No, as there are many world-states that don't correspond to any seeds because not all possible states can be baseline in a seed.

It's more like keeping the title of the story the same, but you also hand them a piece of paper with instructions for them to apply modifications to the story after they finish generating it. "Change John's name to Joe", or "Megan died of influenza instead of pneumonia", for example.

Over the years, advances in genetics and nutrition have increased the production potential of dairy cows. We have done the same with all agricultural species and their respective products to make more product, more efficiently to keep up with demand. Milk replacer is made with standard nutrient values, so when it’s mixed to a fluid you know exactly how much protein, fat and vitamins are being given to calves. With milk coming off farm, you can’t guarantee each litre has the same values as there is greater variation. Some cows produce milk with more protein, some produce more fat and when it’s pooled together to be fed it’s harder to ascertain if the calves needs are being met or are in excess. Additionally, if calves are getting a higher protein milk one day or feeding and then a lower protein milk the next it can result in some serious digestive upsets that could be avoided when kept on a product with stable values.

The issue is that keeping the elderly alive will mean devoting all energy and money to keeping them alive, causing stagnation. It's worth being concerned about.

In the "Fancy Pants Editor" you have to select the quote block option through the GUI.

Ohhhh right, got a bit confused, thanks! Also how do u highlight what part of my comment you reply to?

Why do cows produce more milk than their calves could drink? Also, how could it be better for the calves to drink milk replacer rather than just drink the milk that was made for them by their mother?

>Instead they are made out of superconducting materials which have basically zero electric resistance.

There's a pedantic but critically important bit here that super conductors have actually zero resistance as long as they're below their critical temperature which means they don't dissipate any heat which is what lets them carry the crazy currents needed for the strong magnets

As soon as any part passes the critical temperature its resistance becomes not zero, it starts dissipating a ton of power, the helium nearby flash boils, more of the magnet heats up, and everything comes crashing down in a sad magnetic quench that tends to damage everything

So the magnets are cold because if they're not super cold then they're resistors not magnets and they instead get super hot

>So where does this mass come from in the fusion process?

The product has less mass than the ingredients. Mass is being lost, not gained, so the question is where does the mass go.

The answer to where the mass goes is that it goes to the energy of the radiation being emitted.

> Neutrons are > slightly > more massive than protons, so all things being equal you can understand why 1 helium should have > slightly > more mass than 4 hydrogens.

Actually, the helium produced in the proton-proton chain has less mass than the constituent hydrogens. The difference is about 23 MeV, which goes into the mass and energy of the byproducts (neutrinos and gamma radiation).

Oh thanks!

Sans clarification/qualification, it is not unreasonable to treat hydrogen as hydrogen-1 and helium as helium-4.

Oh wow! I was very much wrong... So where does this mass come from in the fusion process?

This. It’s similar to how you can hear yourself chew or how clearly you can hear something tapping on your tooth. The sound waves can travel through the medium of your head to your ears. I think they made some gimmicky toothbrushes years ago that utilized this and played music you could only hear if the brush was against your teeth.

Almost all of the sound of the rocket comes from inside the rocket. Its main path to the passengers is through the rocket. This path is not interrupted when you remove the air.

This answer is wrong. Deuterium and tritium are just as much hydrogen as protium is, and similarly helium includes helium-3 as well as helium-4. Further, deuterium has a mass of 2,014,101.777844 µu, while helium-4 has a mass of 4,002,603.254130 µu, so we can see that even when the number of protons and neutrons line up, the mass is not the same.

As you can see from the numbers I just posted, you and OP (u/TheLapisBee) are actually also backwards in that 2 ^(2)H atoms have more mass than 1 ^(4)He atom.

