It appears that if a God exists it is a disinterested sperglord who cares nothing for the suffering of it's people. A disinterested sperglord who cares nothing for the creation of its simulation is precisely the person who would program a simulation. Therefore we are living inside of a simulation

g0lbez posted:My definition of pronounced is based off the conventional definition of spin (which apparently is incorrect) in which a proton may spin a little bit in some direction and the photon bombarbment makes it like... spin faster. From what I'm reading though particles don't spin in the conventional sense which is part of why I love physics so much because scientists always have to use dumbed down incorrect terms in a vein attempt to convey the ridiculous sounding information they're trying to communicate. I mean what's the spin of a square aka a circle spinning at infinite velocity? It could go left or right. It's not like it has a bias as a proton. And the electron cloud is a sphere with infinite resolution so you never hit it dead center, ever. No matter what particle or force you hit it with.

If this cool poo poo is applied, to anything, what can we expect to see? Warp drives or something cool like that, or is it more like nuclear reactors that are .02% more efficient.

The Heisenberg compensator was a component of the transporter system. The compensator worked around the problems caused by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, allowing the transporter sensors to compensate for their inability to determine both the position and momentum of the target particles to the same degree of accuracy. This ensured the matter stream remained coherent during transport, and no data was lost.

Koyaanisgoatse posted:yeah "spin" doesn't mean "how fast a particle is rotating around an axis" when it comes to subatomic particles. spin is something that exists by virtue of relativity and should be understood on its own terms without analogy to classical mechanics Although to clarify, while spin is genuinely an innate property of subatomic particles, it really does represent something analogue to classical angular momentum. A good example is the back-bending phenomenon in highly excited nuclear states (such as Dysprosium 156), where an increase in angular momentum breaks the spin pairing interaction between nucleons near the Fermi level, resulting in a characteristic "back-bending" of the plot of rotational frequency against angular momentum. This is only explicable as a consequence of the classical Coriolis force, so while spin definitely can't be envisaged as truly analogous to classical angular momentum, it is certainly closely related. Also ClamdestineBoyster's poo poo is weak, I get crazier emails on a regular basis. I'll post a few here if there's any demand.

I kind of miss the "iron sun" and "electric universe" "theory" stuff I used to get spammed with.

The gradient operator operates on a scalar field and returns a vectorr field. The divergence operator operates on a vector field and returns a scalar field. The rotation operator operates on two vectors fields and returns another vector field. Well, there you have it, that's all I know about theoretical physics. Take it or leave it.

I just think spin is irrelevant if you're looking for a smaller piece than the maximal waveform of light aka a proton. It has no application in real physics. See if light is just a collapsing square azimuth extending to infinity with infinite elasticity, then the rhombus reaches a point where it's vertices can be said to contain exactly the same information if mirrored on an axis of symmetry. A wavelength of heat where a null region exists. So a rhombus pitches one way or another, collapses to a near straight line, and rotates all the way around ad naseum around an evaporating event horizon that is tuning itself to gamma and in turn emits light and radio because it's oscillating through those frequencies as the width of the null axis collapses to a point in DISTANT space, NOT smaller space.

It still amazes me how easily you can tell whether a crackpot knows what the words they are using mean. Like yes, those are all scientific terms, but the way you put them together doesn't mean anything.

At the same time it's pretty impressive CB has been posting in random gbs physics/cosmology threads in that exact manner for at least a couple years. Makes me wonder if it's actually a joke or what. CB please explain what an evaporating event horizon is thanks

The best cosmology book is 'from eternity to here' which is an exploration of time as a phenomena, ultimately concluding that time is a consequence of thermodynamics.

Sometimes I have this existential angst that due to our space activities we're going to gently caress up the orbit of the planet somehow but that would require so many pass bys and gravity assists that the sun would have probably blown up long before that would even be a thing.
