Like, we’ll probably find out that eating boogers actually makes you immune to select illnesses or something crazy like that.

      Was going to post this. Not very sanitary (hand washing first is required) or attractive, but it is good for your immune system in the long run. Ken Jennings, the jeopardy guy mentions it in his book.

      That may actually explain why I rarely get sick. I’m having a hard time remembering a single day of this year where I was sick that wasn’t caused by things like eating uncooked foods or something else of that nature.

    A high-resolution picture made on nearby “neutron stars” or nearby “stellar black holes”.
    Like dark matter and the big bang they don’t exist and
    so whatever they’re looking at will never conform to their theories.
    Both of these type of objects are stars larger than jupiter with the latter being the largest class of supergiants.

    I’ve got a couple that roll around in my head, radiation therapy will be seen as barbaric at some point. Assuming we don’t burn ourselves off this earth in the next few years I think we’ll see some progress on this. Moderna is known for their COVID shot, however they have basically eliminated melanoma with a tailored injection. Last I looked at it, it was in it’s mid stage or something and was almost 100% effective.

      Honestly most cancer therapy is like that. Chemo and radio are basically working on the fact that your body is more resilient than cancer cells so they will likely die before you do. They are not pleasant things to go through. Surgery is your best option if it’s available and that involves chopping out chunks of yourself.

      We already know it’s barbaric. It’s a last resort. It kills you and the cancer, only the cancer gets the worst of it. It’s a terrible solution to the problem, only a step better than death.

    The breakdown between quantum and classical physics is proven to be optimizations in a simulation and then everyone kinda shrugs because it’s real enough and scientists are driven up the wall trying to figure out some sort of way to actually use this knowledge for any purpose

      Wouldn’t proof that we’re in a simulation also mean pretty concrete proof that there’s no afterlife or any form of continuation of consciousness when we die?

      Why would an optimization make things more complicated? The point of optimizations in any simulation is to simplify the complexity of the computation. The entire reason why there is a multi-billionaire industry to research quantum computers is because they are exponentially more difficult to simulate than classical physics, so they are not practical to simulate on a classical computer. Seems weird to me that a simulator would “optimize” things by making them enormously more complex.

        Classical physics is the optimization. Kicking a ball is kicking a ball if you’re zoomed out far enough

          Do you even need quantum mechanics to make that argument, then? You’re basically saying weak emergence is evidence of being in a simulation because you can approximate nature much simpler when “zoomed out.” It seems like even if we did not have quantum mechanics you could still make that argument.

    Solid proof that the source of all life on this planet actually began on a different world. The critical components came here via a comet or even an spacecraft that inadvertently dropped it off. Should screw with a lot of ideals

        This is always my reaction to this theory as well. If someone asks “How did life on Earth start?”, surely we can assume they actually mean “How did life start?”

        It’s like if a kid saw a baby, and asks their parents “Where do babies come from?”, and their reply is “Oh that baby lives next door, it came from that house”.

      Id expand on this. I think the entire solar system has microbial life. Every crack it can exist it will. Asteroids, comets, the gas giants. Its likely all related too. Itd be mostly underground tho and hard to find. Probably multicellular life in some cases too like ice moons, and underground on mars in cave systems.

    I consider Extended Wigners Friend Problem Experiment to be quite fascinating. This experiment has already been performed, but I expect its results to be fully understood by the masses. And I am not proffesional physicist and want to understand it better too by myself. a-quantum-experiment-suggests-theres-no-such-thing-as-objective-reality The results of this experiment call into question one or more assumptions about the existence of objective reality, freedom of choice, or locality. All three cannot exist together. But personally, I think that the second and third points have been checked a lot of times, so no matter how improbable it may seem, the first point is the most likely.

        Sorry for this website it’s not some special website, just one of many website describing the experiment. You can search in internet for better site with review of this experiment(Extended Wigners Friend Experiment).

      Were you around when the Fort Detrick conspiracy was going around? Obviously not true but has more evidence than the Wuhan shit so was fun to use to push back against that.
