Room-Temperature Superconductivity Achieved for the First Time
https://www.quantamagazine.org/p…
„Yet while researchers celebrate the achievement, they stress that the newfound compound — created by a team led by Ranga Dias of the University of Rochester — will never find its way into lossless power lines, frictionless high-speed trains, or any of the revolutionary technologies that could become ubiquitous if the fragile quantum effect underlying superconductivity could be maintained in truly ambient conditions.“
so still no hoverboards :(
„That’s because the substance superconducts at room temperature only while being crushed between a pair of diamonds to pressures roughly 75% as extreme as those found in the Earth’s core.“

"Scientists Say They Can Recreate Living Dinosaurs Within the Next Few Years"
"This story was originally published on June 16, 2015,
Don’t we already know how this movie’s going to end?
In a potentially terrifying case of life imitating art, the renowned paleontologist who served as the inspiration for Jurassic Park protagonist Dr. Alan Grant is spearheading genetic research that could engineer dinosaurs back into existence within the next five to 10 years, he says."

- I understand some of this. Some.
What amazes me is that this dude's just doing this shit in his [admiteddly well-appointed] garage. Cool shit. Literally.Nairn - Well, not literally cool shit.
That's a different video. It's on Liveleak as it contravened Youtube's guidelines.Nairn - I was wondering "why why why" til the end: supercritical CO2 can be used to decaffeinate coffee or dryclean clothes~~sarahfailin

- But if we have been on the moon, then we have been on Marsdrgs
- To be fair - It's more like instead of only talking about the moon, talk about other endeavours, eg establishing a base on mars (same as on moon) etc etc.shapesalad
- That how I read it. He's not saying the moon is part of mars. More "of which the moon is a part of the missions to establish bases on planets/moons".shapesalad

Oooh. Evidence of a cyclical universe uncovered?
"This paper presents powerful observational evidence of anomalous individual points in the very early universe that appear to be sources of vast amounts of energy, revealed as specific signals found in the CMB sky. Though seemingly problematic for cosmic inflation, the existence of such anomalous points is an implication of conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC), as what could be the Hawking points of the theory, these being the effects of the final Hawking evaporation of supermassive black holes in the aeon prior to ours."

"The conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC) is a cosmological model in the framework of general relativity, advanced by the theoretical physicists Roger Penrose and Vahe Gurzadyan. In CCC, the universe iterates through infinite cycles, with the future timelike infinity of each previous iteration being identified with the Big Bang singularity of the next. Penrose popularized this theory in his 2010 book Cycles of Time: An Extraordinary New View of the Universe. "

Un-backed random thoughts of the day:
Is fear of intimacy widespread?
If intimacy is personal truth, and people are constantly lying because the truth is scary, then I think it's widespread. People are scared of being intimate with themselves and with others.In relationships, it seems sex is used to mask it, make it seem as if it isn't present and keep the mind off it.
Why is it that the first intimate contact between two newly acquainted people who are interested in a long term meaningful relationship, is not an intimate discussion or feeling, but touch and specifically french kissing?
In no time, they go from strangers to sexually engaged with no intimcay involved.It seems as if the more one represses intimacy, the more a yearning for contact manifests in needing touch.
Also with touch alone, one can continue lying, no words are necessary.Interestingly, pedophiles suffer from this, maybe this has to do with circles of violence as the bellow wiki article relates to abuse victims as well -
"Current studies show that people who have an insufficient amount of intimacy or are lonely are more vulnerable to exhibit sexually offending behaviors.[12]"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fe…Going with this rational, maybe it's not surprising that men, who are supposed to be stoic and fear more than a handshake with other men or talking about their feelings, have more fear of intimacy than women.

I good analogue of quantum entanglement not breaking the speed of light law...
The way people get around the idea that entanglement implies instantaneous communication is that no actual information is passed when the entangled particles affect each other. The argument is as follows (using a non-QM example):
Say you agree to send out two beams of light to your two friends who live on opposite sides of the galaxy (you live in the middle). Ahead of time you tell them that if one of the beams of light is red the other will be blue. So you send the blue beam to your friend on one side and immediately she knows that your other friend is receiving a red beam at the same time. Aha! You say, my friends have now communicated at a speed faster than the speed of light and violated relativity, but no real information has been passed between them. You have told both of them at a normal sub-luminal speed about what you just did and that's all. (A way of proving there's no faster than light communication is that you could lie and send them both the same coloured beam of light and they would never know!).
With QM is gets a bit more complicated because theoretically no-one knows the state of the particle until it has been observed, but you still cannot affect the state of the particle so the argument is the same.
