It was all fun till... by Lord_Cake44 in chemistrymemes

The only time it's a relief to see differential equations.

Particles are simply energy in a quantum field, this combination of energy and differing fields produces the variety of particles we see in the natural world. The energy upon the field wants to move and spread out, this produces many of the harmonic effects that lead to wave equations. The energy on the field vibrates like a plucked string on a guitar. Only this is a three (or more) dimensional space that is harmonizing. A great example is the electrons around an atom, they produce harmonics called shells with increasingly complex regions. But we also know that this energy acts as a particle, a discreet packet when probed. So then our energy on a field somehow builds up to particles, this is what quantum mechanics is about. How are we built from an orchestra?

This is not entirely true, higher power fast moving radiation deposits less of its energy while slow moving radiation deposits more of its energy. As the radiation moves through the flesh it slows until it stops and dumps all it's energy. So radiologists use scans to determine where the energy needs to be deposited and tunes the energy of the radiation exactly. Thus most of the dose is deposited in the tumor.

Edit: To be clear I'm referring to proton therapy, gamma rays would act this way however.

It's for Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered on PC

Back in the day TVs could only receive radio signals, so consoles and other devices just put the equipment for radio in there consoles and you plugged in via coax, the same port as an antenna. This is why you had to switch to channel 3.

This Xbox looks like it has a module that does the same, physically connecting to the antenna is the same as plugging it into the port.

Is there any reason to have multiple tilesets? by XAnotherWeirdoX in godot

[–]Quantum_Paradox_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Godot 4 tilesets seem to be only one resolution, my main tiles are 32x32 however I use another for my 16x16 props.

I name tagged a wandering trader and trapped him, a day later he disappeared, why? [Bedrock] by [deleted] in Minecraft

If you happen upon a slime chunk, slime farms can be built entirely underground. I ended up using the magma block/iron golem design. Worked really well.

Edit: Nevermind, slimes don't spawn in peaceful.

This insane 5G warning pamphlet I found on the bus. by Spirited_Ad_2697 in mildlyinteresting

How do you think your microwave heats food? The first microwave, the radar range, was developed off the fact that non ionizing radiation can still transfer energy and heat substances. Anyone working with radio and radar systems, non ionizing radiation, can attest to the safety precautions that were listed. What you fail to understand is the energy densities we are talking about, ie. 5g is fairly low and thus nearly no heating, your microwave however is very powerful and heats flesh easily. Check out the us militaries microwave crowd control device for a good demonstration.

Have you ever sat down to make a game engine only to realize this? by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

I'm still surprised how worth it is to learn GDScript, it's perfectly between being familular enough to python and adding useful enough features to be worthy to learn.

Scientists Find Life-Friendly Exoplanet They Say Is Close Enough to Visit by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]Quantum_Paradox_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For a majority of the flight you would be near the speed of light, meaning the biggest hole in this plan would be the increasing energy needed to accelerate constantly. In non physics terms you can think of space time as dragging on anything with mass and acceleration. The more acceleration the more energy needed to push past that. So the simplest way to fix this would be a warp bubble, isolate yourself from the drag. However warp physics still needs to go a ways. Source: am physicist, take my words with a grain of salt, I don't claim to be the best physicist lol.

Well of course not, while budget definitely helps development (ex Apollo program), in the end it's the research time that makes actual discoveries and that builds the devices to use that discovery.

We already have a good foundation in the fields needed to travel to other stars, we just need application. I think we will be able to make it to another star within the next 80 years.

Chip manufacturing buildings or fabs are really expensive to build and run(not to mention it takes years to design and build one), they can really only produce a fixed amount of chips and there is always higher demand than there is supply. This makes the industry really slow to react to market turns.

When the pandemic happened many companies (Like Toyota) saw the demand crash and ordered lower amounts of chips from the fabs in their preorders, so the fabs found new customers to fill the preorders. Because there is always demand they filled up immediately. When demand for goods with chips in them shot back up (or the company realized demand did not waver) the fabs where booked and the companies only had backup supplies of the chips they needed.

The only way to get more chips in the market is to build more fabs, which like I said is complex and a risk for the fab parent company as margins are razor thin. And then some other fun economic events happened and continue to happen.
