I personally think the approach that will bring the biggest gains is either growing or regenerating organs in vitro or vivo. We don't need to know everything about how the organs work as long as the cells "know" what to do and build up a healthy part, and we can transplant it. As Michael Levin said, since human babies can regenerate the tip of their fingers, we must have a blueprint in our bodies somewhere for this sort of in vivo regeneration.

>you remember what happened to the indians when the spanish showed up?
NTA, Yeah, they died unintentionally by the germs and virus's that the Spanish brought with them. It swept across nearly the whole of North America at the time, if anthropologists are to be believed.

But I get what you're saying otherwise. You're talking about meta-materials. Still, there's no indication that the discovery of different unknown particles will assist in any way. There's the prediction of the "island of stability" but there has to be better ways than what we're doing now.
Look at how many times we've smashed shit at this point. The LHC is a waste of money at this point. We'd probably have better luck creating and manipulating artificial neutrinos and working off those than praying to hit the lottery by smashing shit forever and wasting money.
I've been following that work of Malcom Bendall with his "plasmoid generator" just to see how, exactly, CO and CO2 are being "transformed" into O2. Working from there and understanding the process seems more likely to end up with better results than the LHC. At least it's a solid starting point.
But hell, the science community is slow as fuck in looking into his work because they simply don't believe it's possible, even as it happens right before their eyes.

If you believe mathematical singularities(math error) are real physical objects that float around in space you belong in a mental asylum.

in the case of black holes thats already been done, the century old schwarzschild model has long since been disproved by subsequent science on many occasions, you're just not familiar enough with the nuts and bolts of the schwarzschild model to understand that its been disproved.
for example, the schwarzschild model was created on the basis of calculated limits for neutron degeneracy pressure, which is the pressure at which neutrons are no longer capable of supporting their structure and decay. back in schwarzschild's day neutrons were considered to be fundamental particles, so if they collapsed there was supposedly nothing left to support the structure. however subsequent science showed that neutrons are not fundamental particles and that they're made of quarks and since its been proved that quark degeneracy pressure has no calculable limits, its impossible for black holes to form in the way described in the schwarzschild model.

Why has the science been so wrong for so long about the causes and treatment of conditions such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, auto immune disease, etc, etc

Asia and Europe are not separate. Especially North-east Europe is not separate from North Asia. If you can characterise them as coming from Europe, then they could've still crossed at the same place.

>>16380058
No one is crossing such open ocean in that time. It requires sophisticated vessels and navigation to even achieve on luck, never mind do reliably (which is much more important, charting a reliable a route). But it is possible to get to North America from Europe pretty easily, I think doable in that time, but that is seemingly not the entry point of humans in North America and it is a big place in its own right. Part of the assumption is probably that Native Americans look Asian.

See
>Graphical description of the different sailing routes to Greenland, Vinland (Newfoundland), Helluland, (Baffin Island) and Markland (Labrador) travelled by different characters in the Icelandic Sagas, mainly Saga of Eric the Red and Saga of the Greenlanders. Modern English versions of the Norse names.

The sea between islands would've been walkable ice at that time. But even not being, it is easy to cross island by island. You just have to have a reason to since it's not obvious that there's better land further along. The migration of such primitive peoples is interesting in its own right. Migrating across such distances into unknown territory is not something you do on a whim. For Norse and other cultures, there was a strong culture of exploration and seeking trade.

if you live in a coastal location eating fish all day errrrry day and migratory whales come by to eat your fish twice a year and occasionally die and wash up on the beach reliving you mountains of fresh meat and blubber then you might start to wonder where the whales go to eat fish for the parts of the year they aren't in your region. so why not build a boat and paddle off into the sunrise and see if you can find out where the whales are chillin?

So it turns out that goldfish crackers contain yeast extract which is a contributing factor in brewers syndrome where your gut produces alcohol.

MATTIAS DESMET IS professor of psychology at the University of Ghent (Belgium). He is well known in academic circles for his research on fraud within academia: Desmet analyzes the psychology of the researcher who gives in to the need to provide interesting results. During the Covid-19 crisis, Desmet played a critical role in pointing out fundamental mistakes in the way in which Western governments responded: according to Desmet, the policies of lockdown have been more detrimental and harmful than the virus itself. Governments are hiding this fact in the statistics that count victims of the Covid-19 policies as victims of the virus, thus creating an ever-growing monster. In his new book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, he gives an account of how the mentality responsible for this mistake is shaped historically and psychologically.

At the origin of this psychology of totalitarianism is not some diabolical plan to control society, Desmet argues, but the way in which the world has become disenchanted: the success of science has led to a paradoxical “faith in science.” This faith in science is paradoxical because it distracts from the fact that science is essentially a methodology, not a consistent worldview. Taking science as a worldview, the world appears as a meaningless substance. As a result, the subject is cut loose from its traditional connections to the world and to society, which causes immense existential stress and anxiety. The ensuing atomized subject, Desmet quite plausibly argues, is highly vulnerable to totalitarian narratives.

Right now it’s one of those things where it can be helpful but only if you’re not totally ignorant about what you’re asking it. I posted an image from a set theory book about Hilbert’s Hotel, and it actually gave a great answer. There were some minor mistakes but the overall idea was there. I have asked it other things where I don’t necessarily use the answer that it provided but it gets me started towards the right approach for solving a problem.
