A solar day is different from one complete rotation. A solar day is the time that elapses from high noon to high noon. But in a day, the Earth moves about 1 degree around the sun. That means that high noon is about 1 degree different from one day to the next.
If we measure by the stars, a full rotation, called a sidereal day, takes 23 hours and 56 minutes.

This Graph Changed My Life
0 seconds ago
Very few people deny that global warming is happening. The real debate is about how much it's occurring, how fast, and whether it's more dangerous than denying people access to affordable energy. Alarmists often ignore the potential benefits of CO2, moderate warming, and cheap, reliable energy.
I'm not a climate change skeptic; I'm a climate alarmism skeptic. Labeling people as "global warming deniers" or "climate skeptics" creates a straw man argument. The much-cited 97% consensus refers to relatively uncontroversial claims—that the Earth is warming and that human activity contributes to it. That's a far cry from a consensus on whether climate change is catastrophic or whether governments should take control of the energy sector.

I never understood why matter curves spacetime...until now!
1 minute ago
To be a valid theory, Relativity would have to be able to define the 4D shape of space-time. Does the theory do this, or does it just assume that space-time is curved?
My problem with "space-time" is that it equates and combines two things that are not the same at all. It assumes that the progress of time is like physical motion through space. People say that we are moving through space-time at the speed of light.
Time is the interval between sequential events. It is not a distance we travel.
Since we know that there is a cosmic speed limit, time dilation is a physical consequence of approaching that speed limit.
There is much explained by Relativity. Could there be another model that doesn't involve the concept of "space-time"? What if Gravity really is a force?

11 foods to avoid???
- Kidney stones: Oxalates, also known as oxalic acid, are naturally occurring compounds in plants that can bind with calcium in the urine, forming calcium oxalate crystals. These crystals can develop into painful kidney stones. For individuals prone to kidney stones or with a family history of them, a doctor may recommend a low-oxalate diet to reduce their risk.
- Oxalosis: In severe cases of high oxalate levels, a condition called oxalosis can develop, where oxalate builds up in organs and tissues throughout the body, potentially damaging bones, blood vessels, eyes, and even the heart. This can happen if kidneys aren't effectively removing oxalate from the blood due to primary or enteric hyperoxaluria.
- Impaired nutrient absorption: Oxalates can bind with minerals like calcium and magnesium in the gut, reducing their absorption. However, this is usually not a significant concern for most people who consume a varied diet with adequate calcium intake.
- Specific health conditions: Individuals with certain conditions like primary hyperoxaluria (a rare genetic disorder), enteric hyperoxaluria (due to certain intestinal problems), or those who have had weight-loss surgery may need to monitor their oxalate intake more closely as they are at a higher risk of hyperoxaluria and related complications.
- Kidney stones: Symptoms like sharp pain in the back, side, lower belly or groin, blood in the urine, painful urination, and frequent urge to urinate.
- Joint pain and inflammation: Oxalate crystals can deposit in joints, leading to swelling, pain, and stiffness.
- Digestive issues: Abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation.
- Neurological symptoms: Tingling or numbness, muscle weakness, and in rare cases, seizures or difficulty with coordination.
- Eye and skin issues: Burning or itching in the eyes, redness, sensitivity to light, and potentially skin rashes or crystals on the skin.
- Leafy greens:.Opens in new tabSpinach, Swiss chard, and beet greens are known for their high oxalate content.
- Fruits:.Opens in new tabRhubarb, star fruit, raspberries, dates, and kiwi are also high in oxalates.
- Nuts and seeds:.Opens in new tabAlmonds, cashews, and peanuts are among the nuts with higher oxalate levels.
- Soy products:.Opens in new tabTofu, soy milk, and other foods derived from soybeans can be high in oxalates.
- Grains and starches:.Opens in new tabBuckwheat, bran, and some wheat products can also contribute to oxalate intake.
- Other:.Opens in new tabCocoa, chocolate, and some beverages like black tea and soy milk are also sources of oxalates.
- Moderation is key:While some foods are high in oxalates, it's not necessary to eliminate them entirely from your diet. A guide from the University of Virginia School of Medicine suggests that careful planning and balanced portion sizes can allow you to enjoy these foods.
- Individual needs:The impact of oxalates can vary depending on individual factors, such as kidney health. Consult with a doctor or dietitian for personalized dietary recommendations.
- Calcium intake:Increasing calcium intake, particularly from dairy products, can help bind to oxalates in the digestive system, potentially reducing their absorption.

When the ice age ended—roughly 50,000 years ago—these better-equipped humans gradually spread across the rest of the world.
I also heard that a climate-related disaster drastically reduced the Homo erectus population—from around one million individuals to just a few thousand—approximately 980,000 years ago.
In both cases, I'm glad they didn't go extinct.

