  1. Basically, you only move along those lines only if no other force is acting on you. By not moving along the "straight lines", it is not bypassing gravity, but simply having another force act on you. As it happens, the ground is in the way and happens to be acting on you at all times (and you on it).

  2. Yeah only 4 million times the mass of the Sun and about 80,000 times the volume. Very small.

  3.  @NiceEyeballs  The comment didn't target or mention anyone specific, it was only talking about general trends in society. I agree positivity is great, but I wouldn't say that bringing up society issues is the same thing as spreading hate.

  4. This makes me realize this type or similar type of game is perrect for game shows. The best scenarios are naturally tied to the worst ones causing palpable tension.

  5.  @aldunlop4622  It's true for "normal" sized black holes, you would get spaghettified. But for a supermassive black hole, the change in gravitational field is gradual enough at the event horizon that a human sized object wouldn't be torn to shreds.

  6. Yep, I can confirm the courses I had on the subject left virtually no impact on me. They always made it sound harder than it really is and skipped through the concepts.

  7. It does make sense since they mentioned white is just a blue led with a cap on

  8. especially by the commenters in this video, many of whom want to believe that science is faulty.

  10.  @feha92  About your same wavelength question. If the sun emitted only light in the same wavelength as earth, it would mean the sun is unenergetic body like a planet. Remember, earth's wavelengths are mostly infrared not visible, while the sun is hot enough to release UV, visible and more energetic infrared. So you can imagine, if there was a earth like planet beside us but no star, it would be very dark and our incoming vs outgoing energy budget would be imbalanced. The earth would slowly cool. There would be geologic activity, but it would slow down after a while. And the weather from facing the sun, the sun would be so unenergetic that it earth would barely notice a thing. The reason entropy remains relatively unchanged on Earth is because the incoming and outgoing energy is roughly the same (not exactly the same). This isn't a rule for planetary bodies, it's just circumstance that our planet is in the correct range and conditions for this to be true. Think of it like this, in the example, the sun gives us one high energy photon for every 20 low energy photons in a roughly equal energy exchange. If the sun gave us 1 low energy photon, the earth would still radiate 20 low energy photons and slowly cool. Equal energy exchange is not a given.

  11. No offense, but it's very ignorant to think that there is one explanation for a math problem just because it has one answer. Both your explanation and the video are correct. An explanation is just a way to arrive at an answer. A simple example. What's 150 times 2 divided by 3. You could say 150 times 2 is 300 divided by 3 is 100 or 150 divided by 3 is 50 times 2 is 100. Saying that either way is 'wrong' is incorrect.

  12. What does handsome have to do with it? This guy seemed to be good looking in his youth, and was in fact a sleazeball womanizer. This guy being an a-hole was fine, but the helping a AIDS denialist dictator...suddenly it's not such a net positive.

  13. Tbh, it doesn't take over actual creative tasks. It takes over the busywork in creative fields, but not the actual creative work in creative work. Anything that needs to drawn or designed for a utilitarian purpose, Ai can do. Like corporate logos, youtube thumbnails, etc. But work that requires artistic expression, no one serious would use an AI for that. Basically, AI does not threaten art itself, but it does threaten the livelihoods of contract artists. But technology has done that to every field throughout the years. In art itself, graphic design first threatened traditional artists. Then, a boom was experienced where graphic design meant artistic jobs were more abundant than ever, and now the cycle starts again.

  14. hmm? Published peer-reviewed journals should be available on the well known Journal sites as well as various online library databases. They are available, though might be hard to find if you don't know where to look.
