>But we are convinced that the irrational side of the theory – the idealistic notion of an origin to the universe; of a moment of creation of matter, space and time; and all the absurd mathematical patch-ups that keep the theory going – all that will be forced to give way under the weight of observational evidence, and scientists will once more recognise that the universe is infinite and eternal, and that matter can neither be created nor destroyed.

I actually looked into this last year, and found a Chinese meta-study (https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/ehp.1104912) which showed an average IQ decrease of 0.45 points in children with fluoride water concentrations ranging from 1 to 11mg/L compared to a group with <1mg/L exposure. This was a meta-study across decades, and there were also other contaminants present, like arsenic. Overall, there was a statistically significant decrease, but it's practically negligible, as most IQ tests have an error margin of 5 to 10 points. The maximum fluoride concentration set by the US EPA is 4mg/L. If your kid becomes retarded, it's probably not fluoride. Although 50mg/L concentrations does cause hippocampal degradation in rats (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10329641/)

>OK, I'm finally willing to admit that fluoride makes you retarded, but not very retarded so its still OK
Why can't you just own up to the fact that you have substantially reduced IQ as a result of having consumed fluoridated water for your entire life? Do you have Stockholm syndrome for your abusers?

4 Pole induction motors were the biggest mystery ever for me, i could never understand how the rotating magnetic field made a whole turn, basically reaching the starting point, while the rotor spun only half a turn.
Every book of electrical engineering skipped that over, saying it was like a 2 pole motor and details were left as an exercise for the reader.
Then i figured out how they worked, just saw a drawing of them, it was such a simple concept.

Is washing your hands after going to the bathroom a scam? I never do it and I don't find myself getting sick more than anyone else. I get the principle in theory, obviously, but it doesn't seem to actually make a difference.

Because in high population densities. Infection and bacteria can spread faster. Nature does not like high density populations so we wash are hands to stop the spread of disease and Infection.

Girls will freak out because health and sanitation are embedded into our culture. People are programed to form these habits again to stop the spread of what I mentioned above.

Pathogens are real. It's not a scam

>>16451632
Washing your hands after you go to the bathroom isn't that much different from washing your hands at any other point. This is because your urine is sterile and both your dick and ass are just about as clean as any other part of your skin (if anything they are cleaner than your hands simply due to being protected by clothes). If you don't blatantly get shit on your hands (eating your own poop can make you sick) then washing to "avoid getting sick" doesn't make much sense.
However what it does do is three fold, firstly your hands are going to be dirty from living your life and touching things, so you need to wash them sometimes to reduce the risk of getting sick. That could be when you come home or before you eat or cook for instance but it's fairly easy to combine it with going to the bathroom. The second point is that your crotch will smell and there's risk of getting poo on your hands which you may or may not be able to detect which isn't good so you may as well wash up even if you don't do it for disease reasons. Lastly while nothing that is on your peepee is going to get you sick it can get others sick so it's best to wash up to prevent others from getting what is endemic on your skin.

>>16451777
this. Your hands and face are exposed to bacteria, everything else has been under clothes since you showered this morning (you didn't??). So if anything, you should wash your hands before going to the bathroom.

After peeing is absolutely pointless. After taking a shit is just basic common sense because your hand came in close proximity to literal shit.

I have lyme disease and I'm concerned of passing it to someone else via kissing/sexual intercourse. Officially, the CDC says it cannot spread between humans. However, many people online claim that it CAN.

I'm not sure how to approach this. Whether to inform others before sex. What to do to prevent from spreading it to whoever I'm with.

Can I ask your opinion on this /sci/ and how to prevent from spreading it?

Where the rubber meets the road with "long" diseases is it isn't that you have the disease anymore, you're cured, you've completely recovered, but the disease can leave behind scarring or damaged tissue that's healing weird, and that's where the pain or discomfort is coming from. This is something most doctors can't really qualify because for all intents and purposes; your body is perfectly fine, most of the time this appear as anything visible, but that unfortunately doesn't mean the pain or discomfort you're feeling isn't real.

>>16448460
>>16452995

I'm going to say that "bug to people" diseases aren't communicable.
I'm entirely basing this on the ecology of other blood-sucking insect spread diseases, but typically the disease needs to complete an important step inside the gut of an insect before it's contagious. The idea would be: the tick bites you, you get lyme disease, your body fills with 'untriggered lymes', another (or several) ticks bite you and pick up that lyme, the lyme infects and completes its' lifecycle in their body, and the lyme is now armed and ready to repeat the process.
>>
>>16453111
That's what I've heard before, that the problems were from damaged tissue rather than an infection. Still I hear that lyme stays in you for a long time after, even if it's not affecting you. And anecdotally I've talked to several people IRL who have to go back on ABX from time to time as their symptoms get worse periodically.

>The situation facing chemists and other researchers in Argentina is continuing to worsen under the country’s hard right President Javier Milei, who assumed the country’s helm in December. The sharp cuts to higher education, science budgets and professors’ salaries persist, prompting an estimated 1000 academics to take to the streets on 2 October to protest.

