Can anyone explain the solution to Loschmidt's paradox to me?
Also if the second law is a statistical law, is it possible that the entropy of our entire universe dips every now and then, and we can't even notice?
And after the universe reaches equilibrium, could entropy ever go down?
I'm presenting a seminar on it tomorrow
Please, I need answers

this shit is getting ridiculous. In highschool they had exclusive science programs just for girls. and then in college, it's mostly girls in all of my science courses. in fact in one course, out of 25 students i'm literally the only man. In another course there were like 3 guys out of 25 and they were gay. When is it enough? How do we stop this shit? I don't want my coworkers to be these woman poojitas and fat sheboons they smell and are actually retarded

I just found out I'm going to be a father.
Please provide for me all the data on vaccines, clamping, and other pitfalls of the modern era for optimizing health against profit driven hospitals.
I am looking to try and just get the 1985-1994 vaccine schedule for the kid (inactivated, no mRNA shit) so they don't have any trouble in my state going to school or other programs by requirement.
Wife and I got those shots and we turned out fine. Its 18 doses by age 6 (and starting at 2 months) but it seems spread out and tepid compared to the 80 they have going on now that starts at fucking birth.

I am graduating with a chemistry degree and I'm interested in going into the alcohol business. Or at least, making really, really good homebrew.
However, I don't know much about what chemists would test different alcohols for in the lab.
What sort of things do you look at when aiming to produce a quality beer, wine, sake, etc.? Especially interested in sake at the moment.
🧵 What’s the actual general opinion on race in the sciences?
Anonymous at Wed, 15 May 2024 16:48:02 UTC No. 16177168
Ok one side the far right who support race realism, they claim that science supports their cause. That race is proven by genetics and iq scores. They claim that if scientists were honest that they would categorize the different races into different sub species. And the ultimate claim for why race realism is not mainstream is that academics either lie about the truth or are too scared to tell the truth.
On the other hand you have those on the left wing or normal conservatives who believe that race is not meaningful. That genetics show overlap in most areas, that there are no “white” or “black” genes. And that any classification to categorize people based on race would be arbitrary. Where the line could be drawn could be anywhere and even then it wouldn’t make sense. And then the iq test evidence is disputed that it’s due to genetics but that education and experience influences much of the test scores. Or that iq tests are not a meaningful way of measuring intelligence. It is not like a blood test that is always able to give you the data you need. The iq test is claimed to not be accurate if an iq test has been taken before. As well, early race realists in bemoaning any attempts to close the white ball iq gap had measured the average black iq at around 60 or 70. But in Charles Murray’s latest book the black average iq he has in 90.

Flood of Fake Science Forces Multiple Journal Closures
Wiley to shutter 19 more journals, some tainted by fraud
Fake studies have flooded the publishers of top scientific journals, leading to thousands of retractions and millions of dollars in lost revenue. The biggest hit has come to Wiley, a 217-year-old publisher based in Hoboken, N.J., which Tuesday announced that it was closing 19 journals, some of which were infected by large-scale research fraud. In the past two years, Wiley has retracted more than 11,300 papers that appeared compromised, according to a spokesperson, and closed four journals. It isn't alone: At least two other publishers have retracted hundreds of suspect papers each. Several others have pulled smaller clusters of bad papers.
Although this large-scale fraud represents a small percentage of submissions to journals, it threatens the legitimacy of the nearly $30 billion academic publishing industry and the credibility of science as a whole. The discovery of nearly 900 fraudulent papers in 2022 at IOP Publishing, a physical sciences publisher, was a turning point for the nonprofit. "That really crystallized for us, everybody internally, everybody involved with the business," said Kim Eggleton, head of peer review and research integrity at the publisher. "This is a real threat." The sources of the fake science are "paper mills" -- businesses or individuals that, for a price, will list a scientist as an author of a wholly or partially fabricated paper. The mill then submits the work, generally avoiding the most prestigious journals in favor of publications such as one-off special editions that might not undergo as thorough a review and where they have a better chance of getting bogus work published.

Obviously having cancer is bad (if it's you), but as we're all very intelligent here I think it's time for us to look at the positive aspects of peak cancer treatment spending. It's good for the economy! Huge demand and getting money out of savings accounts and into the free market.

Just to be clear to anyone considering this book who may be reading this board presently or in the future when the archive gets indexed; this book is a complete meme.
I like the idea of an introductory, proof flirting method of teaching elementary and highschool math that isn't purely plug and chug, but this book is not that.
The examples are horrendously formatted and many terms aren't defined or defined much later.

Lyme disease was documented hundreds of years ago. But it wasn't deadly until recently. In the 50's Lyme disease was researched as a bioweapon during the Cold War. Gain-of-function research was conducted on it, but a lab leak made it propagate into what we know of it today.
Is there any truth to this?

I'm trying to figure out how much Voltage I would need to attach to a wire to burn through a very thin piece of plastic that's hanging from said wire.
The plastic wire melts at 90°C. Anyway, the way I would do it is:
Solve for Q where m is the mass of the wire, c is the specific heat capacity of the plastic and deltaT is the change in temperature needed.
Q=mcΔT
Then apply Joules Law and Solve for I
Q = I2 * R * t
Once you got your Current you can infer the Voltage.
