How is that?
How is that?
Quantum mechanics (and spin) isn’t really mysterious or inaccessible, it’s just not intuitive.
Happy to hear you’re enjoying the work of talented scientists!
As a non-layman, there isn’t any observations or theories that I know or that would support your cool idea, but as you say, we can always let the mind wander.
That’s a pretty outlandish idea, is there any reason why that would be the case?
I don’t think dark matter as a placeholder is accurate - it’s not some fully unexplained phenomenon, it’s matter with mass that doesn’t seem to interact with light.
From its own cover,
It is written by experimental physicists and aimed to provide the interested amateur with a bridge from undergraduate physics to quantum field theory. The imagined reader is a gifted amateur possessing a curious and adaptable mind looking to be told an entertaining and intellectually stimulating story, but who will not feel patronized if a few mathematical niceties are spelled out in detail.
This might sound pretty casual, but it gets into all the math of it, with an aim at practical use.
The book “Quantum field theory for the gifted amateur” is really good. It’s helped me understand quantum fields a lot better, and I work with quantum mechanics every day.
I don’t think we are - the previous comment is talking about the total genocide of all domesticated animals, which seems beyond sheep under solar panels.
Really nice work! Should’ve worn his helmet 💀
Sounds nice. Possibly while not killing them or milking them, while also trying to breed them back to a more naturally viable state?
Surely there exists a space between us breeding, mass murdering and torturing domestic animals with cruel factory farming on the one hand, and wiping them off the face of the earth on the other.
Wouldn’t you say that both extremes constitute disastrous consequences for huge parts of the entire world’s biosphere?
Mouse brain maybe?
What a horrifying disaster.
Neat! Didn’t know that.
How am I supposed to estimate the pH value of a given wetland area without specialised equipment?
Possibly. I can’t come up with any major results that wasn’t either logic, engineering or tradition. But it’s an interesting question. What might count as science before then?
They also said it about potatoes, fresh water, indoor plants, cotton clothes, thinking about the moon and wooden stools.
Not sure I understand, who is being called names?
And sure, laws like these are always a compromise, with no objectively true answer.
The point of having an age of consent (in this case 16 in the UK) is not popularity, and not just parental awareness or protection from people in positions of power.
It’s a decision by society that kids below this age are incapable of grasping the full consequences of their consent.
Of course the limit is going to be somewhat arbitrary, and you can definitely argue that age of consent laws are bad without being a creep, but you’d have to argue that a 15 year old understands the ramifications of consent.
Ugh, the video about “leftist code” feels straight out of The Boys.
