  1. Your mistake was still being on Facebook.

  2. "Computer viruses and such could arise from random "code" on the internet" That isn't how computer instructions work. This was done in a modified (badly written) "Turing gas" basically a chemical process simulator. It uses the physical memory of a computer as a analog to a petrie dish or chemical reactor. It has sets of rules and such that allow the interactions and replication in the "code" because its normally used to simulate chemical interactions. There is no "soup of code" that can create self replicating programs and processor low-level instruction sets are designed to prevent this kind of "exploit" from happening IRL.

  3. A Universe that does not allow observers does not mean that universe does not exist. Falllng trees and empty forests and all that.
    55
  4. Could be worth billions in research grants if you can link it to climate change.
    33
  5. It is ironically impressive that he was able to scam a scammer.
    24
  6. Because the more obscure it is, the more grandiose they can make the promises and the larger the grant request bottom line can be.
    20
  7. Because making other things illegal is so effective... No. Because the problem is that much of this is not recognized as bad much less fraud.
    19
  8. Theoretical physics is called that for a reason. The only problem is that it is presented as anything but the gibberish it is.
    19
  9. He's not trying to get a prediction. He's trying to make the prediction match his pet model.
    19
  10. Only defunding parts of it that don't give him money.
    17
  11. That doesn't get the clicks or sell the books.
    15
  12. Or (if we are entertaining the idea) it could be like a Klein bottle, the space time of each universe recurses into each other.
    14
  13. It gets worse. You have an AI "blackbox" within the classic committee "blackbox", increasing the abstraction and opaquely of government policy and action. Nothing could possibly go wrong there...
    14
  14.  @darrennew8211  They are absolutely not self-aware. Just because a chatbot can tell you what it is, does not mean it "understands" what it is. A self-driving car's software is just predictive algorithms about driving and navigation that has no other awareness that a human taxi driver would have.
    13
  15. You shouldn't judge people by how they look. Because that is an 'ism.
    12
  16.  @methylene5  And that would be the "different enough from what is needed for commercial power transmission..."
    11
  17.  @waterturtle2919  "High speed Trading" is the ultimate "rent seeking". It provides no value to the market's primary purpose of finding prices and value of equities. It is pure "skimming".
    11
  18.  @SFH99621  That is by definition untrue. A theoretical did not design any piece of computer hardware. Metaphysicis don't usually bother with mathematical pretense.
    10
  19. Cite sources.
    9
  20. Not really. An array powerful enough to have kinetic surface effects (ie "deathray") is different enough from what is needed for commercial power transmission that international eyebrows would go up. Even concentrated mazer can be defeated with nothing but mylar and conductive mesh grounded to earth. Commercial is spread wide enough that it would be more uncomfortable to be hit by it than dangerous. A military mazer relies upon heating up a sympathetic material (vegetation, water, some rock) to the vaporization point, causing it to explode for blast and fragmentation .

