Which additional complexity has been added to dark matter? I'm not aware of anything. A WIMP would still explain everything, no? I don't see the comparison to epicycles at all. Then again, almost no one with a formal education in

When you exhausted the parameter space (assuming you can with our current technical abilities) or a competing idea with actual evidence comes along. It's not like people aren't trying.

It would cause damage. The faster you go, the worse is the damage. Even just the cosmic microwave background will eventually turn into dangerous gamma radiation, so you will need heavy lead shields in the front, which makes traveling even m

No, I wouldn't be. The speed of light is a much more fundamental limitation than anything we have ever seen before. It's probably the single most fundamental and most sure fact that we know of, besides perhaps the quantum nature o

I think this line of reasoning does a disservice to all the scientists and thinkers who contributed to a considerable amount of knowledge. We learned so much about the universe in the past 100 years, it's impudent to call this nothing

These distances are well outside the scope of exploration. Getting to the next solar system is already a seemingly insurmountable challenge. Getting to the next galaxy? Forget it. Getting to these galaxies we see in the picture? Absolutel

Euclid is in orbit around L2 with a radius of around 1.5 million km (~1 million miles), so the spacecrafts are quite comfortable there.

How is the number of known species correlated to the probability of life emerging? As far as we know, life emerged only once on earth, and all species evolved from a single common ancestor.

Exactly, so we shouldn't say things like "no doubt" when it comes to the question of extra terrestrial life.

This is very exciting. I was part of the Euclid collaboration roughly ten years ago as a grad student. Finally we can see the fruits of the labor of the many scientists involved. The images are of course very exciting, but I'll be even

This seems to happen more and more often, or at least it feels that way to me. FLOSS projects that aren't highly critical but very useful are maintained by only one person which loses interest, burns out or simply has other priorities.

Maybe there is a single space at the end. No way to know. Well done, GP.

This would be a more secure and much more ergonomic option: pwgen --ambiguous --no-capitalize --secure 12 Your command produces passwords like this: X3_>r"9' I can't even copy it by double clicking on it.

Well, I do it a lot. I do consulting in IT security and go through the onboarding process of a different company 15 times a year. My customers and co-workers are often security conscious and sometimes give me passwords like RC-A"c\EJe

I'm glad someone is thinking about UX and ergonomics when it comes to passwords. Most people I interact with have by now realized that generating passwords is a good idea. But if you are already generating the password, please do not i

The vast majority of passwords does not need to be easy to memorize because they should be stored in a password manager. In fact, I'd argue that the harder it is to memorize, the stronger the password. Yet they still need to be typed o

We can even adjust our sleeping position while sleeping, possibly to avoid bedsores? But perhaps avoiding falling requires more processing power.

Setting up a VPN using my FritzBox at home together with the Android app wg-tunnel was dead simple. I was really surprised how easy it was. A few clicks in the routers web interface and then scanning the QR code it gave me was all I needed.

Unrelated to OP's story, but besides tunneling traffic over TCP or even an HTTP proxy (which OpenVPN supports OOTB): plain Wireguard doesn't support 2FA, which is a requirement in some places. Unless there is an open source 2FA VP

The author doesn't think so: > Admittedly, the CCC+TL model is significantly more complex to work with than the ΛCDM model.

As someone with a PhD in cosmology I'm well aware how scientific progress works. This paper is simply not well done. It's lacking basic plausibility checks. It's a waste of time to give every badly formulated idea your attent

Of course it is. It already passed many tests (for example gravitational lensing) while some dark matter candidates (WIMPS, primordial black holes) have effectively been ruled out through tests.

Tired light has been thoroughly debunked. This paper came up a few times now on HN, and it's almost crackpottery. I know shallow rebuttals are frowned upon, but it's such a waste of time. I'll at least link this: https:&#x2F
