blueprint··on JWST spots giant black holes all over the early universe
you are wrong, and you don't "know". the waves interfere with themselves unless they are measured. then the plate measures interfered waves in the form of singular photons, not waves. look it up.

silly downvoters.

Your comment is a bit strange. Light doesn't travel as photons. Photons exclusively exist at the site and instant of detection of the wave of probability of detection that light really travels as.

When light is redshifted, it loses energy, therefore the wavelength becomes longer.

link? I'm very familiar with Zeros and I've never heard this..

> The worst case scenario is that there is actually nothing interesting with LK-99, and everything we've seen that suggests otherwise is experimenter bias heaped on top of experimental error.

well while we're one-upping each other I'm pretty sure the worst case scenario is some lk99 synthesizer actually creates a black hole which gobbles up the planet.

none of the things you listed have anything to do with fundamental or theoretical physics. It also seems that you don't know about some of the recent advances. we don't need to deny the standard model. Nature has already shown us proof that it's not sufficient. but the standard model is not actually fundamental physics. It's basically just a mash up of a bunch of aspects of particle systems. There's, again, a ton of work on alternatives. and I would have to disagree, it would seem that we do know how to scale, quantum computers, but we're still doing the material science for it. Physics is probably far more advanced than almost anyone really realizes... and that is the bigger issue. We are still working out what advances to pay attention to. Yet what we do know about , if the engineering work were done, is enough to get us "free" energy, for example.

how exactly has physics been at an impasse? this trope is so common now. did you hear it from Weinstein? we've had a metric ton of mindblowing theory emerge in the past 30 years. do you even study physics?

I'm talking about cartridges, which often throw chunks of superhot oil onto the lungs. let's wait for the research in 20 years that says it's also terrible.
blueprint··on Marijuana addiction: those struggling often face skepticism
mark my words.. vapor cartridges are probably way more dangerous to lungs than smoke
blueprint··on Quantum physicists explained earth’s oscillating weather patterns
Quantum effects certainly do not disappear at macro scale. Everything at every scale aside from gravity is directly explained by quantum effects. The reason you don't see many weird things except in certain circumstances is related to 1. decoherence and 2. the wavelength that matter has.

But everything is quantum even if you don't see weirdness. Certainty of probability and other "non-quantum" effects still fall within QM.

For examples of macro scale quantum effects, see e.g. the Casimir effect and the HBT experiment aka photon bunching. There are many of them and scale doesn't really enter into it whatsoever. The key factor that underlies your question mainly is entanglement.

no, they are referring to how difficult it is to awaken or change individuals.

I completely sympathize with you. Seriously. But I'm not sure the cause is simply narcissism - to my eyes the real root cause is abject ignorance. If they were to realize, like you, they would be unable to behave the way they do
blueprint··on GPT-4 details leaked?
says who? cooks at a fine restaurant better know everything about their part. but they chose to try to work under a greater chef because their eventual upward mobility as a practitioner is higher. literally chef means leader or the boss. in the rest of the world that usually means less specifically qualified. not likely here that a chef isnt a good cook but a good cook certainly has the ability to set a menu if they wanted. you're not making a strong argument imo.
blueprint··on GPT-4 details leaked?
semantics, I say. cooks are "chiefs" of certain things otherwise they'd have no value on a team. unless you're saying that chefs setting the menu means theyre more of a scientist. at worst you're saying e.g. scientists are like chefs in that their used their creativity to make up the standard model. at best you're saying chefs are theorists and cooks are experimental scientists which is , again, to my own point.
blueprint··on GPT-4 details leaked?
I hate to break it to you but that is part of science. Perhaps the major part of it too. Hypothesis: I can build a cabinet with these materials which will bear some load range. Experiment: I built it and it obviously works.

Now change cabinet to particle accelerator that a giant team of other theorists and engineers designed. Am I not doing science by participating in building it? So experimental scientists arent scientists?

radioactivity causes mutations in germ cell dna which causes more obviously mutated offspring, but just the same, enough radioactivity would change enough of your cells' dna to see something. it's just that it would probably be cancer and burns.

without anyone changing their behavior, a massive collapse is guaranteed

with only a portion of people changing, eventually the world all switches over

even besides all that living healthy is to avoid disease, pain, low function, feeling like crap etc

you're missing the analogy. the surface area of the sail is the entire volume of eg piezoelectrically responsive rocks - so it's a gigantic sail
blueprint··on I still think it's unlikely we're observing alien aircraft
> If alien aircraft were on Earth, they would need to be carefully calibrated to give us grainy distant glimpses (in every possible way) but never more. If alien aircraft are here, they’re screwing with us.

Or maybe they're way faster than we are and possibly much smarter and therefore can, as liberally documented, evade us with ease.

soon, Salt Lake City. look at the building damage diagrams, the stats on how long water will be out, and just how many hospitals will be impeded. one problem in SLC is they don't have frequent quakes so nothing had to be built to code.