  21. I looked, Rome is not burning.
    8
  22.  @darrennew8211  I think you don't understand what "self-awareness" means in the context of consciousness.
    8
  23.  @JustinCase80884  You can disagree but you'd be wrong. People fear change and assume the way things are is the "right way" things should and have always been.
    8
  24.  @marcoottina654  The AI will have a pedantic, passive aggressive personality.
    8
  25.  @Alondro77  No worse than "Many Worlds"...
    8
  26. She would correct your work.
    8
  27. But only such opinions that they disagree with. That is the actual problem.
    8
  28. At least he's honestly dishonest.
    7
  29. The authors of this paper clearly have never had to clean rain gutters. The "moving parts" will be all the bugs and leaf debris that constantly clog up the tubes.
    7
  30. But then how will the lawyers be able to make their private jet payments and be smugly holier-than-thou?
    7
  31.  @TheGigaflop  Slime mold probably has a better sense of humor than you though.
    7
  32. His is almost surely armored.
    7
  33.  @MichaelWinter-ss6lx  /eyeroll
    7
  34. In a backhanded kind of way.
    7
  35. I was waiting for the Planet 9/X or Nemesis tie in/ plot twist. Neither than nor this are particularly valid or useful.
    7
  36.  @R4Z4K1N  Not really. Deep sea floors don't have much of an ecosystem and the oceans are vast and already contain water soluble radioactives naturally.
    7
  37.  @JanKrampkop  I think you missed their point and unironically proved it.
    7
  38.  @howmanyfermats  Not really. A Kessler cascade could start at the Starlink (or any of the half dozen competing same-same) constellation orbit or at a higher altitude, and even if the majority of the debris deorbit "quickly", the sheer mass and number of objects could "seed" more objects into higher orbital zones from the eccentric orbits collisions produce.
    7
  39.  @Jedbullet29  No you missed the point.
    6
  40.  @Jason1975ism  Of course that is pretty much the best source of information we have on them. So yeah, we will be remembered for the garbage landfills and a layer of concrete and plastics in the geologic record. lol
    6
  41.  @eruiluvatar236  Its entropy within the micro systems of the individual. We already know that DNA dos have error correcting built into it. But there is only so much that can be done and errors still accumulate in as complex a system as an organism. Life actually harnesses that in the form of mutation that drives evolution.
    6
  42. Because you don't understand that the goal here isn't to produce a practical fusion reactor, but to maximize the amount and duration of funding for it.
    6
  43. He's not wrong. We've needed to do it for decades now since entering "late-stage capitalism". Social tensions are building. We can either find a controlled way to restructure society or we can replay the 20th century.
    6
  44.  @AliothAncalagon  You are mistakenly presuming that only current fission designs and fuels are possible.
    6
  45. Completely false.
    6
  46. @14:33 "biologists thought they'd found a new species of hummingbird but..." They killed and stuffed it.
    6
  47. That's okay no one else will either. Which won't stop them from extrapolating some literal interpretation from it anyway.
    6
  48.  @maverick9708  It doesn't need a majority , only a tipping point.
    6
  49.  @alex_travels7236  lol. Actually it does. OP: I don't think you are using the word "orthogonal" the way you mean. There is more evidence for the existence of an flavor of theism you choose than there is of a multiverse.
    5
  50. "Challenge" doesn't quite cover it. Picking the extreme edge of experimental astrophysics as a "proof" is a bit on the disingenuous side.
    5
  51. Mostly just insight into the hell than is the task of science teachers reviewing and grading papers everywhere.
    5
  52.  @joelcarson4602  Biomass tonnage is tonnage. Commercial forests are still trees, and the products produced probably lock away more carbon for longer in the form of lumber, structure, and paper products than just the regular natural biological recycling.
    5
  53.  @mecha-sheep7674  It should come from observation. But that is physics thinking.
    5
  54.  @Ψυχήμίασμα  "That makes no sense" The context here is that they picked a phenomenon that is... subjective. Black holes. So it does matter. Predictions are the what your hypothesis uses to decide if its true or false. If you have a shit model, but you choose to use test predictions that are vague and abstracted, like say... apparent emission from a SMB half a billion LY away, then you can get away with a lot more than if you picked something that you can repeatably observe in a nice quiet lab.
