If 85% of the universe needs to be composed of dark matter for general relativity to work the way it does, isn't it simpler to conclude that general relativity simply doesn't work the way we think it does?
When you presume that the standard model is correct, and that dark matter is needed for it to work, you're way more likely to just point at the few bits of evidence for dark matter detection and ignore all the failed attempts to detect it.
You've already decided on the conclusion beforehand. The experiments and research don't matter.

OK but the problem is that virtually every other physical phenomenon can be explained/predicted by general relativity and the standard model. So as well as explaining the same observations that dark matter accounts for, your alternative theory has to explain/predict everything else too.
>>
did our observations of large formations of matter billions of light years away (distant galaxies) necesitate the "dark matter" theory? Could gravity getting weaker over time (thus was stronger billions of years ago) explain this discrepancy? If for some reason gravity was losing let's say 10% of its strength every billion years how would we know this other than by making observations of distant galaxies? (and please nobody say "because the item we weigh on our lab scale today would weigh less tomorrow" or something equally stupid)

I want to get nuclearenergypilled. What are some good books about nuclear energy? Im mostly interested in the logistics behind it and how feasible it would be to carry out a nuclear trnsition instead of a wind/solar one. Im also fascinated by the prospect of nuclear powered cargo ships and other new developments in nuclear power.

EMpathy is the ability to UNDERSTAND someone else's perspective. You can fully understand why someone thinks and feels the way they do WITHOUT AGREEING with them about it. If you actually agree with someone's perspective you are expressing SYMpathy. I can understand that an addict feels they had no control over the situation, and even understand why they think that way; however, I don't agree with their perspective or conclusions and have very little sympathy for them. The complete misuse of "empathy" as never questioning or correcting or disagreeing with anyone because of "muh feelings" or whatever is a big part of the societal problem that anon was describing. You're not helping anything by just letting addicts shift blame away from themselves and never improve.

read: fancy plumbing. Because it uses conventional chemistry, yields drop exponentially with molecule complexity. It's neat tech, but sort of a distraction. The main motivation isn't automating chemistry, it's actually making chemistry reproducible. Chemists often forget to write down reaction steps, so reproducing chemical reactions is hard. Robots require that everything is written down. Cronin is very fucking based though. He's absolutely wild, he's trying to make what's basically the lifeform from the andromeda strain for shits and giggles. He's risen high enough that he can do and say whatever the fuck he wants.

lol no. They're incredibly paranoid. Rumor is they moved the entire company to Canada because they feared the US government would steal the tech. So no, they ain't publishing shit. They might even be planning to destroy all their work they did on bootstrapping once everything works. I think Drexler or someone else proposed doing that.
>>but it basically seems like it's a really souped up scanning probe microscope. Kinda of letdown.
If you're let down by actually trying to do mechanosynthesis you should get out of this thread. They're trying to bootstrap MNT

Why would they scared tho? Canada is practically an part of the US economically. Most of these guys seem American,

>> If you're let down by actually trying to do mechanosynthesis you should get out of this thread.

Don't get me wrong I think it's great anyone is working on mechanosynthesis. And glad that if it's true to seems they solved theoretical and practical problems to enable it. And maybe this Burton guy was lying at Foresight meeting, but from what heard it seems that they can't make useable machines from their research.
