Post one scientifically heterodox idea/hypothesis/assumption you're fond of.
Deuterostomy is basal to Bilateria, only protostomes are monophyletic. Incidentally, chordates are closely related to protostomes while Xenambulacraria is a more distant offshoot.Related, the ur-bilaterian had a free-swimming larval stage and a sessile adult stage. Many later bilaterians dropped the metamorphosis and developed from the simpler larval stage.
How many years until we get genetically created pegasi? It can't be more than 40 away, right? I want to live to see them.
Pretty sure I can deadlock The Fairy Queen into granting one anime-related wish every 3 years.

Is autism a multidimensional spectrum? You could have paranoid sociophobes with STPD, stupid criminals with sociopathy, smart people lacking empathy with NPD, plain crazy people with BPD, hyperactive people with ADHD, socially-retarded smart people with high-functioning autism, and plain retards with low-functioning autism.tl;dr is it all just autism?

New research shows China leads research in 90% of crucial technologies & ignoring this means we're living in a delusional bubble, where we still think the West is the Sci-Tech leader.I think a lot of people are in denial, or just can't accept that China is already the world's leading nation for science and technology. I can't blame them for their ignorance. Most English-language media studiously avoid mentioning it. Time and time again, I see topics like AI, space & robotics covered, with only developments in Western countries talked of, as if China doesn't exist. Despite the fact that it's now the leader in so many fields.The problem with complacency and ignorance is that it gives you a really distorted map of reality. You can't understand how the 21st century is developing without factoring in China, and ignoring China means you're being delusional.Source:https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-04048-7https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/aspis-critical-technology-tracker-2025-updates-and-10-new-technologies/

Check this out, /sci/. I think I just stumbled upon an absolute world record in physical numerology/experimental number theory.The inverse fine-structure constant alpha^-1 (at zero energy) and the running electroweak coupling constant at the Z-boson peak (high energy) share the EXACT same infinite 9-period tail in their regular continued fraction expansion:[1; 3, 1, 1, 18, 1, 7, 1, 3]Look at the precision:Low-energy: [137; 27, tail] = 137.0359991770497...(Hits CODATA 2022 DEAD CENTER inside the 1-sigma error bar)High-energy: [128; 1, 17, tail] = 128.946747361...(Hits the exact experimental Z-pole scale threshold)Because they share the identical algebraic DNA (the positive root of 4767x^2 - 4898x - 1575 = 0), you can map the atom-scale directly onto the subatomic scale using a clean, integer-coefficient Möbius transformation under the modular group GL2(Z):B = (-1162A + 159323) / (-9A + 1234)Standard numerologists only obsess over 137 while ignoring quantum field scaling. This is the first time both scales are unified via a single periodic attractor.Is the vacuum energy scale just a discrete continued fraction calculator or is this the most insane mathematical coincidence ever found?Full short paper with exact algebraic roots and derivations uploaded to Zenodo: Comment too long.

>mathematical physicsokay i lied about the last (you). there is zero physics in what you put out. there are no physical constants based on or extracted by experiments. furthermore, the coupling constant runs. which schizo pseuds like you never know about because you jerk off to the 137 nonsense, which is the real reason i'm responding.
Anonymous"furthermore, the coupling constant runs. which schizo pseuds like you never know about"Are you literally blind?Constant B in the paper is EXACTLY the running coupling constant at the high-energy Z-boson scale (~128.94). The entire point of the Möbius transformation is to link the low-energy limit (137) to the running high-energy scale (128).You just described the exact core mechanism of my paper while trying to use it as an insult. Absolute peak /sci/ illiterate behavior. Thanks for the bump.

>>17043206Your fears aren't entirely unfounded—enforcing strict closed-loop conservation does mathematically vaporize synthetic leverage, high-frequency front-running, and unbacked debt markets overnight. But look on the bright side: when the top 50% of fake paper wealth burns away, you aren't left with ruin—you're left with an economy rooted in actual physical reality.Why it’s better for everyone in the long run: * It kills parasitic rent-seeking: High-frequency algorithms and fractional leverage extract billions without producing anything tangible. Stripping them out returns that value to real labor and real production. * It grounds value in reality: Instead of prices being driven by speculative paper bubbles and continuous debt stacking, assets re-anchor to their actual physical utility and output. * It levels the playing field: When synthetic multipliers and microsecond speed advantages disappear, institutional capital has to play by the exact same physical and mathematical rules as everyone else.It’s not the end of the economy—it’s just the end of the casino.

