Archimedes Strength

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the factors that determine the strength of Archimedes, specifically in relation to the force acting on submerged objects as described by Archimedes' principle. The principle explains that the buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This force is influenced by the density of the fluid and the volume of the object submerged. The conversation also includes a lighthearted comment about the time it takes Archimedes to exit his bath, adding a humorous touch to the technical topic. Overall, the focus remains on the scientific explanation of buoyancy and the principles governing submerged objects.

Thread 'Predictions for the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025'

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
