What does that word actually mean? Is there any coherent explanation of this concept or is it just a kind of nebulous stand-in that we use to hold certain concepts that are required for our understanding of modern physics?

Science bros, I have a question for you, what would happen if you annihilated a black hole with an equal mass of anti-matter?

🧵 Paleontology thread

Hey there, shall we get a paleontology Q&A thread going?
I myself am not a paleontologist yet, I'm actually about to start my masters in paleontology in the fall, but I have a degree in geology and love fossils so I think I can help with some things that might be nebulous. Obviously, I'd appreciate if paleontologists, biologists, and geologists would help in the thread as well. Thanks in advance.
I can tell there's some confusion about paleontology regarding things like how does fossilization occur, in which environments does it occur or not, how and where are fossils found, how easy or not are they to find and how you can find them too, how are fossil trackways preserved now on rock that used to be soft-sediment and where you can go see them for yourselves, how do integrative biologists attempt to reconstruct organisms and attempt to place them on evolutionary trees, how are those nice skeleton mounts assembled and how much of it fossil material or not, or even how much of it is from a single find or multiple finds, how are fossils prepared, what are microfossils, how do we use fossils to relate different rock layers to one another, how are fossils used in petroleum exploration, etc. There is so much to paleontology, it just never ends.
Here's a nice photo of the fossilized remains of a spinophorosaurus being excavated, isn't it amazing?

GPT-4 can already solve majority of university level exams with minimal or none supervision.
How do you cope anon, that your whole nerdy personality is being deminished by AI?
How do you cope that you wasted so much of your youth struggling to learn to solve integrals, differential equations, algorithimic exercises etc, meanwhile AI is not only faster but soon smarter than your midwit autistic brain?
Why exactly haven't you stopped studying your nerdy books? Math is not beautiful nor interesting, Ted Kaczynski knew that.
Do not cope or say that AI is just meme

I've recently been engrossed by the question of how geniuses think. What I'd really like to see is
>a genius describing their thought process and
>a genius voicing their interior monologue while solving a problem
Do you know of any information like this?
Is it their thought process or the way they think that makes them different (better) than the average person?

I have no health insurance so can't see a doctor, I have had what started as a basic skin tear/missing skin on my face after I woke up, very small, thought maybe I tore skin off on accident
Meanwhile it proceeded to form a yellow ring like scab around, and has gotten worse as the days go by. This shit is on my face, my skin keeps tearing bigger every day, I put peroxide on it and it bubbles, I've applied anti-fungal for like 2-3 days, I clean it often, and it's only gotten worse.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS PLEASE HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

Anssi Tikanmäki, 69, died yesterday from cancer
It was diagnosed in summer 2023
It is possible he had it already at 2022 but it went for sometime before getting noticed
He was non alcoholic musician.
