    Any Physicists Here?

    I'm assuming you are referencing the Calibi-Yau manifold construct of space-time geometry. I've literally read Shing-Tung Yau's book 4 times and still don't fully understand it. It's amazing that any human can visualize 10 dimensions. While I can follow the math, I still cannot begin to grasp...

    Any Physicists Here?

    You're right... I do accept the current status quo (to some extent), as should we all. After all, a lot of genius minds other than Einstein have dedicated their life's work to working out these problems. We should first strive to understand the knowledge of those who came before us before we can...

    The Casimir effect is real and can be measured in the lab. There have also been many particle accelerator/collider experiments done since the 90s that have proven these particle pairs can be generated on demand albeit with a large amount of energy input input into the system to induce the...

    Gravity itself does not attract matter... matter attracts matter. Rather, matter results in a gravitational field due to warping of space-time. But you are correct that antimatter would be equally affected by the known forces that affect regular matter. An electron itself is not anti-matter...

    This is already widely accepted and proven in many experiments. Particle/anti-particle pairs constantly pop into existence from fluctuations in the vacuum of space, and they immediately annihilate each other. This is also a key fundamental of Hawking radiation. As far as the rest of your post...

    Any Physicists Here?

    In the scenario you described, the pressure wave ahead of the particle, assuming it is caused by the particle, would need to travel faster than the particle itself in order to affect the path in front of it (let alone have enough time to reach the plates, bounce back, and create interference...

    Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 2.00 Firmware Release

    Nope. Ares 1.03 to 2.00, XL+ They do indeed sound amazing once the XF match was fixed.

    Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 2.00 Firmware Release

    Every one of my presets that used Recto Red 2 Modern sounded horrible and very quiet in terms of overall volume, yet level was unchanged at around -12.5. I did a reset block and it sounded fine. Used FracTool to export original and reset block preset and found the XFormer Match was changed to...

    Midlife Crisis Car

    I second this. I picked up a 370 touring/sport 6MT and it's a ton of fun for the money. Maintenance costs aren't nearly as high as other cars mentioned in this thread either. Performance parts are definitely pricey but it's not tough at all for the weekend warrior to get one of these above...

    Noise Gate settings for speed metal/high gain

    It depends on the amp, but for most of my Recto model rhythm parts I start here: Threshold: -48 (depends on guitar being used) Ratio: ~3.0 Attack: 1ms Hold: 20-25ms Release 40-50ms The above work well for me with both my JPXI-7 and JP15-7 guitars using the Recto Orange and Red and IIC++. I...

    "Dream Tones" ML Artist Pack | Based on all John Petrucci's guitar tones

    Update to previous post: I figured I'd give FracTool a spin and see what it shows for the Dream Tone presets. It turns out that FracTool shows the correct cab slot referencing user slots 50-67. So it would appear the presets are not corrupt in any way but instead my XL+ on Ares isn't importing...

    "Dream Tones" ML Artist Pack | Based on all John Petrucci's guitar tones

    Axe-FX II XL+ on Ares 1.03... When importing the presets the cab settings are not imported correctly. None of the presets are set to point to the user slots referenced, but instead are set to seemingly random cabs. For example, I&W preset is set to F182 (mic: none). SFAM imports pointing to...

    Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 1.02 Firmware Release

    I've been away for a few months and just tried to catch up reading through the previous threads. Simply amazing generosity and dedication from Cliff and FAS. With that said I still have two questions: 1) Does beta 1.02 include the latest Ares modeling changes he reported just last weekend...

    Weird guitar picking techniques

    I made it to 1:00 in and then had to walk away. Couldn't stand one more second of that dudes commentary. The most annoying personality I've heard in a long time.