>After less than six months in office, Milei had already demoted the country’s science ministry and frozen funding for the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (Conicet), which funds the work of about 12,000 scientists at 300 research institutions. He has also frozen budgets at the country’s public universities that conduct most of the research carried out in the country, at their 2023 levels. And now, less than a year after becoming president, he has drastically reduced funding at public universities, crippling the salaries of professors and staff there.

>‘Salaries have lost about 50% of buying capacity while accumulated inflation is about 144% in one year,’ Alberto Kornblihtt, a molecular biologist and emeritus professor at the University of Buenos Aires, tells Chemistry World. The country’s annual inflation rate has been estimated at nearly 300%.

>In addition, although Argentina’s Congress approved legislation to regulate the budgets of national universities with adjustments that account for inflation for current expenses, as well as salaries, Milei vetoed the measure on the evening of the 2 October demonstrations. On 9 October, Congress upheld Milei’s veto.

File: IAR 2 discs.png (16 KB, 548x546)

(no this isn't hw, I'm just studying physics on my own)
The goal is basically to find the instantaneous axis of rotation of the small discs that's on the big disc and the angular velocity around this axis.

Now I suspect it's either on the edge of the small disc that's closest to the central axis or even more trivially, it' just it's own fucking axis that moves around the central axis with w1.

But what's the exact theory behind finding it and calculating angular velocity around IAR?

I literally went through all the textbooks I could find AND ALL OF THEM LITERALLY ONLY SHOW THAT ROLLING CYLINDER PROBLEM BUT SAY NOTHING GENERAL ABOUT THE IAR FFS.

The only bit I know is that it's supposed to be in the point where the object is not moving atm.

Any sources or smth? Thanks.

>>16451614
Oh, okay, so you're just looking for the point on the little circle where its instantaneous velocity is zero then?

Treat it as a polar coordinate problem with some distance from Disk 2's center, [math]r[/math] and some phase relative to the rotation of Disk 1, [math]\phi[/math].
[math]x = R \cos \left(\omega_1 t \right) + r \cos \left(\omega_2 t + \phi \right)[/math]
[math]y = R \sin \left(\omega_1 t \right) + r \sin \left(\omega_2 t + \phi \right)[/math]
[math]\dot{x} = -\omega_1 R \sin \left(\omega_1 t \right) - \omega_2 r \sin \left(\omega_2 t + \phi \right)[/math]
[math]\dot{y} = \omega_1 R \cos \left(\omega_1 t \right) + \omega_2 r \cos \left(\omega_2 t + \phi \right)[/math]

Use [math]\dot{x} = 0[/math] and [math]\dot{y} = 0[/math] to solve for [math]\phi[/math] and [math]r[/math]
[math]\omega_2 r \sin \left(\omega_2 t + \phi \right) = -\omega_1 R \sin \left(\omega_1 t \right)[/math]
[math]\omega_2 r \cos \left(\omega_2 t + \phi \right) = -\omega_1 R \cos \left(\omega_1 t \right)[/math]
[math]\tan \left(\omega_2 t + \phi \right) = \tan \left(\omega_1 t\right)[/math]
[math]\phi = \left(\omega_1 - \omega_2 \right) t[/math]

Substituting into the first equation for [math]\phi[/math]
[math]\omega_2 r \sin \left(\omega_2 t + \omega_1 t - \omega_2 t \right) = -\omega_1 R \sin \left(\omega_1 t \right)[/math]
[math]\omega_2 r \sin \left(\omega_1 t \right) = -\omega_1 R \sin \left(\omega_1 t \right)[/math]
[math]\left|r\right| = \frac{\omega_1}{\omega_2} R[/math]

In August 2021, Swiss researchers at the University of Applied Sciences Graubünden set a world record by calculating pi to 62.8 trillion digits. They achieved this using a high-performance supercomputer in just 108 days—surpassing the previous record of 50 trillion digits from 2020. This effort, managed at the university’s Competence Center for Data Analysis, Visualization, and Simulation (DAViS), pushed computational boundaries by using vast storage and memory resources: they needed over 300 terabytes for processing and backup.

>Notable natural events occured around August 2021, right when Pi was calculated to over 62 trillion digits. A striking coincidence is the eruption of the Fukutoku-Okanoba volcano near Japan on August 13, 2021. This eruption generated a massive ash plume that reached up to 16 km into the atmosphere, creating a visible floating pumice raft and even producing a new island. This eruption also caused atmospheric disturbances detected as far away as 1,000 km, impacting the ionosphere and potentially atmospheric resonance frequencies. Around this period, other volcanic activities, such as those at Aira’s Sakurajima volcano, were noted, along with unusual tectonic and atmospheric oscillations due to volcanic gases.

Oh, very interesting. I believe vector spaces over finite fields aren't metric spaces, no? I'm not even sure one can come up with a well-defined notion of an inner product on such spaces. Such definitions fail even for the rationals, because the space isn't complete in the topological sense. So it seems that this problem is ill-posed, because there can be no notions of orthogonality and normality in such vector spaces.
