How Plausible Is ‘#ProjectHailMary’? #Astrophysicists Have Thoughts
Based on hard #sciencefiction, a genre that prioritizes scientific accuracy, the blockbuster gets a lot right but misses a few things, experts say.
Armchair #physicists and even some actual physicists have powered countless online threads with questions around interstellar travel, alien life and why Grace, who has a doctorate in microbiology, can’t seem to balance a centrifuge.

How Scientifically Accurate Is ‘Project Hail Mary’? Experts Weigh In

Based on hard science fiction, a genre that prioritizes scientific accuracy, the blockbuster gets a lot right but misses a few things, experts say.

How Scientists "Guess" the Laws of Nature (Physicist POV)

Any attempt to measure #Infinity merely limits it. The infinite, some call it #God, has said that it is that it is. Even #physicists can understand. 😹😹😹 Right, you're never going to know everything. There is no such thing as knowing Infinity. You can experience it as you do or you can become it.

#physicists #engineers, #electricians and #roofers

I've got a wooden house. A new roof has gone on. After the removing of solar hotwater pipes, there is no longer any path to ground from the corrugated steel roof.
(How do I know? One of the screws cut into a cable and electrified the whole thing. No RCD tripped. Golly.)

Would you strap it to earth? To a sacrificial anode? Neither? What reasoning please? We live on top of a hill and have lovely thunderstorms.

#Physicists dream up ‘spacetime #quasicrystals’ that could underpin universe
Orderly structures that never repeat can exist in melded space and time of Einstein’s relativity
Instead of existing in two or three spatial dimensions, these quasicrystals’ structures would bridge space and time. Although theoretical, the researchers suggest that such spacetime quasicrystals may appear in nature, perhaps even underlying the structure of the universe.

Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

🧑‍🎓 The #subjectofknowledge is part of #observation 🔬 – #scientifictheory rethought 🤔

#NaturalScience is often regarded as an #objectiveDescription of the world. However, even great #physicists such as #WernerHeisenberg and #AlbertEinstein repeatedly emphasized that #scientificKnowledge can never be understood completely detached from the #conditions under which it came about.

#MissKitty #Faith as #mind #technology. Because of course we're way fucking smarter than AI. Help me.🤦🏻‍♀️ Can't prove it to you until I prove it to you & then can't even prove to you what I did, you'll just see manifestations of energy. How are you going to prove #Infinity? #Physicists just hate that.

1/n Notes on #UAP Discussions : This particular exploration is a milestone. If we map what they eventually wind up talking about to vexing questions in current #Physics we have a direct confrontation with #GeneralRelativity, #QuantumMechanics, and the applied mass- energy firewall problem that lies at at the heart of several open problems in #Cosmology and the SM. It should be noted that the intuition of #Engineers in this case is capable of beating #Physicists to the punch.
