The four moral judgments you make every day

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5709795/

“The physiological effects of slow breathing in the healthy human”

I started breath control as an early teen, probably because yoga was a bit of a thing in the 60s and early 70’s. I’ve been able to slow breath for many years and used to use controlled breathing during recovery when I was a jogger/aerobics attender. I have no idea what my “normal” rate of breathing is now because I’m so conscious of breathing I can’t not control it. I just timed myself and I can comfortable do 5 breaths a minute, I reckon I could bring it back to 4 if I really tried. I suspect my normal is around 6 or 7 when at rest.

thanks

Just pulled up the imaginary one and the moral judgements one, the former being more apparently interesting.

Kind of not really surprising that the whole wavefunction is required to describe a wave, but good to be sure.

The moral judgements stuff seems like a clumsy way of qualitatively breaking down what seems to be better described quantitatively but hey that’s just how we see it.

From:
Self-awareness is what makes us human

“Because of our ability to think about thinking, “the gap between ape and man is immeasurably greater than the one between amoeba and ape.”“

Haven’t read the full article yet, but I doubt that statement is true.

Unless I am underestimating the amoeba.

Amoebas are very small

Oh ah ee oo
There’s absolutely no strife
Living the timeless life, I don’t need a wife
Living the timeless life

If I need a friend I just give a wriggle
Split right down the middle
And when I look there’s two of me
Both as handsome as can be

Oh, here we go slithering, here we go
Slithering and squelching on
Oh, here we go slithering, here we go
Slithering and squelching on

Oh ah ee oo
There’s absolutely no strife
Living the timeless life

So many articles, so little time.

Physicists Prove That the Imaginary Part of Quantum Mechanics Really Exists!

sibeen, if you are reading this, stop right here.

“For almost a century, physicists have been intrigued by the fundamental question: why are complex numbers so important in quantum mechanics, that is, numbers containing a component with the imaginary number i? Usually, it was assumed that they are only a mathematical trick to facilitate the description of phenomena, and only results expressed in real numbers have a physical meaning. However, a Polish-Chinese-Canadian team of researchers has proved that the imaginary part of quantum mechanics can be observed in action in the real world.”

I mean that’s just wrong.

There is nothing “imaginary” about the “imaginary” part of complex numbers, at least when they are used to model real phenomena like the interaction of large structures with seismic vibrations, or the interaction of quantum particles with each other.

Thank god, I was just about to delete a 73 page building study, which I’m currently working on, which is strewn with ‘j’s on every page.

Like this one!

Scientists at Purdue University announce the whitest white ever developed. It will be available as paint and a nanofilm.
BaSO4 (barium sulfate), the whitest white ever. BaSO4 is practically impervious to the colors of the visible spectrum.
BaSO4 results in 98.1 percent of sunlight bouncing off. It is hardy enough for outdoor conditions.

The whitest white paint before — developed by the same team just last autumn — depended on calcium carbonate. The team crammed as many tiny BaSO4 particles into the paint as possible. Although a higher particle concentration is better for making something white, you can’t increase the concentration too much. The higher the concentration, the easier it is for the paint to break or peel off. Another factor that makes the team’s BaSO4 formulation so reflective is that the researchers used barium sulfate particles of many different sizes. When it comes to reflecting light, size matters.

BaSO4 is available in the natural mineral barite, and widely used in different industrial fields as radiocontrast agent, paper brightener and main components in cosmetic products.
BaSO4 powders cost only $0.44 per kilogram, which is about half the price of TiO2 powders at $1 per kilogram.

I see an application in clothing for desert use, cools the wearer.

It’ll make the clothing heavy – BaSO4 has an sg around 4.5.
