  I think this image on the Felidae wiki sums it up pretty well: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felidae#Phylogeny

  Note that everything in this graph is extinct, except the 2 circled subfamilies at the bottom.

  It was freely chosen for simplicity.

  If you choose another R, the other sides (x and y) become Rcos(th) and Rsin(th)

  I don’t understand what is harmful about the unity circle either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Temperatures⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This has me confused.

  Temperature can be used to refer to how fast the atoms are jiggling (kinetic or phonon temperature) or to how messy, disordered (opposite of ordered) a system is.

  Time dilation is a relativistic effect where time appears to go slower when you are looking at something that has a very high speed (near light speed) compared to you (relative velocity). Can also happen with mass because gravity is acceleration, thus related to velocity.

  If the atoms are jiggling slower, relative velocities only shrink, so you’d expect to see less relativistic effect. I am not aware of any relativistic effects due to thermal motion in normal conditions (room temp, atmospheric pressure), so I don’t know how they’d appear when relative velocities only decrease.

  I am really interested where you got this temperature - time dilation link from. Can’t seem to crack it.

  Thank you for answering.

  I am not sure where to start, but let’s take the easy way: At the moment of writing, the wikipedia page “Persecution of Uyghurs in China” has 585 references.

  They’re probably all written by seemingly independent institutions, journalists and scientists who somehow have a McCarthyist-like fear of communism that they’d risk their credibility just to add a bit of damage to communist China’s moral standing?

  Or are they all factually incorrect through some other mechanism?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jet Fuel⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The communism preference, yes. As for the CCP: They literally denied Uyghur persecution. Not even genocide, which is a claim that, due to its severity, is always going to be hard to prove, and thus debatable, I get that.

  But even just the fact that the ethnic-religious group of Uyghurs are being persecuted on a large scale, had to be denied. That’s pretty extreme.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jet Fuel⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand your desire to defend communism.

  But really, how far does an authoritarian regime have to go, while calling itself communist, before you judge them?

  What evidence would change your mind about the CCP?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vectors Part 2⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Check CompassRed’s comment above.

  The definition part of the wikipedia article has a nice table with these “nice relationships for addition and scaling”. You will see that they also hold for many kinds of functions, such as polynomials and other more abstract things than points and directions in 2D or 3D. N-dimensional vectors for example, or using complex numbers, or both

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calling All Athiests⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The most mind-blowing moment I’ve ever had was the course Relativistic Electrodynamics.

  If you assume static electricity (charges attract or repel), then apply special relativity to see what the situation looks like to an observer travelling by, you get magnetism!

  Turns out half of Maxwell’s laws is a direct consequence of the other half once you know about special relativity.

  The meme is great, but I don’t understand the bottom text.

  Is OP saying they’re completely unaware of systemic sexism in academia?

  I wish I had a fraction of that positivity.

  Ever heard of this guy called Descartes? He basically wrote the script for this movie, The Matrix, a few hundred years before they started shooting it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Science is Magic⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What is reality?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here kitty kitty⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The meme’s accurate in that sense. All the others are also in a dark room looking for a black cat.

  Normally, I only comment when i have something to add, but I just want to commend you for your high quality contribution to this sensitive topic.

  Really learning a lot from this. Your arguments are solid and your phrasing is respectful. Thank you!

  Heard the same from my partner. She loves Mass Effect, Starfield, liked Elite:Dangerous and No Man’s Sky for a while and, ironically, Outer Wilds is her favourite game now. Outer Worlds didn’t click.