    5
  55.  @utkua  I see you didn't pay attention in high school biology.
    5
  56. It doesn't have "no gravity" within a sphere (or a galaxy). There is plenty of gravity. The attraction is just equalized within it. Likewise just because there is no gravitational attraction does not mean there is no mass. Reminds me of how some flat earthers and infinite energy believers who throw a big bowl of sketchy maths and "logic" at the wall trying to rationalize what is just a false belief, I mean theory. How did any reviewers get past the abstract of this?
    5
  57. The science and technobabble even in the old series was based on the pop-sci and sci-fi of the era. Warp drive was based on the implications of relativity that was pretty much standard fare by the 60s'. I think the only technology they made up was the "transporters" as a device to simplify and speed up the stories.
    5
  58.  @donutwindy  Funny thing is Jesus would probably just go, "Still wrong. But be nicer to each other okay?"
    5
  59.  @Cuplex1  Most people are. But in this context, its that no one thinks something is a problem unless it effects them.
    5
  60. That is the whole point. You are just increasing the computational power required to a degree that they can never keep up with the through put. Its always easier to resend a packet than to read and retransmit. That is the only reason it "works". the "quantiuminess" is just flim flam markettering.
    5
  61. Depends on the observer.
    5
  62. @5:00 They will no doubt insist on speaking to the Universe's manager.
    5
  63.  @incandescentwithrage  Except tons of software never got patched and nothing major happened. 99% of the "disaster" would have just been annoying date glitches.
    5
  64.  @lost4468yt  The OP is (trying to) confuse theft of IP stealing whole clothe with "fair use" modification (like on YT) and how AI train off of scraped data, but both are "derived works" not copy.
    4
  65. Yes. But we pretend that QM (probabilistic approximation) only applied to the micro scales.
    4
  66. That's because there isn't as much money to be made or power to be gained compared to making you do things.
    4
  67.  @hotbit7327  I believe that was their point. The world is full of billions of general intelligences already, most of whom are tragically underutilized.
    4
  68.  @la7era1u54  Singularities do not have a surface. Information theory is a metaphor not physical reality.
    4
  69.  @Ψυχήμίασμα  Not if the predictions are designed to match what you want them to agree with your model on.
    4
  70. Never underestimate The Establishment's ability to keep building wooden sailing ships in the age of iron and steam...
    4
  71.  @AliothAncalagon  That is as false as assuming that fission will "save" the planet.
    4
  72.  @AliothAncalagon  If you are unfamiliar with thorium etc. reactors, perhaps you should not presume to have a valid opinion on the subject? Also, how soon do you think it would take for nuclear power to "widely adopted"? Hint: longer than 2040.
    4
  73. He was probably referring to hype and funding.
    4
  74. Do you guys even listen to her videos?
    4
  75. I hate it when I accidentally drive to Saturn. Could be in the galactic equivalent of a Lagrange point. Some place where gravitational tension is preventing the gas from condensing into stars and its too far to be heated and pushed by photon pressure as well.
    4
  76.  @nagualdesign  Fools with $5M can generally also afford lawyers to prevent being parted with it.
    4
  77. How much money do you have? Yes. That big.
    4
  78. You probably wouldn't agree if you were the one upset.
    4
  79.  @CarpetOfStars_98  Please don't make assumptions of all of the people you see on the internet. Some of them might be scientists who might know more than you.
    4
  80.  @MsSonali1980  You are presuming that all life is as fragile and intolerant of radiation as we are.
    4
  81. It implies that the progenitor star(s) that created the nebula that our solar system formed from were of the energetic variety (possibly magstars or processes we aren't aware of yet), other wise Earth would be completely devoid of such elements.
    4
  82. Or she intentionally chose it to be funny and to annoy pedantic people.

