  1. Mostly just insight into the hell than is the task of science teachers reviewing and grading papers everywhere.

  2.  @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.

  3.  @mecha-sheep7674  It should come from observation. But that is physics thinking.

  4.  @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.  @utkua  I see you didn't pay attention in high school biology.

  6. 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?

  7. 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.

  8.  @donutwindy  Funny thing is Jesus would probably just go, "Still wrong. But be nicer to each other okay?"

  9.  @Cuplex1  Most people are. But in this context, its that no one thinks something is a problem unless it effects them.

  10. 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.

  11. Depends on the observer.

  12. @5:00 They will no doubt insist on speaking to the Universe's manager.

  13.  @incandescentwithrage  Except tons of software never got patched and nothing major happened. 99% of the "disaster" would have just been annoying date glitches.

  14.  @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.

  15. Yes. But we pretend that QM (probabilistic approximation) only applied to the micro scales.

  16. That's because there isn't as much money to be made or power to be gained compared to making you do things.

  17.  @hotbit7327  I believe that was their point. The world is full of billions of general intelligences already, most of whom are tragically underutilized.

  18.  @la7era1u54  Singularities do not have a surface. Information theory is a metaphor not physical reality.

  19.  @Ψυχήμίασμα  Not if the predictions are designed to match what you want them to agree with your model on.

  20. Never underestimate The Establishment's ability to keep building wooden sailing ships in the age of iron and steam...

  21.  @AliothAncalagon  That is as false as assuming that fission will "save" the planet.

  22.  @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.

  23. He was probably referring to hype and funding.

  24. Do you guys even listen to her videos?

  25. 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.

  26.  @nagualdesign  Fools with $5M can generally also afford lawyers to prevent being parted with it.

  27. How much money do you have? Yes. That big.

  28. You probably wouldn't agree if you were the one upset.

  29.  @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.

  30.  @MsSonali1980  You are presuming that all life is as fragile and intolerant of radiation as we are.

  31. 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.

  33. Black holes ARE entropy.

  37. 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.

  38. 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.

  39.  @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).

  40. Average for an afternoon in Florida during spring.

  41.  @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.

  42. 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.

  43. 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.

  44. No it was still a dick move.

  46. That doesn't really matter. Someone somewhere on de interewebs will always argue against even the obvious.

  47.  @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.

  48. More of a "why we can't have nice things". Its because the terms are abused, or worse, used to facilitate the bad actors.

  49. 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...

  50.  @NoNamer123456789  Its not "based on" anything. its a fictional handwavium. "Quatium enganglement" most definitely won't get you a "transporter" either.
