Is it possible to create an artificial, new element that will be stable, non-radioactive, and have useful properties? Is there a chance of an element that occurred by itself still remaining undiscovered?

Why aren't scientists working on making larger trees? Or faster growing hardwood trees?
We should be driving down the cost of lumber to basically zero. It seems like an extremely important issue and basically no organizations are working on it

i think for example adhd and other frontal lobe deficiencies might correlate with neanderthal admix, too. but it'll never be researched because they control science funding.

🧵 How to see the sublime in mathematics?
Anonymous at Sat, 9 Nov 2024 15:39:17 UTC No. 16468342
/lit/izen here. I want to be a polymath, which means I want to be learned in the domain of both the hard and soft sciences. I however find I am suffering from the 'humanities-oriented' condition; I take major delight in philosophy, theology, political science, psychology, anthropology and even esoteric/mystical matters. My preference towards these subjects is driven by how tightly they are tied to the human condition, human conduct in this universe and the relation between the human being and the general broad structure of reality. It utterly fascinates me.
However, when it comes to the sciences (in the modern sense of the word), my motivation to learn, say, mathematics (beyond its relation to metaphysics) is only for that sake of knowing it, just to check it off the list, and isn't driven by any other deeper sort of reason, as opposed to the above mentioned. What I want is that /sci/ perspective; to be able to perceive the inherent depth and value of the subject. I sometimes see threads dedicated to people expressing their utter awe for mathematics, and it makes me sort of feel like I'm missing out. Mathematics is too distant and impersonal, for me, compared to the above mentioned. If philosophy et al are a best-friend, or peers I get along very well with, then mathematics is that acquaintance who, although I enjoy greeting and making small-talk with, I don't care if I ever see her again. How do I approach her, ask her out, and then impregnate her, so to speak?

School is in session:
How to weaponize The Dark Forest
Step 1: Find a very convincing signal that could be "artificial" if a civilization saw it more than once.
Step 2: Arm up copies EVERYWHERE, ensure positioning such that the area you want to protect is within the (potential travel area) between the beacon points. (The first "natural" occurrence is a USABLE beacon point!)
Congratulations. Blue Eisenhower November just saved us effort on this process with those simple realizations.
We don't use a beacon we make.
We use a beacon we find, it's a BOGO in the Dark Forest.
FRB121102 - If you have to ask why this signal? Then you're an idiot that doesn't understand anything about prime numbers and delimiters.
6595.(1565/2048)
Sure, that could be a Greenbank limitation, but the real point is that it is easy to remember, so if Boltzmann hopping is real, all you have to learn is how to build the valuation from scratch. Everything else can be picked up on the fly.
Cesium - 133 - You have to learn the entire process of determining the Cesium transition frequency from scratch, as if you just got dropped on a deserted planet, and your only goal is to be able to make this number:
6595.76416015625 MHz as the CBFV (Center Baseline Frequency Value)
Why the CBFV?
Attenuation proof over 3 billion light years at least.
You cram that number in the middle, then the crests and troughs of the waveform being beaten up by Doppler shifting and random noise will NOT MATTER.
This is idiot proof, if you just learn how to define seconds, and make the beacon.
Do you believe in the POSSIBILITY of Boltzmann hopping?
Honestly, it's vastly easier to believe in that, than Abrahmic God.
BEN doesn't replace religion though, it's an API for Boltzmann Beacon creation. God can be real, and believing in the Blue Eisenhower November method for protecting Earth with a bluff beacon is totally fine, within all philosophical limitations.
Low danger, high yield of protective capacity, costs cut in half.

🧵 Resistances in a parallel branch
Anonymous at Sat, 9 Nov 2024 11:49:53 UTC No. 16468174
I've got a physics question: let's say I have a circuit with two resistors connected in parallel. The fixed resistor and variable resistor both have a non-zero value of resistance.
If I decrease the resistance of the variable resistor, the overall resistance of the circuit decreases. But what happens when the variable resistor's resistance goes down to zero? Will the circuit effectively become a series circuit, causing the resistance to go back up? Or will the overall resistance just tend to zero forever? Or something else entirely?
Pic related is the circuit
Any help would be appreciated

Why is string theory the best we got. It's just a bunch of mathematical nonsense. God didn't make 26 dimensions for strings to exist in. This is just some nerd's daydream, give it up.