  83. Black holes ARE entropy.
    3
  84. It exited stage right.
    3
  85. Nothing at all.
    3
  86. At least tulips looked pretty...
    3
  87. That only works when you have no stake in what is said and the actions those opinions cause. If what someone says causes them to discriminate or cause harm to you, I don't think you'll be keen on dying to support it. Western, and especially American culture, is no long largely homogenous where most agree with and conform to its social norms where it didn't matter if you offended or harmed any of the Them who didn't.
    3
  88. Sadly no. Astrophysicists use it as a way to patch over their obviously flawed model and theorem. There are lots of papers that try to assume its very real.
    3
  89.  @JohnSmith-b4w  At different points in spacetime. If every blackhole feeds energy back to the "beginning". As plausible as them leading to an entirely new universe (which is an oxymoron).
    3
  90. Average for an afternoon in Florida during spring.
    3
  91.  @StuHol-jb1hh  The opposite, it has always meant something literal, the literal point at which something becomes unobservable. It has since become a metaphor in pop-sci.
    3
  92. Temporal dragging says nah. Besides, the technical and energy requirements of any of this is mind bogglingly silly. Far easier to just create planets full of billions of monkeys randomly flicking at switches.
    3
  93. Since liquid hydrogen can't exist naturally anywhere on Earth, that is not a surprise. At the energy scales of LH2, we really don't know what kind of lipid analog would exist. It could be something wierdly exotic like nitrogen or another element that we consider a gas or liquid, but would be a solid at these temperatures.
    3
  94. No it was still a dick move.
    3
  95. I wish she did a German version so it would sound angry even when she is laughing at it.
    3
  96. That doesn't really matter. Someone somewhere on de interewebs will always argue against even the obvious.
    3
  97.  @SebWilkes  How is change in climate an example of entropy? Life takes the energy that would otherwise be entropically wasted and concentrates some of it and builds greater complexity and organization. It is the only thing we know of that goes against the prevailing entropy gradient.
    3
  98. More of a "why we can't have nice things". Its because the terms are abused, or worse, used to facilitate the bad actors.
    3
  99. That makes far too much sense for human beings. Because things are always more complicated where the conflicts occur is in specific "edge case" points. Regions inland, who have large populations that have outgrown or exhausted natural water sources, usually who don't have the capital or state resources for such mega projects. Then throw politics, religion, race, greed, etc in and blood becomes cheaper than water...
    3
  100.  @NoNamer123456789  Its not "based on" anything. its a fictional handwavium. "Quatium enganglement" most definitely won't get you a "transporter" either.
    3
  101.  @EinsteinsHair  But then it wouldn't be funny.
    3
  102. Pretty much the quantum phisucs works.
    3
  103. Don't worry. AI will make your bank account worthless long before hand.
    3
  104.  @mal2ksc  Or its a surreptitious way to wear body armor while casually dressed. A tech billionaire does not need a shtick.
    3
  105. We know so little and almost surely wrong about so much, that its pretty much a fool's errand to speculate, much less argue about who's speculation is "righter". That is her point.
    3
  106. The presumption of wormholes is that the two "portals" to it are overlapping or superimposed spacetime volumes. Its only from a outside (of the Universe) frame of reference, that it looks like a tunnel from one place to another.
    3
  107. Programmers now have delusions of being scientists after a couple of them got a nobel in Fisuks...
    3
  108. I am impressed that you could say all that with a straight face.
    3
  109.  @neilreynolds3858  lol. Off by several orders of magnitude. But feel free to help restore the environment by, you know.
    3
  110.  @seancooper5140  Science has nothing to do with "opinion". They and you are not correct. Most wrong ideas are based upon "opinions" not facts.
    3
  111. I wonder how much of that money is from Silicon Valley Bank. Har Har Har.
    3
  112. The only thing this paper proves is that we have lost a century in physics.... At least Sabine will have a lifetime's supply of material to make fun of.
    3
  113.  @nitrovent  Assembly FTW.
    3
  114.  @aniksamiurrahman6365  Because you can't sue and fundraise off those as easily.
    3
  115.  @Krusty-kl5ej  Because they people screaming hysterically about the existential threat of climate change don't know what any of those terms mean.
    3
  116. When you're a particle physics, everything looks like a particle. We really need to find the partitron, the particle that makes the particles. Its the perfect subject for megaexperiment! It will take decades cost billions and can never be proven.
    3
  117. It wasn't for public good. It was someone trying to force their ideas upon others. Pretentiously.
    3
  118.  @GnosticAtheist  No. Not even close.
    3
  119.  @maverick9708  Starlink (Musk) started it though. Everyone else is just following along.
    3
  120. If someone were to fire up the warp drive as described in the paper video, no one would care about the LIGO readings as the Earth's orbit or even surface was disrupted by it.
    2
  121. Very much uses the same "belief" mechanism. The problem is that the standard model itself throws questions at theories.
    2
  122. No because increasing the number/area of trees increases the CO2 locked away in that biomass an order of magnitude greater than any artificial scheme can do. That biomass decomposes into the ground soil and is reused by the next generation of trees. Cultivated forests are used to make products with. Wood materials, paper and of course toilet paper, those ultimately get recycled or locked in landfills.
    2
  123.  @methylene5  I think you are breathing too much CO2. How do you think soils are created and why landfills actually fill the ground? Also you are presuming trees only have one life-cycle and aren't' followed on by other generations the increases the carbon capture. No other way of C02 reduction is both self-sustaining and "carbon neutral" (requires no human energy input). But let me guess, you are an investor in some carbon credits scam?
    2
  124. Quantum computers have niche applications that are not well suited to general computing.
    2
  125. @5:30 Mathematics models nature, but nature itself is not mathematical because it is continuous, whereas math wants to be discrete. In between the two is probably what we are missing.
    2
  126. These darn alien kids and their 10cm particle pointers.
    2
  127. An AGI would not be a "species" unless it were biological. The paper is stupid. There is plenty of life that is passive and has no "consciousness" Plants, fungi, etc. I'm not going to bother to read the paper to find out if this is just a bad analogy to explore causality or... its just stupid.
    2
  128. Psssssst. Cosmology is all just magic thinking with math.
    2
  129.  @Linguae_Music  does a Geology 101 fail.
    2
  130. @22:16 They want reality to be weird because it allows massive quantities of gobbly gook and the ability to promise fantastic things that are "within reach" if only they get that grant or next round of investor funding.
    2
  131. It takes a human baby literally years of accumulating training data before it can do anything but cry and poop itself. In a "device" that took a billion years to develop. We have only in the past few years developed the models and processes for doing the same in robotics. And robots don't have to go thru the learning stage for each one made. Their software can be copied and mass produced. Likewise, robotics are expensive now because most of them are hand made prototypes and limited production. Computers used to cost millions when only dozens were being built. Not they cost dozens because millions are being built. Stick to physics Sabine.

