The popular retelling of how Einstein created Special Relativity to "Resolve the contradictions of Michelson-Morly experiments" is very reductive to the history of the question. Th…

Around 2018 I got obsessed with slings - I've made a couple from paracord and was practicing almost every day. After about a year I only managed to consistently launch stones in th…

“Oh it’s about ME now?!..”

Total amount of reactor*years so far is roughly 20000. 3 core meltdowns amounts for 0.015% per reactor per year.

0. There's money laundering.

It is sort of like saying that crypto is less money-laundery than banks because more money gets laundered through banks than through crypto.

Here’s an exercise. Go to Wikipedia for “Money Laundering” -> “Notable cases” and sum the amounts laundered by all famous banks for the last 10 or 5 years. Then try to say again th…

Yes

Yes it can. https://arxiv.org/abs/1410.7438

Cold dark matter made of weakly interacting massive particles can.

Good. Now explain the Bullet Cluster.

Really weird post and discussion around it. The "family" is not some abstract entity / offender's property. The "family" is made of other humans. "Not punishing people that didn't …

Similar stuff by this guy already posted here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32367085 It is a crackpot pseudoscience.

Sampling temperature.

We trade with bees though.

I've long noticed that this idea - that scientists just "jumped to conclusion" that there must be some dark matter to resolve some observational inconsistencies - is very prevalent…

Couldn’t it be that people become more aware of mental health problems because of social media?

Euclid’s proof in form of a poem. In style of Shakespeare.

I've already quite a long time ago noticed that in particle physics we usually do stuff that quantum-computing people will call an "entaglement". We just don't phrase it like that,…

There’s also earlier strict mathematical study of renormalisation procedure by Bogolubov and Parasyuk. QFT Green functions are distributions and their product is ill-defined, thus …

> But who is to decide which are pseudo problems, and which are not? Scientific community. Via a process of peer-reviewed publications. Not via blog posts and Youtube videos.

"The Principles of Deep Learning" paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.10165 has a rather rigorous (based on Quantum Field Theory (QFT) mathematical apparatus) analysis of modern deep …
