I'll take a more innocent name for my research like the NMR people who created the Proton Enhanced Nuclear Induction Spectroscopy

I do agree to some level. It seems to create some internal ethical conflict in people. The arguments for why dictatorships are bad are not applied to companies and the other way around.
I always thought this was extra clear among right-"libertarians" who often seem to have a very hard time not arguing for an anti-democratic state.
I think it would have been good to not only have the absolute numbers, but also the numbers for changes in wealth and debt too.
Is there not also a way to disallow empty variables in the script, I think it is set -u
? Then you don't have to keep thinking "should I add a :?
here because if empty it may lead to disaster" all the time. Might be even safer.
Jeff just has a really good claim that he has lost a nuke. Share a beer with Jeff and he'll tell you the story. Even managed to convince CNN to put him down for -1<10.
I was tutoring maths to students enrolled in the economics program at a uni. And... Wow. Yeah...
I cannot even agree to that. Like I get that the settings takes minutes to reload after a reboot. And I need to get in there because it always resets my mouse speed to the slowest possible. But I cannot change it because there are no settings for the mouse directly after a fresh boot! It is so absurd.
Well... And so can scalars, sure, like in string theory where scalar fields represent various kinds of aspects of geometry of the extra dimensions. But they are, also this scalar, dynamical fields (which the CC is not) and these fields would correspond to "particles". You couple this field to all the other fields of the SM and you get interactions, you have particles. Its a particle.
This is why I know this is generally a problem, in string theory you have all these scalars that comes from compactification, you need to explain why they are not seen by experiments = make them heavy. Otherwise you get new particles, new forces, lots of physics that is not real.
Sure. In model building like this I would assume that you'd make the particle heavy to explain absence from experiments, or you'd make it couple in strange ways. Do the authors here do either? Higgs was hard to find because a little bit of both, dark matter is from the couplings entirely (no coupling to the SM). The scalar, I assume, is not dark matter (that is the claim here), so it must couple to SM so unless heavy it most likely should have shown up at LHC. It is a similar problem, but not the same. If it is the couplings and not the mass that should explain the absence then is there anything in the model that would give a hint to how it couples to anything in the SM? I doubt it, because this is basically pure GR work from what I understand, and not QFT. But, I don't know, I'm just being sceptical here.
Well, guess what the Λ in ΛCDM is? They just put it in there to be able to fit the theory to the observation. And it's absurd to say, that they would've found that in the LHC, when they also did not find dark matter particles, even though they are actively looking for those.
Kind of, but also not really. It is a bit different to add a CC which we can implicitly measure the size and equation of state of instead of adding a scalar which we observationally only have a lower bound on the mass on (from not being found in LHC). If their fit makes the mass very high, then they are fine is all I'm saying. The CC and dark matter are different, so yeah, it... would be strange to ask to find the CC att LHC because it did not find dark matter...? What?
It's quite common for research groups to do this, because their work is quite complex and takes time. They proved that their approach might have some merit and now other groups can help them going forward with it.
Absolutely. This is perfectly fine. I'm just saying with how far this direction has come right now, I'm not convinced, but that shouldn't mean much :-)
Just some superquick thoughts...
Regarding "TL" from wikipedia:
Despite periodic re-examination of the concept, tired light has not been supported by observational tests and remains a fringe topic in astrophysics.[4]
It is not very reliable to use a component to build a model that has "no support from observations". This is a theoretical result, I don't mind them doing this work, one needs to do these things to understand the various aspects of a problem.
From one of Gutas papers, re. "CCC" (I think they are referencing the "CCC" here at least):
A scalar-tensor theory of gravity is considered [...]
Yeah, it is not generally a good idea to just throw in more components, like here a scalar. I'm guessing it cannot be the inflaton, since it is has to matter for late-time cosmology, so they either have to explain why this scalar has not been found by the LHC or that it is the Higgs. Maybe they do?
The paper linked in the article is also about fitting some cosmological data. Does it still explain galaxy rotations? What about other cosmological data, like equation of state parameter and such?
I'd say this is very teoretical work, on some quite unstable legs. I would not throw out the ΛCDM+dark matter just yet.
Earth's surface is 71% water, otherwise this seems to assume some flooded hollow earth conspiracy theory too.
Having used gentoo for quite some time, there have been several occations where my network broke because the changing names and naming conventions of the network interfaces.
It does not only dictate your professional life/status in Germany, being a doctor, your social as well. Someone I know got a postdoc in germany, no luck finding a place to live until they started asking their german collegues to call and saying "doctor so-and-so is looking for an appartment". So, he gets one. The guy has a very long full name, so the nametag the landlord is gonna put on the postbox is way to long, but if you cut off the part where it says he is a doctor, it would fit. He insists to cut that part away, the landlord just refuses, says fuck your name and person basically, and cuts off part of his last name instead. Saying you are a doctor gets you first in fucking everything (maybe not lufthansa, then they just say 'senators' or something). Extremely class divided social society that.
It's a plot by Big Math.
Yeah, I don't get why the meme is about vim instead of ed. https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html
NMR is also not a great abriviation for a Swedish person, Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen (nordic resistance movement) and is a neo-nazi cult-like organization.
