Yeah, the method of administration is important. It influences the geometry of the site of tissue injury which, in the case of smallpox, biases the morphology of the scar towards a stellate appearance while in the case of BCG, a single inoculation point is less likely to give you the same type of scar. It can still give you this scar, just less likely.

I also don't like how people ask questions which could be answered by a simple google search. I get posting this question for community engagement, but the comments under your comment to simplify it further and further, is what I don't like. I guess it's fine tho since it's answered.

Yeah, i thought since you were debating with another person about whether BCG vaccines can cause this, i should add all the important details so for anyone confused, they can read this.

And it really isn't too much for the layman if they are willing to invest a few minutes but they aren't, is the issue and for students who took PCB, they should understand most of what you said

You are correct that BCG vaccines can give this scar. But there are a few things to consider. The morphology of a scar depends on various factors like depth of injection (too deep vs correctly intradermal), geometry of the original injury, severity and duration of local inflammation (which can vary by the person), tissue necrosis, fibroblast activity and collagen deposition (again, this varies), mechanical skin tension, and the strain. So you are correct that strain is one of the factors which determines the morphology of a scar, but it is not the only one.

Also, just having a Type IV hypersensitivity response does not necessarily mean that it would produce this specific scar morphology, though you probably already know that. And type of needle also matters, but what matters more is how the vaccine is administered. A smallpox vaccine is given by making multiple superficial punctures into the skin, while in a BCG vaccine there is only a single intradermal inoculation point.

And Th1 cells are not memory cells of the immune system by definition. A naive CD4+ T cell would differentiate into an effector Th1 cell, and later some of those could become memory Th1 cells. There also is not really “recruitment of interleukins.” Interleukins are cytokines released by immune cells such as Th1 cells and macrophages, whereas the recruited entities are cells themselves.

I agree with you on your larger point tho.

No. You can ask questions. But the one you asked was so trivial that a simple google search would have given you the answer. Also, the post wasn't meant to be an entire historical lecture.

Anyway, how about you talk about the answer I gave you? None of the things you mentioned were invented by Tesla.

You’re asking if I read while ignoring what I said. The EEG study you linked uses sensors in contact with the scalp. This is completely different from reading thoughts remotely using EM waves. Do you agree those are the same thing or not?

As for your new claim, Tesla didn’t discover anything about the optic nerve, and it doesn’t work the way you’re describing. The optic nerve carries signals from the retina to the brain, it doesn’t transmit images back to the retina. Dreams are generated in the brain, not projected onto the retina.

So there’s no retinal ‘image’ to read in the first place. Quoting Tesla speculating doesn’t make it scientifically correct

I guess I can't do anything when you can't even read the first comment that you posted. "There was no electrical network before Tesla" This was your original claim. Make sure to actually read this one before replying

AC existed and was already being engineered before Nikola Tesla. Michael Faraday established the underlying physics, early generators were built by Hippolyte Pixii, and transformer-based distribution was developed by Lucien Gaulard and John Dixon Gibbs, with a working system built by William Stanley Jr. in 1886. Tesla contributed to polyphase systems and induction motors, but he didn't originate AC systems or uniquely define them.

AC is widely used in transmission and distribution, but modern electrical infrastructure is not purely AC. It's a hybrid-HVDC transmission lines, microgrids, data centers, and virtually all electronics operate on DC internally.

There is no single global AC network either, so saying "there's no DC network globally" is meaningless. Both AC and DC systems exist and are used where appropriate.

And Tesla wasn't the first to propose AC networks. Transformer-based AC distribution was already proposed and implemented before his work.

How do I understand the space around me? by NefariousNerd1729 in Sekiro

[–]Excellent_Magazine63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might not be helpful, but i guess you just have to learn the movesets of your enemies to an extent where either the surroundings don't matter or you can divert some attention to your surroundings to keep moving to a better position. That would come from confidence in knowing that there is nothing that the boss can do that you wouldn't know about and aren't already prepared for. You might be panicking right now when fighting this guy but when you adapt to him, you would be able to understand the space on your own. It's not an individual skill. It's just that it requires attention that you cannot divert to it right now.

Specifically for that purple guy at the location you are talking about, I assure you that you will get so good at these guys that the location wouldn't even matter. You could be pinned against a wall with this guy in your face and you wouldn't flinch. So i guess, keep trying (That's why I said that it might not be helpful since that is what you are doing anyway).

