Re: Windows 10 and magically hidden files.
I majored in chem tech for a little bit. I got sick and couldn't catch up. Missing just one week was enough to put me way behind. Anyway, I learned some stuff. One thing was the word theory, it's one of the most misused words ever! A theory is a hypothesis that has soooo much evidence supporting it that we pretty much know this is the way it is. Now, one of the most wonderful things about science is you never try to prove anything. You always try to disprove stuff. While you're trying to disprove your hypothesis, you build evidence to support it. If you do disprove it, you change the hypothesis.
Theories are changeable as well. As soon as we get evidence to disprove the theory, we change the hypothesis and start over. Once we get enough supporting evidence, we send it off to be reviewed by peers. If they can conduct the same experiments and get the same results and not find a way to disprove, then we might have something.
The speed of light is generally considered a constant, but you're right, we believe that it might be influenceable. I remember when I took a college course a very long time ago, a professor told me scientists were able to successfully change the speed of light by doing some weird stuff but for the most part, we consider it a constant. This allows certain equations to be finished real nice like.
One thing I've never liked is the idea behind dark matter / dark energy. Jacobus Kapteyn suggested the idea first, back in 1922. Some scientists calculate the weight of a galaxy and the galaxy doesn't weigh enough. The stars on the outside should just fling off into space. So, what do scientists do? Instead of saying hey, we got some formulas wrong or we don't fully understanding gravity like we thought we did, or we can't successfully calculate the weight of the galaxy or hey, we messed up somewheres, let's find out where....instead of any of that, they say hey! These galaxy's don't weigh enough, therefore, there's gotta be something there that's just impossible to detect and it weighs something. In fact, it's all over the galaxy, and it just happens to weigh enough to let our equations work! Yay!
I mean, come on, doesn't that violate the scientific method? Creating evidence to support the hypothesis? Shouldn't they of changed the hypothesis? The worst part, it's now an extremely popular belief! Most scientists believe in it and they actually teach that crap in schools.

you could get rid of man-made space junk, but who wants to pay for it!
btw, the speed of light is not fixed, you can speed it up or slow it down with magnetic fields.
all the crap theory's revolving around it come from "scientists" trying to sound clever when they actually know nothing.
"scientists" came out wih similar crap theory's about the speed of sound - until it was broken.
they also came out with crap theory's about much slower speeds.
i seem to remember something about man not being able to travel faster than 30MPH without being killed by it during the early days of the horseless carriage.
that theory went to shit once railways started being built!
bottom-line: theory's arent worth the paper they are quoted on.
Tesla hated Einstein and knew he was a plaguarist anyway.
he stated that discovery's come from experiments and not from writing theoretical numbers down.!!!
