Why does nobody talk about covering the moon with solar panels?
It would essentially be a micro dyson sphere except we could build it with tech we have TODAY.
It would even give us previous experience for when we decide to build an actual dyson sphere.

How does buoyancy actually work, on a molecular billiards-ball level? The buoyant object being less dense is the common sense explanation but it leads to an absurd conclusion that a light and rigid enough container with vacuum in it should float.
I'm sort of getting the idea that gravity creates a density gradient in the outer medium, and the buoyant object is trying to find its level in that gradient, as the more dense area is hitting the object with more molecules than the less dense one. But I'm a complete uneducated retard as well. Please help.

here's how vertebrates are able to evolve
1710238657186093
ever since rising from the ocean 400 million years ago, and since the fish turned into a frog, there have been "unused DNA" carried in vertebrate species

they are turned on and turned of by random mutation but the DNA is never "loss"

meanwile, insects lost ALL OF THEIR extra DNA 400 million years ago, probably due to some population bottleneck which favored smaller DNA molecules

if you compare human DNA + mice with that of several insects species you will note how insects are missing pieces of DNA in many places while human + mouse align perfectly with each other having of course some 20% of DNA different between a human and a mouse but nevertheless all the DNA is still there

in insects, nothing, huge gaps, less DNA than either human or mouse

HOWEVER the exceptions like moths, which have larger DNA than humans, are just twisted and horribly mutated ancient wasps. they have copied their COX3 gene about 1000 times and its one megabyte long, but this is not the norm in insect world, beetles dont have it like that

having one big COX3 gene doesnt mean you are having all the DNA that is missing between a human and a insect

ok but the final verdict is: a frog still has the potential of turning into a mammal if a whole lot of its unused extra DNA is turned on

a human embryo still has gill slits evolved from fish, these disappear within a few weeks and turn into ears and whatnot (this is not an example of extra DNAthough)

Why do mathematicians care so much about proving something is true for ALL cases, even if say presented with unbroken evidence of proofs for a trillion^trillion^etc cases

In scientific research we're only concerned with p values for practicality, not a p value of zero. What is the worth of proving "all" over proving "most cases we as humans could ever possibly be concerned with in the worldly life of our species"

>yes I know a trillion^trillion^etc is still 0% of ALL
>yes I know that a single zero off the 1/2 mark would prove Riemann false, but if it's near the end of the universe then what worth does that "false" even have?

Disillusioned by academia

Anyone up for a serious discussion about how hopeless and depressing it feels to be in academia (as compared to industry)? Why are we doing this to ourselves?

I left my highly paid IT job so that I could do grad school in linguistics. I feel like a lot of the professors are frauds. There is no respect for original thought. Coursework is rote and overwhelming. Lectures are subpar.

I presented my original research during the colloquium, and people were literally yawning. I think no one actually cares about you unless you're already some bigshot.

Black Holes — New Perspective?
s7ciDuGDKyYCHhMgG3guXY
Hello, I want to share a theory I’ve been thinking about regarding black holes.

Usually, black holes are seen as cosmic endpoints where matter and information disappear. But what if black holes have an internal structure, similar to planets like Earth, with layers and processes inside?

Earth has a core, mantle, and crust, held together by gravity and heat. Could black holes also have internal layers, not just destroying matter but transforming or storing it?

Quantum physics says information cannot be lost, so maybe black holes process it differently than we think. What if they are not just destructive, but also sites where new objects, like planets or stars, begin to form?

This idea doesn’t break known physics laws but offers a different way to look at black holes.

I’m interested to hear what others think.

Thanks for reading.

Electrical engineering
BeYourBold_Blog_Engineering-1024x684
I'm confused about the field of electrical engineering. What is it actually about? What are the main motivations to study it?

It seems that in the US it's one of the hardest and most prestigious degrees to do. Same e.g. in Switzerland. But in many other countries, EE is where CS dropouts go. This makes me confused about it because I think EE can actually mean different things in different places. What the fuck actually is it?

>Likely possible with 20th century tech

Why does no one take nuclear pulse propulsion more seriously? Is it just politics and the apparent absurdity of it killing serious study? Could it go somewhere if people if more people were interested in its potential?

When did you realize that we’re surrounded endlessly in magic/ignorance and we’re all just too afraid to admit it? Our faults or inability to assess all things? Gravity still terrifies the average physicist since they don’t know anything about it. It isn’t a good feeling knowing it’s all still magic.

"Cow's milk can produce anemia not only because it is low in iron, but because its calcium actively interferes with iron metabolism. The addition of milk or cheese to common meals is enough to reduce iron absorption by 50-60%."