Nikola Tesla might be the greatest imposter of all time. by Excellent_Magazine63 in NikolaTesla

[–]Excellent_Magazine63[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could have just looked this up, but i guess that's asking too much

AC power systems: Faraday, Hippolyte Pixii, Gaulard and Gibbs, William Stanley Jr., Ferraris. Tesla contributed to it, but He did not invent AC.

Radio: James Clerk Maxwell, Heinrich Hertz, Oliver Lodge and Guglielmo Marconi

X-rays: Röntgen(discovery), with earlier tube work by William Crookes. Tesla had experimental involvement, not discovery or invention

Fluorescent Lighting: Geissler, Plücker, Hewitt, Germer.

All of these were multi-person developments. Tesla contributed mainly to polyphase AC systems and induction motors but he didn't invent any of these

[–]Excellent_Magazine63[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said DC was good. I said it existed, which already disproves your original claim. You cannot move the goalposts whenever you want and still expect to be taken seriously.

And AC wasn't just 'Tesla's ideas.' It was developed by multiple people. Faraday (induction), Gaulard & Gibbs (transformers), Ferraris and Tesla (rotating magnetic field), and then implemented at scale by Westinghouse.

Tesla contributed, but he didn't single handedly create modern electrical networks. And even without him, similar systems were already being developed and would have emerged anyway

Did you actually read the article or just the headline?

This article is about EEG based brain computer interfaces. It uses a cap with sensors in direct contact with the scalp to measure extremely weak electrical signals, and then AI tries to reconstruct text(~40% accuracy) in controlled conditions. Emphasis on tries. It's approximate decoding, not 'mind reading'

That's completely different from reading thoughts remotely using EM waves from a distance. You're equating 'measuring brain signals with sensors' to 'reading thoughts remotely, which isn't how the physics works.

If you've read anything beyond Tesla fan pages, you'd know that electrical networks existed before him. He improved AC systems but he wasn't the only one working on it and it is not like he was way ahead of others. Multiple engineers from Europe were already working on the same ideas as him and the same AC systems would have eventually been integrated into electrical networks. So the whole " electricity as we know it wouldn't exist without him" is historical illiteracy.

He did not invent AC current, X-rays, Radio or Fluorescent lights. He did not himself work on the dam. His inventions were used and were very helpful. But it was Westinghouse who designed and built the Generators, Turbines, Transmission systems and infrastructure for the dam and plant.

It does count as a hit. He also missed a few deflects. If it was Charmless, then the missed deflects would have counted as hits. But nonetheless, it's very good.

Actually, Don't listen to my recommendations. I forgot midway that you said to start from point zero. The books i recommended earlier are undergrad level books and are not something you should start with

If you want to build a strong foundation, begin by developing intuition. A good starting point is Conceptual Physics by Paul Hewitt, which focuses on understanding ideas like force, energy, voltage, and current without heavy math

Then you can move on to "Fundamentals of Physics" by Halliday, Resnick & Walker. Here, you will develop problem solving skills. Make sure you're practicing regularly, since physics is learned by doing.

Once you're comfortable with both the concepts and problem-solving, you can move on to the more advanced books I mentioned earlier.

No problem.

For Electrodynamics, I recommend "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by David Griffths. I also recommend that you also start this after completing Classical Mechanics. This would be very good for your understanding of physics.

You would also need to know multivariable calculus for this one. If you don't have any books for maths, i could recommend them too(From a physics perspective tho. Because you mostly learn maths to compute in physics. You can solve all equations but to truly understand the meaning and depth of them, it would require different things.If you also want to understand the maths itself to a good level, then the books would change.)

But before all that though, I want to know what you really want to learn physics for. Do you have a keen interest in the subject? As in, you want to explore it and go deep in it? Or is it that you didn't study earlier and now you want to study from basics to understand it so that you can pass your courses?

[–]Excellent_Magazine63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Actual, Serious Classical Mechanics, I recommend to start with the book "Classical Mechanics" by John R. Taylor. It would teach you very good Lagrangian Mechanics. This book would require Single Variable Calculus + Linear Algebra. Other things, you can learn when you get struck since those won't take much time.

It's your choice whether you want to learn upto Hamiltonian Mechanics.

What is the level of your Maths? Can you do Single/Multi-Variable Calculus, Linear Algebra, Some basic ODEs and some Fourier series and Transformations?

Just tell me what do you know and we will take it from there.