Did We Get the Double Slit Experiment All Wrong?
The double-slit experiment is a cornerstone of quantum physics. If our understanding of it were to change, it could upend the entire foundation of physics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpMcC-E5l5c
This video doesn't explain the topic very clearly—it doesn't shed much light on it. 🙂 So, it feels more like an argument over semantics.
Einstein believed that quantum physics describes systems probabilistically because of hidden variables that we are unable to perceive. Personally, I think it's quite plausible that events occur on such an infinitesimal scale that they're simply beyond our ability to detect. In this case, we have to rely on theory instead of experimentation.
Water Purification and Removing PFAS from Water
I like drinking bottled water, which reportedly may not be much different from tap water—unless it's labeled as purified. To save money and avoid the hassle of buying bottled water, I was planning to get a water purification pitcher.
I spent a lot of time yesterday comparing different brands. I first came across this website:
https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home-products/g39110423/best-water-filter-pitchers/
It recommends the Brita pitcher, primarily due to its low cost per gallon. Brita filters produce about 120 gallons of filtered water, making them very inexpensive to use.
However, after doing more research, I found that a couple of other brands are significantly better at filtering water, especially when removing PFAS. According to the video I referenced in my previous email below, PFAS are widespread in water supplies and can accumulate in the body over time, potentially posing health risks.
I saw a video comparing the Zerowater pitcher with Brita and Amazon-branded pitchers, and the Zerowater model performed far better, producing nearly pure water.
I initially planned to order the 10-cup version of the Zerowater pitcher from Walmart, but I found the 12-cup version at a lower price, so I ordered that one instead:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JA5H7GK
How much does it cost to use?
-
Distilled water costs around $1.33 per gallon.
-
Member's Mark purified bottled water from Sam's Club costs about $0.81 per gallon.
-
The Zerowater pitcher is more expensive to use than other filter pitchers. Each $15 filter produces only about 15 gallons, roughly $1 per gallon.
You can reduce the cost somewhat by buying filters in bulk, and some compatible generic filters are available for about half the price.
I also mentioned considering a reverse osmosis system for my home, which might be a better long-term solution.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC2eSujzrUY&t=1980sBefore seeing this video, I was planning on buying a water purification jug.The video makes me want to get a reverse osmosis system. I already have one, but it is broken.

Storm
The last two warnings, both from this month, were for tornadoes near the edges of the county, far from my location.
I did the only reasonable thing: I stepped outside to check out the weather. I wasn't the only one. Just to the west, some ominous black storm clouds were gathering. It slowly started to rain, so I took shelter inside. The Weather Bug app indicated a fast-moving storm system overhead.
Then, the power went out. The storm sounded intense, so I temporarily hid in a large closet. It passed after a few minutes.
The power company sent a text estimating the outage would last until 2:15 AM.
I wonder whether there was actually a tornado.
Two years ago, a tornado on the far west side of the county caused a massive burst of wind in Columbus, knocking down trees all over the city, including on a property across the street. That storm sounded worse; I genuinely thought my house was about to be hit by a tornado.

How I Think About Climate Change
0 seconds ago
Neil,
It is possible that climate alarmists are correct and that human CO₂ emissions will lead to disastrous climate change unless we take drastic action. However, I have about a hundred reasons to believe they are not. We will find out in time because we are currently running the experiment. While some changes are occurring, they do not seem significant enough to warrant panic. I believe we have far more time to address this issue than alarmists suggest, as these changes are happening very slowly.
Looking at temperature data, it took approximately 140 years for the average atmospheric temperature to rise by just 1°C—starting from 1880, which was an exceptionally cold decade.
One major reason for resistance to drastic climate policies is that human civilization depends on cheap, reliable energy to thrive. The proposed solutions are often expensive, unreliable, and require draconian government controls. I do not want the government to control the entire energy sector unless there is an overwhelmingly strong existential reason to do so.
I have followed this issue for 37 years and have seen many dire predictions fail to materialize. Around 35 years ago, some claimed that we would face catastrophe within 25 years. Yet, our supposed doom always seems to be 25 years away—much like nuclear fusion. 🙂
As I mentioned earlier, the rate of change is slow, but another key factor is climate sensitivity to CO₂ doubling. Just 15 years ago, some climate scientists estimated climate sensitivity to be between 6 and 12°C. However, these predictions have gradually been revised downward. Around 2010, experts warned that we were on track for a 3°C increase by 2100 and that this would be dangerous, though a 2°C rise would be manageable. Less than a decade later, I saw similar claims, but the numbers had shifted: now a 2°C increase was the catastrophe, and 1.5°C was the new "manageable" threshold. The goalposts keep moving.
We have nearly doubled atmospheric CO₂ since pre-industrial levels—though not quite yet. However, we have not observed a 6–12°C increase. After analyzing temperature and CO₂ data from 1880, I did some calculations and estimated a climate sensitivity of around 2°C.
A 2015 graph comparing climate model predictions with actual temperature changes showed that nearly all models ran too hot. Only the Russian model was close to reality.
We now live in a political climate where truth is often defined by narrative rather than data. It is a post-truth society. There have been numerous reports of scientists struggling to secure funding or publication unless they align with the official narrative.
The IPCC is not an unbiased organization. They have refused to hire anyone who does not already subscribe to the belief in catastrophic man-made warming. This is not how science should be conducted—starting with a conclusion and working backward. Given that the IPCC is funded by governments, it should remain neutral and let data guide its conclusions. Instead, it behaves more like a political entity. The IPCC has also attempted to prevent skeptical papers from being published and has hired individuals affiliated with environmental lobbying groups—an obvious conflict of interest.
Some scientists have resigned from the IPCC, citing excessive bias. One former member stated that the real goal of the organization was to dismantle free-market capitalism.
Antonio Guterres, the socialist from Portugal who has led the UN since 2017, routinely makes exaggerated claims about climate change—such as his statement that oceans are "starting to boil."
Unfortunately, I do not trust the political system or academia to provide an honest assessment. I wish I could, but too many individuals and institutions appear to be pushing their agendas.
Best wishes,
John Coffey

It seems like the wrong approach. LLMs excel at language but are not well-suited for other tasks. The top chess programs, for example, are exponentially stronger than the best human players. A general-purpose AI would likely need to be a collection of specialized tools, each designed for a specific task. By developing enough of these tools, you could create a highly intelligent system.
