What is energy? All matter is made of particles, so what is energy made of, if anything? Can energy ever be actually measured and observed through anything other than the effects it has on matter? Is energy less a thing in and of itself and more just an action upon matter or the potential for one?
>>16785787Energy is GOD or however the schizo hallucinates
>>16785787What type of energy do you mean?Potential or kinetic?mechanical,electrical,thermal,chemical,nuclear, radiantenergy?
>>16785792Mostly thinking of kinetic here, but was also thinking energy in general. Aren't most other forms of energy really just kinetic energy when you really break it down anyway, like heat being particles vibrating with kinetic energy?
>>16785787Energy, like every other concept construct of the human mind, is a placeholder that encompasses different kinds of properties which are agreed on by people. We use those to develop our ideas further. In other words, we use energy to describe a set of effects, product of the verbal knowledge of the workings of the universe.
>>16785787Energy is measured in Joules which is kg*m^2/s^2, so it is made of mass moving in space over time.>Is energy less a thing in and of itself and more just an action upon matter or the potential for one?Energy is derived by mass moving through space over time, first you have mass, then you have mass in a location (kg*m also called density), then when the mass moves location over time you get velocity (dx/dt or kg*m/s), then when mass changes the rate of movement over time, you get an acceleration force dx/dt2 or kg*m/s^2, then when that acceleration force is maintained over a distance, you get energy dx2/dt2 or kg*m^2/s^2.
Why is self pollination in plants considered good but incest in humans considered bad? Why do scientists give their thumbs up when a plant is full of recessive genes but they frown when they hear I had sex with my sister?
>>16784957It seems the thrust of the question went over your head.
>>16784920Why bother with sex at all just clone yourself?
>>16782175It can be good it can be bad, when choosing fruit varieties you can choose attributes such as degree of self incompatibilityself fertile shows no noticable drop in yield.semi self fertile will set fruit but the yield is reducedself infertile needs another plant to act as a pollen donorit matters a lot when when you have an entire field of one single variety all blossoming at the same time
>>16784943Evolution theory truly is some demonic shit.
>>16787982What I find kinda ia how if you look through world mythology and think of it in terms of mythic history you have all these rullers and gods literally marrying their sister but usually with some special ceremony involved that focuses the mind on positive vibes and moving circles in the right direction.Look at the japanese founding myth of izanagi and izanami. the sibling dance around a rock but produce a sickly cursed newt child, then they speak to the other gods who tell them they did the ceremony wrong so they dance around the rock in the other direction and their subsequent children are fine.I used to dismiss these things as just myths but the more I stumbled around the topic I noticed that there had to be something more to them. Royal and Sacred inbreeding just showed up too often and then I got onto the topic of spirals and spinning things something sort of clicked into place.
I'm mediocre in my college math exams but I have no fucking clue how to code at all, I can't even pass non-math computer science courses unless I'm allowed to use ChatGPT. Math just makes more sense to me, likely because I grew up doing it in my K-12 years but also having zero coding experience in that time too. How can I pass my non-math CS courses?
>>16786917Build mathematical programmes like a set of divisors-tool? You're lucky in the sense that computers kinda work entirely in a math based way
>>16786917Learn Coq. If you can't learn Coq you're not good at math. You're not good at anything. Quit university and flip a burger.
>>16786941Based coq user. Fuck Isabelle shits. HOL trannies can suck my ass.
>>16786926so retarded bot then?
>>16786917no real programmers use math except the programmers that build mathematics software like matlab or simulation software for engineering. Its such a niche thing
Okay so this is just weed dude science theory off the top of my head but like how does lightning "know" where the most efficient source of releasing its energy would be? If that is silly well the particle slit experiment is still pretty requiring of explanation. So, at the lowest level, if everything is pixelated, then everything simply moves from one spot to the very next spot, if time is pixelated then same. So if there is any retroactive shit well it doesn't have to solve for any of it because there was no moment of observation or interaction for any of that. And if this is a simulation then that's fine. And idk if there is like a gap between two points like, well there must always be a gap. So idk maybe there is a retroactive movement from one point to the next through a gap but if it's all pixels, then things can only move six ways so there isn't ever going to be a point where particles cross paths. So the gap is explained I guess if there is one. And idk pixels are always just pixels like a object doesn't move across your computer screen it's just different pixels lighting up. So particles themselves aren't even there and everything is just a "wave" of changing pixels
>>16785535>how does lightning "know" where the most efficient source of releasing its energy would be?It doesn't."Current follows the path of least resistance" is an oversimplification. Current follows all possible paths at once to varying degrees. Paths with less resistance naturally get proportionately more of it. This is kinda like asking how water "knows" to flow out your tap and not through the walls of your plumbing.The rest of your post isn't coherent.
>>16785535Same way a river "knows" its course. Direction of least resistance.Pixels are irrelevant, (1) the whole "everything is quantised" idea might be wrong, (2) it's so small it doesn't matter for macro phenomena anyway
>>16785535The universe is not pixelated, anon. You should never mistake quantization for pixelation. They are two quite different principles.Combinations of quantized position values can result in essentially any physical location.
>>16786302goddamn I hate him so much it's just bs like one time I was at the bar with my whore ex and idk that fucking bitch I swear I just leaned in closer to tell her something and she leaned back, I guess thinking I was going to kiss her? yeah right uggly bitch
What a genuinely ridiculous concept. It always amazed me how many "physicists" come up with and believe this asinine theories. No, the Universe was not created solely so that one day it will be completely frozen in space with no activity whatsoever. This should be understood intuitively, within a few years this "theory" and all of its believers will be proven retarded. God would never create a Universe that would end this way.
>>16787753Yes. And I'll be proven right in time. No conclusion I've come to from tripping on DMT has ever been proven wrong, and has in fact continually been proven right over time. Get over it!
>>16787798>DMTThose are demons you're talking to.
>>16787801False. They are the same entities that Moses met when he inhaled the fumes of the burning bush (aka the DMT in the bark that was in the smoke)
>>16787723and where did the hot thing come from, smart guy?

