Howdy, Anyone else seen the tv series Chernobyl? :scared-shocked: https://youtu.be/s9APLXM9Ei8 A great example how business and personal ambition overrules commonsense. With the unthinkable as a result. 84BBA6B2-AF9A-4C08-B0C2-92827BA602EF.jpeg This was still nuclear and containable, when you go sub...

Or like this one … GoT it.

You mean like the third image on this page or what ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-47873592 Yes, and even more like the image in the video, so we get some more 'relational' info.

Hi,

Anyone else wondering why they’re not showing a broader image of this ‘new’ black hole?


Like in this clip:

Seems like it is missing the point of a chain reaction, where you heat something up to the point that it starts to self combust. Like this meteor that reaches a specific temperature and suddenly splatters to pieces. https://youtu.be/dwlUDwTE-OI Some goes for the LHC if you start to illuminate matter...

Anyone following the 2nd season of Star Trek Discovery?

There are going to be some planets destroyed in the future!

Can you give an example of: “What people do in the name of science isn't the same as science.”

Thanks in advance!

What people do in the name of science isn't the same as science. What people do in the name of religion isn't the same as religion. People abuse labels and causes in their own interests, the problem is people, not the thing they are misusing. Mh, the bad things that people do in the name of science...

But science isn't the same. Science is always justified …

Science isn’t holy and what people do in the name of ‘science’ is surely not ‘always justified’.

Science itself is indifferent, the uses go in all directions from the very good down to absolute horror.

Well resurrecting this topic as we have all seen the FCC Conceptual Design Report (CDR) release today. … Is it really worth spending 10bn€ to confirm that the universally recognised as incomplete Standard Model does still work at 100Tev ? Sure some new physic might appear at those energy level but ...

Oh, I just read this post just now, overlooked it somehow. Very sad ‘news’. I had a great time and lots of interactions with him. My condolences to his family and friends. Nice of his son to drop us a line. —- Charms, also sorry to hear about your husband parents, Danny aka StrangeQ if I’m correct. ...

what energy can it reach up to, I did read it reached energies of 200 GeV but I think that was proton collisions I'm asking because of NICA: http://nica.jinr.ru/ For Nica, the page said "Heavy ions will be accelerated up to kinetic energy of 4.5 GeV per nucleon, the protons – up to 12.6 GeV. " For ...

what caused that? Tough to say, it happened in the future. :roll: I’m not sure but I believe it was originally believed to have been done by Daisy Johnson , formerly known as Skye, and now known as Quake and being thought of as ‘The Destroyer of Worlds’. But finally it seems that General Talbot was...

Here's a cool video of Sparks in a Vacuum chamber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdRz3GBR_Qs It nicely shows Paschen's Law which is an equation that gives the breakdown voltage, that is, the voltage necessary to start a discharge or electric arc, between two electrodes in a gas as a function of pr...

I plugged in numbers into the quadrupole formula. There is nothing published because a one-minute calculation shows it is tens of orders of magnitude too weak to be relevant. A small reminder what happens when things are shaken up by small vibrations and whole structures collide: Saverio Ferrari bl...
