I think OP meant more than 5 people when he said a few.

anthropomorphic climate change

>anthropomorphic

>>9254242
It's anthropogenic, not anthropomorphic.

>>9254242
Nice

>Interuniversal Teichmuller Theory
Wait is this that guy a few years ago that submitted his own new math branch for proof-checking? I always wondered what happened to that.

>>9254278
no it's anthropomorphic, you're probably not even a climatologist

allegedly a handful of people understand it (some have given their own exposition of the proof of prime importance: http://www.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~gokun/DOCUMENTS/abc2017Oct.pdf)), but the IUT papers still haven't been published in a journal

>>9254228
What did he said?

Enthalpy

>>9253486
wheel theory

>>9253486
rational trigonometry

>>9254133
I was under the impression string theory was well accepted, could you explain why it's not or what makes it controversial?

>>9254156
Does the theory have Merritt? How would a prion have incubation time?

>>9254304
Prime importance? Seems a
Very odd.

>>9254312
What's contrvesial about this? It's usefulness? a thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the total heat content of a system. It is equal to the internal energy of the system plus the product of pressure and volume.

That's what Google says, don't see a problem, maybe I'm just uninformed.

>>9253486
Who cares about this nerd shit, what happened in the pic?

>>9254342
>could you explain why it's not or what makes it controversial?
no empirical evidence

>>9254357
this desu senpai

>>9254358
I thought that string theory was useful for making predictive models? If it can be used to make an accurate predictive model wouldn't that be evidence for it? Sorry if I'm missing the point, my understanding is limited in this area.

>>9254401
>If it can be used to make an accurate predictive model wouldn't that be evidence for it?
only if you have the technology to gather such evidence

>>9254402
Im under the impresuon that we do with computers and applying it to models of the past.

some metal alloys are ceramics

>>9254415
Is that a problem? Does it really matter much if they are? Why is it controversial?

>>9254346
Not a specialist, but prions are misfolded proteins that aggregate and we know how they kill people because they do it quickly in cases we see. They could also do it very slowly, resulting in tissue atrophy like we see in Alzheimers/Huntingtons, just would have to look in the right places.

>>9254425
I was under the impression that the prions either cuase damage quickly or in a predictable way

>>9254431
Sure, the ones we've consistently studied do. But proteins are one of those things that unless you're an X-ray crystallographer with nothing to do you're not sitting there trying to figure out to what extent they aggregate in vivo. The misfolded proteins collecting over time, resulting in the aggregation like we see in Alzheimers.

>>9254436
Is their proof of these aggregates in patients with Alzheimer's?

>>9254447
amyloid plaques (the things that cause alzheimers) are protein aggregates. http://www.uc.pt/en/fmuc/phdhs/Courses/neurodegeneration/Selkoe__Nat_Cell_Biol-04__AD_PD_review.pdf

>>9254451
I meant of prions specifically, that is for the link though.

>>9254423
There's new materials that behave like ceramics that are alloys of metals and metalloids. Its not really that important, its just that they aren't ceramics. Ceramics are non metallic, so to have 2 "metals" behave like a ceramic is strange.

I don't believe it. You can have ceramics like iron carbide, but its not a ceramic if it consists of only metals. That's why I think these people are stupid. I'm not even 100% sure what compounds are being made, just that I kept hearing about these three TAs and the new Material Science professor instructor talking about it like its fact.

>>9254461
metals make metallic bonds, where there's a "sea of electrons" between the positive metal ions. Ceramics most often, in all cases I'm aware of, have predominantly ionic bonding. That's why I think its highly unlikely these metal-metalloid compounds are not ionically bonded.

>>9254459
yeah in this case the misfolded amyloid subunits would be the prions, because prion are just misfolded proteins. It just happens in this case to be a prion causing the formation of other prions from the same protein source.

which shouldn't even be controversial, just look at the results of any serious research

The entire field of Psychology

It's controversial because It doesn't replicate

>>9254477
that's false tho, look at general psychology to mention one

>>9254477
is it because the studies are not taking simple random samples, but are stacking the sample groups up to prove their hypotheses?
