sup /sci/
i read some popsci shit a couple days ago about how ppl don't get enough iodine in their diet even since iodized salt became uncool and about how its going to lead to large scale health problems.
seems likes its could be another made up scare story for the i fukken loev scoyence crowd, but i kinda hope its real because i want to see ppl with huge goiters growing out of the side of their necks all over the place, it think it would jazz things up.
are there any better informed science experts here who can tell me if the looming iodine deficiency epidemic is real or not?

An Ultimately Theory Of Reality

No.13706468 ViewReplyOriginalReport
It seems to me the ultimate nature of reality is outside of space and time. Why then haven't we tried to use a different type of mathematics or model that doesn't have anything to do with distance. Obviously this type or math would work for anything that has to do with causality and what we observe in the physical universe but to answer what causes it would require a different type of math. There has to be theories and ideas based on this that other physicists have derived as well.

Essentially if your entire model is based on spacetime down to the mathematics that you use, then it will be impossible to explain what the nature of spacetime is based on those models.

Biology

Is Biology the most useful science? The smallpox vaccine saved 500 million lives. Inventing penicillin saved untold numbers of lives. Why would anyone major in something like math or physics that isnt actually useful?
