🧵 Physics forums

Are there any good physics discussion boards where the people who post actually know what's going on beyond undergrad?
Reddit is just schizo-posting and highschoolers/undergrads asking (often daunting) for advice
/sci/ is just schizo-posting an something-pilled posts by people without backgrounds in science trying to prove a post (atleast the people on /g/ actually talk about tech)
It's frustrating to have to filter through all the nonsense to find people who actually know what's going on, I'm hoping someone who does and can point me in the right direction sees this

Watch the earlier part of this video. The prominent theist in the 13th century is making ontological argument in favor of existence of god. See how it is similar to big bang theory.
In fact the more scary thing is that the kind of discussions 7th they had centuries ago is the same as the discussions we have today. science is prominent today but logically nothing has really progressed

🧵 Why are video games so addicting and can they really be replaced?
Anonymous at Sat, 27 Apr 2024 23:00:01 UTC No. 16149125
I think they are a great pain relieving method because they make you forget about everything else, even more so than watching videos/TV because you're somehow active in them even if it's a very slow paced strategy game but your concentration is destroyed for anything else. I have not found a better replacement to them and am wondering if there's really an alternative? This is purely scientific thread because it focuses on the way our brain works and probably the dopamine reward system that gets abused by video games. You can't just force someone with actually a damaged brain to just study and study, they will always relapse to video games and they wouldn't be able to play them sparingly because that's the only way the brain can manage to relieve the stress and perhaps the overwhelming amount of commands or resources to be focused.

🧵 Reasonable reasons to not do stuff just because you can

the 3 limitations are uncertainty, volatility or lack of sane reward or safety for work done or asset acquired, and chaos or competition or understood and known evils and problems
there isn't a good word because the distinctions are pretty complicated between the three still pretty unique tiers of limitations
basically this is why da Jews are actually kind of based and redpilled and not just malicious because whatever for no good reason and christianity is kind of like building towers instead of studying earthquakes and stuff first
generally eastern cultures don't do stuff just because they could and there are like 3 archetypes of the dumb white guys that have no idea wtf they're doing and lots of names for people who filled those roles
basically this is post enlightenment hellenism and it should be taught alongside english grammer in like 6th grade then they let people choose to stop going to school after that

🧵 Failure modes of nuclear reactors.
Anonymous at Sat, 27 Apr 2024 21:28:17 UTC No. 16149004
Safety systems aren't designed against deliberate sabotage by the entire operating staff. So lets assume: a) The staff at a modern nuclear power plant want to create a catastrophe on purpose. b) They have unlimited time, access, and the means to demolish the containment structure.
What's the worst they could realistically do?
🧵 Black hole structure
Tk at Sat, 27 Apr 2024 20:28:41 UTC No. 16148934
I've just red on the Internet that a black hole's mass is concentrated in a point with no volume and infinite density.
It was then stated that the appearent black volume around it is the part past the singularity where light cant escape (it kinda makes sense)
What doesn't make sense to me is how matter gets so compressed that it loses its spacial dimension.
Before reading this i thought that a black hole was just made of something like atoms put side by side by forces stronger than the repulsions between different atoms's electrons, but following this idea the black hole should have a small but surely existent volume.
So why does matter lose its spacial dimensions?

Are "nerds" not actually high IQ but rather just people who spend a high amount of time gaining knowledge in an attempt to compensate for their genetic inferiority? And then when they create technology it isn't usually for the betterment of mankind but a reflection of their bitter damaged egos? Is intelligence just an illusion and ultimately useless? Aren't all those people in Africa more evolutionarily advanced because they are able to reproduce more?

How can anybody actually enjoy math? I really don't get it. I tried watching the calculus series on the 3blue1brown youtube channel and I'm already bored out of my fucking mind by the 3rd video.

🧵 Sunglasses, UV Light Typing, Testing, and Selectively Blocking Materials
Anonymous at Sat, 27 Apr 2024 17:31:44 UTC No. 16148686
I want to buy some test cards to verify the capacity for sunglasses to block UVA, UVB, and UVC radiation. When I look online for test cards which have designated testing zones for each of these types of radiation, I find that I can only find cards which have testing zones for UVA and UVC (as pictured), and other, more expensive UVB-specific test cards.
What I want to know is whether it is practically possible for sunglasses which block UVA light to fail to block UVB light. As far as I can tell, the materials which typically are said to have this property are metallic pigments that are used in sunblock.
What methods do sunglass manufacturers use to block UV light, and how likely do you believe it is, given these methods, that sunglasses bought online might have the ability to block UVA but not UVB?
