    Disagree on the semantics. Physical realities are concepts as well. “Energy”, despite being an extremely useful physical measurement, is an abstract concept. “Physical realities” and “concepts” are not mutually exclusive nor antonymous words.

    In this case, the Aries/vernal point is a concept used to define coordinate systems using physical measures from Earth.


  • Unrelated, but the other day I read that the main computer for core calculation in Fukushima’s nuclear plant used to run a very old CPU with 4 cores. All calculations are done in each core, and the result must be exactly the same. If one of them was different, they knew there was a bit flip, and can discard that one calculation for that one core.
