Yeah, so say your son gets a heart attack at age 33 (because of simply bad luck as I was told) and can therefore not afford health insurance anymore. You are going to tell him just that? Well my son who should have a career for himself at 33 should be able to take care of himself and his family. If...

Gblaze, I know that some (not all, as it depends on the size) companies do offer rather cheap medicare, but I am self employed. I would not benefit from the bulk insurance contracts that big companies can offer. Also smaller companies can not offer such benefits and then employees end up paying muc...

To put another dent into that theory: I am sure you will agree that infants are hardly affected by badly chosen diets or the lack of vacations. Yet the US has a signifficantly higher infant and child mortality rate than Austria. 6.3 (inf) and 7.8 (<5y) in the US versus 4.4 and 5.4... I think this h...

Austrians have a higher life expectancy than US citizens, btw. 79.5 in Austria versus 78.11 in the US. That is according to your CIA factbook btw... This has no connection to the state of medical care. Many individuals diets affect this as well as stress related, which is most likely higher in the ...

socliized medicine doesn't work..
I know I'm not the most liked person on the board but I can live with that. But if you listen to anything, please listen to this. My mother who lived in Canada died from cancer this year at the age of 82 due to the fact that she was to old, and the doctors pretty much said so. Even though they had c...

Re: electron g-factor
I've never really understood particle spin. Everything I read seems to be ambiguous. Macroscopic evidence of particle spin can be seen in the Einstein-de Hass effect , which is quite cool. Particles with spin have angular momentum, yet particles are dimensionless according to QM, which is a paradox...

Re: Gravity repels
you would basically see a clump of dense +g matter and -g matter moving away from each other. Why this doesn't seem to be is that the cosmic background noise should show this disparity and it doesn't. Cool. I was hoping for something definitive to close down this line of thinking. I get a lot of in...

Re: Gravity repels
That is for GRAVITATION: Similar g-charged particles attract. Dissimilar g-charged particles repel. Comparing the above in a table shows nice symmetry. I haven't come across this exact scenario before - probably its not true - but anyway... Are there any obvious falsifying experiments or data? Does...

Re: A Question For Physicists
Personally I would think it's a matter of de-coherence. It's rather hard to keep entanglement more than a millisecond.MSimon wrote:I'm slightly familiar with quantum entanglement.
If the Big Bang theory is true why aren't all particles in existence entangled?
