We know stars are distributed in various distances, this we know by observation. If not the earth but the stars rotate we must assume that billions of crystal spheres at different distances somehow rotate in exact coordination to trace the

I wonder why Prof. Strassler does not consider star trails, like here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_trail definitive proof of Earth's rotation. In historic times astronomers invented crystalline spheres [1]

I love his animations, I wonder what programs he is using. He can do animations and calculations at the same time and it's all visually appealing. Most of his videos are amazing and fun to watch.

Seconds does not measure time, it compares two lengths of different scales. The motion of an oscillator and a unit length. What is measured is length. Nothing else can be measured.

But why do they call these numbers “dimensionless”? I think “unitless” would be a better name. These numbers are ratios so units cancel.

That's the search box at the bottom of the page. I get that "hn.algolia.com" link when I search for the title of the article. Otherwise I don't see a "past" link. Maybe there is, I don't know.

I'm glad to hear this because I like MacBook Air, and hope that the problem is specific to Pro only. Maybe this is related to the bigger screen (14").

So you think this is related to the Operating system and not physical screen (software issue not hardware issue)?
