Yes, for all practical purposes. This is the position of physicist Sean Carroll and probably others. We may not know what is happening in the middle of a black hole, or very close to the big bang, but here on Earth we do.
"in the specific regime covering the particles and forces that make up human beings and their environments, we have good reason to think that all of the ingredients and their dynamics are understood to extremely high precision"[0]
ER=EPR says something completely shocking about the nature of the universe. If there is anything to it, we have almost no clue about how it works or what its consequences are.
Sean Carroll's own favorite topics (emergent gravity, and the many worlds interpretation) are also things that we don't have any clue about.
Yes there is stuff we can calculate to very high precision. Being able to calculate it, and understanding it, are not necessarily the same thing.
While Jesus is portrayed as extremely fluent in Jewish scripture, he's only ever shown to have written once and in the ground. Nothing exists indicating he ever wrote any works to be passed down. Some theologians theorize that Jesus purposely avoided writing due to parallels with the Old Testament's written laws that condemned man, while Jesus came to do the opposite.
I wouldn't expect God to go through the trouble of personally delivering his most important message then leave it to chance, knowing he wouldn't be around to answer questions and knowing nobody would write it down for decades, that only parts would survive, that there would be differences in interpretation. Knowing the fate of people who misunderstood.
Previously he wrote down ten commandments on stone tablets, and with his power he could easily write the most perfect book in a language everyone could understand that would leave no doubts as to what is required to be saved then ensure it survived forever. There would be no need for later writers on soteriology.
It probably depends on the state but in California, yes. Dog owners there are strictly liable for any injuries caused by their dogs unless the victim was trespassing.
...and his widow, Harriet Fell, is a CS Professor (emerita) at Northeastern[0], and an accomplished cyclist who completed Paris-Brest-Paris (a 1200km ride and to qualify you have to complete 200km, 300km, 400km, and 600km rides in the 8 months leading up to it.)
Oh thank god. I was planning on a 200km, 300km, and 400km this year, all as mental preparation, and then having to blitz next year by traveling to warmer locales. I
I'm doing my 200km at the end of April, and my 300km in early July, followed by a 400km gravel in early August. Going to be a grind.
I tried qualifying for PBP with some friends and we were fried on the 600. We did some longer rides, but never so intensively and without rest. Such good times. Maybe one day (likely when my kids are grown) I'll try again. I still dream of eating so much French food after annihilating myself on a bicycle. It sound incredible.
I can't stand perfume. I absolutely hate it. The smell is strong and spreads everywhere. Some people in our community wear perfume while indoors. At the same time, my wife takes our newborn shopping. It’s absolutely unacceptable.
Smell preference is NOT the issue. Forced exposure is. You can walk away from perfume. You can't walk away from a cloud that follows you down the street.
I've gone to numerous tasting events where I spit out all of the wine. There may be hundreds of bottles being poured at a trade show and you can't really taste more than a handful if you are swallowing.
