>>16842520Why we believe in inflation, is because the observed size, does not match the observed age.The universe expansion itself is not bound by the speed of light.Stellar evolution indicates 3 generations of stars, roughly 13 or 14 billion years.The size looks much larger than the age Indicates it should be.

>>16840876>The atom is not a single individual electron, or photon being transferred, or the nucleus, but the emergence of the combination of all of them together.OK but we actually know that the strong force creates the remaining mass in the nucleus through E=mc2. The inertial mass resulting from the galaxy's motion and interactions is already considered when calculating their total mass. Also how would that emergence specifically cause haloes and subhaloes around galaxies?
so tell me: what is the yeild if the bottom one was 2.5 miles away from the cameramanAlright, let’s tighten the estimate with your new distance: 2.5 miles (≈ 4 km).Step 1: Fireball size at 2.5 milesAt 4 km, the apparent fireball in the photo looks quite large compared to nearby buildings. If we assume the fireball subtends ~5° of the camera’s field of view (a reasonable guess for how dominant it looks):Angular size: 5° = 0.087 radPhysical diameter: D≈d⋅θ=4,000⋅0.087≈348mD \approx d \cdot \theta = 4{,}000 \cdot 0.087 \approx 348 \,\text{m}Step 2: Yield scalingEmpirical scaling laws (from U.S. test data) suggest fireball radius RR scales with yield YY approximately as:R∝Y1/3R \propto Y^{1/3}A ~350 m fireball diameter (≈175 m radius) corresponds to a yield in the tens of kilotons range.For comparison:Comment too long.

radioisotope monitors all over europe would be blaring alarm bells if a nuke had been used, comrade
>>16840912>yeildnuclear detonations have specific charateristics that are significantly differant that non nuclear explosions.
>>16840921Long before that, the nudets in Navstar satellites would fire up the L3 signal.
>>16840912It could have just been a lot of ammo.
>>16840921This. It would literally be all over the news, and US Constant Phoenix sniffers would be airborne (and trackable vias ADS-B) attempting to get samples to forward off to the NNSA to figure out where the nuke came from based off radioisotope samples from IAEA inspections. It would also be instantly detectable from Russian/US/Chinese x-ray/gamma detection satellites. No double flash = no nuke
This is probably more like a vent post but its been on my mind for a while. How come so many people seem to look at Sci-Fi/Cool space shit as some super weird niche? I know many personally who look at it like it's boring, and they just perpetually stay in their realm of fantasy novels and such... but as for myself I have this insane wanderlust for space and even just staring at the barren nothingness on Mars or the frozen surface of Europa just fills me with this weird Awe.Did we lose our Imagination somewhere along the way? Maybe you can blame it on the end of the space race or the global economic troubles down here on Earth or what have you, but I remember a time where a genuine future in space was a feasible idea, but it seems most people just don't care for the final frontier like they used to. Am i alone in this?
>>16844533We had a period of rapid technological progress in the 20th century that led to an optimistic exuberance about the future which has since stalled. Being unsatisfied is an important part of life, we would still be living in caves if we didn't yearn for something more.
>>16844533There's scifi as a means to envision a reality of the future and there's sci fantasy as a means to escape away from reality. First one wants to bring about the change, second one is hiding from it. Scifi in the west, like almost western literature-media today are garbage because of political propaganda.
>>16844533>Maybe you can blame it on the end of the space race or the global economic troubles down here on Earth or what have youYes. What exactly is the question here?
>>16844533Scifi is fantasy, my friendYou are no more likely to eat food grown on Marian soil then you are to isekai into an elf haremIt's OK to like space fantasy stories just like it's OK to like fantasy stories with elves and dragons, but if you invest emotionally on these things happening in real life you are bound to get hurt
>>16844533I think it's partly because they don't realize how wast our universe is. Just our own galaxy is so unfathomly gigantic. The more adventurous normies probably get that existensial dread sipping in and nopes out.