What is matter? Anything with mass, or anything that… matters? Anything that’s there? Real?
>>16783478Metrological nihilism, or at best some form of restrictionism, the correct ontology of reality.
look at the absolute state of /sci/ right now, the front page, what do you see? exactly, a dead board, enjoy!
>>16783484Billions and billions of stars.Billions and billions of specks!.. in the Milkiway
>>16783605>phenomenaWhich means a real observable event, so you just related physics to reality by way of real observable events, nothing murky about it.
>>16783453you noticed the discrepancy?
Hello 4chan i'm a poster since 2012 and I've recently attempted a solution on the Riemann Hypothesis and I ask if mathematicians here would briefly tell me how compelling my solution is. Don't worry, I'm not about to go for the clay millennium prize, as I am certainly an imposter who doesn't really know math all that well.https://ultimussaeculi.substack.com/p/a-proof-of-the-riemann-hypothesisif however my solution turns out to be the first definitive proof I would like it attributed to a 4chan user and if 4chan users want to do the lean validation on it among other things I am open to collaboration.We present an argument that all nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the line Re s = 1/2. The method builds a closed quadratic form in a theta‑weighted L2 space, identifies a controlled family of antisymmetric Mellin test functions by truncation, derives a global S‑identity connecting the form to the completed zeta function, and isolates a compensated boundary functional that carries the noncancellation hinge. Independent vertical‑strip bounds support the compensated boundary identity.

