AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a proposed near-light-speed drive that utilizes ions as a reaction mass, contrasting traditional propulsion methods that rely on burning oxygen and hydrogen. Concerns are raised about the credibility of the information sourced from The Electric Universe, which is deemed unreliable and banned in the forum. The emphasis is on the need for scientifically valid sources when discussing advanced propulsion technologies.

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...

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...
