i’m like a third through this book, and your responses (up to this post, haven’t read the rest yet) are more interesting/detailed than anything i’ve read so far. thanks

Need to excise the big brain shit to a physics thread. I don’t come into the LC thread to make my brain hurt.

But the act of excising the quantum content will cause it to exist in both threads at the same time.

Quantum stuff made a lot more sense (to the extent it makes sense at all) after I learned all about Fourier transforms and syntheses. Unfortunately I don’t know if there’s an easy layman’s guide to those concepts.

Same for CA Central Valley for the most part.
As much as there have been elegant experiments to support many of the weirdest predictions of quantum mechanics, I think there is ample room for skepticism about the dark matter and dark energy. Were they not to exist, it would not be the first or even second time physicists posited the existence of something that they assumed had to be there based on trying to explain unexpected observations with the best science they knew, but instead it turned out they didn’t know enough.
That said, as much as I consider the decades that have gone by without actual detection of anything that could be dark matter or dark energy as evidence against their existence, it’s also weird that no decent alternative explanation has come forward, either. There doesn’t seem to be a ton of money in dark energy, everyone’s solid since I don’t think you can nuke anyone with it, so it may be a while longer before it’s resolved.

the fact we’re all in here trying to explain quarks to people like me who have no hope of really understanding it while also on the verge of ecological and thermonuclear disaster is why this species is fucked, but i guess capitalism and orange man bad too
Dark matter seems a lot more solid than dark energy.
Dark energy could literally just be bad assumptions about type 1A supernovas.
Dark matter is observed as stars which should be reaching escape velocity in every galaxy, and galaxies that should be achieving escape velocity in every galaxy cluster - all based on centripetal force vs. gravity - nothing exotic. Maybe it’s not actually matter. But it’s something that clumps and exerts gravitational force.
Note: all this come from How the Universe Works

I’m told we have an expert in the central valley on this forum
Last week, Singapore became the first country to approve the commercial sale of a protein grown “out of thin air”, according to its marketing tagline. Solein, a yellow powder resembling grated parmesan, is the product of microbes that are fed gases – carbon dioxide, hydrogen and oxygen – and nutrients. According to its developer, the Finnish company Solar Foods, it will be used in products such as plant-based meats, breads and spreads
Man they’re scaping real close to Soylent there.
As difficult as it may be, physics is much simpler than anything to do with people.

Ugh. That sounds miserable. Glad you made it home safely and didn’t end up like this person.

Do any four-wheelers carry chains up in the Great White North?
In the mountains, yes, but not in the flatlands where Clovis is from.
