You spent a lot of time mocking the idea of strawman gravity angels and zero time explaining when the waveform function collapses and why this happens seemingly FTL.

You're arguing about something I'm not. The fact the waveform collapse appears instant doesn't violate causality at all. To break causality the collapse should be usable for communication, but it isn't. Yet it does appea

The whole point of entanglement is that measuring one of the pair affects the outcome for the other one. Whether the influence "travels" between the particles is subject to debate, but there is influence.

"It's a fact of nature and must be expected" is the Copenhagen interpretation. Which is well-known to be incomplete and basically referred to as the "shut up and calculate" interpretation. The issue still remains.

As I'm not deep into this matter, can someone share how this theory solves the "action from distance" problem of entanglement? The collapse is described as either non-local, or non-existent (many worlds intepretation). I&#x27

Strict schemas vs. dynamic data is a very odd argument. It's like arguing whether we should breathe in or breathe out. A healthy practice combines both depending on the nature of the task.

Interesting that we can sum up all those as "rely more on static analysis" :)

So they put any instance of a phrase like "... it feels like ..." as emotional reasoning? Say, "it feels like it'll rain"? I question their data analysis.

I find it a bit discouraging that the scientific consensus on what's a proper or wrong belief is entirely subject to cultural circumstances local in time and place. Displace any individual considered healthy about 5 decades back or for

It's less about convenience and more about having an entire generation of developers now who are literally unable of writing an app that doesn't use a heavy framework.

Subtle impact is always a given as people affecting their own understanding affects their actions, and their actions shape the reality around them.

If there's anything more annoying than the lingering bad examples of PHP code online, it's people lying about what PHP "recommends", like you do. Common database drivers like PGSQL, MySQL, SQLite etc. don't accept a

This probably disproves the hypothesis that consciousness shapes reality, because if it did, the millions of brainwashed people watching movies would have turned the reality into a set of movie tropes.

The "pre post" is not much of a design, unless we've had a long-term practice to force random healthy people into scanning their brains, or we have a time machine.

Is it though? Hype causes people not familiar or well informed into the matter to get into it, hoping for big returns. Of course, they'll come out severely disappointed, but science and technology as a whole would have advanced, thanks

Yes, it's optional. Not forbidden. Do you understand the difference?
