What actually is space? /sci/
niggas will tell you it’s a 4D manifold, a metric, a vectorfield or whatever... basically just descriptive abstract math shit. or That it's “nothing” but also “expands.” That it has no substance but can bend, ripple, and carry waves. That light redshifts not because it loses energy, but because “space itself stretches.” Don’t ask what stretches. Don’t ask what it stretches into. dont ask how space is connected.

what a load of barnicles...
Modern physics has no clue what space is. maybe space has mass, maybe space is just baseline potential for mass. the jews dont really know even if they claim they do. yet all of their gay theories are built on shit like spaces and fields which they do not really understand.

Stupid question, but light is "electromagnetic radiation". But what part of light is "electromagnetic"? I heard it's supposed to be fluctuations of the E and B fields but I don't really understand what that's supposed to mean or if that's even right. Does it interact w/ electric and magnetic fields? If I have a really strong current or electric field, can I use it to affect the trajectory of light? I know that electromagnetic interactions are supposed to be mediated by photons but what exactly does that mean?

"no emp" "fake" /sci/
4chan says EMP would have destroyed the cellphones so it's fake
Copilot said

That claim is misleading—cellphones can survive a nuclear EMP, especially if they’re not connected to power or shielded by surrounding materials. So footage of a nuclear-like explosion captured on phones is not automatically fake.
Why Cellphones Can Survive an EMP

EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) from a nuclear blast can damage electronics, but the effect depends on:

Altitude of detonation: High-altitude bursts produce widespread EMP; ground-level blasts have more localized effects

.

Distance from the blast: EMP strength drops with distance. A phone several miles away may experience little to no disruption.

Shielding: Phones in pockets, cars, or buildings are partially shielded from EMP effects

.

Not plugged in: Devices connected to power grids are more vulnerable. A phone running on battery is less likely to be damaged

.

Real-World Testing

A 2022 study by SEMPRE and Jaxon Engineering found that commercial smartphones like the iPhone 12 and Galaxy S21 Ultra survived EMP testing

.

These tests suggest that modern phones have some resilience, especially when not exposed directly or when shielded.

Why 4chan Might Say It’s Fake

Trolling culture: 4chan often spreads misinformation or oversimplified “debunkings” to stir debate.

Gatekeeping: Dismissing footage as fake based on flawed logic is a way to control narratives or mock outsiders.

Misunderstanding EMP physics: Many assume EMP is an instant, universal electronics killer—this is a Hollywood myth, not scientific reality

.

Bottom Line

Footage of a massive explosion, even one resembling a nuclear blast, can be real and captured on cellphones. The presence of video doesn’t disprove the event—it just means the conditions weren’t sufficient to fry nearby electronics.

A function maps one input to one output... but why don't we make this bi-directional? A function must map an output to exactly one input.

This seems like it would make it much easier to reason about things if outputs are unique.

Phase Conjugation and Time Travel /sci/
Is the conjugate wave in an optical phase conjugation rig actually going back in time? I've read some things by otherwise reputable people that indicate that there is indeed some sort of actual time reversal going on, and not just "how the math works out, but not a real effect". It also seems like a lot of these "anomalously dispersive materials" that support phase conjugation also produce other weird effects (looking at you Bose-Einstein and Fermionic Condensates) like superluminal propagation through the medium.

>muh causes
>muh effects
>muh causality
You realize this is pure head canon, right? You can't demonstrate that something "makes" something else happen. You can't even explain what it means for anything to "cause" something. All you can do is observe a recurring sequence of events and fill the logical gaps between them with this mysterious "causality".

Consider how differently a murderer, a pathologist and a cellular biologist see a victim's cause of death: for one, the death was caused by stabbing the victim in the neck; for the other it was caused by a ruptured carotid artery; for the last, it was maybe some cascade of necrotic cellular processes. Each one will treat his "X causes Y" just-so story as an adequate and objective explanation, oblivious or indifferent to its failure to completely rule out other conceivable outcomes.

No matter how much you drill down, the logical gap between your causes and their supposed effects never goes away. You can never logically demonstrate that the effect follows from the cause the way a conclusion follows from a premise, except by way of extra premises that are circular or defeasible.

China's population is about 500 million /sci/
There is no possible way that China's population is as big as they claim it is. In 1979 China instituted the "1 child policy" which set their birth rate to a maximum of 40% of replacement level and at that time China's population was 960 million according to the CCP, which was also doubtful since the country's population was supposedly 500 million in 1950 when the CCP took over and subsequently they suffered "The great famine" for 3 years in which 100 million died, so the 960 million figure in 1979 also seems like a probable overstatement, but even if it were true, the one-child policy would've meant a decline in population following 1979. Furthermore the country has seen practically no immigration while millions have fled China.
So there is no possible way their population swelled to the over 1.4 billion the currently claim.

Can /sci/ estimate what China's current population really is?

plants evolved from animals /sci/
plants evolved from first multicellular animals, thats why both are multicellular

fungi did this too

multicellularity began only once

this also explains why all three have so similar form:

>primitive cnidarians look like plants
>fungus look like primitive animals altough non moving
>plants resemble the animals the most
>first multicellular animals branch like trees

what went different is that plants have those chloroplasts to use light as a source of energy, this didnt happen in fungi or animals

the chromosomal DNA (not inside mitochondria) was at first the same for animals, plants and fungi, and this DNA is what creates the form, hwich is why all three look like plants

much much later evolution gave a head region to animals (fish, insect) and they became radically different from plants and fungi, in form

Fun Fact: The earth has rotated 4 trillion times since it formed /sci/
Earth is about 4.54 billion years old. The average day length has increased over time due to tidal friction. Early Earth rotated much faster, estimated 5 to 6 hours per day.

Using a rough integration of changing day length over geologic time:

~4.5 billion years ago: ~5 h days ~1,752 days per year

Today: 24 h days 365 days per year

Average across history: about 900–1000 days per year

Total rotations ≈ average days/year × years = (≈950) × (4.54 × 109) ≈ 4.3 × 1012 rotations.