  132. Trigger discipline!!! U hold yur gunz like an astrofizasist. lolz
    2
  133.  @darrennew8211  You can't afford for me to educate you.
    2
  134.  @meiskam  The particle is not a wave, only its most likely position.
    2
  135. Actually it doesn't. 99.999~% of discreet universes could be unfavorable to the formation of any observer to notice how wasteful the multiverse is.
    2
  136.  @drbuckley1  "Civilizations die by suicide, not by murder." Tell that to the Carthaginians.
    2
  137. Not really.
    2
  138.  @Hedgehobbit  Maybe, hopefully, cut n pasted from another reply: A Kessler cascade could start at the Starlink (or any of the half dozen competing same-same) constellation orbit or at a higher altitude, and even if the majority of the debris deorbit "quickly", the sheer mass and number of objects could "seed" more objects into higher orbital zones from the eccentric orbits collisions produce.
    2
  139. Its more a gravity dent than a hole.
    2
  140. You mean Sagan didn't live long enough to not measure up to YOUR standard of intellectual honesty?
    2
  141.  @JustinCase80884  And for each of those changes, someone bitched about it and said "the end is nigh!!!". What we are talking about here is environmental changes, not human cultural or technological ones. Humans with vested interest in the current status quo resist both of those in equal measure. But only one of those do you not have any choice in the matter.
    2
  142.  @manofsan  No. Its pure gibberish. Literally and theoretically. Whatever just happens to fall into them. And its not "recorded". Its trapped and completely randomized particles. So not only is such "information" irretrievable, its meaningless.
    2
  143. More likely its your pedantry that is the problem.
    2
  144. This boat sailed in the 70's BTW... So long ago the entire environmental and climate science/activist "community" biases and assumptions are completely unconscious. It really is a matter of irrational faith and this poisons any discussion or solution finding.
    2
  145.  @johnhosky2931  No you don't. The concentrations are so low at ground levels that you can't even notice it and natural ground sources are higher. The dust the OP mentioned is probably volcanic ash.
    2
  146. Gates can't make ROI on planting trees. He's right in that the majority of the Earth's CO2 cycle is controlled by ocean phytoplankton. He's wrong that trees would not help and having forests have much other ecosystem benefits. But see first sentence. He has invested in carbon capture contraption "carbon credits" scam. And we all know how much he hates competition.
    2
  147.  @NondescriptMammal  Its an effective, "close enough" approximation for the majority of people who will never need to know sub-atomic structure theory in their lives.
    2
  148.  @danielbarbieri8199  Chaos theory disproves that. The Universe has randomness and asymmetry completely unrelated to consciousness. Also why determinism only makes sense if you think of and picture the flow of time in a retroactive frame of view. Its purely an artifact of our (limited human) consciousness. Not how reality works.
    2
  149.  @deltamico  lol. You can filter poop all you want, but its still poop.
    2
  150. So... they basically said nothing because macro or "quantum" (below direct measurable) scales, you are still within the same frame of reference. But... paper published so the dept. chair will get off their backs for a while.
    2
  151. No this doesn't work. Its been tried for years. As mentioned in the video, the sensor input is meaningless unless it is the feedback from an action. Recording humans only allows you to mimic that exact movement or behavior, but not predict and create new actions.
    2
  152. Its all nonsense so that doesn't really say much.
    2
  153. "You just don't call it guesses" HAHAHHAHhhahhhhaaaaaa
    2
  154. If they did that they wouldn't be able to get new grants or publish!!!
    2
  155. No because all of your particles know precisely where they are at all times.

