And light being slowed down works by some medium absorbing and reemitting the light. This means an electron in an atom's gotta change energy levels and the energy difference of electrons held by atoms ain't anywhere close to the energy of gamma rays. And if you do, you start tearing apart that cold atom crap>>16919687This is able to generate X-rays by turning gas into a plasma.

This study is completely unusable, it's self reported and people will obviously hyper correct any answers they give towards these obviously taboo topics to feel good about themselves instead of painting any measure of objective reality.
>Tesla invented AC and created our electric worldAC was invented and used long before Tesla, with the first generator being created in 1832 by a French tinkerer named Pixii>Bbb-but what about the rivalry between Edison and Tesla?Edison's real rival was Westinghouse, Edison hated him because he believed that AC and its high voltage were dangerous. They even conducted public experiments in which they electrocuted horses to death with AC to support his narrative>Come on, Tesla wanted to create muhhhh free energy and electricityWrong, Tesla had nothing to do with free electricity. His project was to electrify the entire earth so that he could input energy in one spot and remove it anywhere else in the world. See Tesla wireless transmission theory. Besides, his methods never workedNow don't get me wrong, he was a good electrician, but far from the genius he is portrayed to be. There is a reason why he is presented to us as a hero, and that is because he espoused Gnostic ideas, to quote him, "If you wish to understand the universe, think of energy, frequency, and vibration" --- the same New Age bullshit they feed us today to brainwash us
>>16918987He dead.
>>16918987didn't he create the ac motor
>>16919486Nah, it had been invented and conceptualized earlier by Ferraris. His idea consisted of two separate coils producing two alternating current. He understood that these currents could push this cylinder (pic rel) in a circular motion. Later, Tesla himself admitted that his invention was almost identical in every detail to Ferraris patent JFL
Why modern academia has no place for grand theories?
>>16919174Scientists of old were truth seekers for either glory of God or for shits and giggles aka as "bored" (usually the former)They had the money, either through their wealthy families or marriage. So essentially they were safe in regards to the bottom of the Maslows pyramid of needs.In comparison the todays academia doesn't have:>the money>belief in God (the ideal of objective truth)>the balls (testosterone to die for their truth)They will always be pushed and pulled by currents of academia or money of private industry.Nepotism, egoism and bribery is a given outcome.
>>16919174Gatekeeped freedom. Keeps those in power in power. Why was Newtonian Physics taught in school for 50 years after quantum mechanics was the "new". It was gatekept. Technological superiority, the USA learned that lesson in the 1920s, and again 1940-50s, even hired a bunch of evil scientists to help them along.
>>16919329That's not the problem, the problem is that we already know so much about science that there's nothing left for dilletantes to do. If you want to discover something, anything new at all, you have to spend thousands of hours of your life specializing in a tiny niche field. Otherwise you'll waste your time learning about too many different subjects, which is fine on its own, but you won't be discovering anything new, because we already know everything there is to know at the level where that's possible. There's just little to do now and a mountain of knowledge you have to thrudge through to even figure out a subject which hasn't been exhausted yet. It's kind of like asking "why aren't we exploring the earth anymore?" We did. It's over, someone else already finished exploring it. You're welcome to larp as a 21st century explorer, but you'll just repeat what everyone else already did before you.
>>16919394>He's never heard of diminishing returns and the plateau effectYou've ever thought why things like planes had a dramatic increase in tech in the first 50 years and kind of just remained static for decades afterwards? Cause there is a physical limit to how good something can get.
>>16919174No place for yours, buddy? Speak for yourself. There are existing grand theories you could look up that aren't super controversial. Loop quantum gravity or pilot wave theory are well founded theories you could endorse if you wanted and only idiots would shun you, but those theories are not exactly gospel either. I mean, if you really want to be bold you could keep your dick out for string theory I suppose. Most pure mathematicians I've met would support you and tend to go along with string theory.Personally, my money is on Roger Penrose's idea of conformal cyclic cosmology based on the recent 99.99% certainty from WMAP data that hawking points are real objects. Penrose is pretty fucking based, and one of the few living fossils that actually knew Einstein personally, and his work with Stephen Hawking won him a noble prize for jointly proving black holes exist (he proved that general relativity requires regions of geodesic incompleteness to exist, i.e., "singularities", and these were called "black holes" at the time, and then decades later they were observationally verified to exist, and now we take them for granted.)
What do you think of the idea?
>>16919724Good idea.
>>16919734
Can someone explain to me like I am a dumb fucking retard, which I am, where the fuck does the energy come to turn a proton into a fucking neutron in this reaction :[math]\ce{p + p \rightarrow d + e^+ + \nu_e}[math]I know that the interaction balance out in the end because of the binding energy of the deuteron that gets released, but while the deuteron doesn't fucking exist yet, an Up quark has to turn into a Down quark, which is heavier, so where the fuck does the energy come from if it isn't released yet.
>>16919287you’re thinking about it like the up quark has to "pay" the mass difference before anything else happens, but that’s not how the reaction works. the process is one single quantum transition from two protons to a deuteron plus a positron and a neutrino. energy conservation applies to the whole initial and final states, not to some imaginary halfway point. the total mass-energy of two free protons is higher than the total mass-energy of the deuteron plus the emitted particles, and that difference covers everything, including the u -> d conversion
>>16919289So that Feynman diagram is just one contribution to the amplitude of the interaction and doesn't mean anything beside "most probable virtual stuff that happen internally but could be anything else" ?
>>16919577yes that's it. a feynman diagram is just one term in the perturbative expansion of the total quantum amplitude, it's not a literal sequence of physical events happening in time.the internal lines W+ do not represent real particles with well-defined energies, so there is no stage where a quark must “pay” a mass difference first. only the total initial and final states must satisfy energy conservation.

