🧵 Breakthrough in clean energy generation: The hydro-gravitational generator

I'm talking about this device: https://youtu.be/T6fK8EcFizI
The video gives you 2 explanations of how and why it works, let me give you a third one:
Let's think about the asymmetrical tube. The wide part holds 10 liters of water, while the thin part holds only 1 liter, and it was already manually filled with water before we start.
So, what happens to the water inside the asymmetrical tube?
There are only four outcomes that are even theoretically possible:
1- The water splits in two. The water inside the wide part falls into the higher container, while the water inside the thin part falls into the lower container.
2- The water doesn't move at all.
3- The whole of the water moves up the wide part, down the thin part, and into the lower container.
4- The whole of the water moves up the thin part, down the wide part and into the higher container (i.e., what is shown in the video, which creates a perpetual motion machine).
Thing is, options 1, 2, and 3 are physically impossible.
Option 1 would cause a vacuum at the top of the tube, but none of the forces are strong enough to create a vacuum.
Options 2 and 3 cannot happen because the whole point of the asymmetry of the tube is to ensure that the force produced by the 10 liters of water in the wide side is by far the strongest force in the whole system. No force produced in the thin side is anywhere near strong enough to oppose the 10 liters in the wide side.
By design, we can ensure that nothing can prevent the water in the wide part from moving downwards.
Imagine a balance scale with 10kg on one side and 1kg on the other. The only possible outcome is that the 10kg are moving down. It is simply impossible for the 1kg to prevent the scale from moving, let alone to overpower the 10kg, and cause those 10kg to move upwards.
So option 4, the one where we get free electricity, is the only possible one.

Is it actually possible for someone with a top 1% / 0.5% IQ (or any non-meme index) to learn all of the math required for applied math / actual applications in a lifetime? What percentage of the math with know is exactly "pure"?

Before the universe existed, there was only the fluctuation between nothingness and something, but all of a sudden, those fluctuations triggered violent expansion, subsequently causing the energy that hence came to create a huge number of elementary particles; What they call the big bang. Energy can be converted into matter, it's the basis of physics. Those elementary particles, each acted in their own predetermined way. Flying around, combining, making atoms, making molecules, making every kind of matter. Giving form to everything in this universe. I don't believe in chance. I don't believe in quantum randomness. Everything is inevitable. The earth, the birth of humanity, cigarettes being made, you reading this post right now, the discussion that will unfold after that, the thought you just had... all of it. It was all laid out the moment the universe came into existence. Nothing more than the extension of the behavior of energy and elementary particles created 13.8 billion years ago. You can't change fate.
200 million years ago, our mammalian ancestors developed a neocortex, giving them a superior intellectual capacity. The neocortex continued to hypertrophy through the evolutionary process, giving rise to tools, to sociality, to complex emotions. This was all part of the script, as far as the universe was concerned. Even more contrived than anything you'd see in a Hollywood blockbuster.

I have been trying to figure out how P-values work but I don't exactly get it
Whenever I look stuff up all I can find is the stuff using a table but we weren't taught and we can't use the table
i inputted the formula for this right-tailed problem and it was considered it incorrect
I put this equation into a graphing calculator
X^2cdf(Xo^2,E99,n)
X^2cdf(38.24,E99,12) and got 1.402837008 E-4 not the 0.0001 which is correct
This is the equation my professor gave me so what am I doing wrong here?
🧵 How do I acquire a Varian V3900

Hi.
I’m interested in acquiring a Varian V3900 at a discount for something I’m planning on building. I’ve checked a few websites like govdeals for any discounted military or university magnets, but I can’t find anything. What websites or irl places should I frequent to find good deals for something like this electromagnet? I’d like to acquire it without spending more than $2000 ideally.
Thank you.

When I was younger I had mathematics skills, iq above 130 gifted program yadda yadda yadda. One thing led to another and I stopped caring about school and had a 2.6 gpa in HS. I ended up getting an IT degree from picrel.Its easy work and good money but I always wanted to be a quant or work on wall street in some way. If I went back to school to get a masters in comp sci and then a second bachelors in mathematics or physics is that good enough to be a quant? What do I have to do to use math to create alpha and get paid for it?

I mainly did cs during highschool and although cs is very fun (more so than even physics), i have come to the conclusion that a cs degree is a meme. The way it is taught in school is neither interesting nor very hard. Anyone who says it is hard is coping out of their mind. Show a cs major picard-lindelof to shut them up.
Theres also the fact that you can learn 99% of the stuff without blowing 200k.
I want to study physics in college but I don't want to become a homeless fag. I will try to adjust in a cs minor or even double major.
Can someone detail the post grad experience as a physics major

Could time flow unevenly without us ever being able to detect it? This isn't about our subjective experience of time passing quickly or slowly, but rather about the actual flow of physical time itself. For instance, could what we measure as a 24-hour day actually be taking 30 "true" hours to unfold in some absolute sense? Consider a video game analogy. Characters within a game experience their world through the game's internal clock. Whether the game runs at normal speed, half speed, or double speed, everything within the game world remains proportional and consistent. The characters walk, interact, and measure time using only elements within their world, and all these elements scale uniformly with the game's running speed. They have no way to detect if their entire reality is running faster or slower relative to our external time. Our universe might operate similarly. All our measurements of time are based on comparing regular physical processes - atomic vibrations, planetary orbits, decay rates, or any other consistent physical phenomenon. If time's flow varied but affected all physical processes uniformly, we would have no way to detect this variation since all our "clocks" (in the broadest sense) would be affected identically. The laws of physics would remain consistent, just as game physics remain consistent regardless of play speed. Just as a game can be paused, slowed, or sped up by the player, our universe's time could theoretically be "running" at different rates relative to some external framework. But just like game characters can't detect if their game is running on a fast or slow computer, we can't detect if our universe's time flow is "fast" or "slow". The universe's time would be like the framerate or tick rate of reality itself - the actual rate at which the "cosmic processor" is processing our reality. The game has its internal clock measuring time in frames/ticks. The computer has its actual processing speed running those frames.

Pathogenic viruses are fake and gay.
Some months ago I got job at the airport.
I encounter 100 -1000's different people every day.
My job means talking directly to many of them face to face all day long.
My new colleagues told me to expect to get sick fairly quickly because of this, they said everyone does.
Indeed, I've seen them getting sick fairly frequently over 6 months.
However, I have not gotten sick once since I started, because I don't believe in pathogenic viruses.
I am fully convinced much of the illness we attribute to viruses is psychosomatic based on people's own belief that other humans are swimming with illness causing virus and getting close to them will make you sick eventually.
Since I know that whole virus paradigm is bullshit, I know that merely encountering many people wont make me sick, so I don't get sick.
What's more, I can more clearly than my colleagues see what makes them get sick - lack of sleep, bad diet, and even yes, the psychosomatic aspect - they are expecting almost desiring to get sick - to prove that the work environment is bad and valid to complain about.
And so they get sick - and then say "See! this is a terrible environment to work in!"