  156.  @santyclause8034  I did if you would think before typing.

  157. @1:00 New channel coming soon: "Speaking German with Sabine".
    2
  158. "Here be dragons". Mathematically speaking.
    2
  159.  @SelectCircle  It is what happens when you take the theoretical concept that seems like it would work (ie: the maths) and attempt to apply it to reality.
    2
  160.  @hamfranky  Dark matter is NOT the observation. It is a hypothetical term used to "correct" the difference we see between The Standard Model and observations.
    2
  161. Probably just a badly written virus by a script kiddie who didn't know what they were doing and just cut n pasting code around.
    2
  162. An AI can replace an entire office of code monkeys, costs a fraction, and is ten times faster. You still have to have system analysists and testers regardless. If you are threatened by that, it is a you problem.
    2
  163.  @AlgeistNydream  I apparently don't have any choice.
    2
  164. A singularity event horizon is just the edge of the effect, its not an actual thing. and expands as the mass of its BH increases.
    2
  165.  @justacookie  Stupid Ways To get Grants.
    2
  166.  @wardka  Considering where it is, probably just between Sagittarius A* and some much closer clump of the central bar or arm that creates a gravitational void.
    2
  167. Its no worse than some of the ideas that get posted in these comments. I wonder if he's (err. was) a subscriber?
    2
  168. No. However, since its a public ledger, it is "decryption proof". It doesn't play the encryption arms race game.
    2
  169. Reminds me of that experiment see how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
    2
  170. Speculation based upon speculation...
    2
  171. Einstein was probably right.
    2
  172. Infinite density does not mean infinite mass. Even a super massive singularity doesn't fabricate matter for its little private universe because.... a whole bunch of conservation laws. So such a universe would be tiny and sparse. Barely enough for a few angels to dance upon it.

  173. It seems to be treating each condition as its own system and then averaging out the two doing some matrix math on the probability distributions.
    2
  174. Not crazy. Just stupid. I'm sure there would be more easy/efficient ways to create "quantum data centers". People can't imagine beyond their own technological idioms. Before the Universe was clockworks, today, It is elaboration on our electronics and information processing schemes. Both are surely wrong. Reminds me of that old joke: If all a physicist has is a particle collider, everything becomes a particle problem.

  175. No because spacetime is not a 2D "surface". The "wave" is taken up by the law that space and time equate to 1. Where space density increases , time decreases and vice versa.

All those long gone civilizations leave a "fossil" of EM and other signs of their existence that continue to propagate thru space without them. So it should be possible to hear "something" regardless of when they actually existed. Presuming we just aren't too feeble to hear it.

The complaint is largely "pushback" by threatened established human interests with not a little bit of wanting to "cash in". Which is not unreasonable. If your work (or the IP you "own") is used to in order to derive a product then you are generally entitled to compensation for it. I imagine this will ultimately result in a tax or royalty fee on AI companies to cover the social costs of the tech.

  215.  @JakeStine  That is completely wrong.
    1
  216. Yeah probably not. That close of a close approach would have disrupted the orbital motion of the proto planetary disk far more than it is. As it is, every aberration is easily explained by the chaos of the clearing of the orbital tracks and early bombardment eon. The only things still going retro are the stuff that is only loosely bound and might have been collected long after the nebula cleared. But I guess you've gotta publish something that says something that will a paper published and cited after you spent that grant on compute time, eh?

