What scientific fact blows your mind the most?

Actually, there's some contradicting evidence that came up recently-sh. If you factor in the challenge of not being fried by the very incoming light you need, every photosynthesiser is about the right colour for it's environment.
-
I saw that recently too. There's some bug somewhere.
If you downvote it it goes back up to zero and everything.

I mean, you'd have to be right near a neutron star or black hole for it to add up to much AFAIK.
Even being on the moon is enough to mess up clocks, though.

There's a possibility of using the plasma directly for inducing electrical current, actually.
But then yeah, probably steam with whatever's left.

now that would be revolutionary!

I mean, it's not something for nothing. You still get drag at least matching lift to conserve energy.

Yes, we understood what you were saying.
But your IF is followed by a nonsensical statement.
It's a precondition that can't be true. -
Here's a version you can scroll through to-scale. Patience required.
That would be wildly impractical for stars, so this diagram will have to do.

Ah okay. Why not though? I thought mathematics as a whole suffers from a lack of proof of some of its axioms, which if disproven could spell trouble.

If you'd consider this broadly points at everything "ok", I'd frigging fear your "moderately bad"
-
....? .... Oooooohhh. Haha that's some fine gallows humor.

Moderately bad would be, for example, getting stuck in the agrarian neolithic for geological time because every significant technological advance leads to a devastating social collapse that wipes it away. If farming is already a new thing to the species, why shouldn't we struggle just to keep it going at a basic level?
I mean, it did happen that way sometimes, and history was shit, but progress eventually did come. By the 20th century there was little anyone from the paleolithic would recognise in Western life, but we adapted.

Lemmy Easter egg. Gives access to Bizzaro Lemmy. They get a mustache. That's it.

Yes, this is what I was thinking of, thanks for filling us in.

Neat. I know almost nothing about the the Higgs field.
