Other countries are doing shit like this too. This is a good thing. One of the theories about what will happen to the universe is that everything will die and it will be a freezing cold void. If we are going to do something crazy like create artificial universes or whatever the quantum guys have in mind, keeping the sun burning or making a new one will be vital. This is a big step in the right direction and something normal people wouldn't have thought about doing until it was too late.

Let's say a genie granted your wish for infinite monkeys. Imagine once per second, a random form of monkey spontaneously appears somewhere in the US. This process will never end no matter what. How long before the planet is uninhabitable? How long before the Earth itself is at risk of being destroyed by the sheer mass of simians? Assume the monkeys are otherwise completely normal, they can die, but like any matter they cannot be completely destroyed. The monkeys can generate at any height, so they might form on the surface and be fine, fall from immense heights or spontaneously form underground.
>>17006265Wouldn't the perpetual monkey manifestation prevent heat death precisely because each monkey spawns ex nihilo but alive, thus introducing negentropy?
>>17006370It made me laugh, therefore it wasn't useless
6 million monkeys would already be unreasonable to dispose of.
>>17006093Humans could essentially keep going like nothing had happened except for one thing which is accidents. If the monkeys can appear anywhere then they will cause a relatively high amount of accidents and general nuisance when ever they appear in the middle of a road or a backyard or something. Disposing off few thousand monkeys every hour would be tedious but easily manageable by an industrial society. For comparison we eat about 300 million cows year, 30 million of those in the USA and billions of chickens and fish and other smaller things. A monkey every second is merely 31.5 million monkeys that have to be disposed off so similar in scale to the cattle industry.Of course there would have to be quite a massive scale of monkey hunters and the like since they aren't conveniently all already in the farms like cows but I'd imagine we would simply eat most of them if monkey meat turns out to be any good. Burning them for fuel is probably the second option. Imagine the smell.If they can generate on any height then practically most of them will just spawn underground and be never seen or in the air and instantly die. Disposal would be more disgusting but much easier than if they just spawned on the surface and had to be caught before they cause trouble. The mass is totally irrelevant. 31.5 million monkeys * extremely heavy 0.5 ton obese gorilla is merely 16 million tons of matter which converted to say granite is a cube with a side length of 175 meters, large in human scale but to a continental plate or the volume of the oceans essentially nothing. Of course that itself is about a magnitude too big to account for small simians. If that much matter was dumped into the oceans it would raise the surface by about 15 nanometers a year, not quite a hundred million years for a meter, or hundreds of thousands of times slower than we are raising them by melting the glaciers currently. Sun would swallow the earth before this had a meaningful effect.
>>17006382Yes, everywhere except the dark monkey-covered Earth would be dead with maximum entropy, and then Earth and some space around it being sustained through neg entropy.

>>17007064>not an Scientific one.a*
>>17003731That reminds me, what does a materialist atheist think about the ontological standing of math? Does the platonic materialist reject the existence of the number 5 unless you can point to a pile of five stones? What if you separate the stones? Does five cease to exist?
>>17008132How can a number exist?
How can this be explained?
>>17007401yes.

Claiming to be gay on any application that asks is the easiest and if you aren't already doing it you're just dumb. Claiming to be a tranny might require slightly more commitment if there's an interview. Claiming to be black is the ballsiest depending on how much of a mutt you are.