Did Einsteins work directly impact the development of the Atom bomb? From a scientific or engineering standpoint?
>>16844342> would it have happened anyways?Not before the war ended.
>>16844318No. The famous equation E=mc^2 allows you to calculate the mass energy conversion. But with an atomic bomb it is more complicated because not all of the fissile material converts into radiative energy. There was nothing complicated about the inner workings of the first atomic bombs, they're just bashing things together, but even here he contributed nothing. The really accomplished work was done in the mining and refinement of the uranium yellow cake, all of which was done by geologists, engineers and chemists.
>>16844318he was approached in 1939 about thw concept, and he helped convince the US that they needed an atomic bomb programnot like he officially worked for los alamos, llnl, or oak ridge, but he was friends with and often wrote basically all the head scientists at those facilities
>>16844318
>>16844322he proved it was possible. it's not an exaggeration to say that without his mass energy equivalence, physicists wouldn't have thought it possible to construct atomic bombs
What do you think is the hardest step to intelligent life? (assuming the previous step was complete for 2 and 3)1. Abiogenesis 2. Complex multicellular life 3. Intelligent life and civilization
>>16843547They all required eukaryotic cells, which seem to have been a one off. They all share a common ancestor with a eukaryote. And it took over 1.5 billion years from life starting for the nucleus to evolve
>>16842514Abiogenesis is the biggest golem in science. Nothing makes sense about it, yet we're supposed to keep doing experiments trying to prove it.
Based off our small sample size we can quite obviously assume that step one is the biggest hurdleWe do not see any proteins or amino acids anywhere else, and in the one place we found them we got the other two steps>>16842531le retard
>>16844562You have been fed bullshit by religiously motivated think tanks and are passing it off as genuine knowledge of biochemistry
>>16844584>No! You can't criticize origin of life research! You must be a religious fundy!
>muh causes>muh effects>muh causalityYou realize this is pure head canon, right? You can't demonstrate that something "makes" something else happen. You can't even explain what it means for anything to "cause" something. All you can do is observe a recurring sequence of events and fill the logical gaps between them with this mysterious "causality".Consider how differently a murderer, a pathologist and a cellular biologist see a victim's cause of death: for one, the death was caused by stabbing the victim in the neck; for the other it was caused by a ruptured carotid artery; for the last, it was maybe some cascade of necrotic cellular processes. Each one will treat his "X causes Y" just-so story as an adequate and objective explanation, oblivious or indifferent to its failure to completely rule out other conceivable outcomes.No matter how much you drill down, the logical gap between your causes and their supposed effects never goes away. You can never logically demonstrate that the effect follows from the cause the way a conclusion follows from a premise, except by way of extra premises that are circular or defeasible.
>>16840440You just used the post as an excuse to pivot to your own thing.
>>16839541I literally read the first actual sentence of your post and knew you were trolling before I finished that sentence lol go fuck yourself.
>>16842610But is he trolling or is he just a system of dominoes set in motion long ago by some greater troll only manifesting now? or suppose he is collateral trolling in relation to some other dominoe system which you might call unironic and authentic and perhaps necessary and unavoidable. How could he be trolling in either of these scenarios?
OP let me ask you a very personal question. If your dad fucked your mom, and you are the cause of that effect, why can't you admit to that reality rather than trying to say it was some "other" thing that caused your existence.

I wrote a paper wherein I propose an experiment to test whether advanced waves (backwards-in-time propagating waves) are physical objects or a mathematical abstraction. Advanced solutions to Maxwell’s equations do exist and are valid.

>I have no idea what it means>Yet it is the most profound thing that I have ever seen in my life.Holy fucking midwit. The rest of us understand just fine. It's a simple result of extending the exponential function to a complex domain. Did you hear about it from some douchebag on a podcast in between ketamine hits? Or on an Instagram short?

Don't Einstein postulates actually make the case for aether stronger instead of disproving it?To me the speed of light being the limit, and that you need more and more energy to speed up the closer to the speed of light you're already moving shows that electromagnetic field is stationary aether-like entity - speed of light being the limit because electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light and you can't move the field itself - only within it and limited by it.

how the FUCK did Einstein figure out that c is equal in all inertial frames sitting in an office with a pad and pencil? and better yet, what is the actual explanation for why this is? it makes no fucking logical sense whatsoever to my brainlet mind and goes against the entire framework of all physics up to that point. I understand that its true because mathematically it makes predictions we confirm to be correct, but WHY and HOW did this nigga realize it just goofing off? bonus question: what is the actual relationship between space and time explained in a way a retard can digest?