Quantum computers et. al. are like fusion, they are the perfect research subjects.

And as long as you can keep churning out papers and press releases that tease that "breakthru is just around the corner", the money will continue to roll in.

  357. The 90's internet bubble popped because capital and spending for Y2K dried up and any startups that did not have viable business cases failed and the market lost confidence in the sector. "The Internet" is a medium, not a marketplace. The current "quantum this" or "AI that" is just the cyclical mania that has always infected speculative investment, be it tulips or "radium therapy".

  358. Simple reality kills the "holographic principle" and relegates it to the philosophical speculation it belongs. In reality there is no "empty space". Any volume, at any scales, is constantly traversed by particles that "pertubate" its gravitational and magnetic environment (its not a field). Were this "theory" true, we would readily see its effects in highly "polluted" spaces, you know, like the distance between your eyes and the screen you are reading this on. So the exact opposite phenomenon would be witnessed over cosmological distances. And yes, Susskind is an asshole who is a major contributor to losing a century in physics.

  402.  @Galahad54  Conservation of angular momentum begs otherwise. If all of the mass of a BH were literally "on the skin" of the event horizon, it would be relatively easy for infalling matter and light to escape. Likely, if such a thing were "true" then its simply a relativistic artifact. It would look like that from the frame of an external observer, but not from the matter within. And practically it doesn't matter (haha) from our perspective because this kind of paradox is behind the "Veil of God" of the event horizon, that forever removes its entire mass from the visible Universe. So it doesn't really matter if its shell or a single tiny point to anyone except for a few theoretical naval gazers.

  413. Except everyone keeps saying that but our society continues to get more complex. People have whined about the "end is neigh" for centuries, probably thousands of years. Mostly it comes from people adverse to change (ie; Boomers). "More power and resources are concentrated in fewer centres of power than at any time in history. " That is not true relative to the available power and resource. Despotic tyrants were the typical political structure until recently and they exercised absolute centralized control. That is simply not true today, except for enlightened places like N. Korea, Iran, and Russia. Even in short power distance places like China or S. Korea, or in the West power is distributed widely even if you consider just the "elites" no groups even discrete industries (sorry to disappoint the tin-foil-hat community). Collapses come from external forces not from within. A big space rock offs the dinosaurs, climate change probably caused the Bronze Age collapse, the Renaissance/Industrial Revolution killed not only feudalism, but many cultures around the world via colonialism, etc.

However if I tell you my address or you can see my IP, my waveform will collapse and I will decohere to a specific location. Quantum mechanics are simply the mathematics of probabilistic approximation. There is nothing special about the very small except it can't be measured without disturbing it. So the artifacts of approximation can't be dismissed like they can in the directly measurable. Anything else is just silly spooky magic mumbo jumbo to sell books and grant requests.

  429. "We don't use wave functions for people..." My specific location is in superposition to the Earth's surface with its peak probability somewhere in the Southeastern US. That said, Saying "wave-function of the entire Universe" means they either don't know what a wave-function is, or are creating a meaningless abstraction that will have zero practical value, even for quantum gravity. It'll be just an equation that has to be crammed to match observation that provides no greater cosmological insight than asking a cat (not that one) what the true nature of the Universe is.

  431.  @5naxalotl  QM is an abstraction, not reality. The present problem, is that the same thing that allows for approximation, also creates artifacts in the math. This is why it seems to only have application at the micro scales, where indirect observation can't be made. And this is why it does not "work" with gravity.

So if the sats hit the fan, they will be able to go "opps, our bad." and throw the nearly incalculable cost on insurance and government with effectively zero liability.

  510. The experiment should be devised so that the test subject is free to move into any state with an equal probability. It doesn't really matter that you are choosing the 2nd state over the first. The measurement "locks in" that value for that "round" of the experiment. That is why it gives these "spooky" results. Its a red herring anyway because what the "zeno effect" is really measuring is the probability over a given time, not that the probability goes up over time. To see the true probability distribution think of a pinball machine that has multiple targets, once it bounces off the first it resets and can hit another, but the score accumulates.
