  1. Re:Obligatory XKCD on CPU's Heat Output to Amplify DNA Could Make Drastically Cheaper Tests · · Score: 0

    They are trying to find an excuse to mine bitcoins in the lab. They will probably end up with a new altcoin called CPUCOIN.

    The angular momentum is a greater force. The convection currents may shrink linearly, but it will never shut down.

    What precisely happens to that heat in all of the complex thermal systems on Earth is still not well understood. This is what happens. The sea surface temp rises and rushes to the poles, warm air will follow because its the path of least resistance, the warm air slices through the upper atmosphere jet stream and causes the polor vortex to drop over Northern Minnesota and freeze my balls off.

  5. Re: Fusion Confusion on If Fusion Is the Answer, We Need To Do It Quickly · · Score: 1

    The cleanup cost of the current system is about 100x the energy than it produced. What could go wrong?

  6. Re:You get nothing. Good day, sir! on The Royal Society Proposes First Framework For Climate Engineering Experiments · · Score: 0

    The energy gets transferred to the sea surface and moves towards the poles. Warmer air moves in the direction of the path of least resistance which is toward the poles. The warm air displaces the cold arctic air and the polar vortex is now over the North America. Can you see the similarities in last winters weather patterns? Welcome to the new ice age.

    Mutations, Cut off your right index finger and try and call that a good mutation. The odds of getting any good mutations from a nuke accident is zero.

  9. Re:This is not evidence; this highly simplified mo on The Benefits of Inequality · · Score: 0

    The bigger picture suggests that we do not have a choice and that things move in cycles. Capitalism ends when all the resources are used up and then there is a small period of cannibalism and then it turns into communism.

    I live in a neighborhood that is totally republican. I named the local groundhog Cheney. It's difficult for the neighbors because when a raven flies by they want to say something but can't find the words.

  11. Re:Advanced? on Finding Life In Space By Looking For Extraterrestrial Pollution · · Score: 0

    Industrial pollution at the levels we emit, may not be a sign of intelligent life. It may be a sign of a life form with huge egos that are about to go extinct.

    I bet the next time they invent a virus, they will add more proline and glycine.

  13. Dare to Imagine on Can the Multiverse Be Tested Scientifically? · · Score: 0

    To understand this universe you must try and imagine how things must be like in another universe with different universal laws. String theory will eventually fail, but it is a path that we must follow to get to where we want to go. I have been to the end of that path and realized that the answer I was looking for was right at the beginning (three body systems).

  14. Predicting the future on The New Science of Evolutionary Forecasting · · Score: 0

    The only missing variable may be that human intelligence is relative to the size of the population. It may explain why we have no empathy towards this planet. The impossible situations that we face today may someday be solved as long as we keep increasing the population. Otherwise, we are surely doomed.

  16. Re:What is life? What is a virus? on Hints of Life's Start Found In a Giant Virus · · Score: 1

    Great questions, I have come to believe that a virus is not a life form. Its only role is to transfer segments of DNA from one life form to another. It is how information is sent without individual contact.Is very important part of evolution because it saves time.

    The only problem with nuke fuel is that we have no current technology to store nuke waste. With our current technology it cost 100x the amount of energy to safely store the nuke waste than it produced. We will end up using all the fossil fuels just to store nuke waste.

  19. Exotic Matter on What Came First, Black Holes Or Galaxies? · · Score: 0

    Blackholes have been here since day one. They are simply matter that came from our neighboring universes. They follow different quantum laws than the matter in our universe. Our universe is a stream and it is flowing in one direction. The big bang is only an allusion. If the Andromeda galaxy was moving away from us, we would see that the universe was shrinking instead of expanding.

    I can do thought experiments that last for months. When I am awake, I do research and when I am asleep, I dream about the problem and find alternatives. I can stay awake for days and sleep for days. The only way to do this is to know thyself so it does not interfere with your thought process.

  21. Weather Prediction Gene on Tibetans Inherited High-Altitude Gene From Ancient Human · · Score: 0

    I win sports handicapping contests by using only weather variables to predict if a home team is going to win or lose. I have been doing this for several years. I won the NFL contest the last 2 years in a row, beating over 200 other contestants for the $1000 prize and I am the top MLB handicapper for the last three contests that I have entered. I believe that there is a gene that hunter gatherers depended on to warn them of poor weather conditions. I find certain weather conditions make the home team preform differently than the away team. So if bad weather is in the area the home team is not as productive (lazy and tired) and lose more often. This would help the hunter gatherer by subconsciously keeping him home if bad weather was coming in the near future and it would make the away team more alert so they could have the energy to get shelter.

  23. Helmet Laws for Pedestrians on Unintended Consequences For Traffic Safety Feature · · Score: 0

    Humans cannot be this stupid. The current auto transportation system is the most unsustainable way to move. 90% of the weight of the car can be disposed of when you put them on rails and let a computer drive it. You then can move 20 times faster on 20x less energy with no accidents. This type of system would pay for itself in less than 1 year. The wars we fight to fuel this system is just a symptom of how unsustainable it truly is. Who in their right mind would think that people can drive at 55 mph and only have a painted line on the road to protect them. You people are fucking idiots if you think our species will survive another 40 years with the system we have now.

    NASA needs to stop dreaming and get to work on designing a sustainable transportation system for earth use or we won't be going anywhere.

  25. Galaxies Orbit on Trio of Big Black Holes Spotted In Galaxy Smashup · · Score: 0

    Galaxies usually orbit around a massive round one in their cluster. The shape of spiral galaxies is produced by the shape of the fabric of space time as they approach each other at the end of their cycle. After they pass each other they change shape and will evolve into every type of galaxy shape until they finish the cycle as a spiral. The orbiting galaxies flip when they reach the farthest distance from each other and start back on another collision course. Each shape is specific to their position of the cycle.
