I have been enlisted in the marines, gotten recalled, worked as a contractor, finished my undergraduate degree and now looking at my PhD. This post just made me 16 again.

SHUT UP

Alright, show me your eyebrows

I want this on the fridge so we can put a magnet on the current mood.

That's some good 1984 right there

All models are wrong, some models are useful. A model that is 100% correct is just reality. Science and physics boils down to observation followed by explanation which comes in the form of modeling.

New physics started when plank discovered quantization while integration raleigh-jean and weins laws for blackbody radiation. Schrodinger proposed a model among several proposed models and his fit the best.

Anyone who is surprised by science not knowing all the answers had fundamentally misunderstood science.

Finally, five fields: electromagnetic, gravity, strong, weak, and higgs. Magnetism is just an effect of leptons interacting with the electric field. That's the model, one day when we can explain more with another model there will be more questions.

Bonus points for anyone who knows the quote "who ordered that?"

Fighting fire with fire sets the whole neighborhood ablaze, sure, but this isn't fire with fire. The current administration cut support and sent Marines in to patrol US streets. Newsome should punish those who cooperate with federally sanctioned hostile forces (don't kid yourself, as a marine I can tell you we are only deployed against hostiles) but this measure doesn't even explicitly punish. He's just not supporting the supporters.

People, stop ruining music! Tell your kids you've never heard of AC/DC but they have got to hear this band called Nickelback. If they respond "you don't know good music" then your job is done and they think AC/DC is amazing.

Not Costco tho!

Totally read that in Abe Simpsons voice

This right here is why you do not ever trust Media coverage of science. This shows a good increase for a particular material system, but to be clear: Silicon solar panels can achieve around 20-25 mA/cm^2 at 0.7 V while this system jumped up to 11.3 MICRO amps at 7 MILLI volts. A jump for a material system is published to show that a material could use further study, but that doesn't mean it's competitive with current tech yet. The real thing to watch for is increasing efficiency and low cost of halides.

I'm a solar researcher, I'm used to any attention over hyping our results.

Pretty much every Sierra franchise.
