UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread 30 years after warp drives were proposed, we still can't make the math work.I think the marsupials would tell that frog that he also needs thumbs to do that. Seriously, we don't know for sure that there is not...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread AI can now replicate itself — a milestone that has experts terrified.Your quote below is what I was reacting to: Whatever, it still stands that the people developing AI are doing so for their own benefit...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread AI can now replicate itself — a milestone that has experts terrified.I will agree with the word choice of "crazy". What is being missed is that "AI" is not some self-sustaining psuedo-living being at this...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread 30 years after warp drives were proposed, we still can't make the math work.The Big Bang Theory folks are calling it "dark energy" (and, before that, "inflation"). And the big question is what you just asked...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Einstein wins again! Quarks obey relativity laws, Large Hadron Collider finds.I am not going to go do the math. I suggest you Google something like "quark mass vs hadron mass" or "baryon mass". I did that and got...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Einstein wins again! Quarks obey relativity laws, Large Hadron Collider finds.We already know that there are contours of gravitational attraction around masses. And, we can already compute the trajectories of...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread 20 years of satellite data reveal 'staggering' levels of glaciers melting, sea levels rising.The ramped-up production of solar panels is actually one part of the increased CO2 releases. It takes some time for the net effect of...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Einstein wins again! Quarks obey relativity laws, Large Hadron Collider finds.It takes a lot of additional energy to split hadrons into quarks. I think that energy is what becomes the greater mass of the separate...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Einstein wins again! Quarks obey relativity laws, Large Hadron Collider finds.Helio, The statement that things follow "straight" lines through "bent space" is the problem. There are no "contours" in that...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket debris creates dramatic fireball over Europe, crashes in Poland.We got some additional info on the cause (from another site): “During the coast phase of this Starlink mission, a small liquid oxygen...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Einstein wins again! Quarks obey relativity laws, Large Hadron Collider finds.Helio, Actually, what I am saying is that the analogy is not adequate, not just "imperfect". I think it fails to get people to...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Einstein wins again! Quarks obey relativity laws, Large Hadron Collider finds.There is still a problem with how we try to explain "how gravity works". The typical GRT explanation about "bending space" shows a...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Einstein wins again! Quarks obey relativity laws, Large Hadron Collider finds.I appreciate the Feynman quote: "I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.” But, I...

UUnclear Engineer reacted to ChrisA's post in the thread I want to believe — but yet another massive search for alien technosignatures just turned up nothing with
Like.
Yes. Both are looking for confirmation of a belief that is not based on reason. So many people want Star Trek to be true or for...
