Shouldn't gases with only three translational degrees of freedom have a higher diffusion coefficient than a gas with additional rotational and vibrational degrees of freedoms, because they don't have to distribute their thermal energy towards these rotational and vibrational degrees of freedoms, which don't contribute to the diffusion coefficient?

Short version - As much as we all get irked by popsci faggots, the bottom line is that 99% of the human race don't get their cocks out (or their checkbooks) for binary light curve measurements or Langmuir probe sweeps or particle pair correlation plots like scientists do.

Non-scientists have to be persuaded that all this science shit that they don't understand well enough to see how it impacts their daily lives is still worth taking a big bite out of their paycheck to fund, and popsci faggots do that by (for lack of a nicer way of saying it) trying to dumb down the material in a way that doesn't come off as patronizing to laypersons.

Where it becomes a problem is when the popsci faggots think their ability to translate research for laypersons makes them equivalent to actual researchers or puts them in some kind of special position to dictate what government policy on research should be. NDT is particularly bad about this, and buys into his own PR too much.

>>
>>16180002
Oil is extracted from rock at depths below 5km by various gases and fluids which in a supercritical state at the depth, it works the same way supercritical solvent extraction does in laboratories, the solvent releases its extract ones the pressure on the solvent becomes low enough that it can no longer maintain the supercritical state.

>Why do scientists brazenly maintain this antiquated model of Earth's core?
The two articles you listed don't contradict the model...
Yes, for many kilometers below the earth's surface there are micro-organisms living in rocks in very low concentrations. Also there is a tiny amount of water in almost all rocks.
There are even pockets of super-pressurized water, air etc.
No it isn't literally an inverted ocean and amazon forest inside the Earth you dumb fuck.

Low concentrations of life deep in the Earth can easily exceed that at the surface because you're comparing huge amounts of volume with just the two dimensional surface of the Earth.

This is the same reason for why the most common fish in the ocean is a deep-sea bioluminescent fish.
Although there is a far greater concentration of fish at the sea's surface a large volume of deep sea low concentration easily out-numbers it.
The fish are the Cyclothones.

Climate change is real, you're just too pussy and scared to admit it because accepting climate change means democracy is a farce, 'peacetime' is evil, and that billions must die. You're no different from the liberals who think they can save the world by insane self-sacrifice (eating the bugs and living in a pod) instead of attacking and eliminating cultures that do not meet climate goals. You're just a coward.

The great men of the early 1900s would have acted differently and fought the problem with passion, even if it meant being the bad guy. The west has fallen. We were meant to be the praetorians of mother nature, and instead we chose plastic slop and oil (the devil's cum) instead of based nuclear energy and wood, steel, and glass (god's natural gifts to the world0.

Mechanics. I had a hard time with the mathematics in my intro courses, a lot of the time it felt like the shit we were introducing was just needlessly complicating things, or coming out of nowhere.

Mechanics was the point where it suddenly all clicked that we jump through all these hoops of redefining coordinates, or reformatting problems to take a particular form, and so on is just because it turns otherwise unsolvable (or at least annoying to solve) problems and turns them into solvable (or at least slightly *less* annoying to solve) problems.

Have you ever done any digital controls stuff? If you have them you should be able to implement PID controls pretty easily via for loops in pretty much any programming language.

One of the cooler projects I did for undergrad was using a PID controller for simulated automatic insulin delivery with a continuous glucose monitor. There's already been papers on this topic so it certainly wasn't original research or anything but it was cool to figure out.

There's tons of little things like that you can do with control theory.

Why are midwits so obsessed with the idea of nuclear energy when renewables have easily eclipsed them in nearly every way possible over a decade ago? Is it just the "i hecking LOVE science... stupid greenpeace hippies don't understand how safe nuclear is..." identity factor? Imagine spending over a decade to build a nuclear plant that costs 15x more than the equivalent amount of solar panels and battery capacity added together. There's a reason why neither China or the US does that at any real scale anymore.

Then when you point this out it's all "molten thorium small scale nuclear fusion reactors are just around the corner, just wait, they just need more funding," when you could just be developing solar and wind farms instead.

That would be a good job for AI: picking apart old panels. It is not unheard of for a new technology (e.g., oil refining) to be very wasteful (e.g., unwanted fractions ending up in rivers) until the necessary adjuct tech is developed (e.g., cracking towers).

Aspiring doctor brain dead after friends pushed him into lake knowing he can’t swim

https://nypost.com/2024/05/04/us-news/louisiana-aspiring-doctor-christopher-gilbert-left-brain-dead-after-friends-push-him-in-lake-to-drown/

An aspiring medical student was left brain dead last month when his friends pushed him into a Louisiana lake knowing he couldn’t swim — and then looked on while doing nothing to save the drowning man, according to a report.

Shocking video shows the group casually peering into the water moments after they shoved Christopher Gilbert off the dock at Lake D’Arbonne in Farmerville on April 14.

At least one woman can be seen slowly entering the water before abandoning the rescue mission.

It was another 10 minutes before a patron at a nearby restaurant intervened and yanked Gilbert back to land — just in the nick of time.

Blacks have higher bone density, smaller trunk size with smaller lungs, more muscle and less fat. All these things make them less than ideal floaters. It really isn't that much about swimming as a skill, their bodies just sink, even more so if they are fit.

i agree since i lost those friends when i turned 30. no point found by them to use logic, to use reason. it was all a play on a stage to them, actors and actresses, saying nothing. exit stage left!
one displayed consistent stupidity, as per the lack of interest in reason. he never realized anything about that. i told him he had no self respect. he left his phone w/ rubber case on top of a friends car who drove off for a 30 minute drive. it was still on it hilariously, got it back.

I've lived my whole life in a city located 50 km away from the sea, with a river running through it and a series of lakes nearby and i can't swim. In uni during swimming classes i was one of 2 people who couldn't swim among a ~hundred. I don't want to drown and generally see no reason why i would ever need to swim. I'm not from the US if it matters.

Apparently even female chimps get wet for Chad.
Not only that, but male orangutans find gingers attractive, and in Japan women would go to a zoo exclusively to see a silverback they found "handsome". I even remember a r*dditor confesing that his gf once had a crush on a zoo gorilla.
