In a detailed examination of the late winter months of 2023, researchers observed extreme cold temperatures across a broad region of Antarctica.
"Record cold temperatures were observed in our Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) network as well as other locations around the region," said Matthew A. Lazzara of the Antarctic Meteorological Research and Data Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison).
"These phases were marked by new record low temperatures recorded at both staffed and automatic weather stations, spanning East Antarctica, the Ross Ice Shelf, and West Antarctica to the Antarctic Peninsula."
"The highest point, Kunlun Station, recorded its lowest temperature ever observed at -79.4°C, which was about 5°C lower than the monthly average."

I have a pressure washer that is rated for 1.4 GPM and 2000 psi. The hose's diameter is 4mm.
I want more GPM and ok with less psi. Would getting a bigger nozzle automatically give more GPM but less psi?
Is this the correct formula to use?
Flow rate = 1.4 GPM x 2000 psi,
flow rate is 2,800 (GPM x psi),
The new psi is 2,800 / 2, and therefore psi is 1400.
I think I did something wrong. It cannot be this simple, right? I think Bernoulli's equation only applies if the output diameter stays the same, but I want to increase the diameter to get more water out but ok with less psi.

I did my undergrad in Computer Science, focussing on Computational Engineering and Data Science and then moved on to a Mechatronics M.Eng. which was mostly about Control Engineering and Robotics.
However, the more I learn about Physics the more I fall in love with it.
Can someone here give me advice on how to land a PhD position in Physics?
My Masters thesis deals a lot with particle physics and simulation - could that maybe be a jumping-off point for further research? Sadly I don’t really have the funds or motivation to “start all over” with yet another full-time BSc.

One of the better papers I've read in a while.
"... when ChatGPT and the like produce false claims they are lying or even hallucinating, and in favour of the position that the activity they are engaged in is bullshitting, in the Frankfurtian sense."

Why did philosophy fail to keep up with science? Quantum mechanics was discovered more than 100 years ago. Yet philosophers still talk about determinism. How did they not notice it has been disproved?

Specifically what books and resources are there that I can use to learn about the chemistry and physics of genetics (supposing I only have high school level knowledge before hand) and in what order should I study them?
Thank you.

What is the science behind landing on the moon?
> newton states for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction.
If I’m traveling out of earths gravity at a high velocity how will I be able to slow down?
F=m*a
I will need a force able to slow me down equal to my velocity to make a landing on the moon without crashing? How? There’s not enough fuel . furthermore how would I get off the moon wouldn’t I need a rocker?

Make green choices and think Bitcoin cryptocurrency.
How?
Excess energy from the power grid can be used to run Bitcoin miners instead of going to waste.
If a large enough people switch to Bitcoin instead of using fiat there is a good chance we can even reverse climate change.

Homo sapiens is the animal species with the highest biomass on Earth. Yes higher than krill or any one species of ant or bee.
What this should tell you is that intelligence is extremely potent at causing biomass increase / gene proliferation. And due to this, if we ever encounter alien life it is very likely that they are intelligent.