I don't think there are any singularities in our universe.
some r*ddit image so i can make a thread
Think about it. As we all know, time to an outside observer seems to slow down at immense gravitational fields. So for a massive star, collapsing into a singularity would take too long. I believe from the star's point of view, as soon as it gains an event horizon, it evaporates instantly due to Hawking Radiation, before it can even collapse fully into a singularity. Need someone to weigh in, because I've been thinking about this for a good 10 years now.

...So has there been any studies about whether or not bayesian inference must be trained / is not part of the lizard brain pattern matching machine?

Because, and maybe this is a subtle point, if millions of years ago you saw a lion in a bush once and barely survived it seems to me it makes sense to thereafter always assume there is a lion in said bush, those people would survive and pass on their genes. While formally the events Lion was in bush and Lion is in bush now may be independent or indeed be negatively correlated it is not like you would survive going to that bush to check and determine the chances as a frequentist. So shouldn't the frequentists have died out?
So why do people get this wrong?

I don't understand the basics of quantum mechanics
1741276791674958
I'm a layman so please be gentle with me.
So what I understand is if you shoot electrons at the double slit, they'll be detected on the other side at random points by an experimental setup and if you try to fit a curve around these points the best possible one is given by wave mechanics. Am I correct until this point?
What I don't understand is why do physicists assume this wave is real and is a wave of probability. The wave itself feels like a mathematical artifact and treating it as probability density function a neat mathematically trick. Just cause you don't know at which random point on the wave is the electron detected before the measurement doesn't mean it only exists as a probability distribution of possible configurations before the measurement.

Anyone think decoherence might be a retrocausal artifact of eigenstate bifurcation when mapped across a non-Euclidean substrate? Like if you apply tensor-refracted heuristics in a quasi-Banach space, you get pseudo-isomorphic flux behavior that doesn’t even obey Born-rule constraints.

Could this imply hidden gauge invariants in a fractal inertia frame? Has anyone tried simulating this on an anisotropic quaternion array?

Redpill me on Wittgenstein
1747843502554338
If language is the fundamental constituent of human experience, how do we address the fact that language is structured?
If language is structured by "pictures", like Wittgensteins argues in The Tractatus, then these schematisms are what's foundational, not the linguistic expressions that make use of them, and Wittgenstein has done nothing but extend Kant barely an inch.
If language is structured by its use and human relations, as he argues in later work, then the realm of experience is undressed, and we've only begged the question.
Wtf am I missing?

China's embarked on massive desert reclamation and has been largely successful, could a similar project succeed in the US?

USA elon musk decomissions dragon capsule trump
In 2025, the US has cancelled Nancy Roman's telescope, cancelled Mars Sample Return, cancelled Lunar Gateway, Venus's atmospheric probe, cancelled LHWO, cancelled UOP, and a broad 50% budget cut.

But people were saying it's okay, because SpaceX was still a thing, with their Falcons and their developing Starship, as well as their Dragon capsules.

But now apparently the plug is being pulled on Dragon? How will the astronauts aboard the ISS come back home now? How will astronauts be sent back up there?

What is the scientific reason for why women like tall, high pitched voice, broad shoulder, with well structured skulls, smooth skin as opposed to men who have high pitched voices, narrow shoulders, big hips, recessed mandibles and have acne? I don't want to hear about any evolutionary biology nonsense. I want only realistic scientist theories, evolutionary biology is not one of them and the subset of Darwinism. I refuse those arguments. Evolution doesn't make sense considering it says we were once ugly looking monkeys which doesn't translate to why females like traits that have nothing to do with people that look like short hairy looking baboons with jutting mandibles. If anything they'd be scared shitless if they'd see someone like that.

How can I help my kid
pdf_64b40e78-ebdb-11ec-8119-9adb0a6200a5
My son has ASD and is 8, recently he's become obsessed with math. He's created or learened (not sure how) some sort if counting method with his hands where he represents numbers up to I think 100. He started of asking me simple math questions like addition "what's 8+2 daddy" and grew into more multiplication of bigger and bigger numbers. Now he's asking me what 8 to the power of 7 is and about permutations... I'm not smart or good at math, me and my wife are average or worse academically but when I punch the shit he's asking me into a calculator and ask him the answer he's usually correct. I don't know how to help develop this or even if I should or just let him carry onon his own? Unfortunately asking him about day to day shit is kind if pointless as he's off in his world completely and just wants to draw and make stories and characters up so asking him how he's doing this has been completely fruitless

Any suggestions?
