Why are there no magnetic monopoles? is there. Is there a physical explanation or is it just a fundamental property?
>>16169778More like a lot of perpetual motiontards would like them to exist. But they can't, because that's literally not what magnets are. See >>16166781
>>16169794i use magnetic charge, magnetic current, and magnetic dipoles extensively in advanced electromagneticsthere is nothing inconsistent in maxwell's equations with modeling those thingsthey just don't appear to exist from observational dataas far as we know, all magnetic phenomena are attributed to electric currents
>>16169805>all magnetic phenomena are attributed to electric currentsSo the spin of an electron is an electric current?
>>16166758>Wouldnt it make more sense if the magnetic and electric field behaved the same?Not necessarily - remember that the magnetic part of an electromagnetic field (as far as we currently understand it) is an exclusively relativistic phenomenon, and that part of the interaction is only present if there is some relative motion involved in whatever is generating the field and whatever is interacting with the field, whereas the electric part of the dynamics still exist whether there is relative motion or not. It's not necessarily unsurprising, then, that they don't follow *quite* the same behavior.
>>16169896i thought of quantum magnetic dipole moments 2 seconds after submitting fuck facepeople tried in vain for years to describe that shit classically as an electric current, with varying success

>>16169766I said nitrogen not carbon dioxide
>>16169766It's really a misinterpretation of the Gaia Hypothesis. Earth has all sorts of feedback loops, and life on Earth has effectively terraformed the planet over billions of years to its own liking; and while Human pollution is disruptive, the idea that those same feedback loops can't manage or adjust is absurd.
>>16169774absurd based on what ?In addition to that it is clear to everyone that antrophogenic emissions will not be the end of life on planet earth, no one sane person claims that. But it can very well be the source of unprecedented hardship for or the cause of the demise of the human species. Not more not less. Earth and life on earth will almost certainly regain an equilibrium again.
>>16169768Trees don't emit CO2, they absorb it. Trees emit NO2
How can you believe in evolution when it's only a theory (a guess)?
>>16168577>What you said doesn't really contradict my interpretationYou said that the paper showed that there was a difference of 154 genes between humans and chimps, that is not at all what the paper said. 154 genes being positively selected for in humans has no bearing on the number of genes that differ between humans and chimps. Saying that shows you did not understand the findings of the paper at all. For all you know the 154 human PSGs and 233 chimp PSGs could have a large amount of overlap in which genes were positively selected for. A gene being positively selected in humans does not mean it wasn’t also positively selected in chimps.>Pointing to one gene isn't a paper showing just a handful of genes could be entirely responsible. The science indicates the opposite.Which science indicates the opposite? As said before the level of gene expression is often more important than the type of gene itself when you’re talking about something as closely related as a human and chimp. As for that one gene, if you read the paper you would have seen that it plays a pretty major role in the differential development between the brains of humans and apes
>>16168817I didn't actually say that though to my recollection, that's not how I understood the paper. My argument is about the genes showing positive selection since we are said to have diverged.You still aren't showing with any research one or some fraction of 154 could do it. The science that indicates the opposite is the GWAS studies I referred to, indicating far more genes contribute to intelligence. This is besides their expression.
>>16168833>I didn't actually say that though to my recollectionThen your recollection must be pretty badSee >>16149695>studies put the number of positively selected mutations separating us from chimps at about 250You can’t just act like that’s not what you were saying now that you’ve realised that the paper did not find what you thought it was>You still aren't showing with any research one or some fraction of 154 could do it>”manipulation of ZEB2 expression and its downstream signaling is able to force a human-like phenotype in the ape context and vice versa. Thus, our data suggest that in humans, a delayed onset of ZEB2 expression extends the NE stage, contributing to human-specific neocortical expansion”Did you miss this>The science that indicates the opposite is the GWAS studies I referred to, indicating far more genes contribute to intelligenceThen why are you going on about there apparently only being 20-40 genes separating the human brain from chimps
>>16169733>Then your recollection must be pretty badOh, my bad, my memory is indeed terrible.>Did you miss this"Human like phenotype" is very vague. Does it mean in terms raw neocortical volume? That doesn't yet add automatically up to the human mind unless they give further details.>Then why are you going on about there apparently only being 20-40 genes separating the human brain from chimpsI'm going on about it because clearly one paper is wrong, and it seems to be the one showing positive selection. Mental evolution is a hole in the evolutionary biology of human origins.
>>16169831>”Human like phenotype" is very vague. Does it mean in terms raw neocortical volume?Maybe you should read the paper and find out>That doesn't yet add automatically up to the human mindIt doesn’t need to. It just shows that even a single gene can have a major impact on brain development, something you seem to think is impossible>I'm going on about it because clearly one paper is wrongIt’s not wrong, it’s just not saying what you thought it was because you just misinterpreted the results. Again the paper said absolutely nothing about the number of differences between the genes they found in humans vs chimps, that is something you mistakenly suggested>Mental evolution is a hole in the evolutionary biology of human origins.You are still yet to demonstrate why. First you were trying to say that it couldn’t have happened because there are two few differences in the number of genes responsible for brain development between humans and chimps. Now you seem to be trying to say that the number of genes that differ between the two are much greater, but in that case why do you think that the human brain couldn’t have evolved if there’s a big difference in the number of genes that differ? You can’t seem to decide what you’re actually trying to say
Dr. Birx now says that covid vaccines are dangerous and can kill you, she also says that they were never recommended except for people in high risk groups such as the very old and ppl with AIDS.

