Saving Schrödinger's Kitty 🐈

Physicists can predict the jumps of Schrodinger's cat (and finally save it)

Yale researchers have figured out how to catch and save Schrödinger's famous cat, the symbol of quantum superposition and unpredictability, by anticipating its jumps and acting in real time to save it from proverbial doom. In the process, they overturn years of cornerstone dogma in quantum physics

“President Obama, It was you.” A 33-point essay asserting Pres. Obama is a Muslim

I have been asked to rebut this nonsense reposted by radio personality Mike Gallagher.

https://www.truthorfiction.com/mike-...was-you-essay/

I cannot find a single source that addresses this list. My Google-fu is not strong. Is there a site that addresses these claims such as Obama “mocked the Bible and Jesus Christ’s Sermon On The Mount while repeatedly referring to the ‘HOLY’ Quran.”

This previous live flat Earth vs not a flat Earth hosted by SciManDan debate between Conspiracy Catz and flat Earther Nathan Thompson reminds me of the current no rockets in a vacuum thread plus other threads.

This flu vaccination worth thing

OK

I have been a bit yeah whatever. Never had a vaccination. Never had the flu. Don't want to muck with a proven matter of wait and if I get old or unhealthy then I will probably get it (I am offered it free at work)

As long as you are young and healthy just deal with it.

Then this happens

This hasn't yet, but is seriously pushing the change my mind thing

Donald Trumps comes to London

Donald Trump arrives in the UK tomorrow for a full state visit (with his family in tow). Already he is causing controversy when he appeared to interfere in UK politics by endorsing Boris Johnson as the next Prime Minister, when he has not even been elected leader of the Tory Party yet.

Quote:

Donald Trump has said Boris Johnson would be an "excellent" choice for the Conservative Party leadership.

In an interview with the Sun ahead of his visit to the UK, Mr Trump said: "I think Boris would do a very good job."

The US president said other candidates had sought his endorsement, adding: "I could help anybody."
This, of course, has riled the other leadership contenders:

Quote:

Mr Trump said he also looked favourably on Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, telling the Sun: "Yup, I like him."

But he said Environment Secretary Michael Gove had been wrong to apparently criticise him over Iran.

Mr Gove said in an interview that "sabre rattling of the kind that some have advocated is not the way forward".

So, how do you predict the visit will go, guys?

Great success, disaster, as expected, a laugh a minute or an anti-climax?


Question on 19th century Latin medical terms

Hi folks I'm having some difficulty understanding what modern disease/accident might be mentioned in this report on casualties from 1843:



In particular I have not been able to determine what is meant by:

Insolatio (would this be sun stroke or similar?)
Emersio (drowning?)

Thanks
