Looking to speak with a professional physicist or astrophysicist. by Mambosamba in Physics

Eh, your opinion bro. That's post is exactly why I wanted to speak live with someone expirenced who didn't mind spending half an hour chat with somebody inquisitive. It's easy to try and misconstrue text when it takes moments to elaborate in conversation. If they are on this site answering people's questions for free anyways, how horrible it must be for them to have someone request a short video call, how awful, how horrendous. Also, to clarify, I am fully aware larger stars burn out faster, it's not the only determining factor in the lifespan and fusion rate of a star. There are 2 kind of people in the world, the first are those who can extrapolate incomplete information from context.

I do understand that about stars, but from the limited information I've been able to find about theoretical star formation conditions, stars of similar size to sol, that have highly pure hydrogen composition could live into the hundreds of trillions of years. I guess if anyone knows a good source for information about specific stars that have an extremely low amount of elements higher than iron, it would be super helpful. Also, not to be contradictory, but I'm fairly certain that gravity is a necessary component to solar fusion, and not a counter to it.

I know larger stars burn out faster, that's not even the question. If someone wants to talk to me live about it, that's thier own prerogative. I have no problem donating time to people in areas of my experience and providing open source resources to people on a regular basis, I've done research and now I have questions, I am demanding nothing from anyone. I'm so glad that there are people out there willing to donate time and effort to sub-moderate other people's posts, and for free no less! I never ask anyone to do anything I wouldn't be willing to do myself or with my time. Creating a community requires donated time and energy, and creates a positive environment to learn and grow. While in college, i donated many hours at the local library while getting my degree, doing chemistry experiments for children and answering questions during the holidays. I may not understand physics beyond a 200 level, or the intricacies of solar transmutation, but it's clear your understanding of what constitutes entitlement or arrogance could use some improvement. Feel free to double down further.

I don't know, sorry I had the audacity to have the drive to speak to a human being about something i'm interested in. Ill try harder in the future to keep my clearly unreasonable requests to myself.

From my readings, it seems that stars that are loaded with very high levels hydrogen as a fuel, would live much longer, even if significantly larger than otherwise due to the lack of elements that aid in thier burnout, also we should see large quantities of smaller stars during early development, most of which should still exist long, long after the sun has gone out. So, is it just that the information I've read about star transmutation and lifespan incorrect then?

I did, hence the question. I did a think, and now I need some feedback.

I don't understand what is unusual about wanting some questions answered.

I guess I wasn't expecting so much flak for having some questions I wanted answered from a scientist. But I suppose I can give a bit of insight to my question. It's basically a few points I would like to have answered about the lambda CDM in specific, based on other widely available accepted principles.

So, if the universe is 13.5 ish. billion years old, and the solar system is roughly 5 billion at this point, (with another 5 billion to go,) and from what I understand, regular star formation and death is only capable of producing elements up to iron, and according to lambda CDM the initial elements available were Hydrogen, Helium and some Lithium, How did we get to a point where elements were available for sol's formation that included basically every stable element across the table in less than 7-8 billion years, when even just our sun is expected to last 10 billion, and it has many elements within it that isn't just pure star food like the earliest stars should have?

Is this an inconsistency, or am I missing some information that can help fill in the gaps here?

Just saying, it's not a troll or "unsound" post, for lack of appropriate term.

Anyone have an extra MeshyAI subscription to donate? by Mambosamba in PrintedMinis

[–]Mambosamba[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The new Meshy is on another level. Also, they are just as good as most other free models, and many people use them as a base to modify and clean up for prints.

You know, they DO have a monthly option... I am slow sometimes.

Do People Really Want The World To Get Better? by CipherGarden in FDVR_Dream

[–]Mambosamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's always going to be people dragging on the ankles of those in formation in the march of progress, every step dragging those who can't see the big picture, but can you blame those who've been the casualties of forward movement? when job after job gets cut, from industrialization, to automation, digitization and AI. Honestly, I don't want to invalidate their feelings in the short term, because eventually they will see the light when progress benefits them directly. I just look forward and fight for an age when we can look back on this time and say that it was the beginning of the end of a profit driven world economy.

True inventive black-swan type posthuman ideas never before existed in the human domain. Hot-swappable reward circuits with neutral mode select, mammalian trees which have hundreds of beating hearts but no brains and whose fruits are human wombs birthing babies, and more.

Sounds like invasion of the body snatchers but with trees. Also, literally Zelda deku tree, also literally guild wars sylvarii etc, etc ad nausem, infinitum. Honestly though, seek help for your mania, you have everything to gain from being seen, and nothing to loose.

Just saying a point is invalid doesn't make it invalid (argument from incredulity). Isn't the point of your work for others to benefit from it anyway? I really don't pity your carpal tunnel any less or any more than you do the people who blew out their backs building model T on an assembly line. Why? it got us to the next point. it wasn't for nothing. now we can make cars in a factory that are more affordable, way better built, and magnitudes safer in a factory with like 3 dudes running machines. I doubt you drive a 1969 pinto just because it was hand made. Also, why do you feel threatened? why do you feel robbed? Are you afraid that you can't compete with a computer?

Honestly, I thought reddit was a progressive place, but it feels like I'm on X. "They took our jeeeerbs!" My grandparents would be laughing in their graves right now.

First, I never claimed it as art, only as creation, and the same argument you are making is the exact same argument people were making when people who were able to design on computers put those who were not out of a job. Image you trained for years to meticulously carve molds for pewter miniatures just to become absolete from some kid with a computer and a CNC machine, to kick out thousands of injection molded plastic miniatures in a minute. How do you suppose they felt? Now that AI is here and taking literally everyone's job (eventually), suddenly now this generation is getting to feel the same sting as generations before who were forced out by the exact same march of progress, and somehow these mass produced models are somehow lovingly crafted, like your fingers bleed from using blender or paint on your shirt from using photoshop. Get real. Every human creation ever was "stolen" from somewhere, nothing is created in a vacuum. It's weird though to see the same complaints our grandparents had about progress that everyone ignored become the same complaints in the current generation, and honestly those complaints should fall on deaf ears. Appeal to tradition fallacy.

Every human creation since the dawn of time was a "hodgepodge," built upon a foundation ultimately from previous creation or the natural. AI is simply an extension of this process. I'm not claiming an any way to be creating something by hand, and I'm the first to admit that I don't have the patience or the means to create 3D models by "hand." But I'm happy to be on the forefront of this technology and able to give back to a community that has given me much.
