„PBS Spacetime” „3 blue 1 brown”

We've sent first probes into space in the 1950's, I don't see Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos or other capable people pursuing your scenario - distance will always be the main factor and a single planet resource will never cope with it (I know, it sucks) Isotopes, what a surprise! Plus apparently there’s one of aluminum with 13 protons and 14 protons, thats some serious alien sh** right there.

I think that distance is the limiting factor. The vastness is the main factor, there are hundreds of millions of non Earth lifefoms out there but we are just too far away to make contact (yet).

I remember reading my Dad’s „Project Blue Book” when I was around 15 years old (I’m 46 now), It was breathtaking. I was overwhelmed untill I was around 20, thats when I first came across with statistics and probability in an entirely other context than UFO’s (it was related to me and my friend smuggling Dr Martens boots from the UK to PL, the London guy was an interesting person) I started to dig down into where I am as a human, on earth, in the solar system, in the galaxy, in the observable universe. I kept my fascination untill I was around 28 when I got interested in politics when I started to work for an add egancy, I think thats when I lost my interest in the UFO phenomena. When I got around Relativity (more or less) around my mid 30’s I completely lost interest in the idea that aliens are visiting Earth. Youre asking what it would take - I’d say some good old juicy evidence. I know, Im boring...stuff that I slipped on in my life made me that way.

This quote by Richard Feynman explains it straight forward: ”The reason for this unexpected behavior is that when the atoms in contact are all of the same kind, there is no way for the atoms to “know” that they are in different pieces of copper. When there are other atoms, in the oxides and greases and more complicated thin surface layers of contaminants in between, the atoms “know” when they are not on the same part. — Richard Feynman, The Feynman Lectures, 12–2 Friction”

Thats some impressive persistence from the semen.

@Strange, I appologize for steering this into science fiction instead of sticking to science.

Was just about to post this but Stringy beat me to it:

The juice has jelly like, gooey, slippery, trasparent pieces floating around. Can’t get myself to swallow this stuff - feels like getting impregnated by some alien life form.

@Sensei yep, youre right. But still you f up Also, if I recall correctly Silvestru is Romanian. I’m sure you know that Poland and Romania are two different countries.

Gee Sensei, I wish you’d used # in this post with my nick in it, that way I wouldn’t have missed it and replied a year ago. You are a piece of work man, you answer complex questions in the computer science section yet you missed the keyword hash thingy. Yep, just browsed but since I read a lot of politico over the years I can pretty safely confirm. Sh1t got a a lot thicker since last year though, yesterday a „commision” was interrogating Donald Tusk in Warsaw (President of the EU Council) trying to frame him into 140mln PLN (44mln USD) in shady VAT anomalies while the ruling party defrauded several billions in their machinations to feed brainless morons a populistic reality created to win the next elections which are pretty soon. This sh1t worked 3,5 years ago when they won and everything is clicking into place for them to win again...they have most of the media, the church, the courts - everything. 5 days after they won the elections 3,5 years ago, Kaczyński let Zbigniew Ziobro merge the attorney general function with the minister of justice function and let him take the seat, this event initiated everything after. Oh please, you can say a lot about Trump but he knows how to get us into lucrative for the US maintenance contract for the next 10+ years - Duda is a blind moron with zero diplomatic intuition and/or experience. Some of us are paranoid and all of us are having a drink on a Wednesday evening (multiple years of Russian influence) Many of us already left, some of us stayed out of which some still want to leave. In the last decade or so we are like the Jews - we don’t know if we should stay or go. I’m typing this from my balcony with a drink listening to a ferrari v12 just parking in front of our building with a „PW” sticker at the back „Poland Fighting” - a PiS rulling party theme.

If you have the same attitude in real life outside of internet forums, you will need to find replacements for your genetically superior teeth pretty soon. People don’t like a**holes, stop being one.

Today I learned that electrons can pass through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium which results in Cherenkov radiation.

The best thing you can do at this point instead of posting more threads and more posts of your own for the the next week or so, is read through Janus’s posts on this forum in various threads. Do yourself a favor and do as I suggest.

Just so you know, most people answering so far in your multiple thereads (which you all posted over a period of few hours while being on the forum for 1 day) are professional scientists - physicists, biologists, chemists, some of them have PHD’s. Why do you think its appropriate to march into a science site full of those people shouting that you have it all figured out? I have a tip for you...choose a subject and try spending a few months on this forum in a specific section of it and pursue your ideas, see where it gets you and what you can learn. You wont get far just by informing everyone that you figured out some area of science without posting your model/evidence - you’ll get bashed everytime you do that. Also, your narcissistic attitude is a big show stopper for you, even if you already were a Nobel prize winner and came here with that attitude you’d get bashed too. Change your attitude and stay to learn or keep it up and pretty quickly you’ll be gone from here ending up at some crackpot site looking for respect and justification of your baseless ideas. Most probably you will find those at one of the pseudo science sites on the internet.

Back in 2006 I was on the coast of Angola giving training for a Chevron-Texaco oil rig (dozens of them on the ocean) The closed small town was about 2500 people governed entirely by the US in a military manner. They had a 24 hour strike few days before I got there, it cost them 168 milion USD. It sure puts the scale of the business into perspective. I had a talk with a foreman of one of the rigs over lunch one day...I don’t feel comfortable typing about what he said on the internet but let me just say that my jaw was open most of the lunch.

The panels are cheap but the batteries are still a big a hit for the pocket. A decent single 18650 battery costs around 4-5 bucks when you buy bulk and you need ~7000 of them to get an 85kWh pack which I presume would be the territory needed for a household...so youre looking at ~25K USD for energy storage which after 10 years is scrap (runs down below 50% capacity) Unfortunately energy storage is still a privilege for the wealthy.

I’m not sure about the ownership, since the big electrical companies are being merged/sold it would seem that they are at least partially private but the regulations are made on legislative level throughout the whole industry. Its silly but I don’t know who owns the company which provides electricity to our house, it might be a French corporation that owns it (forgot the name) From what Ive been told though, youre not allowed to produce your own energy without paying a tax to the state, its like with tobbaco and alcohol. Theres a constant dissonance between how the EU regulates these things and how our government does things. They burried wind and solar a couple years ago with some ridiculous laws.

I have a friend who lives in Burbank California who works as an electritian for a state company. He baught w bunch of solar panels 2 years ago for his home, the other day while at my buddies summer house 30 miles from Warsaw we had a long video chat the three of us, my buddy here attempted to equip his summer house with solar but the state taxes you, doesn’t let you do anything with surplus energy generated, its a real pain here. The Burbank friend on the other hand sends his surplus energy back to the grid and is getting payed for it. I ron’t know how it is in the other states but in California it seems its a great idea to go for solar. Here its a nightmare, they will excise tax you to the point it doesn’t make financial sense to do it unless youre wealthy and stubborn.

I think you're overthinking the issue. There's a sea of dicks out there and solipsists are swimming in it giving the pace.

I'm wondering, is there an area of science (or of life or any other area of anything) where you have anything left to learn? Maybe you could give a hint ?

Brexit Seventeen Alpha Boris Johnson! Consider yourself active Strange.

Getting hooked on a drug because of reasons is one thing but doing it purposely to avoid catching a cold is plain moronic. Unless you’re looking to people help you here to justify your addiction? Thats what alcoholics do, they look for justifications everywhere which enables them to think that their addiction is a „perfectly normal” thing.

Lots of the pool/snooker players I know have various health issues, 3 time polish champion had a spine surgery month apart from mine. "Breaking a sweat" does take different meaning depending on the type of sport, look at all the chess players going nuts.
