AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the nature of simulations, particularly in the context of crashes depicted within them. A key question raised is whether the phenomena observed can be classified as a fluid or a wave function, and if there is a significant difference between the two. Participants are exploring the idea of fluids potentially being understood as summed wave functions, prompting a deeper inquiry into the relationship between these concepts. The conversation seeks clarity on these distinctions and their implications for understanding the simulations.

The remaining question is: Are we watching a fluid or a wave function? And is there a difference anyway? If so, which?
The last two questions are meant serious. Are fluids only summed wave functions?

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'

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...
