It spiked high in ‘20 during the lockdown (higher still in ‘10 as part of the crash) so an article from a while back might have been focusing on the unemployment numbers from the last administration

3.1% now https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cpseea10.htm

In that light, it should be unsurprising that the US has an urbanization rate above 80%, while Vietnam’s is under 40% (using my previous countries) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanization_by_sovereign_state

Yes. a study in 1990 found that genetics account for 50 percent of the religiosity among the population — in other words, both identical twins raised apart were more likely to be religious or to be not religious, compared with unrelated individuals. https://www.livescience.com/47288-twin-study-importance-of-genetics.html Search on studies on twins reared apart or studies on separated twins

Which lab? I read that there are two in Wuhan.

I think our nature us to want explanations/answers. We also tend to want neatness. Sometimes we settle for simple and wrong because then no further thought is required.

The numbers are not normalized by cost of living. Rice, for example, costs ~4x as much in the United States as it does in Vietnam. So an expenditure that is 4x higher does not mean they are eating 4x more. https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_price_rankings?itemId=115

That’s nihilism.

The electrons repel each other, too. Any perturbation of the electrons that distort the cloud leaves a charge imbalance. I don’t see why the inverse square law is a problem. Yes, but thermal energy is typically much smaller than the ionization energy, so that’s not a problem unless the temperature is quite high.

The electrons attract nucleus. If you move the electron cloud around, it will drag the nucleus with it.

But such transitions could be induced in collisions

The proton and the electron spins can be aligned or anti-aligned, and you can have correlations of the electron spins. That’s probably how you get the nuclear spin alignment. The lower ground state is F=0, so that’s anti-aligned electron and proton spins. F=1 is higher in energy, corresponding to 1420 MHz (the hyperfine splitting) Cold atoms tend to be in the lower hyperfine state.

The reason QM was not discovered until later on in the timeline of physics is because this connection becomes tenuous as one moves from micro to macro.

Can confirm - we recently discussed how to clamp down on such commentary. It does nothing to move the discussion forward, and only provides opportunity to sidetrack things, with folks who seem prone to tangents.

You still have massless fermions and no evidence of them You’re still posting about an argument between you and a journal.

! Moderator Note FFS, not again. YOU CAN’T ADVERTISE YOUR BOOKS HERE. Do it again and you will be banned. We’re also uninterested in whatever beef you have with a journal or reviewer.

! Moderator Note It’s clear from your presentation that you are the author of this book, and advertising it is against the rules of the forum. The rejection notices are valid; you need experimental evidence to overthrow existing physics, starting with the notion that there are massless fermions (required if they are to move at c) and these are not part of the standard model. While you can propose them (there is such a proposal, called Weyl fermions) they would require experimental confirmation. You are proposing things not consistent with what we observe. Nobody is terrified of anything you have presented.

That’s just ferromagnetism. It’s inherently quantum-mechanical, at its basic level No. Magnetic fields are not an energy source. They do no work. For systems that do work and use magnetic fields, the source is elsewhere. But feel free to calculate the strength of magnetic field needed to give you the force needed to get you moving off the earth. Keep in mind that the dipole field of a magnet drops off as 1/r^3, i.e. faster than that of the gravitational field. (so more than the 1N/kg you need at the surface). This is why a magnet has to be relatively close to an object to lift it. No, it’s not hard at all. Newton’s laws suffice to tell us that you need an external force to cause an acceleration, and Maxwell’s equations limit how much of an attainable force one can get for any reasonable set of parameters. I believe it’s used in solid-state/condensed matter physics because magnetism depends on spin and orbital states, but once you get to what’s happening outside the material, it’s classical all the way.

! Moderator Note Yes, that would be a problem. ChatGPT is not a reliable source, so unless you want to dissect the problems that arise from that, this is a nonstarter.

I don’t understand the relevance. What’s your point. New housing was implied by the post I responded to (I don’t know how you increase housing otherwise), and my comments about doing a lot of construction should have made it clear that it’s what I was talking about. If you aren’t talking about new housing then you are discussing something different, and your comments likely not germane.

! Moderator Note Ultimately my hope is that you will abide by rule 2.8: Preaching and "soap-boxing" (making topics or posts without inviting, or even rejecting, open discussion) are not allowed. This is a discussion forum, not your personal lecture hall. Discuss points, don't just repeat them.

These are new dwellings? I got the impression that they are not. This did not involve subsidies? Net cost covers everything.