Earlier this month, a huge team of stem cell researchers dropped a very significant paper identifying Glutathione S Transferase Alpha 4 induction as the primary mechanism by which OSK reprogramming rejuvenates cells... >Reprogramming Factors Activate a Non-Canonical Oxidative Resilience Pathway That Can Rejuvenate RPEs and Restore Vision>https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.30.673239v1.abstract>GSTA4 overexpression alone enhances mitochondrial resilience, rejuvenates the aged RPE transcriptome, and reverses visual decline. GSTA4 is consistently upregulated across diverse lifespan-extending interventions suggesting a broader pro-longevity role. These findings uncover a previously unrecognized protective axis driven by Yamanaka factors that circumvents reprogramming, providing therapeutic insights for age-related diseases.Soooo... is DWS's protocol fully deprecated at this point? Just cycle various GSTA4 inducers? Are there some other chemoresistance enzymes out there too that you should just cyclically jack the fuck up, unless you're a cancer patient on chemo?>CAPTCHA:40W0WW
Good post as always but the two usual questions- How does one induce this with normal drugs/supplements?- Cancer?
>>16786737>- How does one induce this with normal drugs/supplements?for drug see >>16786679, in terms of supplements the OP paper claims GlyNAC and sulphoraphane do it among popular ones, but there are tons of phytochemicals that do upstream Nrf2 induction to generally upregulate detoxification: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22nrf2%22+%22phytochemical%22>- Cancer?the tl;dr is it looks like high levels of GST family detoxification enzymes generally prevent you from getting cancers, but they are also expressed highly in cancers that are very resistant to chemotherapy with high stemness. many of the dietary phytochemicals that are GST family inducers also have chemotherapeutic activity, but some are also carcinogens, so the whole topic is a little muddled and compound-specific. GST induction is an effect of cellular reprogramming, and the latest research on partial reprogramming with small molecules has found the teratoma problem from viral vectors to be basically solved as far as anyone can tell.
>>16786737You have to inject the rat testes with spermatocial stem cells and then put them in a bowl of milk and eat them with a spoon, per the diagram. I don't think the illustration is supposed to be to scale but there's no reason not to expect some growth.
>>16786760>the latest research on partial reprogramming with small molecules has found the teratoma problem from viral vectors to be basically solved as far as anyone can tell."Basically solved" isn't good enough when it comes to cancer, anon
>>16787687There haven't been any longer-term trials than a few years on mice so far, but the prior mice were dead within a few days and the newer mice are living twice as long as normal by now.
Thoughts on the science of psychiatry?Is it a good idea to change your brain chemistry with drugs, when we don't fully understand the effects of those drugs?Are psychiatric drugs just pushed by Big Pharma in order to make big profits?
Do you have to understand exactly how a drug works if it helps people? I mean Antidepressents have been out for atleast 50 years, so plenty of time to study long term effect. To note though, that Antidep. only really work on severe cases and are currently overperscribed (atleast US)
>>16785387alright

Modern day theory of the humors. Bloodletting worked sometimes too! But understanding the relevant mechanisms to the level required for a principled psychopharmacology is beyond modern society. Just fix your life (regular aerobic and anaerobic exercise, balanced diet that keeps you below 18% bodyfat, regular socialization and participation in a community to which you contribute, active romantic life, active intellectual life, and you must be honest with yourself - harder than it may seem) and seek therapy before resorting to the meds but wcyd they do appear to work...sometimes. When traditional psychedelics join the ranks of prescription medication we will see a new generation of psychopharmacological efficacy but it will not cure all either. We live in a society lmao

Why are birds so puny?
>>16779564Expanding earth theory explains it. Earn used to have less gravity when it was smaller so flying creatures could have more mass.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kL7qDeI05UAll the explanations about hollow bones or fish diets are silly nonsense.
>>16784556Good way to ruin your feathers
>>16784838To follow: pterosaurs were capable of quadrupedal locomotion because they had developed very powerful forelimbs which they used extensively to launch themselves into flight. Birds on the other hand rely much more on their legs to launch, while their wings are comparatively weak and not good for bearing weight. It's a matter of difference in the evolutionary paths pterosaurs vs theropods took while developing flight. Pterosaurs just happened to evolve in such a way that made quadrupedal locomotion viable regarding forelimb strength and center of mass etc while birds ended up hindlimb-focused while grounded.
>>16779941Sure, the firmament and all is true though

If Native Americans came from East Asia, then why do the they score the lowest (lower than Blacks) on intelligence tests and East Asians score near the top?
I really think that this world map should be the default. Try searching for this world map online and you’ll find that it’s actually quite difficult to find it.
>>16787339It gives you a totally different perspective.
>>16786488They came from Northeast Asia, even your map shows they aren't close to East Asians at all, their closest relatives in Eurasia are notoriously dumb and prone to alcoholism.
>>16787385Only high civilization to evolve completely independently without input from any other, yet mogged most yuropean eras in stone masonry skillz

In undergrad I sucked up to professors I liked and just went to all the office hours working my ass off and got some great connections that way but now as a grad student I’m having trouble networking. Conferences are nice and I’m genuinely proud of the work I’ve done so far but none of it is groundbreaking or that noteworthy. I don’t wanna be an academic post degree, im trying to do research in industry, but it feels like all the strong researchers with similar backgrounds to me went into industry as a fallback not a first choice. How do I connect with people who WANT to apply advanced mathematical methods?!I’m one step away from just cold calling people with interesting papers and offering to buy them a beer cause I’m at a loss otherwise
>>16787468>cold calling>interesting papersI mean, if that's how you see it.
>>16787468there arent many jobs anymore. all the jobs are being moved to low cost countries like india and mexico. so stay in academia if you can, because there might not be an industry waiting for you outside of it.
