Sagebrush posted:tyvek is waterproof, disposable and marginally more comfortable to wear on your body than neoprene or latex. that is its only advantage. the reason they make tyvek suits is so that hazmat teams can clean up biohazardous fluids without having to zip up into a literal rubber suit when it comes to dealing with biohazard stuff, disposable is king I churn through a heap of chemicals and disposable syringes, brushes, gloves and gowns because endoscopes can have terrible things on them even though 95% of them come in sterilized from a hospital were even starting to get into disposable endoscopic cameras, which basically broadcast video to a belt attachment you wear and then poop out and don't worry about fishing through crap to retrieve

this is kind of neat but a stirling engine is probably better and does not cost 1.3 million dollars. Professor Ethan Rips, Princeton Astrophysics professor posted:Every place in every part of the Universe is a point, having no mass and taking up no space. An infinite number of points exist along any given finite line. We scribble notes furiously. it's me, I'm the princeton astrophysics professor that does not understand what a datum is

frozen lasers would be a sweet assassin weapon, just put a cube of it on someone's head and it'll blast through them as it melts

copper would be an awful assassination tool because the patina on copper is unique to its owner. might as well kill them with a giant finger print

did you read the 4th line where stephen hawking goes "oh, actually no, an infinitely long iron dick isn't the one special case that violates causality dumbass"

that thing cant exist for reasons that are totally different from why a really long stick cant be used to poke people on the other side of the galaxy instantaneously (#1 cant exist because stehpen king said so, #2 cant exist because of wave propagation)

ok that's fancier than what I thought you meant but basically theres no reason to think that a mathematical abstraction of infinite mass in general relativity yields something physically meaningful any more than a proof that 0=1 based on dividing both sides by zero is mathematically meaningful

chumpchous posted:i think it's true if the rod has infinite mass because if it has infinite mass who knows, anything goes at that point if the rod has infinite mass then it would require an infinite amount of torque to spin it or move it, making the whole situation moot

i read his paper and the rod also has to spin at infinite rpm so i don't know what the gently caress he was thinking claiming this as A Thing That Is. "my paper proves that time travel is not impossible! that is, in the case that we also have figured out how to do half a dozen other things that are by definition impossible. publish meeeee"

you can do some really cool things with a cpu capable of infinite computation in finite time. like make a ruby vm thats faster than c
