There is no true muscle in the corpora cavernosa. You have to be careful about giving this sort of advice because some /fit/ crossposter gymcel is actually going to try it and then end up with a penis fracture when his tunica albuginea catastrophically ruptures. Then he can never get hard again. The funny thing is that that's the downside of all surgical and noninvasive penile lengthening/girth increasing techniques. As soon as you start making cuts in the tunica albuginea your penis will never be as hard again

It’s called spin because it couples particles carrying it to the electromagnetic field in the same way classical spin angular momentum does and contributes to the Noether charge associated with rotational invariance the same way spin angular momentum (a classical observable ) does.

The fact that it’s not actually associated with a literal rotation and transforms as a spinor rather than a pseudovector were discovered later, but the former two remain true.

I don’t understand why people have difficulty in understanding and imagining spin. Are it those who believe that wave function collapse is an actual physical thing?

>>
>>16831427
No. I remember Lee Smilin talking about this and he said that no one really understood this among the string theorists except the guy (Yau) who came up with it, along with Calabi presumably. Although he might be exaggerating. Basically the loops you are seeing are part of a torus, the parts where the surface pinches together is just where the torus closes up, so these images are in some sense a crosssection of the actual surface, which is higher dimensional anyway, and we dont get to see the whole thing. The string lives on the brane and the masses and path integrals are all calculated there without singularity or infinities. But there are more than 10,000 equivalent Calabi-Yau manifolds so they are back to square 1.

There's not really a lot to share outside of hiring season. Other than dooming and glooming about the absolute state of academia, what do we have?
Job-havers are busy with jobs.
Academics are abused cucks who keep going back to it despite the pay and conditions
That one math PhD is probably still unemployed and it's definitely a them problem not a math problem.

I guess there are the undergrads who keep coming here asking the same questions over and over again.

There is no special trick, no magic lecture or video series, no easy route. You read textbooks and practice solving problems. If you do not do that, you do not learn. If there are no textbooks, you learn by doing.

Hey /sci/, it's my first time here, I apologize in advance if I do not strictly follow chan etiquette. I'm in the search of new book about molecular biology, and i have already these in mind:
* Molecular biology of the gene (Watson)
* Molecular biology of the cell (Alberts)
* Molecular biology (Craig)
* Molecular cell biology (Lodish)
* Molecular biology (Clark)

I am looking for university-level books that cover the topics in a general way. I would appreciate any recommendations you may have in your area of expertise. Thanks!

which is based and correct. if someone is trying to get you to do something using reasoning you don't fully understand, preemptive attack is the best strategy to derail any schemes they might have going on.

after all, there's a reason why the average IQ has been naturally selected where it is. at some point you've got enough to survive even when facing vastly more intelligent creatures.

I made a logical error when building initial rapport. I won't go into details, because even though it was something small and innocent, it's still embarrassing and I'm still surprised of how I fucked up that bad. To give the image of being well traveled I mentioned I went to Poland when I was 12 or so. I then provided a myriad of superficial (the deeper you go, the easier it is to get tangled) of facts to back myself up. Shit I picked off reading reviews online. But I made the mistake of also mentioning the many brands of beer available, and told I counted there being around 30 in a single bar.

Did you watch the video? It was debunked. The issue was that when fuckers explain the quantum eraser, they leave out all the fine details of the experiment and only gave us the interpretation, which was wrong from the start. In the actual experiment, the actual data had to be processed after the experiment was done, and then interpretation of the process was made. This data processing fact isn't something most people knew.

In the experiment, there are 2 screen separated by distance that record the particle impact locations. When the eraser is off, the clone of the particle that hits screen 1 either goes into one of two detectors corresponding the left and right slit. This is true. They then tell you that on screen #1 you see two distinct left and right areas, as if the universe was yanking your chain and they stop treating them like waves. This is somewhat misleading. In reality, what you see is a huge blob of dots on screen #1, and it is only after post data processing from the two detectors that the blob of dots can be divided into two skinnier distributions whose centers are a distance apart. Something most people probably never considered was that those two skinnier distributions are both single slit diffraction (SSD) patterns - hugely important.

When the eraser is turned on, then instead of the two detectors, the clone hits screen #2. They then say that screen #1 has a double slit diffraction (DSD) pattern. This is true. They then say that it's as if the universe was yanking your chain and now they're treating them like waves. The yanking concept is misleading. In both experiments with the eraser on and off, the distributions on screen #1 are basically the same!
>As it turns out, it seems all DSD patterns are the same as the sum of two SSD patterns

cont.
>>
>>16831282
Suppose that screen #2 and the two detectors are very close so particles hit screen #1 after their clones. They would then say that since you know which way the clone went, say the left, you know which area on the screen the particle hit. But this is misleading, because it literally could be on the left or right side since the two SSDs overlap each other greatly! Instead, for each particle you can only give a probability of where it lands based on the left SSD.

Then suppose that screen #2 and the two detectors are very far away so particles hit first before their clones. They would then suggest something crazy like since screen #1 was hit first, it seems that the future impact on the left or right detectors seems to be affecting the past impact on screen #1! This turns out to be false. As each particle hits screen #1, you can give a probability based on the two SSDs overlap whether the clone is going to hit the left or the right detector.

Voila, QM is still annoyingly based on probability, but the universe is not laughing at you.
