Replace material with real. Is it real? Then there’s something there to it. That’s material. To say something isn’t material is to say something isn’t real.
>>16869395Anon. Scientists not agreeing on words is the bane of science. Semantics is rot. It’s an actual issue. Google Search: “Does matter without mass exist?”Google Answer: “Yes, retard. Photons are a thing.”Google Search: “Is light a form of matter?”Google Answer: “No, retard. Light has no mass!”Fucking hell.

they will bump up against chaos because no one likes to organize chaos
>>16872130Jesus 12 papers in a year? Is that normal?
>>16872140Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma physics process crucial in magnetic containment fusion. When there are new developments (breakthroughs, if you will), lots of new science is published.
>>16872140Yes. Most of them are last author papers from his grad students and 4/12 are just DPP abstracts.

>>16872099i've taken several real math classes and i know what math is
>>16872103I don't believe you, but sure.If you like it enough to commit to getting a useless degree, yes pursue a BS in Mathematics. However, I can't say I would recommend it to anyone who intends for their degree to lead to a related job. If you intend to go to a field where just having the degree is what matters (like many government jobs), not the actual content, than I'd encourage it. If you plan on getting a job in math, then you're a fool.
>>16872125what would you recommend then? and why do you say the last part?
>>16872128I'd recommend you grow up. Since you're clearly too impatient to wait for that, ask someone who already has--your professors.

Is it too late to stop Global Warming? We aren't transitioning to renewables and electric cars fast enough and we're constantly hitting new high temperatures globally.We're getting close to having ice-free Arctic summers. We are already on average about 1.4 degrees Celsius hotter today than what we were in the pre-industrial era.

Cats understand the concept of reflections and representations. From the cat's perspective, they are looking at a smartphone screen. They see themselves and their owners on the screen via selfie cam. They don't think "that's another cat and person, not me". They don't think it's an unparseable and irrelevant 2d image. When the feline "face filter" is turned on, the cats are shocked and physically look up at their owners, because they know the person on the screen is them, and they want to see what the fuck just happened.

Chernobyl is actually not that dangerous of you have proper gear
>>16871930the problem is that isotopes ACCUMULATE through the food chain. yes you can visit chernobyl just fine, but you wouldn't want to live there, drink the water, eat from a garden and hunt in the forest. incidentally, because of that the wildlife is doing amazing. theres large populations of wolf, moose, european bison, beaver, wild horses... turns out human activity is more harmful than a reactor blowing up. some with the bikini atoll. theres no fishing going on there because its all irradiated and no theres large healthy coral reefs and incredibly healthy fish populations

Why the fuck have we not really moved past Schrödinger's cat and the double-slit experiment nearly a century later?
>>16871073>There's no "its just a math trick bro" argument inserted as a means to diminish wave function out of QM, when wavefunciton IS the QM.QM is mathematically richer than just "wavefunction" and oversimplifying it to such an extent does an (equally dimishing) disservice. Wavefunctions were already ingredients in classical physics, too, as demonstrated by the isomorphic Koopman-von Neumann theory, which restricts itself to only commutative algebras of observables.>A model with many worlds inside. Just as classical mechanics only allow one universe, QM allows many worlds.If that's the case, then a proposition, i.e. in QM an operator with boolean spectrum, of the form[eqn]\mathrm{World}_{0} \wedge \mathrm{World}_{1} \wedge \cdots[/eqn] should evaluate to True. But even for a 2-level quantum system (qubit) prepared in e.g. some cat state like[eqn]\lvert\psi\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \left [ \lvert 0\rangle + \lvert 1\rangle \right ][/eqn]we have[eqn]\langle\psi \lvert P_{\lvert 0\rangle} \wedge P_{\lvert 1\rangle} \lvert\psi\rangle = \langle\psi\lvert \left ( \lvert 0\rangle\langle 0\lvert\cdot\lvert 1\rangle\langle 1\lvert\right ) \lvert\psi\rangle = \langle\psi\lvert 0\lvert\psi\rangle = 0\langle\psi\lvert\psi\rangle = 0 = \bot[/eqn]...a contradiction.>We dont deny the reality of classical mechanicsThe scientific method isn't some egalitarian hugbox. Classical mechanics and the Laplacian universe it implies is wrong, incorrect, falsified, to the same degree as flat Earth. It's useful as an approximation under certain circumstances, as is neglecting Earth's curvature when using a metrestick, but has no scientific "reality".>Everyone now knows QM isn't the be all end all model of reality either. Strings's got infinite many worlds or something.QM serves as a framework for model building and string theory obeys all of its postulates. Multiverse scenarios in string theory have nothing to do with Everett's puerile sophistry.
>>16871111>MWI wasn't stupid, it was an attempt to get wf collapse indirectly from the other axioms of QM.Everett was an alcoholic coomer who couldn't even score a postdoc position. People already tried this decades prior, his thesis was peak midwittery, bordering on psychopathological before the insane ramblings about amoebas were removed by his adivsor, motivated only by his own poor reading comprehension of von Neumann's book, and contributed nothing other than spawning a bunch of cancerous pop sci misconceptions.

I believe in the theory of evolution by natural selection but I do not believe in abiogenesis. No matter how many organic compounds into a "soup" you will never get life. Shock it, boil it, blast it with radiation, it's not going to suddenly self-organize. The simplest possible living, self-replicating cell has more divine machinery than any scientific busybody can even observe let alone hypothesize its origin. The idea that only these insanely complex organisms remain while every single intermediary step vanished without a trace and fails to reemerge is absurd.
>>16870123Hi, Grok.
>>16870103>more ad hominems i accept your concession
>>16864714Molecules that don't replicate don't keep making more of themselves.It is a very basic blind type of natural selection. Where dumb and blind self replicating molecules are affected by a blind and dumb environment and the random molecules that are better at replicating themselves through whatever means perpetuate themselves while other types of molecules don't. And there is a selection for that which does it better.
>>16864551How many stars are in a galaxy, how many galaxies are in the universe. How small is a cell, how big is the surface of a planet. For how long did the universe exist?
So what's the alternative to abiogenesis? Panspermia is not an answer since that proto-life must have also originated from somewhere. And if that was created, by whom and where did that proto-life-creating creature come from (and so forth)?
“Alien life exists elsewhere. The odds are just too good.”“But alien life visiting us? No. Impossible. It could never happen.”Are scientists just retarded?. “No you can’t come here. We’re off limits. No way no how. Cope.”It’s fucking weird. Do scientists not consider successor theories to our own limitations? Do they think our limitations are everyone else’s limitations?
>>16869651Only inert space rocks. We could easily spot rockets being launched from all the way to Pluto. If any object in space was actually doing anything then it would be incredibly easy to notice. The issue with rocks is that they just aren't doing anything while aliens would be doing something which would make them easy to spot.
>>16870036Absolutely. They’d probably find it incredibly easy to hide extraordinary evidence to extraordinary claims. Humans arrogantly think we’d be able to detect them if they didn’t want to be detected. They could be beyond all our senses staying within higher dimensions for all we bloody well know.
>>16869358yet we get bested by metal tools, all it takes is for an alien to release a virus that makes humans engage in their deepest darkest desires, or overtake them with someone elses, it really is that easy human ego is unwarranted and i hope someone out there strikes it down like a whimpering ember
