Now you're both communicating badly anyway so have something you should have been apologising for. Thankfully you've already taken care of that.

DontMockMySmock posted:Oh no, you have nothing to apologize for! To clarify, I was not accusing you of communicating badly, I was accusing the videos you've seen/articles you've read of communicating badly. Thanks! I've quoted several articles, though. Got any specifics? I have no dog in the white hole hunt, just want to know more, and would like for the rest of us to too.

I'm going to use an analogy here - consider a rigid wheel standing on a flat road. How much pressure does it exert on the road? The contact area between them is zero - a line of zero width - so the pressure, being the force divided by the area, is ... infinite? In both this case, and the gravitational singularity case, the resolution is obvious once we remember that our model is a simplified version of reality - we take a look at those simplifications and recognise that they no longer apply. We construct a better model. And part of that process is searching for evidence that might provide insight into what's really going on. In the wheel example, we might look closer at the wheel-road interface to see how each of them deforms and provides a larger contact area. Any description of "white holes", that's being presented to people that don't already have an appreciation for the limits of our current understanding, should come with an acknowledgement that what our theories predict here is almost certainly wrong, that this is one area where our theory breaks down and produces total nonsense. The reason it's so interesting is because our current theory breaks down there! Knowing what really happens in that situation is the best way to identify what simplifications our theory implicitly makes, and come closer to the underlying truth. Presenting what our current, flawed, theory predicts as though it is the truth is misleading.

That's why I like Sabine Hossenfelder; she likes to correct a lot of assumptions that make people believe these things are "possible".

It's going to be pretty funny when we create an AI that can solve these cosmic mysteries, but can't explain to our primate brains. Then is like, "Ugh, nevermind" and blasts off in to the 89th dimension, where planets are made of pizza

I don't think anyone is presenting anything as unmitigated truth, but instead what could be, which is kind of what unmitigated questioning science is all about. Thanks for the analogy, but now print it it out and give it to your friends at the bar, or your sister, or the dude on the street. Ask them what it means. Do it again in 1915 or so with black holes. Go shake Einstein's hand and tell him about quantum entanglement. Give him only the math. Even then, spooky action at a distance he says. The rest of us wouldn't mind some explanations in the mean time. And so happens pop sci.  https://m.imgur.com/gallery/GiuyWTj

Hopefully this hasnt already been posted in the thread but im always in awe that the USS Selfridge was hit by not one, but two Japanese torpedoes and survived. That 5" gunmount hanging on for dear life is actually the second one from the front of the ship, the first was a total goner. The bridge area was apparently showered with projectiles from this second mount. Diagram of how much of the ship was completely destroyed:

That's a really nice technical drawing there. In these days of easy graphics programs, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that just a generation or two ago, these were done by hand.

-Zydeco- posted:Not really normal thread content, but this machine is amazing Holy poo poo, I ran one of those when I was like 18-19 years old. It was incredibly ancient even back then in 1985-86, we just used it to knock down large pieces of steel to sizes close to what we needed, then the pieces would go to the precision mills and CNC’s. It was one size smaller than that, I believe it had a 6’ table, but otherwise it looked and worked identical. It was a champion chipthrower, I wore a leather welding coat to keep from being covered with tiny burns at the end of the shift. Sucked in the summer. My dad showed me how to use it - I guess he was taught to run one in his apprenticeship in 1966, and said it was considered old-school even then. I liked running it because it was in a back room all by itself because it threw chips everywhere, and I could play my obnoxious punk/metal music as loud as I wanted. Sorry to bore everybody, but holy poo poo does that Cincinnati bring back memories.

Regarding astrophysics chat, I saw a video recently that I can't find anymore. It was a bit lengthy. Basically the narrator took some liberty to suspend disbelief and let us travel in a ship capable of reaching lightspeed. He talked about all the time that would pass on earth the faster you travel. How after a certain time, earth would be unrecognizable if you were to return. Eventually you reach a speed (or distance) where its impossible to even go home because the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light. In fact, you reach a point to where the universe is expanding faster than light in all directions relative to you, so you are, in fact, forever isolated from everything else in the entire universe. I'm probably butchering the explanation, but this video was badass, depressing, and awe inspiring all at once. Wish I could find it again.