Many of the symptoms that we associate with being sick are not actually directly caused by viruses or bacteria. Our immune system can respond in both general and specific ways and many of the “symptoms” we get are really just general immune responses. One example of this is fever! Many different viruses, bacteria, parasites etc. cause us to develop a fever. A fever is nothing more than your immune system cranking up your internal temperature so that you can essentially “melt” the proteins that the pathogen is creating. In fact, it is not that uncommon for your immune response to be the direct cause of death in severe cases of infection. Your immune system doesn’t know that by giving you a fever it could melt your proteins as well as the invading proteins. All it knows is invader=raise body temperature. Another reason many different pathogens cause the same symptoms, is that there are only so many pathways a pathogen can take to infect you. If you breathe in a water droplet with some virus on it, you will most likely develop respiratory symptoms (ie. sneezing, coughing etc.) because that’s just the part of your body that is fighting back. Similarly, if you eat food contaminated with a pathogen you will most likely experience diarrhea, vomiting etc. because that is the part of your body fighting back!

You have it backwards - radioactive decay turn mass into energy. (that's literally what E=mC^(2) means). The conversion multipler of mass to energy is C^(2) so a huge amount of energy makes a teeensy tiiny bit of mass, or a tiny bit of mass makes a HUGE amount energy.

Fusion in stars is complicated, is uses not-ELI5 type things like the "weak nuclear force", and yes, gravity, to convert energy into mass and energy into different mass and energy. The trick in the Sun is it has a tremendous amount of Gravity which kick-starts the process and creates a large net-output of energy (sunlight and other radiation). In something a fusion powerplant the problem is you don't have that gravity source so you need a large energy input in the form of heat in the place of gravity. Currently, it takes more energy for us to create fusion that we get out so it's not a sustaining reaction like the Sun is.

Sound can't be heard in space because there is no medium through which sound can travel. So you don't need to be in the vacuum, the vacuum just needs to exist between you and the source of the sound; there is no way for the sound to traverse that vacuum even if the source and destination aren't in vacuums themselves.

So no sound from the boosters can travel through space outside the shuttle then reach them in side.

That said, the boosters are still connected to the shuttle itself and sound can travel through the shuttle and inside and they will still be able to hear that.

To be pedantic there are fission bombs and fission/fusion bombs. There are no pure fusion bombs that are known to the public. Depending upon the design, the ratio of fission to fusion energy can vary quite widely.

EDIT:

And they typically use lithium as the fusion fuel. Hydrogen (deutrium or tritium) are more likely used as proposed fuels for commercial fusion energy production

Today’s dairy cows produce much more milk, per day, than is physically consumable by calves. Some farms use their own milk to feed calves and the excess is sent to processing for fluid milk, cheese and yogurt, other farms will use milk replacement powder and send all their milk for processing (reasons may be for a more consistent, nutritional product for the calves or due to lack of storage space for fluid milk). Cows only produce milk after having a calf. Cows who are in the 2nd or greater lactation have what is called a dry period which is typically 60 days prior to their due date where they are not milked. A lactation typically lasts 305 days, however, may be longer or shorter depending on health events, timing of breeding, etc. Most calves, in the dairy industry, have milk in their diet for the first 7-9 weeks of age (USA statistic-Penn State Extension) before transitioning to solid feeds to aid in proper rumen development. Hope this helps answer your questions!

Edit to add for credibility: I’ve worked in the dairy industry for 8+ years and have a BSc Animal Science (dairy focused dissertation) and am currently finishing a MSc Ruminant Nutrition.

Most mortgages are just like that in the UK too.

Not quite- time literally slows down in high levels of gravity. You cannot actually experience the slower time, though, because you are slowed down as well.

You can, however, see that other things are moving faster/slower than you relative to how fast you're going in time. A common explanation is that you take two twins and stick one on a spaceship going near the speed of light for a few years. Once the ship returned, the twin from the ship would be significantly younger than the twin who stayed on Earth.

This effect is why satellites need to resynchronize their clocks, by the way. They use extraordinarily precise mechanisms to keep time extremely accurately, but because they're much further from the center of Earth's gravity well (and thus far less effected by time dilation from Earth's gravity) their clocks run ever so slightly faster than clocks on Earth. As a result, they need to repeatedly adjust their clocks backwards to prevent their clocks rapidly desynchronizing from those on Earth.

It’s about the interactions between the two as they move away and toward each other. Helium will have complete a electron shell and the nucleus is basically at rest. Hydrogen as (H - H) is stable but reactive. Helium is inert.
