>>12162958 It's a pop science article / human interest piece on a student wondering if scenario X could be the case and then working out that yes, scenario X can be the case. Yes, there are implications, but those implications are something discussed among other time travel systems, mainly in science fiction.
There's little discussion to be had aside from circlejerking about how enlightened we are for understanding the information presented, which is just the base noise of /sci/. Here, it equates to nothing. This is a nothing thread.

Can an arbitrarily large object tunnel through an arbitrarily thick barrier just by going arbitrarily fast, so length contraction is enough to get the barrier thickness down below the object's Compton wavelength?

Scientifically speaking, what pushes young people to become neets?

>>12155626 Parents not teaching their kids how to succeed and instead depending on the school system to do so (even though it fails).
>brb mom works in some service office position, nothing to teach me >dad works as a mechanic but never once has taken me aside to teach me anything about cars >can't remember a single time in my life where my parents taught me anything, other than the obligatory father teaching to drive (bare minimum imo) And what do you get? People like me, sitting at home with 13 years of public schooling and 5 years of university who don't know how to do anything and are self conscious about how the only things they know are things that everyone knows.

If you are only making minimum wage but have the ability to be diagnosed as disabled it's more worth it to be a neet as you will essentially have the same lifestyle. If you have a large inheritance but your job only lets you save 1000 dollars a month it's more worth it be a neet then to work 40 hours a week.

Post-scarcity being a literal pipe dream, interstellar travel being pragmatically impossible and jumping to another goldilocks planet once we ruin this one off the table, humanity must begin to colonize the planets and moons around us in order to survive. But terraforming such barren wastelands will take immense resources, and to transport such will take serious cargo space. So what kind of vehicles do you envision being developed to transport freight and people across the solar system?

If I’m the 100billionth human, can I conclude from this that there’s a 90% chance there won’t be more than another 900 billion humans?

And for land mass example. If you take the square milage of florida, convert it to square feet. Then divide by 7billion.(the rough population) that everyone gets roughly 210 square feet. Which is roughly a 15ft by14ft room. . And that the USA legal limit of personal space. Is a 10ft radious. That no one would be I. Anyone's personal space. On ground level alone.

Time doesn't exist because electromagnetism doesn't experience time.
Humans are savage.
Dude, time only makes sense to the human brain. That's the problem with human brains, it is limited to what it can't experience. Somehow we can experience time but other animals can't. Maybe there is a lot more going on but our brains simply can't comprehend it. You ever think about that?

>The story spread in public media, prompting Niedermaier to offer an apology to the Bogdanovs, admitting that he had not read the papers firsthand. >the Bogdanovs released an email containing apparently supportive statements by Laurent Freidel, then a visiting professor at the Perimeter Institute.[3] Soon after, Freidel denied writing any such remarks, >Jackiw defended the thesis: All these were ideas that could possibly make sense. It showed some originality and some familiarity with the jargon. That's all I ask.[2]
>I had given a favorable opinion for Grichka's defense, based on a rapid and indulgent reading of the thesis text. Alas, I was completely mistaken. The scientific language was just an appearance behind which hid incompetence and ignorance of even basic physics.[8] People tripping over their dicks left and right.

How wide are the genetic differences between races? Biofags only please. I know skin color is a fairly irrelevant gene, since most races cover most tones anyway, I mean in terms of intelligence, mental resilience, bone structure, and muscle health. It's hard to find studies that actually care about answering the question, since they're all trying to disprove racism, which may or may not be valid.

Quoted By:
>>12154524 Even full genomes correlate with ancestral SNPs. Those who say that internal differences within genetic clusters are more significant than outside of it are only looking at a dozen of markers when there are millions available. Ancestral services would have no way of operating if there was such overlap of populations.
And sure, while most of those markers do not have an inherent benefit or malus, there are still markers that could easily be defining.

>>12156883 What a dumb take on those PCAs from you. I don't even support splitting of humans into subspecies but the PCs are constructed by looking at hundreds of thousands of SNPs, not a couple genes. Mind you that PCAs can only be three dimensional at best which doesn't exactly give credit to the multitude of ways different populations are different from one another. For example Polynesians or Native Americans have drifted a lot from East Asians.
Also the genetic distance between North Africans, West Asians and Europeans are not surprising considering that these groups have deep ancestry that diverged far back in the Paleolithic, further separated by drift even when geneflow has occurred between those three regions ever since.
