I'm pretty sure caterpillars can't get that big, due to the strength of chitin (their exoskeleton) and their internal pressure.

Basically, you can show that giant insects are at least one...

That makes sense. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I see the comparisons with irl monies and the bare bones fact that crypto is simply not all that different from irl monies is better understood by me.

I still don't see it as...

So long as people are investing in crypto with the actual long-term plan to convert that crypto back into real world monies, I can't really take the value seriously. As long as the value of crypto...

You were simply exchanging mass and energy as though there's no conversion factor between them, is all.

You said, "I used the term "Planck mass" because I (probably naively) assumed that was one...

The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy.

A photon with a wavelength of the Planck Length would have energy of the Planck Energy - ~2 GJ

There is no upper bound on the energy a photon...

Is tourism the only thing they do for the UK?

I guess I just assumed they'd be commissioning buildings - building hospitals or theaters or something. Maybe some other random shit that may or may...

Only in bound systems, but the BH is a bound system.

I'm just pointing out that energy is not always quantized. It's the boundary conditions that create quantization of energy and other things.

Makes me think somewhere in history, someone's gun jammed and so there was 1 fewer shot in the salute, and yada yada yada.
Something trivial that was just a meme, but eventually no one remembered...

Oh... well ... why don't you try cutting the squatters off? or even charging them rent?

It's 2021 after all.


Unless... what does your $100 million a year buy you?

Maybe I'm being too...

A Planck mass (assuming h-bar and not h is used as Planck's constant - an arbitrary choice), is 22 micrograms. Not that small, on a particle scale. I mean, unlike the Planck length, which happens...

IDK... we're talking about the biggest egos in the world. I find it difficult to imagine that particular group of people is just a bunch of sheep following some hidden power cabal and none of them...

I thought the British royals pay out the ass to the British gov't and people. I mean... it's typical to think of a class of royals to be mooching off the taxation of its people to support a lavish...

41 gun salute? Is that a thing? I've heard of a 21 gun salute (which is really a 7 gun salute 3 times), but I do not know the symbolic meaning of 21, so ... sure why not 41? But do all 41 guns...

I mean... be an experimentalist and break it down.

Take your coat out and shake it, then put it back in the closet. See if dog comes.

If yes -> hypothesize this is the trigger for dog to come...

I'd lean toward hearing. Predators tend to have excellent hearing.

Dogs smell much better than humans, but the "speed of smell" is a complicated matter of fluid dynamics, and I'm hard pressed to...

broken link?

The weak interaction is the only hypothesis I know of that uses currently known physics to explain why there is an abundance of matter and not anti-matter in the universe. Basically, as bad-ass as...

Here's an article by Fermilab - much less dumbed down, but still dumbed down.

What is the muon discovery?

It's that there's been an experiment running at multiple locations to test a vibrational (rotational?) movement of muons in a magnetic field (I think). The Standard...

OK, so this is a couple years old, but I only just came across it. It's blowing my mind.

At first, I was like... that technique is off the charts...

Heh. I was half-listening I guess. Oops. Pretty shameful to quote so badly out of context. Feels bad, man.


No, not gone. Just ... IDK ... feeling like sometimes I'm my dumbest self on FTR. ...

"In the short-term, the long-term impact is not good"

Sheesh.

I'm pretty much the same as spoon, but I do need some mixed environments and social stimulus to maintain sanity, and as much as I like to stay at home and mess about on my computer, I do need a...

Some humans are innately egalitarian, and other humans are innately authoritarian.

Ignoring either group is not going to work in the long run.

There will always be charismatic people who excel...
