Born in 1909! The NAACP was founded, the first baseball statistician emerged, Taft was President. Just wow 🤯

Agreed and I wonder if this isn’t a job that an AI might be able to help with: reading all the papers and at the very least, looking for key research subjects to compile for readers?

I just miss the intellectual depth of anime like the Patlabor, Macross Plus, Ghost in the Shell, Akira movies. The last show I loved from beginning to end was Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Macross Frontier was alright. I was also one of the odd(?) ones who enjoyed Naruto when it over explained ninjitsu. The art, I understand overhead costs, So I can be more forgiving - so long as art quality isn’t trash. There was a time when anime was ahead of its time. You just don’t see that much anymore 😭

…there was a reason they had us practicing Asteroids on the Atari!

I personally enjoy philosophy of physics. I also learned I’m a constructive empiricist when it comes to quantum physics.

Wait, there are people who don’t? J/k but I like to pretend to kick the air as if I’m kicking a door open/down. I get looks, and I’m okay with that.

This is the only war in my life that I fully support. Ukraine needs full support and the consequences of losing are extremely costly to all who hate fascism.

Thank you for sharing this video, turning on my light-saber and allowing me the high-ground.

Tried looking up some news on this - anyone have a reliable link?

Just. Vote.

 

According to quantum field theory, the universe can be thought of not as isolated particles but continuous fluctuating fields: matter fields, whose quanta are fermions (i.e., leptons and quarks), and force fields, whose quanta are bosons (e.g., photons and gluons). All these fields have zero-point energy.>

Zero-point Energy

Is the quantum mechanical math just easier to calculate each having its own separate field, rather than an identical field of origin, but each unique excitation giving each their own identity/unique properties?

Sometimes QM systems seem true to reality and at other times just the best description we have at the moment - I find it more plausible for there to be a shared field of origin that diverges from unique excitations/properties. It's also very likely I'm studying QM fields incorrectly.

Thanks for any insight.

 

Feels like a shower thought, but I seriously want to know if there are any implications, because it seems like identical twins are able to sense, understand, and almost be extensions of each other - finish each other's sentences/thoughts. Some even claim to be able to sense their twin when they're separate. Hard to believe, but at all possible?

 

There's a good many gravity theories, some that don't even try to explain the why, only the how and other's that involve some particle like the graviton. But anyone know if there's any based on the energetic vibrations of our known particles with mass (those within protons and neutrons)? In other words, gravity's space warp is a result of all the heavy work done by powerful particles; the more mass at work (density), the more space warps.

I found this one, and I recall someone trying to do a current version of it but can't seem to locate it (perhaps being developed outside of English language).

Thanks for any insight.

 

(To be clear, I'm more interested in the reach and scaling of gravity.)

If we were to suddenly double earth's mass, but not it's size, would it's field double in size (I assume strength as well), to the extent that if I were to measure this increased gravity at the same place I measured earth's normal gravity, it would simply be double? If so, the least measurable point of both gravitates should also be the same?

Just wondering if there's diminishing returns or if mass and density affects a gravity field the same regardless of whether it's an asteroid or a billion Solar Masses.

Feel free to share any views I'm not taking into account in regards to gravity fields.

Thanks

 

I've been doing a bit of searching for theories on the origin of baryon matter (including antimatter of course) and some seem to hint at quantum particles spawning from the fabric of space (but doesn't seem to theorize on how this happened) but not many focus on hypothesizing how all forms of baryon matter ether: was the default starting point (that is empty space wasn't the default origin, energy was) or that the fabric of space is the origin of baryon matter (something like: space has the blue print and energy supplies the material).

Thanks for any insight/links that focus on this question

 

I've read that at the center of large celestial bodies there's zero gravity (or close to). While confirmation would be nice, if true, I'm wondering how large that area can actually be and moreover, does it scale up with more mass and/or even size - that is, does the sun have a larger center area of low (zero?) gravity than the earth and so on with evermore mass. Or is that area the same regardless of mass' size?

Thank you

 

Been Studying alternatives to Dark Matter and the rabbit hole has led me to MOG/STVG by John Moffat. The video I'm sharing is a long and great interview by Curt Jaimungal with Moffat. There are plenty of MOND-like alternatives to Dark Matter and all may be proven wrong should science make further progress discovering Dark Matter. But I feel a great motivator is competition and I think MOG/STVG puts up some interesting competition.
