The number of possible unique chess games is much greater than the number of electrons in the universe. The number of electrons is estimated to be about 10^79, while the number of unique chess games is 10^120.

Quantum entanglement just got a whole lot weirder

Quantum entanglement was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics.

For the first time, in 2023, we've just seen it not for identical particles, but for different, distinct ones. (And wow, is it useful!)

I'm so glad we didn't have social media most of the 20th century. We'd still be using leaded gasoline, lead paint, asbestos, and CFCs. We'd have endemic whooping cough and polio. Just to spite the stupid scientists.

The other questions suffer from similar defects. These defects are so obvious, I can't understand why the paper was published, let alone gushingly reported on in the Guardian. 5/5

@Cernovich 'Transmission' can mean an infected person infecting someone. Or it can mean the total number of people being infected in the population. This matters because it's possible for a vaccine to have no effect on the first, but to reduce the second drastically thus saving many lives.
