>They don't say their result isn't erroneous. They say there is statistically only a very tiny chance that the correlation is due to chance. Again, a p-value is not the chance that a result is erroneous - the statement you ma

Geomagnetism is easily measurable and has been monitored for a long time. The central claim is that changes in cosmic ray frequencies can predict earthquakes. The proposed causal mechanism is changes in the geodynamo affecting the propagati

I think it's telling that none of the authors are geophysicists, and they definitely aren't statisticians either. The causality they're claiming just does not have any physical plausibility. > Dr. Homola states, “In the sc

In light of recent news, this is an extremely misleading choice of title, given that the orginal was "241,000 to 335,000 Years Old Rock Engravings Made by Homo naledi in the Rising Star Cave system, South Africa". It's not ne

Ooh boy that's extremely bad to do, quite a bit worse than heating food in a tupperware.

It is, but really human sacrifice was the norm, not the exception, in preclassical ancient societies.

Analog computers don't have infinite precision due to the presence of noise, so digital computers can emulate that with high-enough precision arithmetic.

That's much less cool though.

They don't need to abandon their homes, but those homes are becoming uninsurable without heavy subsidies (like FEMA flood insurance). Houses should simply not be built in many of these places.

It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. Metabolic syndrome causes all sorts of general havoc with just about everything you can think of, which would probably include neuron's ability to maintain homeostasis or fight a latent in

Similarly, there is now extemely strong evidence that the Epstein-Barr is causal in multiple sclerosis. The vast majority of people are infected with EB, with most never having symptoms. However, a nonsignificant minority aren't. A lar

We're still doing the same antics. The OAS and State Dept supported the failed (literal) fascist coup in Bolivia, and also the recent one in Peru that has lead to quite a few deaths so far due to police/military brutality. Both we

It's sad. The LCM was magical. It's weird Jody Allen couldn't have just shoved off the LCM onto some other staffers or something if she was bored of it.

The next assignment will be run through ChatGPT as well, with presumably the same results - resulting in failure and escalation to the academic dishonesty office.

The section about criticism of a bike wheel as a tensegrity structure is vague. As the other sections say, all spokes are always under tension, and the rim is always under compression. There's only one compressive member (the rim), so
