I am thinking the Romans were genuinely poor at dealing with the Germanic tribes flowing in. On occasion somebody would rise to the top, even an Andalusian dude once became emperor, and Andaulusian's were old Kelts and not German Goths. They Romans did know how to treat people like crap, and

Crash course on the Fall of Rome

2020-04-19 Thread Alan Grayson
I believe the Roman army was well paid, had a prestigious status in society, and had superior tactics in battle, using superior weapons, and perhaps most important was able to fight as a unit. But as Rome expanded it didn't do a great job in assimilating "the barbarians". Over time they became

Sure the Casimir effect involves QED. The virtual photons are in a sense a set of gauge redundancies that can be removed, though one need the moduli from these redundancies. This still defines a form of quantum topological number. LC On Sunday, April 19, 2020 at 11:30:51 AM UTC-5, Alan

The only thing that is measured is a difference in energy, and the modes between two parallel plates are different from those outside. So the difference in energy results in this slight pressure. LC On Saturday, April 18, 2020 at 10:40:45 PM UTC-5, Alan Grayson wrote: > > Does the Casimir
