Tbqh the only reason is probability.

Out of all the contestants I bet like 90% were men and because all of their achievements are comparable in greatness, they all could have won. It is about who gets lucky with the paper that makes the commitee cum the hardest.

Women only had a 10% chance and didn't win. Better luck rolling the dice next year.

Btw I am not trolling. This is literally the only reason.

I hope they know if they get their wish, it'll simply mean the end of university level education in South Africa, as it will no longer be financially viable. A more realistic goal would be to decrease tuition fees, simply removing them is a socialist pipe-dream.

I've been trying to understand what Hawking Radiation is, but every single explanation I have found either is an analogy that seems to just explain a different analogy or a jumble of math. I get that this isn't something that can be explained in layman's terms, but can someone give me a rough idea of it that makes sense without taking years of physics classes?

Empty space isn't really empty. Random pairs of particles pop into existence and then annihilate each other. When a pair of these particles comes into existence right at the border of a black holes event horizon the particle within the black hole can't escape it's gravity. The other particle is able to escape and the black hole thus loses energy.
>>
>>8408768
A virtual particle is a spontaneous generation of energy from the vacuum.
They don't exist long and usually occur in pairs.
Near the event horizon, the pair exists longer than normal, and there's a chance that half of the pair can escape the horizon.

Since its a virtual particle, it is theorized that it can escape the black hole even though it has mass.
>>
>>8408771
>>8408773
But then how does this cause the Black Hole to lose mass/energy? Are the particles formed from energy inside the event horizon? And shouldn't everything inside the event horizon be in the singularity?

Anyone here think this is terrible idea?

What's the biggest outburst you've seen a professor give? I've never seen an instructor in college yell but ironically when I was in elementary school our second grade teacher screamed really loud at the class because we were all fucking around and making a big mess. We were only about 8 years old. He got fired that day and the next day we had a new teacher. I've been thinking about what being a professor of calculus at a small city college is going to be like and I'm really set on a very clear and patient teaching style with the occasional joke.

How is it possible that a vibrating mess of atoms becomes conscious?

Personally I find the simplest explanation is that humans and other creatures are not really conscious, but merely emulate the behaviors a conscious thing would have.

then how do you explain our conscious inner life and subjective experience? also how do you explain qualia?
>>
>>8388180
>>8388160
... or more basically... wtf? premise is illogical. whether we have consciousness is not debatable. It is in fact, maybe the only damn thing that is not debatable, because you could not debate the issue without... yup... consciousness
>>
>>8388180
>then how do you explain our conscious inner life and subjective experience? also how do you explain qualia?
Mere illusions. People report these things since that's what conscious entities would do. But it's merely an act; a presentation.
So why do people emulate these behaviors?
Basically because being conscious would offer serious survival benefits, so evolution should have converged our behavior on that of a conscious entity. But, being atoms, we're fundamentally incapable of actually being conscious entities. But emulating conscious behaviors is sufficient to get the survival benefits, and is possible given the constraints of our form, thus this is what we converged on.

Because they failed calculus and blame it on the book by whining about how an introductory textbook for highschoolers isn't rigorous or abstract enough.

because they were the fedora tipper sitting in the back reading the spivak book and failing all the exams.
