Maybe the date is an engineer/mathematician, then the arguments just creates silos between disciplines

You can’t leave us hanging! Where can I watch it? 🐡🐧

Oh! That’s nice to know about mining, making it safer for workers! But there’s still the environmental impact… A few years ago, I was talking with a mine engineer who seemed proud to say that they had to move a lake to mine. He claimed that simply shop-vaccuming fishes from one place to the other was good enough…

The only thing to keep in mind is that although particles are dimensionless (as far as we know), the do not exist without context. Spin relates to how a particle is linked to the rest of the world.

One way of seeing it is that spin can be represented by a “rotational polarisation” of the surrounding cloud of virtual particles.

It’s clean regarding chemical waste.

I’ve helped build nuclear waste caskets, nothing is perfect but the amount of attention put into making it safe is incredible! The layers (and quality) of stainless steel welds would put your average steel bridge to shame…

But fission will always be limited (as in non-renewable). If everything was powered by nuclear, I’m sure we’d see even more awefull mining operations. Also, fusion should in theory be much better, if the thermodynamics of it end up working.

There is the famous “belt trick”, plus this PBS Spacetime really explains it well!

All macroscopic examples of spinor involve an object attached to the exterior world. Electrons having spin 1/2 therefore imply that they don’t exist “by themselves” and are embedded in a larger field.

I’m not sure whether that would be the electron field of the electromagnetic field, or maybe all of the fields?

Move it deep underground, congtats you just invented geothermal 😁

The 1812 ouverture belongs to that episode of Farscape

I was sure the peace symbol was from combining the letters K + G from “kg of weed makes people peaceful”.

Not to be confised with your mémé

There’s an argument to have about conservation of culture, which is a thing in itself. (Why do people want to preserve antiquities?) There must have been some awesome poems in Sanskrit that we’ll never know.

Mostly apeaking, for me the simple fact of wanting other languages to die is a huge red flag of attempt at cultural erasure, like when the english tried to eradicate Scottish culture. Language erasure is a tool to marginalise those speaking it, and history shows that it never really end well…

When a language dies, a piece of hunan culture dies with it. Letting a language die is allowing erosion of human culture. Forcing or encouraging a language to die (so everyone can use the best language that I understand) is colonialism.

It will make it dead

J’utilise Arch, du coup!

World building was shit. New stuff was being added in later books that, if it existed in early books, would have made the story so different.

Do_not_ simply cut it in half. Concerta is made with some sort of pump mechanism inside.

Cutting it in half will expose the full content plus some stuff that’s not meant to be exposed. Follow the instructions from the R link on that other comment.

There are multiple types of color blindness, most of the time they affect the production of a specific cone inthe eye. Deuteranomaly is the red-detection cone being affected, and causes issues distinguishing red/green colors, but also blue/purple. It’s a “hardware” issue caused by less or lack of detection.

I’ve heard of “software” version of colorblindness, but it doesn’t seem to be as documented as others. I have a younger sibling that seemed to have “copied” my deuteranomaly despite being able to pass the “hardware” tests…

The exact neurons in the eye and the brain being triggeres are the same for detection of color, but where the “qualia” differs is to which external interpretation they are linked to. If we were able to isolate the souvenirs/associations that come from specific colors, I’m sure in general people would see the same colors.

Just like touching something hot triggers the same neurons as touching capsaicin, it creates a signal to the brain. What happens inside the brain depends on the life experience of each, but the initial signal is the same, and it can be proven with fMRI.

Off course, if we want to define a “qualia” as “the thing that can’t be proven by science”, then off course it won’t be provable using science. What is it, though?
