What scientific fact blows your mind the most?
-
I think it's the Mormon bit that's being questioned.
-
Now, think about the energy and forces involved when 2 supermassive black holes orbit each other and collide.
-
Kolob is a planet or star where God resides. Time moves very slowly there. Hence the high gravitational field. Probably because God is massive. I don't know. I'm not a Christian scientist.
-
Ooh, those aspects are well beyond my capacity for comprehension or visualisation! I feel like an ant watching nuclear explosions.
-
yes you can. coal costs ~32 cent per kWh, and uranium ~$0.0015 per kWh
-
If mass can convert into energy that easily then we’re all in a lot of trouble…

I dunno whether it counts: but that science has effectively cured AIDS.
In 2004, 2.1m people died from it. Twenty years later that figure was a little over a quarter at 630k. The goal for 2025 is 250k. I think that's absolutely remarkable.
As a child in the 80s I was terrified of AIDS. It made me low-key scared of gay men because the news made it sound like I could I could get it from any one of them. And here we now are, able to provide a medication that can almost completely ensure that you will never be infected by HIV.
Astonishing, really.

We were talking about the mass-energy conversion, for nuclear fusion.
Not really sure how nuclear fission Vs coal cost/kWh is relevant.

-
I mean, you're not wrong.. XD
-
I don't know but imagine what crazy processes would lead to creating that magic man floating around in nothingness, without a world to evolve on.
-
That our species took millions of years of evolution and the chance for it to be exactly this way was so infinitesimal... And yet here we are, chasing arbitrary numbers on paper-slices and in some bank-account while also being sexists, racists, whatever-ists and destroying the very rock we exist on.
Yet things like star trek are called utopia not actual-ia.This always baffle me.
