The biggest lie the democrats (and republicans) convinced the world of is that you should vote for them, even if they are evil, because they might win.
Interesting fact of the day: Most bee larvae, including honey bees, don't and can't poop until right before they spin their cocoon. Basically the upper and lower part of their intestine are seperate and there is no where for the poop to go. Right before they form their cocoon their intestinal tract connected, they poop their first and only poop as a larvae then spin their cocoon.
The reason for this is because all the food the larvae will eat is in the cell with them. As such if they were to poop it would contaminate the food. So by only pooping once, after the food is all eaten, it keeps the food safe and clean.

When we say that something is not relative in the context of relativity we just mean there is some [privileged value. You can always measure something in a relative way even if it does have some absolute value with meaning.

The point is that if you have some object with a magnetic field that magnetic field can look like an electric field due to relativity effects. This is unrelated to the fact that a moving field will give off the other field. Also to be clear it isnt all motion, only acceleration causes this not velocity.

Since we dont operate at near-light speeds, or in extreme gravitational gradients the effects of relativity are small enough that they can be ignored for us in every day life. But the point is if i were going fast enough the effect can become significant and a football field may be a wildly different length depending on the conditions it is expierncing (speed, gravity, etc).

Muons, like anything with a half-life at the quantum level, including radioactive material, does not have a fixed half-life like you suggest. The half-life described is only when the observer is in the same frame of reference as the muon. If the observer or muon are moving relative to eachother the half life changes and is no longer a constant.

Yes, there is (we can define and measure) (the magnitude of) _acceleration_ _of a specific participant_, _at some particular event_, as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumcircle#Other_properties">radius of cuvature</a> of _the_ time-like worldline traced by that participant; by means of a Cayley-Menger determinant as expression of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron%27s_formula#Alternate_expressions">Heron's fomula term</a>; cmp. https://mathstodon.xyz/@MisterRelativity/109622725097842951

That isnt what I said.. I said everyone **has been** a fetus and thus is open to an opinion. Thankfully we **can** think now and thus have an opinion as someone who could have been effected by such a decision.
I met god once, he is living in a back ally in India. You're good.
I think they should get as much of a vote as anyone on the issue, since everyone has been a fetus, so everyone could have been effected.
That said we want to give women as much choice as morally right, and my mind that ends when the consciousness of the baby begins. The point at what that is is debatable as well.

@lucifargundam Thank you
So 100% of the people who oppose abortion are the people who would have been effected by it (were fetuses at one point in their life)... Sounds like exactly the people who should have an opinion honestly.
inb4: I actually support abortions (with restrictions). My point is only that it is an ethical issue that we all would have been effected by therefore we all have a right to a voice.
Jesus christ they arent even trying to hide the racism anymore... At leas tin my day people had the good sense to be ashamed of their racism.