Hello I am designing a hypothetical nuclear battlecruiser, and now her reactor.>PWR>~5% enrichment, flexible>O-shape reactor: horizontal fuel rods in lower cylinder. Water flows around to an upper cylinder where a bunch of tubes with turbine-water pass through, to make steam. Then, the core-water goes back down to lower cylinder.How can I design the lower fuel rod channels to allow easy refueling? My first idea was just to have a zirconium pipe and shove new uranium pellets in one end, it falls out the other, but this is kinda retarded because the heat wouldn't transfer to the water due to air gap.So what if>the fuel channel was stuffed with powderised uranium>or filled with water (not connected to reactor water) to transfer heat>a whole fuel assembly with its water included? the water wouldn't circulate with the rest of the corewater.>something else, idkReally just want to avoid needing to empty and open the reactor to refuel it. Chernobyl could refill in operation, why can't a PWR?
>I think if you were to use more enriched uranium then you could make refueling simplerCertainly less frequent/sizeable, but simpler?Also, would mixing graphite and water moderation potentially be safer? If you have enough water moderation you could avoid a positive void coefficient but adding in some graphite should make the reactor stabler under conditions like the BWR at La Salle 1988? (Water boiled to steam -> no moderation -> cools -> steam back to water -> repeat)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaSalle_County_Nuclear_Generating_Station#Incidentshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZiKXMgIKGg
>>17007698>I also don't understand how the pellets falling out and over the channel was allowed to be such a problem at Windscale, when the fix could be $20 worth of chain-link fence.stupidity and cutting cornersit was weapon production program so each delay had political costeven installing of the filter on top of the chimney was seen as controversial because cost + delay>unitsdon't use imperial pleasenobody in academia (even US one) uses imperial unitsit's all metric>btw, if ~194 MeV is released per U235 fission, and ~2.4 neutrons are released at 1-2 MeV each, that means about 98% of the energy is released as heat into the fuel right, only 2% in moderator/absorber? good first order estimatesome of energy will be carried by neutrinos which will just harmlessly escape the reactor so it should be even lower than that>Certainly less frequent/sizeable, but simpler?smaller reactor size for same power so more space for shielding / machinery and stuffall nuclear subs use more enriched fuel than usual powerplants because of that advantage>Also, would mixing graphite and water moderation potentially be safer? yes but I'm not sure about the proportionsyou would need to get some specialist data about neutron velocity distribution depending on the thickness of graphite and waterI'm not sure this data is publicly available (but it should be easy to obtain for anyone that has some radioactive material so maybe they don't care about secrecy there)Comment too long.

>>17006388>refuelmost modern naval reactors are designed to never be refuelled for their operational lifespan.
>>17008073well yes because you can lift it out of the ship in the case of carrier (and no other way to safely refuel that), or in the case of submarine you have no way of removing it without cutting out the entire sectionin the case of battlecruiser you wouldn't have a large flat space and it would be even less economical to cut the ship apart for the sole purpose of welding in new reactor compartmenthmm what system do nuclear icebreakers use? russia has at least one
>>17007825>unitsI know nobody uses imperial for nuclear stuff (I even asked my dad who did an electrical PhD in the USA, he said it was all metric) but it made a bit more sense for naval design, I think even today wikipedia quotes displacement in long tons.99% of it is the same as using metric anyway, so many units I use are just the same derivatives of length/mass/force and it's the same except swapping m/kg/kgf for ft/lbm/lbf, maybe with long tons or inches thrown in. I started doing imperial-only for the 'challenge' but it hasn't changed anything much except for that one time I mixed up psf and psi.then my Aussie uni (officially metric since the 70s) just somehow dumps TSF (short Tons per Square Foot) on us, though the Indian instructor didn't even know what it meant except a conversion factor to kPa.>good then but is the system engineered in a way that moving parts getting stuck will block the access to the reactor? that is my concern thereProbably, but if so it would only affect individual fuel rods. Probably.>>17008125>>17008073It is still possible to hoist the reactors out (through pre-planned routes) but it'd still be a huge pain. If you can refuel without that, you don't need to use high enrichment uranium, so it's cheaper (main reason) and nobody spergs out about nuclear proliferation. (Assuming you aren't the USN, nobody gives a fuck if they build another ship with 80%+ enrichment)Because so much of the weight is armour, there's lots of space you need for buoyancy anyway, so setting aside some room to move reactors in/out isn't that hard. It'll probably be free 99% of the time anyway, for storage or as an indoor basketball court or something.

Decades ago it decided to become the best in the world. Scouts scoured each and every village to find the most talented kids. It did not matter if they were rich or poor, black, brown, or white, lived in a village or a big city, had powerful parents or were orphans. If they were good, they were supported, mentored, tracked and trained. And eventually, the country won. Time and again ... Until there was no doubt they were the best. Brazil beat the world five times. The tragedy is that Brazil chose to do this in soccer....Meanwhile, South Korea chose to do exactly the same thing ... in math and science. Very different outcomes."South Korea used to be below Brazil on almost every development metric. Now they've left most of their former peers in the dust.
