I suppose the insurrectionists in Congress would also be the ones to decide if they themselves are disqualified for their own federal offices? It...
I wrote that December 22, 2023, over 2 months ago. And now they say they will rule on this after all. They just delayed for a couple months for...
Yeah, good points all around. Especially mine, but of course we all agree on that per functorium, even though the point was that there was no point....
The inverse is also not even wrong. Seems rich young Donald Trump does not feel he's not getting long shrift from the non-media concerning his...
By the way, I would love to be wrong about any of my predictions here. They are not the cheeriest of scenarios.
If the Supreme Court wanted to, surely they could decide and tell us whether they want to declare that all presidents have immunity, as they...
Oh look, today the Supremes decided not to rule on the question of presidential immunity. Why am I not surprised?
I still stand behind my predictions from March 2023 that Trump will not be a third party candidate, because he will be the Republican party nominee....
LaurieAG, I am so glad to see that you are still hanging about and doing well. I remember when you and I, and some others, were discussing Grøn's...
To put it in context: Suppose when the traveling twin is 10 years old he wants to know what his sister's age would be if he jumped off the train he's...
Have you tried to calculate what the speed of light would be if he uses her clocks and measuring rods instead of his own? Hint: it does not violate...
Right, they are both correct. When the traveling twin is 20 years old, the TDE tells him that his sister is currently 10 years old. However, he is...
I'm actually more concerned about this than what we are currently discussing. If I accept your idea that everyone should use the clocks and...
If he chooses to use the clocks and rods which are stationary with respect to her, rather than the ones which are stationary with respect to him, the...
That is 2 different inertial frames, plus one acceleration. The outbound inertial frame is not the same as the inbound inertial frame. In the basic...
Right, so it is kind of silly to say that her age might be changing back and forth in her own inertial reference frame, but she might be unaware of...
"if her age DOES change in that way" SR says that information cannot travel faster than the speed of light, so her biological clock would have no...
In the case of Halc's reasoning, he prefers to use a frame where her age does not change back and forth if the distant twin decides to travel back...
If the traveling twin explicitly uses the stay-home twin's reference frame, then he would also have to use her clocks and measuring sticks to measure...
The traveling twin, upon reaching the turnaround point, can just as easily decide to put himself in her place instead of his own. In that case, he...
