I may be one of the three you mention but I've also put forward thoughts on engineering a change, if that's the consensus desire. Life is the way it is and if you want to change it you've got to change the ground conditions. I was rather hoping this discussion would be about solutions, but, as ever, it's just mutual wringing of hands. Edited in missing words.

Save your bookmarks, if you want, and delete your google folder in C: > Users > Your Name > AppData > Local > Google. Appdata is a hidden folder that can be revealed by showing hidden folders first in the 'View' menu of Explorer. This will give you a vanilla copy of Chrome or you can re-download Chrome, after uninstalling it, if you want to be sure. When you uninstall Chrome the normal way, the Google folder is never deleted, you have to do it manually. That's why some PUP's (potentially unwanted programs) persist after installing a new copy of Chrome. Google try to hang onto your trackable information, and anything else that be parked in there, by not deleting that folder.

The problem with discussing this subject is that it always gets stuck on the effects and seeking evidence that it exists and, subsequently, never moves on to discuss possible paths to adjust the difference. I agree with Dr Krettin: what's the problem? The 20% reflects the present general inclination of women towards this subject. The present system filters only for those women that that have a strong passion for the subject and not the in-betweeners as well, like it does men. Two contradictory statements? No, because if you want to see more women in physics, do something about it and change the landscape so that interest may be fostered in them at an age where they are likely to be receptive.

Can't two-photon physics produce an electron-positron pair; matter?

I've thought like this too but then I think; would it be better to socially engineer more women into the discipline, since they think slightly differently and may offer more possibilities of novel solutions to existing problems in physics and subjects where physics is applied?

That's the way I look it: the existence of emergence is self-evident but an analytical explanation for complex phenomena, like those of a brain, is, as yet, beyond reach.

I did the survey. I think really, the women that are doing physics as their day job are the best people to get out there and talk to girls and encourage them to pursue that subject. Also, perhaps there could be some core themes in courses that are more likely to pique a girl's interest. I say 'girl', not 'woman' because it's probably pubescents (12+), at the latest, that a concerted policy wants aiming at, when career aspirations are still in flux, or only just dawning in child's mind, and education becomes a serious activity..

It's getting tiresome and depressing seeing you spamming this site with your endless, inane navel-gazing and whingeing.

We will probably walk backwards into it without seeing it happening. The nature of emergence is such that we can't predict the result beforehand and may miss it at the time it happens.

Members here don't penalise ignorance but do willfull obstinance in the face of evidence and bad or uncivil attitude. You don't have to be formally educated to have chats here about science here but if you come up with ideas or hypotheses expect them to be challenged and have citations ready to support them. If you genuinely just want to soak up information, nobody should have any reason to pick on you. welcome to the forum.

It's a breath of fresh air to see someone trying keep it within the realms of science, especially something as fuzzy and elusive in definition and mechanics as this subject.

Succinct.

Here's a few burners for ideas. You can get triple ones as well. You only need to heat the weeds up to kill them... no need to burn them to a frazzle. If you do this when the weeds are just popping out the ground after going over it once and removing the big weeds with a fork there's no need to dig subsequently after that. Just start a scorched Earth policy. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=weed+burner&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=185256221647&hvpos=1t1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8554128262608933104&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046596&hvtargid=kwd-171440836&ref=pd_sl_5xxgkwgiv7_e https://www.google.co.uk/#q=propane+burner+torch+triple&tbm=shop&spd=16263989596563634274 For big areas, a triple: http://gasproducts.co.uk/bullfinch-135p-extended-torch-kit.html?gclid=CMaAh8mNudMCFQ4R0wodJi0EZA

You are probably breaking up the rhizomes into ever smaller pieces each time you weed and each piece can become a plant. They need removing surgically when the soil is well moist. You could use a burner if you want to be lazy and scorch them dead. But yeah, weeds=infinity When you think you can win. Use your timer to measure your best training time and put that against the desired competitive time. If you equal it or beat it, that's enough.

I wondered how long it would take before someone vandalised the conversation with metaphysical woo.

It depends whether you consider the cellulase is produced by a ruminant or the commensal bacteria within them because you can say "Yes, ruminants can break down cellulose" but, in reality, it's the bacteria. Strictly speaking, mammals can't break it down.

What does the suffix -ase tell you?

There's plenty of scientists that believe in a deity but they don't let it interfere with their work.

This is correct because you can always put the deity just before what we know and, ultimately, say "Well, they wrote the algorithm that told everything how to behave."

I think these are squid fossils:

There's no need to get personal. A simple presentation of the alternative fact should suffice.

Yes, it didn't matter for my question which model was used but Strange is correct if it was just a GR question.

Yes. Thanks to everyone for all the responses, I'm a bit clearer now on this.

Thank you.
