Itoero

I don't know if it belongs on this forum but perhaps it would be handy if there is a (sub)forum where you can post science related blogs or websites. The promoting of products should still be forbidden. And maybe under the 'Earth science', you can make a sub-forum called 'Global Warming'.

Today I learned about the Scanning Tunneling Microscope. A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is an instrument for imaging surfaces at the atomic level. Its development in 1981 earned its inventors, Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer (at IBM Zürich), the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_tunneling_microscope

I've often read how prenatal testosterone level is a determining factor for being left or richt-handed. Testosterone is known to have an effect on gene expression. This fits with the fact that there are more left-handed boys then girls.http://genetics.thetech.org/ask/ask206

Hello, my real name is not 'Itoero'. The sister of my dog is called 'Itoera' ( a Mountain in Siberia) and I changed it to 'Itoero' because it sounds more manly.

Today I learned about the Honeycomb conjecture. The honeycomb conjecture states that a regular hexagonal grid or honeycomb is the best way to divide a surface into regions of equal area with the least total perimeter. Some examples: Chicken wire, Graphene, carbon nanotube, You can also see this in how cell membrane is ordered, soapbubbels, crystal structure, carbohydrates...

Nein Mann!!!

Where does the -1 curvature comes from? Does it have any experimental value? And are there quantum gravity models that concern 0 or +1 curvature?

Today I learned about the Wallace Line. The Wallace Line (or Wallace’s Line) is a boundary that separates the zoogeographical regions of Asia and Australasia. West of the line are found organisms related to Asiatic species; to the east, mostly organisms related to Australian species. The line is named after Alfred Russel Wallace, who noticed the apparent dividing line during his travels through the East Indies in the 19th century.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_Line

In The Lounge you can discuss anything...

Today I learned that male Chinese hamsters have very large testicles. http://www.noobooweb.com/Chinese_Info

Ok, thx for the explanation. There are imo 2 things that point to the validity of holographic entangled space time, the Kondo effect and the hypothesis that entanglement holds DNA together. -In the Kondo effect, resistivity in a metal rises when it reaches 0 K because of an impurity in the metal. It has been shown that entanglement between conducting electrons or of an electron with its environment causes the rise in resistivity...this many-body entanglement lies at the heart of the Kondo effect. This implies that the entanglement inhibits movement of conducting electrons. This is imo only possible if there is some sort of attraction force between electrons and its environment which inhibits movement. So there is a kind of attraction force between entangled bodies, you might call this quantum magnetism. Another way of saying this is that entanglement reduces the volume between bodies, like Leonard Susskind explained in the video. http://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms12442 https://phys.org/news/2011-06-electrons-entangled.html#jCp -A theoretical model suggests that quantum entanglement holds DNA together, it prevents DNA from breaking apart. Each nucleotide in a base pair is oscillating in opposite directions, this occurs as a superposition of states, so that the overall movement of the helix is zero. In a purely classical model of DNA the helix would vibrate and shake itself apart. So quantum effects are responsible for holding DNA together. There is Quantum Entanglement between the electron clouds of nucleic acids in DNA. This shows there is a kind of attraction force between entangled bodies or between entangled electronclouds....quantum magnetism...just like in the Kondo effect and like Susskind explained...although he did not call it quantum magnetism. https://www.technologyreview.com/s/419590/quantum-entanglement-holds-dna-together-say-physicists/ https://arxiv.org/abs/1006.4053 Spin-entangled electrons might be necessary for this quantum magnetism. What do you think of this? It points to the idea that entanglement holds space together. Space is then volume between entangled particles.

I can imagine it's difficult to explode two times, even for a billiard ball!

Today I learned the first plastic billiard balls had a habit of exploding...they were made with nitrocellulose. https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-earliest-plastic-billiard-balls-had-a-habit-of-expl-1705491374

Very interesting! You can better see a woman's body without (filled) pockets. In order to attract men, it might have been better for women not to have pockets. On a ball, women wear a dress without pockets so you can see every inch of their body. Men wear a costume with pockets... Women put in their purse what men put in their pockets.

Today I also learned a protist is any eukaryotic organism that is not an animal, plant or fungus.

Today I learned about the Kondo effect. Normally, resistance through metals decreases as temperature is lowered, but that is not the case with some metals because the presence of cobalt or other magnetic impurities in the metals. https://phys.org/news/2011-06-electrons-entangled.html#jCp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kondo_effect

If I say something else about elephants, I'll contact you first.🐘

Today I learned there lived a Straight-tusked elephant in the late Pleistocene in Eurasia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-tusked_elephant

According to Leonard Susskind entanglement keeps space together. When you disentangle two regions in space then there appears energy which distorts the space. Energy is mass and mass is a source for a gravitational field which implies a curvature and distortion of the geometry of space by increasing the distance in space or in a sense the volume of space. After disentangling those regions, the released energy will be radiated away and the entanglement will restore itself...and the geometry of space will also be restored. You can turn this around. By increasing entanglement between two regions you reduce the distance in space and you can pull those regions together. What's your opinion on this?

Reality concerns anything that's observable.

The idea that values are not required to have space, is that because of Bell's theorem?

Today I learned there is a retirement home for former prostitutes in Mexico.

How can you know your hand might get burned without a conscious observation? A reflex action is involuntary but the sending of a reflex action can be voluntary or involuntary. When the sending of a reflex action is involuntary then it's pure physical.(brain dead person moves or patellar reflex moves your leg) When it's sent voluntary then it's sent because of a conscious observation...like when a fly observes a swatting device. This is a nice video. The fact that the fly flies away in the opposite direction of the swatter imo shows that it's a conscious choice.

Ok but when a fly flies away because of being swatted then he or she reacts on a conscious observation. When a brain dead person moves or when the patellar reflex moves your leg, its not because of a conscious observation...it's pure physical. It's pure physical :
