Reply to comment by wealhtheow in Polarization around climate change is growing on Twitter. Since COP21, engagement with climate sceptics has grown 4 times faster than pro-climate content. At the same time, criticism of the COP summits as a failure has grown 5-fold. by fractalfalcon
You do realize those things take electricity to run and produce right. But I think I understand your overall point of luxuries not being the reason we live a long time.

Reply to comment by HandMeDownCumSock in Lopsided star cluster may disprove Newton and Einstein, controversial new study claims. An uneven distribution of stars in several nearby clusters may offer evidence of MOND — a controversial theory of gravity that disputes Newton and rejects the existence of dark matter. by nimobo
Sort of. We took his equations and plugged them into simulations. Our galaxy was ripped apart. The gravity wasn’t sufficient enough to keep it together. So then we plugged in different variables (simplifying it here) to find what does keep the galaxy together, ran more calculations, and then coined that missing variable dark matter.
So either Einstein has some things wrong, we’re missing something major, or Einstein is right and we just need to find out what dark matter actually is.

No doubt. I just don’t like the demeanor levied against Newtonian doubters. This isn’t a flat earth situation where it’s frankly just not debatable. There’s real questions as to our understanding of physics when we get to the scope of galaxies and larger.
It is possible that dark matter doesn’t exist and we missed something. (Not saying you in particular are shaming, just making a point.)

As scarcity diminishes, so to do the positives of capitalism. It’ll be a very tough transition. Ya know, assuming we don’t all drown or go up in a mushroom cloud.

Is he proven right though? Or is he just the closest to the right answer. Again, dark matter and energy haven’t been observed. We just know without adding them to the formulas, galaxies don’t stay together. So it’s either he was wrong, or we still need to “find” extra matter that we can’t see.

We kind of just made up dark matter and energy to make the equations work. From what I understand, without those two, supermassive black holes still lack the size to hold galaxies together. Then it doesn’t hold up at the quantum level. That’s the extent of my knowledge on it.
So basically, his math gets us to the right answer the vast majority of the time, but it doesn’t explain the super small or super big.

The frustrating thing about that is it takes away from real stories and gives credence to the whole fake news narrative that he spun successfully to help win in 2016. This is a troubling trend overall. We can rationally dissect fact from fiction without clickbait and pedantic behavior.

Reply to comment by xIMxMCLOVINx2 in Elden Ring Ray-Tracing: Mediocre Implementation, PC Gaming Still an Afterthought to FromSoftware by PrinceDizzy
It’s not fascinating at all. The PC fanatics are used to the phone processor PS4 generation (could literally build a better PC for the same price AT LAUNCH), and the failed experiment of the PS3 CPU.
The PS5 and Series X just punch hard. It’s good hardware. They’re both designed to limit bottlenecks, too. Lots of PC gamers don’t actually do that and it results in inconsistent frames at times.
PC is the superior option when it can simply brute force “x” game like it did easily in the early 2010’s. Also mods.
