>The idiot physicists, unable to come up with any wonderful Greek words anymore, call
this type of polarization by the unfortunate name of ’color’, which has nothing to do
with color in the normal sense.
--Feynman, Richard (1985), QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter.

Can /sci/ do better in naming the charge of QCD?

 >> Anonymous Mon Mar 8 01:34:23 2021 No.12805478 Here's the background: in QED, there is one charge, which we're all familiar with, the electric charge. Mathematically we can call the charge C, such that using + to denote its regular charge and - to denote its anticharge:[eqn]C^+ + C^- = 0[/eqn]In other words, a charge added to its corresponding anticharge yields 0 charge, or neutral. Compactly, we just call these charges $+$ and $-$. Moving on to QCD, we have three charges which function in the following way:[eqn] \begin{align}C_1^+ + C_1^- &= 0 \\C_2^+ + C_2^- &= 0 \\C_3^+ + C_3^- &= 0 \\C_1^+ + C_2^+ + C_3^+ &= 0 \\C_1^- + C_2^- + C_3^- &= 0\end{align}[/eqn]Where the first three equations represent simple mesons, which follow the rules we expect: charge plus anticharge equals neutral. The last two equations represent baryons, with the first representing real baryons and the second being anti-baryons. Now three "positive" charges yield a neutral charge. Feynman called these physicists idiots for calling it color. What say you, /sci/? Any better names?
 >> Anonymous Mon Mar 8 01:39:25 2021 No.12805487 >>12805476“color” is actually a great name. the fact that “white” and “anti-white” and “colorless” all mesh with this idea is very clever. Murray Gell-Mann was a very thoughtful guy

 >> Anonymous Mon Mar 8 01:09:10 2021 No.12805441 >>12805434absolutely not. the quark-gluon plasma is something that folks at LHC and RHIC have made and can see things like “quenched jets” coming out from. the fact that they can see things that are coming from deep within proves they are not black holes, since black holes emit random hawking radiation that does not reveal internal structure. (or, alternatively, black holes emit information from inside but it is extremely “scrambled” and would not at all resemble the clear picture of things we see coming out of heavy ion collisions)

would the inverse square law exist in a 2d reality?

 >> Anonymous Mon Mar 8 00:50:34 2021 No.12805404 >>12805395well a version of it would exist—field lines would expand out evenly from a source. but in 2D they spread out over a circle instead of a sphere, and the circumference of a circle is 2*pi*r as opposed to spreading out over a sphere (4*pi*r^2) so in 2D you get an inverse law instead of an inverse square law

If anything has been proven by this pandemic, science under the influence of any sort of political entity "left" or "right" is dangerous and causes harm to people. What is a way we can make the utilization of the scientific method as sacred as religion is treated? No more taxes on research centers and no more funnelling of money to get biased studies? State your thoughts.

"Popularization of Science" makes this problem worse by increasing the extent to which people trust assertions they cannot verify and often couldn't if they wanted to. For all most people know, data that they see could just be fabricated, and techniques for spotting fabricated data can simply be finessed away by a more state of the art means of data fabrication. There is literally no reason for 99.9% of the population to trust the vast majority of published output from any field. Mathematics is an exception, but only about 5% of anybody in the entire western world would be able, even in theory, to understand the proof structures of research-level mathematics from front to back if they were given to them.Quite literally, the most confidence that the public can have in anything close to something resembling "science" is that the literal technology they interact with every day seems to work reasonably well. That whoever made computer, car, and building components seems to know generally what they are doing. To surmise that the "general public" can possibly be "informed" about the epidemiology of COVID-19, or the effects of proposed economic stimulus packages, or the consequences of geopolitical strategies is a total delusion, and it is a "problem" for which there is no solution.

That means he opposed atomism, opposed heliocentrism, opposed inertia, opposed off-center orbits, and made up a bunch of reasonable sounding nonsense about "nature abhors a vacuum" and other things. He supported the hierarchical society, and explained that you were born a slave or born a freeman, "if you're a slave, it's in your genes", people would say nowadays.But his book on physics does clearly separate the notions of "material cause" and "final cause", and this is an advance. The modern version is that you can separate between the material motion of the atoms and the computational goals of a biological system. This is the only idea I could find in Aristotle that is salvageable.
 >> Anonymous Mon Mar 8 02:23:54 2021 No.12805548 >>12805501When Galileo dropped balls in the 16th century, the Aristotle prediction was that a ball 10 times as heavy would fall 10 times as fast. When the balls were dropped, the ball which was 10 times as heavy hit the ground “a few fingerwidths” ahead of the light ball. The Aristotelians saw in those few fingerwidths confirmation of their theory, because they did not go by observation. That's the kind of stupidity people called "physics" in that time.

You have a pen and paper, and you try to reproduce the results, you read in detail where the stuff gets messy and you couldn't come up with it. The coming up with it is the most important, because eventually you'll be able to come up with 90% of the book yourself, and you are reading quickly, looking for the missing 10%.

The main differences in human brain tissue is the larger size relative to the body, and the noncoding RNA expressed. Mammals have retrotransposons which are active in brain tissue, and humans have a different set of retrotransposons than monkeys, as these are very quickly evolving unstable genomic features, and they are likely dynamically changing during the lifetime of an individual. The molecular signatures don't show up as anatomy, but they change the character of the computation involved, if that computation is intracellular, which it pretty obviously is. This is where one should look for the source of the extraordinary cognitive abilities of humans. Stop posting frogs.
