Yes, information was extracted from the system by boucing a photon off something and onto a detector. Bitch-ass particle got his position and/or velocity known for blinking at the wrong photon.
Photon sees all, knows all. Until it is not.
Does the emitted photons view of the world reach back to see the moment it was absorbed? Can a photon see its own past lives or is every photon uniquely born at each emission? If it remembers, what does it know of its time with the electron as it suddenly slowed down and had mass and saw time flow by? Did it scream, and fight, and win its own release back into timeless beauty?

What are the plants with the highest caloric efficiency?
I define "caloric efficiency" as: (c*n)/(s*t), where:
"c" is the average amount of calories 1 single edible part (ex.: a fruit, a leaf, a tuber...) can provide
"n" is the average number of edible parts normally present on 1 single fully grown specimen (ex.: the number of apples on an apple tree; the number of leafs on a lettuce head, etc....)
"s" is the minimum space required for 1 single specimen to grow fully
"t" is the average time required for an edible part to fully regrow after being harvested

Calorimeter is just a measuring device, you may as well say that since you can measure both bread and rocks with a scale they are both edible. You can chuck oil or gas into it or wood into it and it will produce a result because that's what it's built to do, but you will still die if your diet consists of 2500 calories of oil or gas or wood a day.
4.9 kcal per gram is just about what you would expect, plants in general and wood in specific is mostly made out of water and sugar, sugar is 4 kcal per gram. A pine needles have low moisture content (and the study measured them dried out pretty sure) and high amount of oils which pushes them bit above sugar since oils are about 9 kcal per gram. That doesn't mean you can eat them. You start eating pine needles and you start shitting pine needles.

Why do people act like black holes are something special or basically magic when it's just the star being heavily compressed?

>Black holes have mass because they are formed from the collapse of massive objects, such as stars, and they inherit the mass of the original object. Here's a breakdown of how this happens:
> Formation of a Black Hole: A black hole typically forms when a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel and undergoes a supernova explosion. If the remaining core after the explosion is heavy enough (typically around 3 times the mass of the Sun or more), it can collapse under its own gravity into a very small, dense point, called a singularity, which is surrounded by the event horizon.
> Mass Conservation: The mass of the black hole is essentially the mass of the star (or any other object) that collapsed to form it. The gravitational pull of the black hole is determined by this mass. Even though a black hole’s interior is hidden from view by the event horizon, it still contains the mass of the original object.
> Gravitational Influence: The mass of the black hole is what gives it its gravitational pull. The more massive the black hole, the stronger its gravitational field. The event horizon's size (called the Schwarzschild radius) is directly related to the mass of the black hole.
>In essence, black holes have mass because they are the end state of matter that has collapsed under extreme gravitational forces, and this mass remains part of the black hole even though the structure of the object is very different from the star it once was.

i just don't get how all those elements were ejected from the black holes they came from and made their way into the crust. how did uranium and platinum escape the event horizon of the black hole foundries they came from?
Also, there are huge veins of gold, have we ever observed any asteroids or comets crashing into the planet that contains gold in large quantities
>>
>>16509025
Uranium and platinum were certainly not formed inside black holes. They were most likely formed by neutron star collisions.

>>16508282
They're used as a last resort kind of thing, but the main problem is that they are far more specific and can't be made to act as broadly as antibiotics can. You can't always diagnose the exact bacterium with this degree of precision.

>>16508111
>the only way to prevent antibiotic resistance is for literally EVERY SINGLE HUMAN ON EARTH to use them correctly
>how realistic was it to prevent antibiotic resistance?
There is no way to prevent bacteria evolving to the selection pressure imposed by using any degree of antibiotics (AB).
All AB will be resisted at some point.
Prescribing 4-5 different AB at once to slow down that evolution, but it is inevitable.

Don’t try to prevent antibiotic resistance, instead ask why we wish to prevent it: We want to cure bacterial infections.
Simplest way to do that is discover new AB at the rate old ones become resisted. This raises a question "won't we reach a point where bacteria are resistant to literally all AB possible?".

We will never have such a point; bacteria carrying genes to resist AB have to pay a cost. More energy is expended in maintaining the gene, more time is spent replicating, etc.

We can look at nature for proof how this plays out. Bacteria have been exposed to various compounds toxic to them for billions of years. Yet there is not one bacterial species which has an exhaustive catalogue of genes to resist these naturally occurring antibiotic compounds; those genes have a cost to keep.

We can exploit this: Suppose we invented 1000 different AB. As normal, we use 5 AB at once to clear an infection.
Humans anticipate bacteria resisting the original 5, so swap out those 5 for a different set from our remaining 995.
This process repeats. In order for pathogenic bacteria to become a menace, it would need to store 1000 resistance genes. If these bacteria lived in a host soaked with all thousand AB all the time, those genes would be kept. As it stands, the bacteria are in competition with other species in environments without all those AB; all those genes would disadvantage it, and would be dropped.

This tactic of overwhelming the genome of bacteria with resistance genes is the path to success. We don’t go against evolution, we harness it.

What kind of cancer?
Are you one of these idiots that thinks cancer is one thing?
>>
>>16500511
A)
Not a single diseased type of cell, they're multiple different kinds of mutants.
B)
Cancer cells are notoriously "smart" due to their high rate of mutation.
For example, you would think the obvious answer to any aggressive cancer would be to go for something which attacks the most metabolically active cells, that should would work, maybe try and starve them for example, so that they (constantly growing and dividing) would starve before your healthy cells. And in some cases that does work, but in other cases, they specifically mutate the ability to go dormant.
>>
I heard cancer is only a psychological problem.
You just need to adress your inner troubles and you'll be fine.

Are you saying that your favorite god is simply a hypothesis? There is plenty of evidence for natural selection in biology, so it's not far fetched to hypothesize that natural selection played a role in the origin of life. There is zero evidence of any god or supernatural spirit, so it's pretty far fetched to hypothesize that a god or supernatural spirit played a role in any natural process, much less the origin of life.
