I feel like the "tits" they would get for that "tat" would be pretty bad for them. NATO breaks toys better than they ever will.
I don't really think it would start WWIII on it's own, though.
Ooooooohhh! I never made that connection.
What's the problem? They're just not sure which instance to go with?
Onsager principle on reciprocal relation
That's thermodynamics. Another weird connection they have to explain somehow.
The rest you sent is basic explanations they could have lifted from Wikipedia, plus two equations where they shoehorn the Plank units into an expression of G using ≈. I'd give them credit for balancing the units like good engineers, at least, but this looks a lot like the equation for Hawking radiation temperature, so that may or may not be original work.
I have no idea if you think we should buy less from China, or stop complaining about buying from China, but either way you're right about the hypocrisy, or at least lack of self awareness.
It's the zeitgeist, right? More protectionism, both for geopolitical reasons and (fake) economic reasons
Hmm. Just me then. The rest of what I said stands.
I'm not a physicist either, but I'm close enough to tell you that this:
We further modeled the universe using the equation with Einstein's lambda formalism and found that the universe dynamics could be considered as harmonic oscillators entangled with lambda curvature. This equation can be used to describe the energy transfer between two entangled spacetimes between the same universe and between any two universes (ER=EPR).
Sounds like gibberish. At the very least, these are all things they personally developed/made up. I'd read past the abstract, but it won't load for me. Has it already been removed?
The fact that the authors are from the most misconduct-y region of the academic world and are engineers also doesn't inspire confidence.
Yes, that is a synonym for the headline. Pretty doubtful this is real, though.
The masses of electrons, muons, and tau can be explained by the different curvatures of universe, galaxy, and solar system, respectively.
Yeah, that sounds like numerology. All three of those things are the same vague piles of dust, as far as fundamental physics is concerned.
TL;DW
Stuff we knew already:
The Russian economy is running very hard to stay in the same place.
Natural gas is in the toilet, oil is fine.
Electronics have been making their way into Russia just fine, despite sanctions.
Secondary financial sanctions - or the threat thereof - are making their life difficult in China. A going rate of 6% of the transaction for financial intermediaries is mentioned.
Stuff that's new to me:
Their defense budget increase has actually been beaten (proportionally, based on Rostec numbers) by Poland during the period of the war. This could be because they're lying about how much they spent, because they're just that cash strapped, or because refurbishing old equipment stocks is cheaper than building new stuff.
Russia is increasingly not even publishing the cooked statistics, because sometimes you can play them off of each other and actually learn things.
"Until you go out of business, you don't have problems, you have costs" - Pretty much the "in a nutshell" of whether sanctions can stop the war. No, but they can definitely make them lose (run out of money and/or regime support) faster, and that's happening to some degree. The question is still who can spend longer, between them and Ukraine+the West.
"Russia is currently in the process of expending both it's past and it's future" - A pretty raw quote. They're rebuilding their economy, again to a degree, around strip mining the Soviet Union, at the expense of actual industry that will keep them fed in the long term.
But still yes, once NATO works out which Russian stuff to take out in response.
Probably the ghost tankers, right?
