I’d much rather only bring you good news, but I feel like I can’t just be quiet about this unfolding climate disaster. I no longer believe that we are able to keep the damage manageable by reducing emissions, and so all signs point to geoengineering. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Gh...

"What the FUCK is wrong with Europe?" Der Hauptgrund dafür, dass 🇪🇺 mehr und mehr in Richtung autoritärer Strukturen abdriftet, liegt für @hossenfelder.bsky.social in der extremen Trägheit des Sozialstaats, der zu langsam ist, um mit dem rasanten technologischen Fortschritt Schritt zu halten. 1/8

Physicists really do believe that their discipline is the basis for all other sciences because, well, it is. Recently, physicists have been applying physics to biology, using physics principles to predict how life itself evolves. Let’s take a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj8N...

How is our supposedly glorious transition to electric vehicles going? Last year I said that I expect a shift towards more hybrid vehicles. Was I right, was I wrong? www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi_n...

Some people have developed close relationships with AI bots, and think they’ve “awakened” their AI partners into sentience. They have developed an entirely new pseudoscientific theory for this, which is based on five dimensional scalar resonances. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm64...

A physicist claims that changing constants explain dark energy and dark matter, both of which are just an “illusion”. Well, wow. I’ve had a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq8t...
