The physics curriculum prepares people to do research on stuff that is published in "physics journals". You may not think that should be the goal but it is. Doing work on Navier-Stokes lands you in a math journal on PDEs. On a mor

The "temperature of an atom" is something very different from the temperature of a material with billions of atoms. For the material, what matters most is usually vibrations of atoms, where the nucleus contributes the most to kine

Let's get people to publish their data and code first, shall we? That's sooo much easier than demanding whole studies to be replicated... and people still don't do it!

99% of science is a waste of time, not just the papers. We just don't know which 1% will turn out not to be. The point is that this is making progress. As such, these 99% definitely are adding to the collective knowledge. Maybe they

Gold is a sham, too. Its economic value in terms of useful uses is waaay below the market rate. The only reason people hoard gold is because everyone historically believes it to be valuable...

The thing you need in this space to make money is "owning a platform". It's not clear yet what shapes such platforms are going to take. Right now, the only real condender seems to be owning and API-letting a base model. If

Even if you were OK morally with "just ignore the problem and let most of humanity die so long we can keep burning oil", it's not an option in the first place. You just don't get to keep burning oil, one way or another.
