We do have a pretty substansive evidence that dark matter exists: from the cosmic background radiation, gravitational lensing, galaxy formation simulations, galaxy rotation curves,…

You might like Gattaca if you haven't seen it.

That's purely by convention. It's just that we fist discovered electrons and protons and quarks with their fractional charges came in much later.

How is it fair? You do give the same amount to everyone, but you do not take the same from everyone - you have to take more from those who chose to work. Hence the unfair part.

I'll just paste a comment I had on a different thread because it answers your question as well. You are not to blame for not understanding this, it's just that the analogy for the …

You are not to blame for not understanding this, it's just that the analogy for the electric dipole moment coming from a non-spherical 'shape' of the electron is extremely bad. Mor…

I cannot find the citation right now, but the p and n EDMs are expected to be close to each other ~1e-32 e.cm. One part is that they are uud and udd and the other thing to consider…

I'm working on the search for the EDM of the muon. Essentially it's much harder to search for the proton EDM than the neutron EDM. All EDM searches rely on a strong electric field …

Particle physicist here (relatively new to the field). I mostly do not understand the problem of Dr. Hossenfelder and others like her. One thing I often see and it seems reiterated…

Its the momentum that kills you p=mV, not the kinetic energy. So I would guess that mass ia much more important.

That's the issue exactly. Many things can go wrong if you place a lot of radioactive material on top of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen tanks.

I have the same problem. I have recently moved to Switzerland and I am so grateful for the culture here. Noise is not tolerated, as it should be.

Yup, definitely second that. With that change I can definitely imagine this as a user option in the settings. Reading is so much easier. (also wanted to see my avatar)

Some healthy fraction of c seems to be possible with current technology also. If you consider 3% healthy that is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propuls...

I am a physicist by trade, but recently I started drawing on my Samsung tablet. I'm really enjoying it. For other folks that are doing digital drawing I can recommend that you prin…

Abstract: Understanding the mortality impact of COVID-19 requires not only counting the dead, but analyzing how premature the deaths are. We calculate years of life lost (YLL) acro…

I have tried it on a RPi3 and it is painfully slow. I would not recommend this to anyone.

It is more related to the needed strength of the magnets to keep the particles on track and also the synchrotron radiation. The first issue is that the lower the radius of the circ…

That seems pretty great, but I always have the problem of creating the ASCII art in the first place. Is there a tool to help with that?
