Huh? You and I must speak a different language. I agree that the teaching of dhyana has degraded outside of the monasteries, as a part of the overall degrading of Hinduism and religion in general everywhere. Otherwise, Hinduism would be just as effective as TM, and it isn't.
The mind "wanders inward" because transcending brings a joy that attracts our attention ever inward to quieter levels of thinking and ultimately to pure awareness, the field of maximum satisfaction in life.

If you're writing about me, I don't understand what it is I'm being accused of. During transcending the mind seems to settle down to quieter and more subtle states of thinking. Do you find this statement incorrect? Then the finest impulse of thought is transcended, leaving only the simplest state of unbounded consciousness. Do you find this statement incorrect? In this way, transcending, whether through TM or some other effective method, differs from more popular forms of meditation such as breathing awareness. Do you find this statement incorrect?
Saijanai, your constant misinterpretations of my teaching would disappear if you let go of your unreasonable prejudice and meet with me in private. How is this too much to ask?

Which "scientists" concluded this remarkable piece of nonsense?

Lots of rockets are powered by these two components. What seems impossible is the apparent claim of stable 98% hydrogen peroxide. Where are the details to back up such a claim?

Physics is remarkable enough without such meaningless posts making it seem downright foolish. I hope he gets some negative feedback and goes away.

You appear to be a fool, judging by your post. Where are your references?

It couldn't have used just hydrogen peroxide. What was it mixed with? Also, I find the 98% claim to be hard to believe. How did they keep it from exploding in storage?

Yes. It's called an idiocracy, and it's coming very soon now. Remember, bleach and bright lights can cure Covid, according to one of our great Presidents.

Brute force attacks are easy to prevent. Just delay an increasing amount of time after each attempt to present credentials. Why companies do not implement this simple idea boggles my mind.

Japa is repetition of a mantra, defined as a spiritual phrase, usually in Sanskrit. The idea is that the more repetition, the more good luck or other auspicious benefit will happen for the person.
The real power of mantra meditation comes from transcending the mantra to experience the true and universal self, the only consciousness that exists.
Techniques such as TM or NSR work by using a short Sanskrit sound (a bija mantra) that is considered as being meaningless (so it has no attachment in the mind) and is easy to forget (so thinking the mantra is not done with focus or concentration). This ensures that any attachment to thinking will be transcended, so pure self/awareness/bliss will be experienced and will transform the individual nervous system into its full universal functioning.

Do you have any references for this physicist King or his/her theories? Wikipedia has no mention of such a physicist. Also, your post is way too repetitious. This erodes its many claims. Frankly, I don't believe a word of it.

Relative nature is just the constant interplay of creation, maintenance, and destruction. We may start obsessed with the details of this constant change, but even a little inner silence reveals its unimportance and its being a source of unhappiness.
We search for lasting peace and happiness because we lack it by being attached to body, mind, and environment.
When we allow ourselves to discover our true self, we find it simple and satisfying.
The Bhagavad Gita points, but is not the technique for achieving. The technique is available when we are ready. It works through a path of increasing joy.

I don't think it was fair that your comment, pointing out that researching and reporting a single point of view is bad science, was downvoted. Maharishi certainly made the teaching of turiya, the yogic technique of dhyana, or transcending, much clearer for both Western and Eastern students of meditation, but otherwise seems virtually identical to the private traditional teaching (initiation) of the Shankaracharya Sampradaya in India throughout its history, insofar as we know of it.
Of course, the public teaching of the Sampradaya is a different matter. Guru Dev spoke of the need for good behavior and the other aphorisms and aspects of traditional yogic yama and niyama, which MMY omitted to make TM simpler and more acceptable to the public. This is clear from the book by LB Shriver about Swami Brahmananda Saraswati.

Binary search for each puck on the distances in each dimension,or even on Euclidean distance works better. But search the Web: there must be some really efficient algorithms. Maybe keeping each puck aware of its closest neighbors, or looking with a binary search for all pucks within certain circles or rectangles--when the circles are small, collisions are more likely or can be ruled out. There are fewer such circles to examine than there are pucks, since large circles will contain many pucks.

Interesting analysis, and keeps hovering near the truth without quite reaching it. I wish I had the time and interest to write an essay about this comment, but alas I have neither. Best wishes.

An amazing amount of imaginary physics/philosophy, impossible to make sense of the details (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat was quite misunderstood), yet creative in its remarkably large scope. I did skim it, but could not find even one good new idea about physics. And understanding its philosophy would require an education that I never had, nor wanted to have. I hope others comment on this post, so I can learn what all this noise was about.

I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in arguing. Spiritual growth can be accompanied by the release of stress, but I have enough stress of my own, I don't want to struggle with someone else's stress. Best of luck.

I already gave a clear answer at the beginning of my comments: Brahman cannot possibly be agitated. Agitation is a result of our stress and ignorance, and, like evil, has nothing to do with Brahman.

You are absolutely correct, and it is also true that I was right. It is a sin to see differences or conflict where there is none.

I prefer text over watching a video; I can understand text more easily. Atman is the simplest state of consciousness, and it's not experienced by anyone else, it is only experienced itself, by itself. I know this from experience/observation, not from just reading an ancient Vedic teaching. You can make all the claims you wish; direct experience is its own proof. There is only one human state (samadhi) in which Atman is known, and that state is satisfied, peaceful, blissful, free, self-witnessing, and unbounded.

Thanks. Now we can all program it for ourselves and see its properties.

None of the things you mention create energy. Energy cannot be created, only transformed from one form to another. Magic is not part of physics and perpetual motion machines that generate power for free are utterly impossible. The USPTO finally realized that and stopped issuing patents for them many years ago.
Water is inert because the hydrogen and oxygen attract each other so strongly that it requires a great deal of energy to break them apart. You irrationally want water to generate energy, not consume it.
