Could someone explain all this to a non-scientist?
The physics, astronomy, theoretical physics and this kind of thing catches my attention, but I do not understand it because I do not have the slightest idea of what gets to speak.

2.- https://www.quantamagazine.org/to-avoid-the-multiverse-physicists-propose-a-symmetry-of-scales-20140818
(I know it may not be easy work to explain it to someone who understands little about physics)

1. The universe expanded from a non-anything that might have expanded in other places to make other universes, maybe they're different if they're there at all?
2. Universes in every particle. Pure wankery.

Waste of trips but if the physics actually caught your attention you'd have your nose a in a book right now not romanticizing these concepts that are out of your league
I mean it only as motivation

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little Earthling? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the NASA Astronaut Corps, and I've been involved in numerous secret flights to the ISS, and I have over 300 confirmed EVAs. I am trained in orbital rendezvous and I'm the top pilot in the entire US space program. You are nothing to me but just another mission. I will perform the ejection burn with precision the likes of which has never been seen before off this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Air-to-Ground? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of engineers across the USA and your transponder frequency is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your flight status. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can repair the ISS in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in orbital operations, but I have access to the entire SpaceX fleet and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the planet, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking mic. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit propellant all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Hey Piggots,
My name is Buzz, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are homosexual, porcine, no-lifes who spend every second of their day multiplying large numbers in your moms basement. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any moonpussy? I mean, I guess it’s fun making fun of people because you're a brainlet, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to MIT opencourseware.
Don’t be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I’m pretty much perfect. I was captain of the Air Force, and starter on my astronaut team. What field of science do you research, other than “how to program a waifu with a realistic penis”? I also get straight A’s, and have a banging hot wife (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all piggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

I really enjoyed your interview with Buzz Killman
Have you read this book? I just started it.
Basically, the author thinks that we are close to learning everything we *can* learn through science. All the singularity bullshit, the string theory bullshit, and the multiverse bullshit is just unfalsifiable bullshit.
Makes me glad I'm not smart enough to be a physicist.

Yes google stripped BD of pattents and researchers and sold it's carcass. They probably did this for PR reasons.
Maybe it still has some value to investors (ie access to research data etc)

You are just strolling through your campuses' cyclotron lab when an unexpected d-brane resonance occurs with the RF driving frequency, forming a stable einstein-rosen bridge that tears a hole straight across the vacuum chamber - sucking your gf into a parallel universe.
What do you do ?
Keep in mind that although it is topologically trivial, it has a negative energy density, defies the schwarschild metric and has a gauss-bonnet term in its lagrangian

Why isn't CRISPR famous? Diseases will be rendered ineffective, crops will be perfect, and any parent will be able to create the master race. Will there be an attempt to suppress this technology for population control? I also keep hearing that perfecting human genetics is "scary" but there is no reasonable argument against it, only an emotional, morally arrogant smugness by the name of "ethics." To be against improving quality of life and human performance is to be anti-human.

I saw this interesting proposal in some website the other day: consciousness is a product of electrical impulses in the brain, mixed with needed nutrients and water.
In a tornado, there is electricity from lightening as well as water and minerals from the dirt (including biological matter such as cows that it sucks up) - is it possible that the open chaotic system in a tornado can give rise to consciousness as we know it? Possibly even classify them as a species?
It helps to explain why tornadoes avoid urban centers and roads, as well as attack only Republican states (as they drag down the environment with climate change denial - tornadoes are created more frequently because of rising temperatures).

if consciousness was made up of what you say it was, it would be rather easy to replicate it, wouldnt it?

Opinions on these Stein's analysis books? I just finished Real Analysis at school and am looking to *really* get into the field. The Fourier Analysis book seems very well-motivated so far (I'm only on Chapter 2, though)

Good content, but I hate how they're formatted. Took complex last semester, used that text.

His Fourier book is tolerable.

>>8972261
They aren't bad as a series, but each subject individually has been done better by other texts like rudin (baby, papa, grandpa), folland (real and fourier analysis), alfhors, needham, conway, and especially simon's new 5 volume set on analysis. I'm gonna keep shilling these books cause they're fantastic and you should read them.

Stephen Hawking has said it is theoretically possible to build a particle accelerator large enough to create a bubble of true vacuum that would expand at the speed of light in all directions ultimately unmaking the entire universe, but that such a device would have to be larger than the Earth.
I read another physicist saying that the same device could be used to create a new universe, likely in place of this one. Maybe it would even be possible to "jump" in as our original universe is being swallowed up. I have a feeling that this is what our civilization is building up to, that this is its purpose. And that even if it's ultimately impossible, we're still here to try to find out.

There's literally no evidence we live in a false vacuum and there have been sufficiently large energy bursts in the history of the universe to have already unmade itself if we did.

Pure sci-fi theoretical physics.

Hey /sci/. What do I do to get back into mathematics? The highest math classes I took were calc II and ODE's. I did fairly well but it's been a few years since I did them. I forgot a lot of essential shit and I don't even remember how to do some integrals. I also really want to get into linear algebra but would I ever be able to get into that on my own? Any tips or advice?