With few exceptions academia wholeheartedly refuses to talk about this subject and racial supremacists aren't exactly objective. Obviously we can be diverse in physical size and appearance. I'm more interested in IQ and temperament which have been proven to be at least partly influenced by genes.
>>16166906yeah, that lie was invented to justify the out of africa meme, since the out of africa meme as subsequently been debunked, that means the bottleneck population meme must also be false
>>16168564It's known, and measured. Out of Africa comes from the bottleneck not being taken into account (so that it seems tgere were multiple species, one of them coming out of Africa, instead of only one.)
>>16145668>Different humans can still make kids, so that makes them belong to same species.No it doesn't. If that were true then the majority of species aren't really different species, but that is an impossible to argument to make since your decrees are less authoritative than accepted, standardised taxonomy. Furthermore, it is quite hard to tell if they can interbreed without testing it. It is known that rather distant species can interbreed and the offspring is fertile.
>>16168896Not to jump into this argument but you're sorta both wrong.Their standard for what makes a species was overly general. Look no further than donkeys and horses producing mules for the classic example. However, they weren't far off in that organisms which can produce offspring without reductions in fertility across successive generations ARE the same species. This has been an accepted standard for many species with limited irregularities like species complexes.Your mistake was in not realizing there ARE in fact a bunch of redundant species due to old standards relying on morphology. Taxonomy and cladistics are constantly undergoing refinement due to such mistakes.As for not knowing without testing, for a lot of species there's tons of real world data on hybrids found in the wild, so you'd at least be able to assume species complexes. And varying numbers of chromosomes will be a strong indicator speciation has occurred or at the least is occurring.
>>16168569>It's known, and measured.no it isn't, you've never made those measurements yourself, you only 'know" about them because you saw them on the bill nye tv show and you only believe in that ridiculous contrived theory because you're a gullible moron with zero critical thinking ability
>Physics undergrad 1 semester away from graduation > Can only manage to get 2 recommendation letters because I skipped most classes and didn't network>Unfocused electives ranging from nuclear fusion to complex systems>Shit at quantum mechanics>Only good at thermo and relativity >Try to save academic hopes and dreams by enrolling in summer school to make up for lost time>Don't know how to code for shitIst es over? I didn't even take any electives on high energy physics so perhaps I should just face it and become a neet, I'd rather be dead than become an experimentalist at this point (or go solid state physics).Hopefully summer school gives me an in, something that is easy to get into knowing thermo and some GR.
>>16168339sure do, but I do wonder what kind of script counts instances of "I" and automates a response. Or are you really that bored and reply with that to most posts that do that?
>>16168313You have very slim chances of making it as a career physicist, unless you go to some new university in the third world where they have no local talent to recruit for. Say, in some chinese province.Solid state is nice tho, as long as its focused on microchips. Get the background that would land you a job at ASML
Go do a M.Sc. in Europe. I assume you are American?
>>16169372>Very slim chancesI had hoped I was just exaggerating my hopelessness. Maybe I could still do cosmology? If I use my last two electives to prioritize the two things I'm already good at then perhaps not all hope is lost.>Get you a background that would land you a job at ASMLThe main thing going for me is knowing statistical mechanics beyond what's expected for an undergrad, so even if I'm shit at quantum mechanics, if God/ a coworker/ boss gives me the energy level distribution then I can work out most macroscopic quantities.I hope that's good enough for solid state stuff, like graphene. Or maybe even material science, like glass stuffs.I also enrolled in a research project on quantum optics (which masterfully combines two of the things I'm not known for being good at), so my qmech knowledge will get better, I hope.>>16169396I'm mexican and study at UNAM, which is pretty okay I think (the 3+1 GR formalism guy graduated from here). I can't do an M.Sc in europe, but I could get in via any exchange program in grad school, is that good enough?

I want to get nuclearenergypilled. What are some good books about nuclear energy? Im mostly interested in the logistics behind it and how feasible it would be to carry out a nuclear trnsition instead of a wind/solar one. Im also fascinated by the prospect of nuclear powered cargo ships and other new developments in nuclear power.
>>16168657Wind is overpriced trash. Massive photovoltaic farms are a waste of resources. Simple as.

The best thing about nuclear energy is that building nuclear plants costs so much that you can convince people to keep using fossil fuels instead of switching to renewable energy while they wait forever for the market to build nuclear power plants.
