🧵 Science has a problem
Stop guessing start learning at Thu, 31 Oct 2024 02:34:38 UTC No. 16456556
Scrolling through random threads here and reading popular science publications and mainstream science. I conclude science has a problem.
What Is this problem?
Most new scientific theories are utterly useless.
Blackholes, particle physics, astrophysics. Fusion, And quantum mechanics/computers Aren't profitable and a waste of time.
Like ok black holes exist, now what?
Like what do we do with this information?
The return on investment seems nill. You invest into something hoping for a return.
Techno and scientific optimist worship these theories as scientific progress.
But there is no progress science these days always overpromises and never delivers

The solution is to ignore shekels and not do things for “return on investment” for mr shekelberg

Look it's this tard again. Point of science is that you discover everything you can, and then in the future some of it could be practical. Greeks invented steam powered machines and didn't use them as anything but a novelty at the time for example.

So ok Mr genius what can we do with black holes?

No they aren’t. You just don’t have the technical understanding or the exposure to look at the hyper specific papers which drive normal science and are the most directly “useful” products of research.
In other words, you gets your news from 4chud and twitter like the frogposting retard you are. You don’t see the random papers on the advances in perovskites in thin film solar cells, or in the metallurgy of high end alloys, or in the computation of protein structures. Even if the progress in those areas is great, they don’t get clicks and you wouldn’t understand the significance of them anyways.

The problem is that science is just another religion but you're incapable of grasping that. So called "peer reviewed papers" are nothing but your holy scriptures, my point is that your religion (science) is deeply flawed when compared to mine

our modern world is based on knowlage, we first need a understanding of the science, than we can build the tecnology and than we can turn a profit.
gps creates a lot of wealth but we could not have build it without a fundermental understanding of orbits and gravaty,understanding these concepts will lead you to understanding black holes as we do.
physics is integral to our modern life, think computer chips, mrt any wireless communications.
i other words: to contoll the world you need to understand it, there is much more usefull stuff to understand and understanding is the first step in makeing a profit later

the nations that do the most research are the richest nations too. you won't earn much with 100 year old tex and science

This is easy to say when it's not your money. Would you want YOUR money being wasted on useless non profitable ventures.
The us govetnment spends billions on unprofitable scientific research. Including blackholes. A conspiracy theorist could argue someone is scamming the government.

It is my money dipshit what do you think taxes are? We don't know if a field of study is useful until we study it and there are plenty of theoretical sciences that became applied then became profitable. You'd know this if you weren't a retarded frogposter

If you cannot profit from black holes
use black scholes instead..

>lists fusion and quantum computers as examples
Fusion would literally everything you know so much cheaper to produce and greatly boost your living standards.
Quantum computers can perform ridiculously long calculations, like centuries, in just a couple of minutes. Black holes are kinda overrated, but the other stuff has so many applications.

Proof these machines work?
Quantum and fusion?
Or is it more techno optimism overpromising and underdelivering.

Both work.
Fusion reactors don't produce notable net positive energy yet.
Quantum computers however are increasing in Qbit capacity rapidly, and may very soon have a huge impact not only for constructive purposes, but also in break traditional non-quantum resistant encryption. (This could (and likely will) actually be really really bad for cyber security).

I don't think OP is arguing that "you can't bake a cake without cracking a few eggs". Obviously not every research project is going to be a miraculous paradigm shifting breakthrough, there might be some inconclusive results and dead ends.
I think OP is hinting at the alarming amount of projects that are designed in bad faith that only appear to be ""scientific"" using 'highly technical jargon' purely as a cash grab.
And it's a tough battle to fight, because the "peer reviewers" of these pseudoscientific projects place each other in positions of scientific authority, so they corroborate as a sort of 'cabal' which allows them to confirm this scam-consensus in perpetuity.
It's draining resources that could be used for groups that could use the finances for 'legitimate' science at best, and it's creating false data that is completely misleading scientific research at worst.

no scientists were involved in the invention of the computer, punchcard computing was a creation of the Lyonnaise weaving industry which is solidly in the arts category. coded electronic data transmission was made by Samuel Morse who was a portrait artist.
its cringe how scientists need to dishonestly claim credit for others' achievements, do they have no achievements or their own to brag about?
