If you believe the virus came from the Wuhan center and that was covered up, how could you trust a scientist from there to truthfully make this report? They could have just omitted a match to SARS-CoV2 if they found one.

Probably this needed to be published but it seems like a lose-lose proposition for the researchers and I doubt it will give conspiracy theorists a pause.

Upvoted for the honesty

Probably he’s on a diet and his wife won’t let him eat more than 1 order of meatballs.

*You can only teleport out to where you teleported in from.

Does this mean you get dropped into outer space if you stay inside for more than checks notes ~4 minutes?

Is it feasible? Sure. The limit on this kind of calculation is basically how much detail do we need to add to the environment (i.e., can we make the model) and how high resolution does the sound wave need to be (can we calculate it given finite compute resources).

To get something that roughly sounds like a rock? Not difficult to model or calculate, if we make some reasonable assumptions.

The sound of a wet towel thrown in the water during a hailstorm? Uhhh that’s a tough one.

Simulating sound uses classical mechanics governed by the wave equation, which is well-understood. In terms of CPU power, the calculation to propagate a simple sound wave (wavelet) could probably have been done on a TI-89 calculator from high school.

The idea is checking out with more than a basket of goods is really inconvenient. And I agree, it’s much slower and there’s no space for it.
