But this swell must be at least taller than you are for this. And if you happen to climb up the Mount Torre, 2000 m above sea level, you again will not see the Rocky Mountains, because in your view the swell will be taller than your 6 feet+2000 ...

The Rabbit Hole

For me the most obvious way to visualize why the Earth is not flat is the existence of horizon. If the Earth were flat, the world would be a very strange place and would look differently. For example, there would not be a good reason why from ...

The Rabbit Hole

When I wrote curvature, I meant about the curvature of the Earth's surface. There the "down" direction is perpendicular to the surface and is pointing towards the centre of the Earth. I agree. It is just that the effect is going to be tiny as long ...

The Rabbit Hole

OK, so far, so good. The price might possibly approach the top once again but should be more inclined to drop from now on. k

Oil and Natural Gas

It is roughly spherical. If it'd be a circle, Erastothenes proved that we'd be living on its outer edge. You can repeat Erastothenes'es experiment on any meridian on the Earth. It is easy to do, given you know somebody living a few hundred ...

The Rabbit Hole

Broken through my (sub-)swing top estimate. Bears, if any, should be careful. The top might not hold. k

Oil and Natural Gas

Hi all, Physicist here. The gravitational pull would become weaker as you move towards the Earth's core (i.e. increases as you move away from the Earth centre). The Newton's equations are written for point masses, but can be easily adapted for solid ...

The Rabbit Hole

I think this was all the bulls can do. k

Oil and Natural Gas

Note that I’ve done some simulations in Python implementing the same strategy yesterday, and the results are nowhere near the ones I am achieving using the app. The simulation results are in line with the simulations done previously in the thread. ...

Higher Edge within a Single Candlestick

My last word on the topic of the buying above the line vs. the random number generator, I promise. I was positively surprised by my success in this game and started looking at this more carefully. I think this has to do with the properties of the ...

Higher Edge within a Single Candlestick

Buying above the line vs. the random number generator, new record, 14/24, probability of event 0.04%; total number of games played <30. Cheers, k image

Higher Edge within a Single Candlestick

Which one? Roulette or fx? k

Higher Edge within a Single Candlestick

You may or may not believe me, but in the lab I see it work every single day. k

Higher Edge within a Single Candlestick

Most populations in European mountains have traditionally survived the winters using milk and particularly cheese, because meat was a scarcity. Basing my gene pool and traditional family food from there, I can digest milk and related products just ...

Higher Edge within a Single Candlestick

I'm a physicist. He was correct on most things (photoelectric effect - foundations of quantum mechanics, Brownian motion, special relativity, general relativity...). He was incorrect notably on the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen "paradox", but has provided ...

Higher Edge within a Single Candlestick

I do agree with you on this - it is best to buy meat at the butchers, from a local farm. k

Higher Edge within a Single Candlestick

This lady strikes me as a person who at the gentle age of 30 has seen a farm animal for the first time in her life. k

Higher Edge within a Single Candlestick

Don't get me wrong: I don't believe that fish oil is particularly useful for anyone (I actually tried the capsules and it just made me bloated). I don't even claim that they are free from heart disease. No population is. But I don't think that their ...

Higher Edge within a Single Candlestick

Off topic, but since the thread is so hopelessly derailed, I'll join in. I'd highly recommend everyone to take applications of such geographically/demographically restricted studies to their own circumstances with a great dose of caution. In other ...
