All that bloodline stuff is real, but it’s a pretty small fraction of the population. Most people’s experience of class difference in the UK is economic, not hereditary (I think).
Your layman’s answer still doesn’t quite do it for me - if you had two masses in space, joined together by a wire, and you span them around their combined centre of mass, angular momentum would remain conserved even if we wound the wire in or payed it out. If I cut the wire, though, wouldn’t the masses immediately shoot off (roughly) in whatever direction they were travelling at the time? That is my interpretation of the “everything seems linear” perspective colordrops offered - it seems like you only get the apparent rotation because of all the other forces holding things together.
edit: I accept that the non-layman’s answer may hold, I just find the intuition a bit off.
Angular momentum would still be conserved when you cut the wire though?
Also, couldn’t you just as well frame all the linear momentum in terms of angular momentum?
... hm, I guess one question is, how would we describe a world where one is conserved but not the other, and visa versa,
So e.g. a physics invariant under rotation around each point but not under translations, or visa versa...
Well, it seems like being invariant under rotation around any point, should maybe imply invariance under translations as well..
But, if we are talking about just rotations around a particular point, then a good example is a model of an atom where we consider the nucleus to be the fixed origin, and with the electrons to just be in a rotationally symmetric potential well, and in that model angular momentum is quite important, while linear momentum isn’t quite so important?
“The argument is inescapable: Studies that are underpowered for the detection of plausible effects must occasionally return non-significant results even when the research hypothesis is true – the absence of these results is evidence that something is amiss in the published record. ”
The claim wasn’t that there was an increase in control beyond that which you acknowledge (improved granularity) - it was about how that new power will be used.
It could be used to avoid unnecessarily inconveniencing customers, as you suggest, or it could be used to improve the strength of utility companies’ positions in disputes. Perhaps both?
The sources I looked at (e.g. [0]) suggest a maximum temperature of 91 F with a humidity of maybe 72 %, equating to a wet bulb of 28.51 C [1].
Are you sure about those temperatures/humidities? 100 F with 99 % humidity equates to a wet bulb of 37.75 C [2], well above the commonly accepted theoretically survivable limit of 35 C.
I remember specifically days where we woke up and it was already 96 degrees and there were still puddles from the rain the previous day.
I think what it means to survive those temperatures may be the issue here, because obviously you don't just drop dead if you are a healthy 18 year old. An obese 65 year old will be long dead in an environment that a healthy 18 year old can run wind sprints in.
According to [0] there are more than 3.5 million births per year, so a bit more than 100 million since 1990. 1.5% isn’t insignificant, but I wouldn’t call it huge.
I think you’re probably broadly right, because containers won’t be very useful, but in different circumstances things can be more complex than “a couple tiny shrimp and sightless fish”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whale_fall

Seems pretty clear?
