I'm in hurricane country and got hit hard last year, but we kinda need one now. It's been terribly dry all this year and we need the big storms to come along and refill the aquafers, as well. Not a city-killer, or anything, but a couple Tropical Storms would be perfect.

Classically we beieved there existed small ampere currents in magnetic material which were so aligned not to cancel out as in most materials and instead it alligned in scuh a way where it produces a magnetic field.

Nowadays, QM says it has something to do with spin or something I dunno. Best answer is we don't really know we just have okay models.

Well you are a single organism made of tons of organisms. You are more so the bacteria in your body than you are your body. Study biology. People get lost in thinking of themself as who they are rather than what comprises them. A car without an engine is just rolling chunk of metal. You without bacteria do not exist. You are a bunch of single cell organisms escaping chaos. You are literally in heaven compared to most organisms. Enjoy it. Relax. It's alright anon.

no. you're right that dipole-dipole interactions are tiny, but ferromagnetism comes from the interchange interaction, which couples spin and not orbital angular momentum.

Is anyone here developing quantitative methods to trade on prediction markets? They seem suited to blow up in popularity over the next 2-3 years.

Yes, the richest hedge funds hiring the top math geniuses have been, for decades.
You are not gonna beat them.
If you are smart you can go work there and make bank.
But there is a huge wage discrepancy between the top ones and mid ones.
Top ones is literally millions tiers, because they are the ones setting the market through your math, and influencing everyone's money.
Mid ones is just average STEM salary, cause they are kind of irrelevant.
>>
>>16809909
>You are not gonna beat them.
Prediction markets are a relatively new type of market (in terms of volume and liquidity, not as a concept). There's no significant presence from top hedge funds yet, so there are still plenty of inefficiencies to capture.
Also, the "you are never going to beat them so don't even try" advice is so tired and worn out at this point, and only true if you're attempting to stat arb trade options or some other gigaboomer market that's been around for the last 35 years. At the same time, 4chinners can't resist mentally gooning by blackpillslop posting about how nothing really matters and nothing is ever worth doing, so posts like this are to be expected and have no inherent value.

I'm talking long term here. After you've mined all the water in a given area it would be prime real-estate for a solar hydrogen farm.
something like this >>16810754

I just don't know if there is a material that is:
- readily abundant in large quantities or easily made in abundant quantities
- very reactive with the solar wind hydrogen ions
- can easily be separated from said hydrogen
- can easily be placed and gathered
- can be reused infinitely or at least multiple times over

If it's present on the moon that's a bonus but not really necessary if it's reusable.

The isolation layer would also have to be non reactive with the hydrogen for obvious reasons and also be a good driving surface so your automated machines can go in and scoop out the hydrogen-doped material for processing.

So according to that physicist on Joe Rogan, distances shrink as you achieve certain speeds.

My question is will the distance keep shrinking and getting closer and closer the faster you go like half the distance to the goal line repeating forever... or can you go so fast that you enter into negative distance like you go so fast that you get there before you leave like out of phase with reality or whatever?
>>
>>16810122
Currently accepted models say the closer you get to the speed of light, the smaller the distances become for you. According to the math of these models the distanced can get arbitrarily small but not 0.
>>
>>16810122
Its more like with decent speed a distance is 6000km - for you - but with a sizable Fraction of the speed of light the distance is suddenly just 4000km - for you
>>
>>16810178
no it becomes exactly 0 because physicists today believe infinities exist
>>
>>16810334
No they use infinities as an abstraction to describe limiting behavior and you're too retarded to know the difference

>he agrees and corrects it
doesn't this interaction prove that sometimes experts can be wrong and uneducated people can be right? why are experts dismissing regular people that have new ideas about their field of expertise? for example cosmology doctorates dismissing me when I tell them the speed of light is not constant? shouldn't they take my suggestion seriously and at the very least check if I'm right or not?
experts can be wrong too, claiming they're not is disingenuous
with the amount of mistakes I found on my professor's notes, I can eeven say that normal people are right way more often than experts

This is true for STEM and some humanities. Being an expert on opinionated fields is worthless. If nobody in a field can agree on even the most basic things, that necessarily means an expert is as about as likely to be correct as a layman.

Hi guys, I think there must be a thing in your head, checking your information for certainty. For now, if there would be a working device on that, like Geiger counter, no one would even be able to believe it (as you laugh at religious people "god? you didn't even check if he exists!" and you fall in your own trap with science, which was checked only at approaches to you, but not in your head).

Descartes must have joked, as there were no scientific check of our heads on certainty of thoughts, and he says brain knows for sure.

You believe science is all books? Only if magic exists guys, you are funny, as you are not scientific and don't fullfill such dialogs about deeper things (than Einstein's brains' conclusions, for instance, or whatever, there were even no computers at that time!).
