You are ignoring that there have been past cases where predicting that some sort of difficult to see matter exists, in order to make the equations balance out right, has turned out to be a valid solution. See

Neptune was basically a 'dark planet' for decades until astronomers managed to spot it directly; likewise neutrinos were 'dark particles' for a similar amount of time. Given that looking for hard to detect objects to make the math balance has worked out multiple times in the past, why is it bullshit to consider that as an explanation for a similar problem?

>>11406223
I would argue that the observation that expansion of the universe is accelerating does constitute extraordinary evidence. When we see that things accelerating, that requires energy. Supposing that there is some sort of energy accelerating the universe's expansion is not exactly a big logical leap.

Likewise, supposing that there could be a bunch of particles like neutrinos, but even harder to detect, as an explanation for why stars rotate around (most) galaxies in an unusual fashion is not much of a stretch either. The other alternative is that gravity behaves differently at very large scales. Now ask yourself, what sort of things would you look for that would be different between these two theories? For example, in the modified gravity theory all similar sized galaxies would have stars showing the same weirdness in their orbits; under the dark matter theory you might find similar sized galaxies where the stars orbits act differently, as if some have extra amounts of dark matter, and some have little. Or you could see if gravitational lensing matches up with the visible matter.

>>11406581
I don't believe that the universe is expanding in the first place.

Also the new particle thing seems pretty far fetched. If they're small like neutrinos and have the gravitational power required they'd have to be unrealistically dense. Unless they derive their force from something(?) else.

>Bear eugenics, then bear slavery
Let the bears be, dude. There is enough humans to enslave, and we will soon not be needing much slaves anyway.

But what if they rebel? Imagine a slave race of ultra-ruskies turning against their masters. To call it a bloodbath would be inadequate, perhaps a blood flood would be more accurate.

Really depends, wuhan is high because it's the birthplace and nobody was ready. If you look at other province the death rate is a bit much more slower. Fujian has one death for 156 recover. Guangdong has 5 death for 720 recovery. Wuhan is the only place in the world with a 2k for 20k recovery.

It does raise the question that there might be more case in wuhan if it was to fit the ratio. You can't extrapolate that much because you have to consider that they didn't have proper infrastructure.

That's why a pandemic in south asia or africa is scary for the WHO.

Race specific immunity is a thing but it has to come about through an evolved immunity. For example the Aztec empire and the new world was wiped out by deseases that Europeans are for the most immune to. That's because the Europeans without immunity were killed off centuries before and the ones that survived passed on genetic immunities.

Something like 15% of all European descendents still today have total immunity to yersinia pestis (bubonic plague) whereas someone who has no European or asian descent is basically guaranteed to die 100% without treatment if they caught it today. Of course the European immunity rate would of been much higher than that centuries ago, it's part of the reason the bubonic plague didn't keep destroying Europe with the same ferocity as it did during the 14th century (the plague never went away it still exists)

Coronovirus's and infuenzas don't develop that same type of racial immunity because they just don't kill enough of the people they infect for it to make a difference. The Spanish influenza had the highest deathrate of all these types of viruses and it was still only 10%. The Spanish flu was deadly because it could trigger cyklo storms where the immune system goes into beast mode and can end up attacking your body and killing you. That's why young adults died to Spanish flu and not just people with weak immune systems. This coronovirus doesn't do that.

The reason only chinks are dying is because the foreigners who catch it are healthy and have healthy immune systems so catching coronovirus for them isn't much different than catching a seasonal flu. Usually only healthy people travel, whereas any boomers or babies in wu haun are at severe risk.

It depends on which subscription of the cognitive theoretic model of the Inter-universal Teichmüller you find most sensible. There is really only one answer to the dialectic, but understanding all permutations is obviously not in the scope as of yet. Any other view is certainly self-aggrandizing poppycock. For now just settle with knowing either and neither is right while the pioneers finish their work.

I feel that doing lsd at a young age can be good or bad, it truly doesnt depend on your age and depends more on your mental muchority, I did my first tab when I was 15 and I think it changed my life for the better.

I feel pretty much the same.

I think the reason for this 'enlightenment' is because LSD gives you more perspective on your mind. I'd compare it to seeing group from high up or your planet for the first time, learning new part of math like abstract algebra, set theory or calculus. Everyone knows how earth looks from its surface, how to do simple calculations or solve simple physical problems, but when you experience these things I've mentioned you can suddenly look past all your previous believes, misconceptions, lies and see things from new, much broader perspective. I think LSD works in similar manner, it puts your mind into such an alien headspace, you are virtually see and encompass all your usually thought patterns. It's like looking from third person perspective at yourself and your life, in a way that is much less subjective. It's like getting an life advice from friend when you are troubled, but the friend knows 100% about you. For me LSD seems like it's able to neutralize any and all kinds of delusions(in very broad sense) I experience, both consciously and subconsciously like from the sole fact of looking at world subjectively.

Also dropping 200ug tomorrow, wish me luck!

>more closely packed transistors make a faster computer.
higher density makes the computer smaller not faster. The key factor is the number of transistors. Bad analogy for the point you're trying to make
You could make a moder computer using enough vacuum tubes, the problem is the energy, space required, and reliability

>>11404345
Shorter wire lengths between transistors allow for higher clock speeds because the wires[in silicon] have a natural capacitance.
