Please, can we forget the Bullet Cluster as the holy grail for Dark Matter? Even the wikipedia page mentions the alternative interpretations.

Why do physicists insist on treating gravity as a force? Since Einstein, we know gravity is the curvature of space-time. It may be represented as a force in calculations but in reality there is no force.
If gravity is not a force then do we really have a hierarchy problem? For eg. shouldn't Newton's constant, G, be some kind of average curvature of space-time between two bodies and be calculable from this curvature?
Obviously, if this is the case, G has nothing to do with Fermi's constant and we should not compare the two.
Isn't this the same as false vacuum theory?
As with any property by selling it you transfer ownership.
So, you can buy it back or if it is not possible you can buy a "new" one.
No, here's why:
I haven't tried this with the latest version by even a version 4.x GCC cannot generate inline code with the 8 bytes version of cmpxchg with 32bit code. Doing this in a function is OK.
I think the problem is that this instruction almost takes up all of the registers and GCC cannot cope with this if you want to do it inline.
cmpxchg8b is useful for lock-free code.
Everyone should have total control over his/her body. If you are not at liberty to sell your organs that means you do not have total control.
If you do not have total control that means you are a slave. You are a property of the state.
In short, I totally agree with the article since I am against slavery.
limited resources divided by more people = people are poorer
More efficient use of resources can somewhat mitigate this process but see Jevos paradox:
There was a short story about this (I can't remember the title). The story was about travelling back to Jesus's time to verify Jesus's existence but the travelers found themselves in space as Earth was elsewhere.
They had to travel ~220 million years back since that's the time the Solar system takes a turn around the galaxy's core and the Earth position would be the same when they started their travel.
because time is imaginary. It does not exist.
Why physicists insist using Einstein's equations as a 'proof' of time travel is beyond me. It is the same as if one used Newton's equations for speeds faster than 0.6 c.
In both cases the results are bogus as these equations were obviously not designed to handle these extreme cases.
Do not forget that these equations try to describe reality and they do this with very great precision, but it does not mean reality itself 'runs' these equations.
I firmly believe that time does not exist. It is just a creation of the human mind as we are aware of the past, the present and the future.
Yeah, I know about "time" slows down in a strong gravitational field or if you approach to the speed of light. But "time" slows down for you (which you do not notice of course) because the particles in your body do not have "time" to interact with each other. I mean, they are busy going into a particular direction and cannot go into another one as the resulting speed vector would be greater than c.
If there is no interaction between particles then there is no change in their states and the result will be as if "time" stands still.
The problem is, as you can notice in my explanation, that such words like "change" and "speed" implicate time. But that does not mean time is a real physical dimension. Reality does not execute our equations in order to work.
