>>16985295there are people who think it will make fusion viable, but that's dumb. instead it has unique physical properties that can be used for various technologies. kinda similar to how asteroids look good because of the trillions of dollars of platinum group metals waiting to be mined

i've started getting patches and i have nowhere to put them. they're all sitting in a pile on the floor right now
>>16985364Get a denim jacket, one that’s just a little bit oversized (at least enough to comfortably wear a long sleeve and maybe a vest or lighter jacket underneath)Will serve you well during cool weather, also cold weather with layers. And will provide a canvas for patches
did they give up on the big door? Or is this just for starlink nowUsing this for anything other than putting large payloads into orbit for construction seems like a waste of time
>>16985367this is the HLS demonstrator. The astronauts just have to slide through.
People love dogs despite the fact that dogs' ancestors hunted our ancestors.Yet people fear spiders despite the fact that very few spiders pose any danger even if they bite, which they're not inclined to.So why is does this fear seem so innate?
>>16984626Read Jung.
>>16984713Taste is specifically a biological phenomenon to identify nutrition. Girl spiders who eat boy spiders after sex do so because they have small brains that don't care so much about taste, which is why women have more arachnophobia because they get scared of their spider junk DNA forcing them to eat men after sex and men taste bad, as established.
>>16984790Would this suggest a correlation between women not having arachnophobia and being more dominant in bed
>>16984626More skittering movements and limbs that make one feel they have to process more despite spiders basically never using their limbs to attack unlike many other predators with claws. Not knowing what spider it is exactly so the mind is often unsure whether it has a disabling/lethal bite. Unpredictable jumping ability and paranoia about it staying on you. Lastly, knowing you'll make a mess if you squish it on a surface/yourself and wanting to avoid that. Most people aren't practicing how to rationally deal with the scenario, so their minds often go into overdrive.
>>16984626It’s mostly a taught fear, not an instinctual one. If you visited a tribe in the remote Congo you’re probably not going to find any arachnophobes. There is an evolutionary precedent for being wary of fast moving creepy crawlies but that isn’t the same thing as fear and it isn’t specific to spiders. The idea that we would evolve a fear of spiders to avoid being bitten by dangerous ones falls apart when you actually look at where dangerous spiders live. There are no truly dangerous spiders outside of Australia and South America, neither of which had any pre-human Hominids
What if the Europa Lander finds complex life under the ice of Europa in the 2040s or whenever it arrives? Imagine discovering that life coincidentally also exists so close to our planet, and then remembering that we've been broadcasting radio signals over hundreds of light years for the last two hundred years.

My brain keeps selectively removing very important info about my life!How to stop this? (taking meds)(I found out about it from documents!!!)
>>16984464If you kept replaying it, it would create an interconnectable link and cause an effect on the universe. Depth of information causes a link.
>>16984464>My brain keeps selectively removing very important info about my life!That's called "forgetting." Try taking notes or something.
>>16985114>forgettingHow do you forget a very important thing, but you remember what happened after and before?!
if you forget something, it probably wasn't important

>>16985234The only reason I give a shit is that these flunkies not doing their job stops me from building my gizmos.
Is it normal, if not common, to doubt your initial chosen field?
Why can't unemployed CS grads just start their own companies? Overhead costs are so minimal because all they need is a laptop
>>16979975>>16980221Anyone?

