Is there a scientific way to stop this madness called "life"?
If realism, or dualism, is the true nature of existence, it means that for billions of years, countless living entities have faced an unimaginable summation of misery and suffering.
Antinatalism and elifism are the obvious escape philosophies, nothing else will ever arrest this long chain of suffering permanently and forever.
Yes, birthrates are falling across the globe, that's a good sign, but how can we accelerate the process? How can we, scientifically speaking, terminate all of this once and for all?
I know that the Sun will eventually burst into a red giant and fry the planet completely, but in the meantime, mankind might be able to espace that fate and populate the universe beyond the solar system.
How can we make sure that that never happens?
Also, bolide impacts, if incoming at high speeds from interstellar space, might produce ejecta at speeds surpassing the solar escape velocity, and allow for life to keep on perpetuating suffering through panspermia.
How can we speed up the Sun's final demise and avoid that?
🧵 Fusion Fag Wishful Thinking
Thorium Man at Sun, 10 Nov 2024 06:44:05 UTC No. 16469335
Imagine how much coal, oil and natural gas it took to create so much heat. And for what? We could've just funded Molten Salt Reactors (LFTRs & WAMSRs) since the 60's and had them perfect and widespread by now. But instead we make ourselves broke doing fusion research. The "scientists" who siphon money from taxpayers are evil grifters who constantly exaggerate their progress, worse than particle physicist fags.

Is there direct evidence that UV radiation damages DNA and causes cancer?
UV radiation is nonionzing so I don't understand why this would be true.
UV radiation does cause burns, but does it actualyl damage DNA?

I have some questions about bread that I can't seem to look up the answer for anywhere.
When you make bread the final weight of product is substantially less than what you started with and that is in part because some of the water weight is lost to evaporation, some of the flour and water is converted to ethanol which also evaporates away and some is lost via calories burned by the yeast. So I'm wondering about the last two, how much ethanol is created in the process and how much energy does the yeast use up?
I'm also wondering what the total mass of dead yeast is in the final product. I typically start off with a gram or two of yeast in a bread that uses over a kilo of flour and 24hr later I have a finished product which must be a much higher percentage yeast than what it started out as because the yeast grows so quickly when it has ample food and water available.
Somewhere I read that the yeast can double in 20 minutes under optimal conditions, but that seems like its can't possibly be the growth rate for too long because that would leave me with bread that was 100% yeast in under 4 hours.
The only thing I've measured myself is that the weight of the final product is about 75% the weight of all the mass I started off with.

Can you try and really convince me about the fakeness of OCD? I'm trying to find some divergent thoughts on the internet, but NPC central (reddit) has taken it all over so now everyone acts like the ministry of truth told them, so they firmly believe in OCD and if you think otherwise you're banned

>Academic papers are essential for researchers to communicate
their work to their peers and industry experts. Quality research is publi- shed in prestigious scientific journals, and is considered as part of the hir- ing and promotion criteria at leading universities. Scientific journals conduct impartial and anonymous peer reviews of submitted manuscripts; however, individuals involved in this process may encounter issues related to the duration, impartiality, and transparency of these reviews.

I was talking to a friend yesterday and he was telling me about how he read that in today's physics it is believed that things can appear from absolutely nothing, than in experiments, even the best vacuums we have achieved we have detected particles to "spawn in".
He also said that the conservation of energy law only works on chemical reactions and closed systems (which we aren't sure the universe is).
was my friend schizo ranting or did he say any truths?, if so what kind of particles can just "spawn in" like that?

Is biology, the study of living things, superior to physics, the study of matter and energy? Why should we care about inanimate rocks and predictable physical processes, when God's love and power is most apparent in things that live and breathe.

This is an incredible video, it provides evidence that the more intelligent you are, the more likely you are to be swayed in decision making by your political beliefs. More intelligent people seemingly experience emotions more intensely and it interferes with their ability to perform logically more so than less intelligent people. This could explain a lot of what we see in common political discourse.
It could potentially be used as an argument against many rhetorics that their side is right because they have more intelligent members or that they as an individual are more intelligent, when in reality this can have the opposite effect.
This can be compared with many other topics of discussion we feel intensely emotional about. Rule of thumb, if you feel very strongly about something, chances are, you're not thinking about it rationally, therefore, you really should try to distance yourself from emotions when making decisions and put facts over feelings.
In short, intelligent people are more stubborn, which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

I don't see how this makes sense using Mendelian inheritance. Is it because of the heterogeneity in a population and random gene inheritance from two parents to their offspring, or random mutations that aren't deleterious?
