  1. Thanks for letting me down easy. Again. So you read the full study?
  2. Thank you very much for your replies and the links. But I get the feeling that you didn't bother to read the OP article, and might be unaware of the extensive research put into it. It's not a new attempt based on old data, but a comparison between the two models, based on recently discovered shortcomings (of CDM) and (fixed) computational mistakes. Here's a few key excerpts. Comparing CDM and MOND after error correction: Diagrams: Conclusion: The full study: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-8994/14/7/1331/htm Note: Being from a not-English-speaking country I might have chosen some wrong words to describe certain things. Sorry about that.
  3. I'm just the messenger, and wanted the opinions of you fine gentlemen. Sorry for putting this in the wrong section. It sounded like news to me.
  4. https://theconversation.com/dark-matter-our-review-suggests-its-time-to-ditch-it-in-favour-of-a-new-theory-of-gravity-186344 So, the question is: Is Mond good enough to gain consensus favor?
  5. The suggestion I like the most, about the nature of DM, is also the most simple, and least mysterious: Ground state hydrogen https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/71525
  6. Walking around with a loaded gun, makes you a public health risk.
  7. I was referring to the split-second after the big bang, when there were only heat, radiation, quarks and electrons. My hypothesis was that the intense heat, present at that moment, turned into gluons. I was wrong. The math don't work. (Although I am not sure it our current math applies to that specific moment.) But I'm quite sure swansont knows what he's talking about. So I must be wrong.
  8. Due to the enormous distances in space, alien visitors are extremely unlikely. How would they even find us? A lucky coincidence? Nah.... Underground people?! C'mon! To travel back in time violates the laws of nature. That only leaves one option. An option that sounds ridiculous, unless we live in a simulation... That is why option number two got my vote. It seems like woo, but it isn't, in a simulated reality.
  9. Existence, the universe and how nature works, is constantly on my mind. I can't help myself. I just want to learn as much as I possibly can about reality, and I will probably keep wondering about it 'till the day I die. Sometimes I get an idea, that I've never heard about, and I think 'wow, that makes sense', so I google it to see if it's a well known theory. Sometimes it is, sometimes it's not, and sometimes I get nothing. Not even a repudiation. This is one of those. So here goes: Could most of the heat from the big bang have turned into the strong nuclear force? (The rest would then be the CBR.) Thank you, in advance, for taking time to consider my question.
  10. Thank you! So the universe, as a whole, has no geometry?
  11. If the universe has the geometrical shape of a balloons surface, a hollow sphere, does it then have a true vacuum in the middle? Sorry if my question is stupid, but the shape itself is something I've always wondered about. Please don't downrate me.

  13. There is quantum fluctuation, there is zero energy universe, there is M-theory and there is conformal cyclic cosmology. Take your pick. There are plenty of ways to come from nowhere. The universe is not necessarily limited by our need for logic.
  14. I tried to remove the limit on my bittorrent, while downloading, and it showed the bittorrent client taking up to 50% of the CPU. Another 10% went to my firewall, and up to 10% went to "systeminterrupts". qBittorrent: 40-50% Zonealarm: 7-10% Systeminterrupts: 5-10%
  15. My bittorrent is reduced to max 50, which often gives low DL speed. Any lasting solutions?
  16. No. It's the same when I drink water, coffee, red wine, whisky and gin.
  17. I've been having a persistent problem for over a year now. Every time I download something from multiple (40+) peers, my whole system starts lagging fiercely, the cooling fans run berserk and I can hardly control my mouse. It only happens when there are many connections, like in Windows Update or when I download bittorrent files/content (all legal of course!). I've tried updating my LAN and mouse drivers many times. Doesn't help. I've also googled it countless times, but no help there either. Is there any system files, that manages connections, that could be corrupt? I run Windows 10 Home on a Lenovo 81HN V130 i5 laptop.
  18. Yes, I know. Like the surface of a balloon. But once that balloon was small. Once everything was located in a singularity. If you look at this simulation of our universe, there is a place in the middle, where the distance to the furthest away stars is equally long in all directions. Right?
  19. Isn't there a location in the universe, that everything is moving away from? Sort of an expansion "ground zero"?

  21. QuantumT replied to DrmDoc's topic in The Lounge
    Today (well, a few days ago) I learned that, in the observable universe, a quarter of the volume in cubic meters corresponds to the amount of particles with mass: 10^80 I assume it would look something like this as an equation: 0.25 * V = P If this is wrong, blame google 😁
  22. Might I suggest a digital science section? One that addresses reality as virtual. Many might not like it, but it's come to stay, so why not talk about it openly?
  23. One day, Einstein has to speak at an important Science conference. On the way there, he tells his driver, who looks a bit like him: "I'm sick of all these conferences. I always say the same things over and over!" The driver agrees: "You're right. As your driver, I attended all of your conferences and even though I don't know anything about Science, I could give the conference in your place." "That's a great idea!" says Einstein. "Let's switch places then!" So they switch clothes and as soon as they arrive, the driver dressed as Einstein goes on stage and starts giving the usual speech, while the real Einstein, dressed as the car driver, attends it. But in the crowd, there is one scientist who wants to impress everyone and thinks of a very difficult question to ask Einstein, hoping he won't be able to respond. So that scientist stands up and interrupts the conference by posing his very difficult question. The whole room goes silent, holding their breath, waiting for the response. The driver looks at that scientist, dead in the eye, and says: "Sir, your question is so easy to answer that I'm going to let my driver reply to it for me."
  24. The only science that may support a (non divine) creator, or some degree of intelligent design, is digital physics. Creationism and intelligent design is frowned upon by most scientists, but that is because they suggest evidence of a god. With digital physics, God is removed from the equation.
