Why is Japan the only country that discovered that the human body is 70% water? Why didn’t other countries research the water contents of the human body more extensively than the Japanese? Where the fuck is the peer review? Do Americans not have the balls to replicate this research?

Yup! Doctors dont need two years of college in the humanities to do their jobs. I dont care if the guy checking me for a hernia is familiar with Shakespeare, just heal me! Its all a clever scheme by the government and corporations against the american people. They pay actors in middle school to pretend they have ailments for med students to diagnose them. What a waste of money and time! There is millions of low income people that would gladly get seen by med students. Same way teachers got fearful of how easily they were replaced by computer programs during the pandemic. Turns out, they are very expendable.

>>16994295
>Why
Test trials and studies show that there are still cases where doctors outcompete humans, and when you are asking this from normie point of view and dont give a fuck about some studies then the fact that they are still employed is the reason why they are needed, because normies think that so long as you have a job you are still needed.

At certain things. Elon and Jeff are rivals but Jeff is only just getting into relanding rockets while Elon seems to be focusing on payload, bigger rockets and the starlink internet thing. Competition is good and them concentrating on slightly different things is great for the space race since NASA, who have the most data and technical expertise aren't trying to do what Elon and Jeff are doing. And if they keep choosing SpaceX for everything then it will create a monopoly and we want Elon and Jeff to have a bit of competition.

was playing around with the Margolus-Levitin theorem, Landauer's principle and Zurek's quantum darwinism self consistency condition applied to a local CMB radiation field and got a minimum information threshold that falls out purely from fundamental constants
Imin = (2π6/135ln42)^(1/4) ≈ 2.803 bits
no free parameters, temperature independent from 2.7K to 3000K

pic rel is used to generate self consistency condition X/(imin)^3 = imin from R_delta = S_local/imin and R_delta = 1

At everyday speeds it's not something that you will ever notice. At 1% the speed of light you mentioned the difference between "normal" perspective and relativity is still only 0.005%. For there to be even a 1% difference (time dilation / length contraction etc) you need to be travelling at 14% the speed of light (42,000 km/s).

How do these UFOs fly around?

Don't UFO's suggest that a Superfluid Vacuum or BEC vacuum is real?

Possible theories or a combo

Use a superconducting Josephson Junction Stack of by bismuth, magnesium, zinc and maybe silicon at 4 nm to emit high field strength electromagnetic waves to separate the craft from the BEC, dropping the craft into a lower vacuum energy state, freeing the craft from relative gravity, inertia and mass.

Use a metamaterial that contains the wave within the skin of the craft but essentially does the same thing.

Use a coherent plasma lattice to separate the craft from the BEC like ball lighting or EVOs.

All three could possibly do the same thing, and interestingly matches descriptions of different UFO crafts.

Based on Fravor's description of the encounter, I think the Tic Tac is some kind of beamed power rider. Fravor descibes the water above the large, cross-shaped submersible as appearing to be boiling. A sufficiently powerful microwave or millimeter wave source would do that. The Tic Tacs appeared around this object and displayed very high performance but perhaps limited range away from the power source.

>autism [does not] makes someone smarter or dumber
>autism seems to impact people along the entire range of human intelligence
Same-anon. I realized these two are different claims which can be investigated independently from each other. I think the first one can be analyzed by proxy by looking at twin studies.
Also I disagree with myself about the first claim. Autism or its underlying causes seems to be a handicap for many people; no doubt it can have some effect on intelligence. But how could we compare within the same person, what outcomes they would have when they do have autism and when they don't? It does not seem to be something that can be turned on and off for controlled blind test experiments
>>
>>16996673
>>16996071
This is true but also a neurotypical person with a given IQ score will have a significantly easier life than their autistic counterpart until you get to very high IQ scores, and even then it's not guaranteed. A normie with an IQ in the 90s will have a boring job but enjoy a social life gathered around sportsball or whatever while also finding a mid woman, an autist with the same IQ will barely be able to hold a job at all while being locked in isolation and loneliness.
A hallmark of autism is also having very uneven abilities. People ITT post about a dichotomy between screeching self-harming tards and weird geniuses but a bulk of autists I've met IRL were folks who you wouldn't suspect of being retarded on a surface level but once you spend time with them you'll see them do bafflingly stupid shit that dumber normies would never do. Of course there's an anthropic principle thing going on because you will not find the severely retarded ones in normal schools, at work or social settings.

Science is a few things:

1. Knowledge (this is where the word comes from) to be acquired and information that can be applied (technology, chemistry, cooking, etc, are all applied sciences)
2. The method of “fuck around and find out” (causality/repeatability as it is - with the additional nuances of the reproducibility crisis - each stroke of a paint brush won’t be exactly the same - things like the big bang already happened - etc) which is the bare minimum of science - “remember kids, the only real difference between proper science and fucking around is writing is down”
3. The scientific community and overall consensus, peer review, scientific dogma (consider that half of the scientific community can’t even tell you what a woman is - it is perhaps a borderline cult at present), etc, that ostracizes dissent and divergent thinking
4. Physics, nature, reality, as it is - Einstein himself did not see science as merely something to apply in the one sided sense; he saw it as a background symphony, playing its cosmic tune independently of our ability to listen in; it lies in wait for all time; “the music of the spheres”; he directly compared it to Mozart “locating” already existent beauty, or harmony, while people like Beethoven merely constructed their music

Any questions?
