  1. Oh its far worse than that. Misunderstanding quantum mechanics has led to at least a lost century in physics.

  2. KIrk doesn't die. But everyone within a hundred kms dies from the blast and radiation.

  3. I wonder how much safeguarding of biodiversity you can get for how much it costs to ship things to the Moon, when it is currently measured in the millions of dollars per kilo. Also the high radiation environment of the Moon probably isn't very conducive to your stem cells being useful very long for anything but making a very expensive stew with. But a worthy candidate for dumbest idea of 2024 though.

  4. It doesn't disappear unless it truly is a ponzi scheme.

  10. Cubic watermelons are only cubic because they are grown in cubic forms. If you grow "cubic watermelon" without it, it will be a naturally round shape. Therefore, "Square watermelons don't exist." ...until someone genegineeers one.

  11. It will still be a stupid idea.

  12. Its a shame so much paper and ink was wasted on this. Too bad they didn't give you a red hover pen.

  13. Nerd fail. The "phasers" in Star Trek do not use lasers. Magnetic articulation will always be easier. This is pretty much an exercise in "if all you have is a hammer..."

  14. When you see everything as a wave-function, every solution requires a wave-function. And a reserecah grant...

  15. Sabine doesn't stick to physics again... Are you trying to appeal to all those newly reviled Trump voters?

  17. When you create social systems that can be gamed, don't hate the player, hate the game.

  18. Also, "x people died from y" is just the count of all people who happened to die within the region that is affected by "y", not that they were directly killed by it. Its not even a probability calc.

  19. Also why do doctors have to prescribe medicines when people could be healthy if they would change their lifestyle and eat healthily.

  20. As opposed to the current generation of selfish sociopaths.

  21. Hyperloop, like the Boring Co,. are a scheme to get investors to pay for developing tube trains and excavating passages on Mars. Everything Musk does is oriented or has an application towards that goal.

  22. Basically they wasted everyone's time who read it.

  23. I can see why you like his deterministic theory.

  24.  @shardator  From your minute relative perspective anyway. Our part of the Universe might be part of a block of lead in the Megaverse.

  27. Nothing quantum is actually sent thru the network, because that is silly as you mention. What is supposedly transmitted is a placeholder for the state/value of an engangled pair. You send enough of them and "Monte Carlo!" you have a private key. Probably. Its that which makes it difficult, but not impossible, (insert quantum flim flam solution here) to break.

  29.  @WestAirAviation  Most aren't brilliant. The most successful ones (ie: published and get invited on to TV talkshows) are just car salesmen who stayed in college too long. The truth is we really have no better understanding than the cavemen who pointed up at the night sky and made up fanciful stories that met their need for understanding at that point in time.

  31. @0:49 Wait. I thought it was Al Gore invented the Internet? /s The punch line here is that blockchain is decidedly NOT decentralized. All of them require clearing exchange nodes to function, and as mentioned locks data and value within that tech/brand "ecosystem". All of them are highly vulnerable to government seizure, failure, or fraud (Silkroad and of course FTX). Anyone who claims blockchain creates anonymous, independent control of anything is lying or ignorant.

  32. Sage advice.

  33. I imagine in practice, these would be more like the Internet backbone fiber or gas pipelines, shunting power around regional power grids, not retail service lines. So they would be heavily insulated, no need to fear for the burds. However, Picture what would happen if a line carrying megaamps of power ever lost its superconducting. It would make a gas line explosion look small.

  35. Yes.

  36. Don't make the mistake of "technopomorphizing", trying to fix the Universe and its physical properties into some human centric analogy or model. It didn't work with gods, cogs n' gears, and it won't work with AI (machine learning). AFAWK the universe does not "evolve" in the biological sense because what would be the "selection pressure"? Physically the Universe just follows its rules and is structured the way it is because of them not by any iteration.

  41. You can't move cold you can only move heat. There I fell for the "call for engagement".

  42. QM is the mathematics of approximation. So yes, by definition its "always wrong".

  43. @5:50 Exactly. Fusion generates neutrons, fast or hot doesn't matter. That they aren't showing a neutron count as proof means they are FOS one way or another.

  44. I'm sure someone will handwave "quantum zero point something something".

  45. This does not. All it would do is put more trash on the Moon.

  46.  @davidtherwhanger6795  I didn't miss it. It is still stupid. The Moon is the worst possible place to put a genetic repository because, at the technological level where we have "a permanent colony on the Moon", that could itself survive the total destruction of Earth's biosphere, that event would have to be so catastrophic that is would be useless anyway.

  47. Except that BH's evaporate as entropic energy loss. So they could only ever meet as ghosts.

  48. Except we would have found any like star that had that proper motion by now. A "separated at birth" theory isn't required to explain the Solar System's present state.

  49.  @Ψυχήμίασμα  Because there is no way to quantifiably measure them. They literally picked something that was on the edge of the Universe and our understanding of physics. Therefore yes, its not empirical evidence and this paper is nothing but handwaving to support someone's pet theory. Please engage your critical thinking.
