You're Wrong And Will Probably Never Know

MIT lab amazing 3D printer.... using molten glass

Xaielao says...

Always fun to watch a fledgling technology expand. Polymer, glass, wood, even realistic imitation ivory imbibed with GPS trackers. Other researchers are trying to 3d-print aluminum.

Clearing the road to Geiranger

Zawash says...

*water, *wheels, *travel. And we need a *scandinavian or *nordic channel.

This line of work is much easier using GPS, instead of old fashioned maps and very long poles lining the roads.

Would Headlights Work at Light Speed?

Jinx says...

No they don't. Sort of. It's complicated.

I don't know about neutrinos, but I'm fairly certain they don't travel faster than light. There was an experiment a few years back that seemed to suggest they did, but as far as I know it is now thought to have been an error. It did make for an interesting paradox - I'm told the experiment was only possible due to very accurate GPS, which of course relies very heavily on both general and special relativity. The ftl result undermined their own methodology.

Umm... photons have mass.

Why is he saying they don't have mass?

Neutrinos also travel at or faster than the speed of light and have mass.

A Message for the Anti-Vaccine Movement

You can seek the advise of more than one GP and compare.

By their very title, GPs don't even claim to be the end all of medical knowledge They are in place to ensure the specialists (who are already severely booked) are not swamped with unnecessary work for common treatments, like vaccination.

This also isn't an issue that may vary between doctors or one they can have lack of knowledge about (like your fathers issue). This is a long standing, historically proven treatment.

I know you're not against vaccination but my point is, there's no need to muddy the issue with unrelated treatments where you weren't diagnosed 100%.

Is it just me or does the guy at 4:33 look like Willem Dafoe? Kind of acts like him too lol.

I vaccinated my daughter, but let's not kid ourselves, *general practitioners* are not the end-all-be-all of medical knowledge and, collectively, they make wrong diagnoses and mistakes all the time. For instance, my family doctor prescribed Flovent to my daughter when she was less than a year old, yet the manufacturer's literature clearly states not to give it to children under a year of age. My father was prescribed a drug for a medical condition which should not be given to patients that have atrial fibrillation - he questioned his cardiologist about this and was told not to take the medication. Good thing he didn't just rely on his other doctor's infallible judgement (and yes the other doctor was aware of his heart condition.)

Most general practitioners are likely not at the forefront of medical research; I'd much rather trust the advice of a medical researcher or specialist in the field. I trust our well-tested vaccines, but that doesn't mean future vaccines might not carry unknown or unexpected risks (see Pandemrix).

I'm not sure how serious they were about not treating patients that refuse to vaccinate their children, but up here in Canada, I'm not sure that would fly. I'm not sure a GP can refuse to treat a parent because they refuse to vaccinate their child; it would be an interesting case to see argued in court. It has something to do with the way the Human Rights Code is defined: physicians must provide services without discrimination, which may be in conflict with their moral beliefs.