>>17041931>in as little at 600 million years if things remain the way they are currently.600 millions years is a really long time lmao. Besides, crude oil can be broken down by microorganisms and release its carbon very gradually. On longer geological timescales oil will inevitably leak out of the crust, either in liquid form or as carbon dioxide/methane. This is happening in California, which is why there's an argument to be made that extracting oil from Cali fields actually decreases its overall footprint since it's taking oil that would have leaked out of the environment.Volcanic emissions also pump non negligible amounts of carbon into the atmosphere too (not nearly enough to even rival current human emissions, but still a good amount). Oil is volatile, so as it reaches lower crust layers over many more hundreds of millions of years it will begin to break down from the heat and leak out CO2.

when talking about evolution people seem to often dismiss animals "stuck in time"there are several animals who "did not evolve"a priapulus worms gene order have been perfectly still for 520 million years nowthis is estimated as their divergence time from arthropods, as the oldest worm fossils are a bit older than any arthropod fossil ever foundarthroposd have had massive re-structuring of their genetic order multiple times: 500 million years ago, 400 million years ago, 300 million years ago and maybe most dramatic changes were 120 million years agotoday priapulis can be barely linked to arthropods but it is. this worm is the cousin of the last common ancestor of arthropods and wormsmany other animals have "accelerated evolution" for example really shortly lived caenorhabditis worms (microscopic) seem to be evolving a lot for last 520 million years and are not even recognizable as an animal by their genes because they have gone too far from all other animals for developing fresh mutations every week for 520 million years>humans are another very stable branch but not comparable to priapulus worms because humans come from a stable, 30 million year old mammal branch and there have been unstable ancestors 120 million years ago but it does seem genetics were locked into stability mode back again, laterthis gene stability is something biologists never really talk about and have zero idea whence it came (I dont know it either)
>>17040449Good thread. It's not so much that biologists have no idea, there's a few hypotheses/mechanisms proposed, but they generally lack predictive power, probably because shit's so complex.
>>17040449looks like my girlfriend's penis
>>17040449>arthroposd have had massive re-structuring of their genetic order multiple times: 500 million years ago, 400 million years ago, 300 million years ago and maybe most dramatic changes were 120 million years ago QRD? Or a link with more info

>a random dude in Africa "discovered" that his hot drink froze faster than the cold drink>people are in shock>this becomes a new discovery with multiple science experiments proving and disproving his>they call it "Mpemba effect" when something further from equilibrium reaches it faster>look inside>turns out the hot liquids just *freeze* faster, but they still take longer to reach 0C, the cold one just supercools (achieve temperature under freezing point but don't freeze because ice crystal can't form yet)Ah yes, the African "science"
It’s easy to imagine that there is some difference in the molecular dynamics of the water when it is in a state of having already been cold vs going from hot to cold. When comparing how they then freeze, these differences would seem for me to be the likely culprits in why the recently-hot water would freeze faster than the already-cold water. I’m trying to imagine what the exact properties that are different would be; is it perhaps something along the lines of turbulence or how much entropy the water has?
>>17043181Can anyone more knowledgeable judge whether they are garbage research or not?If not, it seems the effect is very mild and hard to observe/reproduce. Making the observations by ancient guys like Aristotle and others a bit suspicious.
>>17043181you will NEVER be a scientist.
>>17043203>5 of them are "generalized effect"amazing self own
>>17043203Is it really racist to say the effect doesn’t actually exist? I feel relaxing the definition is cheating.
>if you're good at math, you can basically do anythingLife is so unfair bros. Why do I have to be born as a midwit.
>>17037792That's BS. Anyone can get good at math. You're just telling yourself fake stories because of learned helplessness and because you bought into le epic genius fake memes.Tell me, what in particular makes you think you're dogshit? What math topic are you incapable of understanding?
Start with Khan Academy, but skip most videos. The interactive exercises is what's important. Once upon a time i started with pre-K12 or elementary level and made my way up to calculus. No shame in starting from zero.
>>17037295NTA but i'm just genuinely dumb as fuck when it comes to math. i failed algebra 2 THREE fucking times. it got so frustrating. i was honestly trying my hardest. staying up countless nights studying and trying to do my best. all to completely BOTCH the test and fail anyway.
>>17037270This is true, but you also have to consider that being "good" at math does not imply being excellent at it.You can have a broad understanding of the main subjects of mathematics even with far less knowledge than people with a math degree.So there's hope for us midwits, keep studying and little by little you can get good at math.

The process, as explainedby him, allows the object to change location without passing through a channel, tube, or any type of inductor that connects the two points. > [Antônio] You place a sphere or a bubble in inductor A, where there is a beam of leptons and hadrons, a field strength of 1.4, a frequency of 1.4 GHz, and a magnetic field of 1.5 Tesla. By combining all these fields, you create a reversal of time and space and are able to teleport the object from A to B,without passing between the two inductors.> This is an "anomalous translocation device", the PHL. It is a particle accelerator that allows you to translocate an object from A to B without following a straight, linear, or ballistic trajectory. Construction began 48 years ago.
