Fine, I can say this in a way that does not violate energy conservation but still uses the energy-time uncertainty principle:

Say you have a system with two levels, hot and cold like the gold sheet in this experiment. Then I can take a linear combination of these two (stationary) states, between which which the period of oscillation would be deltat=h/deltaE, which would be the time for the system to “heat” and “cool” within 45 femtoseconds. (lifted from Griffiths, page 143)

That would give a deltaE>1.5E-20J compared with kT (T=19000K) = 27E-20J 🤔 (T=1300K) = 1.8E-20J so the fusion T is close to the oscillation limit, the extra energy for 19000K is not going to do anything unless the cooling slows down.

Soo…I don’t understand the point of the experiment. It just looks like they’re exciting atoms metal and then letting them quickly deexcite radiatively…and then wonder why they won’t absorb huge amounts of energy and melt (if the energy remained within the system, it would). I probably would have to get the actual paper, but I don’t wanna 😛

Wait, so it isn’t getting worse, I’m just more aware of how flawed it is through long-term exposure?

Needless to say, at 19,000 Kelvin, the solid gold sample blew past that boundary, heating up to more than 14 times its melting point, which is about 1,300 Kelvin. The team suggests the speed of the heating likely kept the gold from expanding. They blasted the gold to its record-setting temperature in just 45 femtoseconds, or 45 millionths of a billionth of a second.

“The thing that’s intriguing here is to ask the question of whether or not it’s possible to beat virtually all of thermodynamics, just by being quick enough so that thermodynamics doesn’t really apply in the sense that you might think about it

The team notes that the second law of thermodynamics, which states that disorder increases with time, still stands—their work did not disprove it. That’s because the gold atoms reached their extreme temperature before they had time to become disordered, White tells Nature’s Dan Garisto.

Even still, researchers are now faced with a question they had considered all but completely solved nearly four decades ago, per New Scientist: How hot can something really get before it melts? If a material is heated quickly enough, there might be no limit, per the SLAC statement.

Sort of reminds me of the energy-time version uncertainty principle: if an interval is short enough, energy fluctuations can be extremely high.

What I’d like to know here is what the duration threshold to would allow fusion to start is.

honest mistake, oregano olive oil looks similar

Hm, so…can you become carbon neutral if you offset in another country? Isn’t that just a way to make poor countries look like they’re to blame?

I thought they had covered all roofs in the Vatican with solar panels and a few wind turbines…plus batteries…

The Rhinos were fine, so it probably won’t kill anyone. But it would be funny acceptable if someone died from buying snake oil.

Genau 🤩

Can’t we counterjam them? They have more to lose in that area of the globe.

Yeah, but having a Visa/Mastercard duopoly is already a precarious position before they even decide what to censor. This is just the canary in the coalmine, need to diversify, in different countries if possible.

This is the way.

I guess Orban will veto it like he does everything, he big macho man sovereignist who knows more than everyone: … sadopatriots just want to please daddy tramp.

Yeah, not a fan, but she’s a good representative of the EPP and all it stands for.

At least so far “session integrity” has not succeeded. But NVIDIA moving focus to servers is not encouraging.

Back in the 1950s, they were largely just trucks outfitted with special add-ons — ladders, pumps — to differentiate them from the vehicle that might deliver your furniture. Family-owned businesses sprung up across the country to serve a region’s specific needs, and competition kept prices low.

that sounds like capitalism too :/

What is the EU supposed to invest on in the US? And how the fuck are they going to impose this on member states? Which countries are going to take the hit and do this investing and buying of military equipment/gas (ok, gas is to replace russia in the north)?
