Correct. The invention of the FORTRAN programming language and similar programming languages (COBOL, ALGOL) was a huge step forward. But are better programming languages / programming environments, like the one Unison hopes to offer, which can offer another huge step forward possible? Unison...

I guess you are better as me in finding old posts.... Thx!!

It might be, we don't know. There are many cases in which mass adaptation of a breaking technology didn't happen, but sometimes it does happen. What I guess has to happen is that existing development platforms have a path to migrate to Unison, else they will not switch to using Unison. That is...

Most progrmming languages and programming environments work at the basis of a textual representation of the code, and all tools to built the executables or libraries are based on acessing text files, including the built tools, version control systems and compilers and such. There are not much...

Agree, my point was it is not part of the type system itself, you can't combine defined types into other types (apart from arrays, pointers, struct and union), and type specifications are rather unspecific, they are al based on a small set of basic types (like for example int with specifics only...

A type in a programming language more or less specifies what values are allowed for a given type. A type has some similarities with a set, but most programming languages lack the operations which a set has. For example, in C one can define a new type based on two other types as a union of those...

I the lambda-CDM model, is the expansion of spacetime uniform around all of spacetime, is there a smooth transition between expanding parts of spacetime (the voids) and non-expanding parts of spacetime, or is there a sharp distinction between expanding and non-expanding parts of spacetime. Is...

Ok, that is how I understood it. Sorry for the misunderstading, I meant to say the evet horizon of the black hole, not the cosmological horizon. Ok. Then at least I understood that correctly.

You are right of course - this reasearch is as of now aleady very speculative to say the least.

Same as the expansion of space (as how we thought it worked) does not cause gravitational bound objects to experience that expansion, so it was thought that the expansion of space only works in regions of space where there is no nearby source of gravity that could overcome the expansion of...

I don't know if I understand this issue the way it is supposed to, but I hope someone can clarify. As I understand it this new finding relates the source of dark energy (aka cosmological constant - a postive energy desnity in combination with a negative pressure term) to a black hole. For an...

One explenation would be that dark energy forms in the interior of the collapsing star before it becomes (or never becomes) a black hole.... Could that be correct? And the follow up question is how this process would create more energy as E=mc^2 allows...

For the record, I am not endorsing this physics theory of Haramein, I think the theory should be labelled crackpot and not taken too seriously. Just that he managed to get a paper published doesn't mean his physics theory makes sense.

You picture these horizon circles just touching each other, but basically every point is a vantage point that describes it's own horizon, so they could be overlapping or completely disjoint. And also, the radius is not 13.9 billion light years, since the observable universe has expanded, so the...