Why can't they just cure this shit already? Biologics work well but then they stop working. Is it really that hard to just make a biologic that works forever? Why do I have to live the rest of my life in constant anxiety and fear that a flare can come back at any time and not know when or if the next drug I try is going to work?
Null theory is ultimately about making the most minimal claim ( nothing conceptually exists ) and subjecting it to the most simplest rule for growth ( A->AB, B->A : the fibonacci substitution ). That's it. I'm literally claiming nothing then picking the first rule that shows up and does anything non-trivial. What would physics look like if they had to be constrained to this rule?Well, it turns out it looks a lot like our physics. One of the core principles is that the behavior of fibonacci words ( and phi in general ) project upwards i.e. ABAABABA => no B's Touch => B-Repulsion => basis for causality and motion. the give of A/AA is a spatial basis.its about reducing complex phenomena to their simple origin or its vice versa, to navigate to complex phenomena through simple origin.The Theory of Nothing-v3.pdf has the complete derivation chain from O to CC/H, newtonian, relativity, etc. It goes over the connection and generation of the platonics and the gauge groups, introduction of 3+1d space/time, the natural and digital numbers, 3 independent routes of derivation that converge on the same thing, etc. All as forced actions. Its a discrete combinatorial with no parameters... There's no continuous number I could fudge even if I wanted to.This zenodo has the 3d hopfion viewer + orbital mechanics from first principles (along with the master kernel which produces all observables) https://zenodo.org/records/20349584?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9.eyJpZCI6IjY2NGZkMTg2LWNkNDctNGFjMi1iMzE0LWEyM2JiZDgzMTJkMiIsImRhdGEiOnt9LCJyYW5kb20iOiI4MGE1ZTczMzgyM2RiMTc0ODJmNzFlZmE2ODgwNGRmNyJ9.PNzWZrBLwiI7dnGhw2XAGmkXar9v3Mdd5SOLXmuypjAa1DITgXNte9rTc-Pn3UZXXTZHJC8OBFoML-xJ_DWKvg
>>16985345thanks! yeah I need to rewrite the bergmans and rewrite that section , I'll make a note of it. I did end up finding the actual rule I think yesterday, which is what the master expression uses. I didn't realize there was a discrepancy in the greedy search though
>>16985341perhaps you're right, I'm considering toning down the language. I'm going to look over everything and take these messages under consideration
alright guys thanks for the suggestion, I am cooked for tonight, gonna be doing revisions later
>>16985352You don't just need to rewrite that section anon you need to re-prove every theorem that used it previously and re-evaluate every time you use the concept of Bergman's corrections, since they might not be well-defined
>>16985346You're still being confusing. Is the modulus parity the expression "Det M = -1"? Is it the determinant itself? Is it your name for the two eigenvalues? You're doing math here, you need to rigorously define your technical terms (unless you're not using it as a technical term at all but just a conceptual catch-all)
When are we getting a cure for ADHD? When I was a teenager I thought ADHD was applicable only to people who are a nuisance, loud and wanted to be the centre of attention and who couldn't focus. Now in my late 20s I'm realising that there might be a large chance I might have ADHD as even though I was never a loud person around other people, whenever I tried to read or do something which required attention or patience I would constantly fidget or have restless leg syndrome or have racing thoughts at night and not be able to sleep, I would toss and turn and also be forgetful during the day which is terrible. When will we get a cure for this terrible disease?
>>16980055>When are we getting a cure for ADHD?it's called stop being a self absorbed insensitive asshole.
>>16980266>I made up this fan fiction to cover for the fact that I am a lazy asshole.
When we get less meddling from those "higher up", less "quantum entanglement", less radio towers and less people doing work that messes with our brainwaves and suchAlso ensuring that we are born properly so that we dont end up getting confused for others that end up cucking us out of our proper paths and order of processesAnd so on
>>16985183What is with these schizoposts on every thread on /sci/, I don't get it. Is half this board schizophrenics and the other half pseuds?

Unless you’re specifically concerned aboutcritical issues like job security or cognitivedecline, your reaction to advancements in artificial intelligence is ultimately a humility test.If you’re excited to see how sophisticated and capable AI can possible get, you passed.If you’re malding over your skill/knowledgepotentially becoming more accessible orless relevant, you failed.Generally speaking, truly intelligent people cansee the futility of pride.

what's the best online platform to learn maths and physics stuff online as a middle age crisis autodidact chud ? do online courses make any sense or is it better just to work through textbooks instead?
>>16984753pdfs of textbooks
>>16984753>actual sci content on /sci/Do you just want to learn or want a certificate at the end? Most of the peak intsitutions offer online degrees if you want le document.If it was going full autist into a subject without caring about credentialism I'd do some of the intro courses then read papers with llm assistance and shitpost with other autists on the niche forums. Plenty of weirdos out there trying to solve millennium prizes and such to talk with and learn the cutting edge.

What is the cause of the CMB Cold Spot?
Given the the temperature differences involved (~ microKelvin) it's hardly a cold spot. Our pattern matching brains are likely reading too much into it since the surrounding areas are "hot".
>>16984986The whole CMB is fabricated. It's all extreme noise and then people come up with filters to try to make it look smooth.
>>16985254no I mean the ecliptic

maybe they agreed to have cmb:less place
>Calcium is a metalWhat?
>>16982157anon... under the right condition hydrogen can exist as a metal.
>>16985178interesting
>>16982157Anon, of all the known, naturally-occurring elements in the universe, only six are known to exist in a solid, non-metallic/metalloid state at room temperature:Carbon, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Selenium, Bromine, and Iodine. A seventh, Astatine, could be non-metallic, but it can't be produced in sufficient quantities to know its bulk properties.Damned near fucking everything in the universe is a metal. It's just metal all the way down.
everything that isn't hydrogen or helium is metal
To an astronomer everything but hydrogen and helium is a metal
Natural selection in humans is a jokeEvery tiger looks the fucking sameEvery chimpanzee looks the fucking sameEvery penguin looks the fucking sameEvery human in an apartment complex will look drastically different from face composition, complexion, eye colour, height, sex organs, muscular insertions, every god damn thingNot to mention how common needing glasses is
Not 100% truePeople who work with animals for a living or out of fascination will start to recognize individual ones based on subtle differences. There's the cross-race effect where all Chinese or whatever will look the same to you unless they have strikingly unique features, unless you start living among them. Even within a race many facial features are subtle and a person with prosopagnosia for whatever reason (autism, schizophrenia, brain damage) will fail to recognize people based on their faces.
>>16975595What do you know of what is natural or not? Me fucking your ass could be natural to nature no matter if im gay or not
the ones that look even slightly different have a natural instinct to fuck off
>>16976426prosopagnosia isn't a diagnostic criterion of autism and schizophrenia and its prevalence in both is massively overexaggerated.
>>16975584you don't know how natural selection works. the reproducer is the winner, that's it. Doesn't matter if the reproducer is ugly and lame as fuck, the one who reproduce wins
