Every day we take one step closer to the ending of Three Robots in "Love Death + Robots". Speaking of which, that needs a fourth season.

Looking for, ideally a layman's YouTube or write-up, rather than a scholarly article or published study, but either or will do. Just not a crackpot YT politicized piece. Subject, instances of autoimmune disease in western/sanitized/first world countries comparably to third world countries with regards to increased risk of developing autoimmune disease. (Ie. children get sick, immune system develops properly. Children don't get sick, increased risk of autoimmune disease later in life.) I'm not sure what looking for this kind of info is like after Covid but I'm asking here first.

The theory however, is plausible. It was a discussion I had waaay back in Bio 11 or 12. There's history of autoimmune disease in my family so I was curious but never looked into it. Got reminded of the idea when I was talking about "chickenpox parties" in another thread.

The Very Pulse of the Machine is a mindblowingly gorgeous trip. I mean, I do drugs, but I don't do those kind of drugs. I also thought Jibaro was a work of art, however I've seen just how divisive it is on Reddit. Which in some artistic interpretations just means it's better. Let alone everything else I'm not mentioning that was amazeballs. They have a few flops but even those I appreciate them trying to tackle something unique.

*** Thx for the Hygiene Hypothesis info, that term is what was on the tip of my tongue but couldn't for the life of me remember. I loved Jibaro, I agree that it is a work of art. But seeing as its dealing (very explicitly) with sexual violence I can see how it would be divisive. But I thought it was done really responsibly, and was a genuine artistic attempt to deal with an ugly aspect of human nature (guess what, that's one thing that art is for- helping us understand and come to terms with the less than savory aspects of human experience and existence). And I'm glad you posted these JWST pictures- you ninja'd me! We're now already getting to the good stuff with JWST (it took forever for Hubble to get to the really juicy stuff, thanks to all the needed repairs and upgrades), the stuff that JWST was designed to do. And this happens to be the area of physics that interests me most- the very early universe, early galaxy development, black hole formation (how the fuck do supermassive black holes get so big so fast), and the really juicy stuff; what, if anything, happened prior to the "big bang". And these images of the earliest galaxies are already completely confounded and re-writing our best models of galactic formation and evolution, just this article talks about. And when observations break our models, that's where new physics happens, and we've been hovering near this precipice for a long time (ever since people worked out all the implications of general relativity, so mid-20th century- 3/4 of a century ago now!) and hopefully these developments lead to the breakthrough we've been waiting for all this time (i.e. meaningful progress towards a successful theory of quantum gravity). Awesome stuff, it doesn't get any cooler than this imo (yes, I am a nerd- fite me IRL).

how the fuck do supermassive black holes get so big so fast I believe black holes formed almost instantly, and since matter was 'densely packed', they grew at exponential speeds. what, if anything, happened prior to the "big bang That may never get solved, unless we find out it's all a simulation, of course. meaningful progress towards a successful theory of quantum gravity I'm a proponent of the string theory, and believe, that Einstein actually had some of that sorted already. We just have to wait until someone proves the theory, but I'm afraid I won't be around to see it. Cool stuff though. Not sure if this was posted here, but here goes: Wrinkles left over from the Big Bang may have magnetized the universeIt seems we both joined the right club then.

Not sure if this was posted here, but here goes: Wrinkles left over from the Big Bang may have magnetized the universeIt seems we both joined the right club then. Sure, we have proposals like direct collapse and primordial black holes- but they're only that; proposals. They have yet to be tested. And that was what was so exciting about JWST: with our previous generation of telescopes, we had pushed them as far as they could go. In order to test our latest theories about black hole formation and growth, galactic formation and evolution, and so on, we had to be able to see further back in time, see even older and older galaxies, see into the central regions of galaxies. And JWST (and other next-gen telescopes like the EHT) finally allowed us to do that. And so now its the exciting part where we get to test these proposals against observation, and see which (if any) hold up. As for what happened prior to the Big Bang, that's not half so intractable a problem as people make out- its only the biggest/most difficult problem in physics, nbd! All we need to do is successfully reconcile quantum mechanics with gravity. Easy peasy! Of course, we've been trying to do this for decades (string theory, loop quantum gravity, etc), but its not unreasonable to think that observational access to previously unavailable epochs/regions of the universe could lead to a breakthrough here. And even lacking that, its not unthinkable that we can still make progress: we used to think that what happened prior to the Big Bang was an unanswerable question, but now a few decades later we have an extension to the BBT that adds a prior epoch to the Big Bang one that neatly solves a bunch of outstanding problems in physics (the horizon problem, the flatness problem, etc) and is widely accepted by cosmologists: inflationary theory. And then we have frontier theorists, like Penrose, who has claimed to not only have derived testable predictions from his CCC model, but claimed positive results. So the ball is rolling, its just a question of where it comes to a rest. As for string theory, it sounds like you have more optimism than I do. I don't have any in-principle objections to string theory, only that after how many decades we've yet to derive a single testable prediction from it, and that doesn't seem likely to change any time soon. I'm hoping more that string theory can teach the next generation of quantum gravity theorists some lessons that help them make meaningful progress on this, the most difficult problem in all of physics.

Weird sci-fi question one of you might be able to answer off the top of yer head.
There was a point in time where the entire universe was roughly room temperature.
Here's where I don't have a good grasp of timelines.
At the point that the universe was room temperature, what generation of suns would we be on, and would all the necessary components for life (as we know it) have been around by then? Or were elements still "missing" at that point?
Ie. When the universe was young it was room temp and if all the elements necessary for life were around, it could make for a good starting-off point for one of those "First One"-esque Babylon 5 races.

Or were elements still "missing" at that point? When 'universe was room temperature' I assume you mean when Cosmic microwave background was around 293 Kelvins? If so then to my limited understanding this happened way before first stars were formed. When universe became transparent to radiation and thus CMB was created at around 400 thousand years since Big bang its temperature was around 3000 Kelvins but by the time of the earliest stars and galaxies, which should have formed several hundred million years since BB, the temperature was already around 20ish Kelvin. And without these first stars there are no heavier elements needed to form life as we know it for which 'room temperature' might be beneficial. Also, keep in mind that temperature of universe/CMB and temperature of air outside are not exactly the same thing.

When the universe was young it was room temp Good question, I had to look it up. Universe was room temperature at 15 million years. This is so early, that atoms are still forming; that is billions of years before even proto-galaxies form.

I figured it'd be early but I didn't realize it'd be that early. More like, "yeah, we're missing a few late-stage elements" not "everything is mostly piss warm soup."

I had to look it up. Universe was room temperature at 15 million years. Where did you found it? I scoured Google for over an hour and all I found was a formula that I wasn't sure would be correct to use for the early state of the Universe. This is so early, that atoms are still forming; that is billions of years before even proto-galaxies form. As I understand it first galaxies formed around 200-500 hundred million years after BB.

Should have bought stock in NVIDIA about 20 years ago. It's value recently went above 2 trillion dollars. More than the entire Canadian economy .
