apparently just a fancy name for the phenomenon where 1's appear much more frequently than 9's in any random sample of n

Even this explanation is incorrect. Evenly sampled data across many orders of magnitude give an even distribution of leading numbers. See my comment for code here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21541264 There are ma

It's not true for any random sample of numbers. Spin up a Jupyter notebook and paste the following: %matplotlib inline import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np import seaborn as sns sns.set_context(&#x27

But Google isn't foreign and he explicitly says to keep blocking it?

I think you're thinking of the oil-drop experiment for the charge of the electron that was done 110 years ago (1909). And the experiments in the subsequent decades. Feynman, in 1974, so 45 years ago, used it as an example of problems i

I'm curious, where are you heading with this counter argument? That perhaps, something like 900k Americans living in Europe are in the US Armed Forces, leaving 100k regular US citizens. So then, if all 5k of the US citizen renouncers w

I doubted that "many" expats give up their US citizenship so I tried to find some numbers. Found some secondary sources like: https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2018/05/14/fewer-ame...

Thank you for posting that article! It was really well written and thought provoking.

While not exactly an answer to your question, you could go through the process described here: http://cognitivemedium.com/srs-mathematics Which would probably burn that into your brain pretty well.

Your latest comment seems to be replying to someone with a fascination with the specific number 1/137, which I do not have, and some related tangents. I'll try to refocus the points of contention between us. This whole thread star

I can't tell whether you are agreeing or disagreeing with me. Let's make it easier. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: The value of the fine-structure constant is not predicted by any physics theory.