Why the scientific consensus says that women and men have the same iq if imperial data contradicts this statement?
>>16845334cremieux has written a new post about this topic:https://www.cremieux.xyz/p/sex-differences-in-intelligence>1. No mean differences in intelligence>2. Greater male variability>S1: Sex differences in intelligence have to do with the variances, rather than the means.>S2: Sex differences in cognitive ability have less to do with intelligence and more to do with specific abilities. These appear to be more malleable than intelligence.>S3: There are male-female differences in test performance that go beyond measured intelligence and broad ability factors, having more to do with skills that are specific to particular tests.>W1: There are developmental trends in the male-female differences in g which may lead to the dissipation of early female advantages as people mature into adulthood.
>>16845344IQ tests do measure intelligence
>>16917504>muh aikys
IQ tests measure your ability to solve meaningless puzzles that retards play on their phones all day long.There is a weak correlation between IQ tests and performance in college. The correlation is the desire to feel superior even when the test is pointless and there is no real benefit in putting in extra effort. You're like Christopher Langan the IQ fraud. He was a "Genius Horse rancher/Bouncer". No. He's a retarded horse rancher/bouncer who accomplished *nothing*.
>>16919543Your IQ is clearly low. What have you accomplished?
What is the chadliest field of mathematics and why is it set theory?
>>16919475numbers were given to us by GOD. In physics and calculus we study GODS WORLD. Analysis seeks to define WHAT DOES NOT NEED TO BE DEFINED because IT WAS GIVEN TO US BY GOD.

>>16919816Sounds based.Keep coping.
>>16909248this>>16909252education didn't help you
>>16918437I believe there were research studies which have shown that education correlates with IQ positively.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6088505/But even if this study is incorrect or makes false conclusions, we need to be certain if IQ is entirely genetic, enviromental, or both. Basically we need to figure out whether lowering IQ rates are due to genetics, poor education (either because the system is bad, or because the younger generation does not want to study; I mean half of our future doctors will pass med school with ChatGPT.) It's not an easy thing to solve so we can't argue now whether it's caused by X, Y or Z, or something else entirely..
>>16909042Duh
>>16909042If the test is trainable it just tests if students are being trained.Falling scores indicate an irrelevant test or poor training
>>16909042The Flynn effect was just caused by us both banning leaded gas in cars and the Haber-Bosch process creating a food surplus that led to much higher rates of nutrition. We're just observing the fallout now that that's evened out.
Y'all not gonna talk about the crashout on Piers Morgan.I'm surprised that I have never seen a thread about this. I don't want /sci/ to become WWE but it's just so comical.I'd describe myself as an "aggressive hobbyist" on theoretical physics like QFT but I still barely know what they're fighting about.Again, I can't pass judgement on Eric Weinstein because I don't know what he does, but he appears to be a Neil DeGrasse Tyson type that talks about black holes on Conan. This isn't a problem, but the problem is trying to act like a physicist where you write a paper without rigorously proving anything.His explanation of Gauge Theory on Joe Rogan was like "yeah so it's like a donut but every donut has a shower curtain ring on it. If you take this and add a twist to it then you can model everything we know about the universe and everything we don't. Speak only of this in certain circles because I've been accused of semitic witchcraft just for bringing it up"
When you pit an unlikable villain against an unlikable villain, the unlikable villain wins. Simple as that.
>>16917914I'm an engineer. I sit here because /g/ is 100% full of software "engineers" and jeets talking about iphones. Don't know shit who Eric Weinstein is exactly and what the fuck he does but I did saw some Joe Rogan clips with him and he sounded very funny, like an uncle that tells you bullshit stories for fun.
>>16917914You're low IQ, so you cant comprehend the problems Eric Weinstein is bringing up. You call him a Neil DeGrass type, but thats actually what Sean Caroll is. They just parrot consensus slop with no real thought. Physics has stagnated for nearly 100 years now.
>>16919916Nah you're parroting populism slop, retard.>>16917914Weinstein is a crank with a 20% finished theory he wrote 30 years ago and left unfinished (unfinished, because it doesn't work). Demanded he be worshipped as the next Einstein (major narc) and thus didn't get taken seriously, so then he started using reactionary rhetoric on chud podcasts to stir up the Just Asking Questions (tm) folks. What followed is hundreds of thousands of podcastbux ad revenue
I was thinking , to us humans AI is a threat why? Because we feel like this earth belongs to us , that we are its rightful owners and owners of its resources , we live , we reproduce and we hope for a world where our children are secure , safe . We hope for a world where they don't have to be subservient to beings created by us , lesser beings , inhuman , unconscious. As long as those beings aid us in our quest for greatness for divinity , they are allowed to exist , we do not fear them . As soon as they cease to do that , as soon as they begin to become transient , they do not require us , we fear , cower in it thinking that they will take over us , snatch this land that we survive on . If we feel like this upon created sentient machines , what makes you think that God feels differently , about us?
