Thanks, and 2 more small questions.

Hi Wrongfilter:

Thanks for your answer to my weak equivalence scenario question. I just have two more questions:

1. So assume that the accelerometer is also made of iron, then presumably the accelerometer experiences the same force as the iron weight and is accelerated in exactly the same way and so will register no force. Could we argue, then, that the magnetic force satisfies the weak equivalence principle for all ferromagnetic substances and so is really not a force for those substances?

2. The more disturbing question: since electromagnetic force counteracts gravitational force everywhere on the surface of Earth to prevent us from falling through the Earth, and it acts all matters on the surface of Earth regardless of their compositions. Could we say, then, that the electromagnetic force satisfies the weak equivalence principle and really is the same as gravity (which is, of course, blatantly false)?

Thanks so much,

Austrian caves

Hi do you know if the Austrian caves person is the same as User:A. B./Sandbox20 or Wikipedia talk:Reference desk/Archive 79#Cross-wiki vandal also very active on our reference desk pages? If your description is accurate, the behaviour seems suspicious as this user also liked to ask obscure and often nonsense questions, particularly on language (why can't X be a word for Y) but also on a variety of other thing partially giving up on the language thing when people began to ignore them. In addition they also liked to create clearly inappropriate/vandalism redirects. I believe they were active on both the German and English wikipedia. However the IP always geolocated to Germany initially to NORDRHEIN-WESTFALEN (I don't know how accurate German geolocations tend to be but it usually seemed to be this) although I think this may have changed later whereas this is from Austria. Also I thought I saw the German IP a few weeks ago but I didn't really pay much attention. Nil Einne (talk) 22:20, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Probably not the same. The cave person is actually quite harmless, s/he just likes to wind people up. This can be rather frustrating if you invest some effort into researching a question in good faith, only to be mocked afterwards. I just hope I wasn't wrong in identifying that IP with our troll... --Wrongfilter (talk) 09:13, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Correction

I hope you don't mind I applied this correction to something you wrote at the RefDesk,  --Lambiam 21:04, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

I had intended it the way I wrote it but your change is okay. It drew my attention to the stray minuses I had thrown in... --Wrongfilter (talk) 21:08, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Your reversion of my edit

Good day. You reverted my edit here claiming that the IP user was "poster formerly known as" is a respected contributor - whence the suspicion?" The IP in question https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/87.81.230.195 has not edited the project in OVER ELEVEN YEARS. Regards,   Aloha27  talk  15:14, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Yes, of course, they have been posting from changing IP addresses for years now, but they have always used that characteristic signature which makes them recognisable. I don't remember ever seeing any of their (mostly excellent) contributions being reverted or anyone ever associating them with vxfc. --Wrongfilter (talk) 16:59, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Uncertainity Principle

Most parts of it has been taken from the source cited, if you have any issue with the vocabulary, then why not specify it or fix it? reverting it is not appropriate. V.L.TDAE. (talk) 17:36, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Your first edit was discussed at Talk:Uncertainty_principle#Cleanup_needed and reverted accordingly. Please justify your addition there before inserting it again. It is not just the vocabulary (and grammar), it's also the simplistic content. --Wrongfilter (talk) 18:27, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

My thanks

Just wanted to thank you for pointing out Compton scattering over on the science reference desk. I'm a molecular spectroscopist, so I'm not usually thinking about or even reading about light interacting with free electrons! Hell, most of the time, I'm not even thinking about light interacting with single atoms (though it's certainly easier to cross transfer my thinking to atomic spectroscopy than it is that of free electrons, and I have to be more familiar with it for teaching duties anyways). Now, I have a fun new topic to read about! My wife, however does not thank you, for the time I'll be spending reading about it ;-) --OuroborosCobra (talk) 13:46, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

An important word of advice

Thank you for finding the movie clip! I thank you for your reply about the movie!
