  1. If you didn't mean planets, you shouldn’t have said planets.
  2. You said planets. The sun is a star, the moon is, well, a moon, and Saturn’s rings are…rings. The question should be why Uranus and Neptune were excluded
  3. Why should it not go in speculations? That’s where things called ”a theory of everything” go. The Lounge is for personal things.
  4. “Scientists have developed a breakthrough “superfood” for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in pollen. In controlled trials, colonies fed this specially designed diet produced up to 15 times more young, showing a dramatic boost in reproduction and overall health. As climate change and modern agriculture reduce the availability of natural pollen, this innovation could offer a practical way to support struggling bee populations.” https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260327000518.htm
  5. Right, there are plenty of example where scientists are the ones sounding the alarm and being ignored by business executives and politicians. Blaming scientists in general is IMO a misplaced attack (and the irony of an accusation of failing to do due diligence is not lost)
  6. Who is saying this, and what exactly did they say? i.e. provide quotes and, as exchemist requests, links
  7. “M2 Ultra chip for phenomenal performance 24-core CPU” https://www.adorama.com/apple-mac-pro-m2-ultra-chip-tower-desktop-computer/p/acz1jz000qr
  8. Are those used in Macs, as I had specified?
  9. It’s not 4x the cores My mac’s CPU has 8 cores; I think their top of the line these days is 24. According to Nvidia, a GPU has thousands. One thousand is more than 40x. (40 x 24 = 960) https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/why-gpus-are-great-for-ai/ So “thousands” would be ~100x the number of cores
  10. This started out with a purported statement of fact; disagreement about its veracity is not mere opinion Further, while the offending statement was opinion, the point is that it was inappropriate to share the opinion. Agreement or disagreement isn’t part of it. Irrelevant Bigotry has to do with motivation. I’m not sure what allegedly was based on e.g. race, religion or gender, which would make it bigotry, unless you are claiming that your own posts were motivated by this.
  11. What you said, exactly, was “so, obviously you have not learnt anything!” An answer that the claim was wrong would have been OK. Better still, an explanation of why it was wrong. People have been known to accept that they are wrong about factual matters when it’s demonstrated that they are. Discussion here is predicated on that. I’m not sure what the connection is with “stupid English society” I do not; I have no idea how this is “bigotry”
  12. Moderator NotePosts should be about the topic, not personal attacks. You’ve been warned about this before, so you obviously haven’t learned anything about that.
  13. Assertions and claims aren’t evidence. “Despite being largely preventable, chronic conditions now account for over globally, according to Vox. In the US, live with at least one chronic condition, and 4 in 10 have two or more, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). With the numbers rising year after year, many experts are now calling this a silent epidemic.” A single data point does not show a trend, there’s no data presented to support the claim that the numbers are rising, and even if that were just accepted as fact, there’s no analysis of other factors that could be responsible for an increase. That’s what “no evidence” means. I would go into more detail but I have no confidence that you are interested in a good-faith discussion Which has nothing to do with scientific claims, though being fan of a troll is utterly unsurprising to me.
  14. As exchemist notes, this is a conspiracy theory. Where’s the evidence? *offer not valid in the USA But when you’re booked solid, and patients need to book a couple of months ahead of time, there’s no incentive to make more sick people.
  15. People are supposed to be able to participate in discussion without clicking links, and discussion in a civil manner (i.e. without personal insults) is expected. The source is crap and not based in science (maybe it’s philosophy, of dubious quality) and your premise is unsubstantiated, so the real question is why did you post this in physics? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kybalion Classical woo, seeing as The Kybalion is allegedly based on ancient Greek ideas
