What Actually Caused the Baby Boom?… It Wasn’t (really) WWII at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts1ZFHA4cCw I came from a large family and was born a few years after WW II.  I would say that movies, advertising to “have the good life”, consumption, television had a lot to do with it. “Cheaper by the dozen” and washing machines, microwaves

Turtles all the Way Down: What is Dark Energy? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0lddIKoxYg My Comment: There are many processes, nuclear energy creation in stars foremost, that spread things out. Once gravitation and binding bring things together and nuclear fusion is possible, the nuclear energy created is much greater than gravitational energy. Our sun streams neutrinos, light, heat,

Ideal Weapon: Can Hafnium Bombs Replace Nuclear Bombs? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHPzQrJ8D7M Suggest you use NuDat3 at BNL to see all the isotopes that can be used. You also need all the magnetic moments, which I think they will be adding. Most of the radioactive isotopes can be used for their reactions. Not just stable ones if

Veritasium: Why Democracy Is Mathematically Impossible at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf7ws2DF-zk There are literally hundreds running for President now. I would rather they all “work for the good of the country” and everyone share their skills and ideas on the Internet openly, completely, and current. If they need to get a salary to survive to “work for the

I am sorry the corals might all die, but it is probably not going to kill all life on earth

Richard K Collins Collaborative Model and Data, Global Climate Change, Infrastructure Water Power Internet Food Weather September 4, 2024

Rambling Note: I am sorry the corals might all die, but it is probably not going to kill all life on earth. Could the whole world be smart enough to afford to keep the corals? Not likely. Reading “400-year-old corals reveal “tragic” temperature rise on reef” at https://cosmosmagazine.com/earth/climate/great-barrier-reef-temperature-corals/   They say flat out, 1.5 C

@CaseEngineer @CWRUalumni @cwru   I was reading the History Computer Engineering and Science Programs at https://engineering.case.edu/computer-and-data-sciences/history-computer-science   It is a bit incomplete. I think because it does not consider all the departments. Case Institute of Technology was my first university. My scholarship was based on chemistry, but within a few days of arriving in 1967

Monica Lewinsky (she/her) @MonicaLewinsky  Doctors use problematic race-based algorithms every day. Why are they so hard to change? – STAT https://apple.news/AbFJCF8d6TPOLH2lF7TGvZQ Replying to @MonicaLewinsky It is a good thing to aim for “attentive, caring, individual, personalized”. It is not the use of methods or writing things down to help guide one self and others. It

Patrick Mineault @patrickmineault  My weekend project http://ismy.blue is at the top of hackernews and nerds are now arguing about psychophysics and the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. What a time to be alive! https://pic.x.com/v3ksycog7d Replying to @patrickmineault I started following psychophysics, psychophysiology and psychometrics in that sharp rise during the 1960s. There are a LOT more.   https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=psychophysics%2Cpsychophysiology%2Cpsychometrics&year_start=1900&year_end=2022&corpus=en&smoothing=3

Adriano Aguzzi @AdrianoAguzzi  Some friends, accomplished scientists aged >55 and with H-index >100, gave up tenure and moved to industry. Then, the company’s fortunes changed, they lost their job, can’t go back and are too old to start anew. Academia can be annoying but think twice before leaving.
