t. definately not a physicist. There are major breakthroughs occuring in many-body physics all the time, but particle autists have the hog on what gets through the media.

yeah but why though

OP/ED
It's 5/23! Happy Discordian Day good sir!

Here is a nice piece about modern day Discordians and the Cult of Kek.

For those of you who are unaware, Discordianism is a socialist chaos Magick collective started by Kerry Thornley (an MK Ultra recipient and early suspect in the assassination of JFK). It's members are mostly composed of pro gun socialist primitivists, but their paradigm is also being challenged by cybernetica socialism of late. They have loads of content generated over the last half century, and excel at trolling (especially in conspiracy theories as you can trace the origin of the Flat Earth Conspiracy to a prank their early members devised as an exercise in constructive gullibility).

Please enjoy your 5/23 leftyanons!

The Trump sphere are incredibly salty about this.

This will just allow the midsize banks to buy out the smaller banks, thus creating even more fallout when said midsize banks go belly up in a financial crisis, which most of them did in 2008.

He'll be able to beat them off. Most of his shows he doesn't go into their personal details since he thinks they are all fake people being played by crisis actors in the first place. It's so fucking stupid but it also shields him from prosecution since he doesn't claim they are real people in the first place instead of claiming they're secretly racist or criminals which libel tends to be.

Also if all else fails he'll do what he did during his divorce: claim he is playing a character. Cucks will continue giving him their money.

>He also is said to have had access to a firearm similar to the one used in the attack because a close friend had a weapons collection, it reports. The friend had spent time in the US military and had a strong interest in American Magnum revolvers, it is claimed. It was a Magnum that was used to kill the prime minister.

Trump also said recently that NAFTA is "difficult".

I think the greatest deal maker of all time is getting tired. It's just too much work.

In all fairness the task itself is actually insurmountable: it is impossible to renegotiate US-Chinese trade when American and Chinese companies are engaged in a zero-sum game. US firms have decided to cut their losses and cut China out completely rather than continue tolerating their attempts at hostile takeovers and market monopolization. Same for Mexico, but in regards to workers who themselves have realized NAFTA is designed to fuck them so they are electing an anti-NAFTA candidate, or will die trying in a civil conflict if he is assassinated.

This all works to Trump's benefit though. The harder other countries bargain the easier it is for him to enact tariffs and bring jobs home, even if most are wageslavery it's better than nothing and at this point flyover voters will take the work rather than continue rusting away. Given the way things are blowing apart, Trump is garunteed to have good midterms and get a second term as China and AMLO split away. This then leaves Canada in an extremely odd position because Canada doesn't want to change NAFTA but would benefit greatly if Mexico leaves, since Canada competes against Mexico for raw materials.

muh 4000D chess meme aside this fits within Marxist theory. Trump is capitalism's inherent contradiction: he's gonna burn everything to the ground in order to get a better deal even if it means no foreign deals. With this Trump will severely damage if not mortally wound neoliberal capitalism before his first term ends.

This isn't shocking, and neither is the shit attempt at trying to frame gun control as kids vs. adults. What happened was that all the algorithms on the big social media sites clustered everyone with like minded opinions together into two camps that only ever fought each other in the few times they came into contact. You can test it for yourself on Reddit: make an account that is just pro gun stuff or just anti-gun stuff and you'll get two very different feeds. The former's case will be half ammo ads baked into /r/guns threads the latter will be half subcompact car ads baked into /r/politics threads.

Also it's worth noting just how awful the movement in general is since they're deliberately ignoring statistics on gun violence which indicates most deaths (police, criminal, lawful self-defense or otherwise) are from shotguns (due to the physics of the large but relatively low velocity round) while most violence (deaths + nonlethal injuries) come from handguns (due to their concealability) while most crimes (deaths + injuries + robberies) are also borne from handguns. The semi-auto rifles they focus don't have a lot of deaths due to their relatively higher price and physics (rifle ammo goes through people, rather than staying in them).

Based Trump crashing this capitalist plane with no survivors

And people said he wouldn't be the accelerationist candidate. Free trade is terrible but part of its appeal is its simplicity. As Engels said, protection is like an endless screw and once you protect one industry you end up needing to protect them all.

We're coming to that last point, when the US contemplates tearing up its deals with China and Mexico because renegotiating is just too complicated. Everyone knows what the end result is with this type of disruption: commodity gluts and unpayable debts due to foreign exchange problems. With the US relying so much on foreign vitual slave-labor, we could see an odd-mix of things: price collapse of export commodities and rising prices for everything else in the short-term.

At this point in time, protectionism may actually be more radical than free trade.

NAFTA-> Porky getting together and rallying against a 3rd world communist country.

Of course it is. But the issues inherent with free trade forces it's end, as the destitute masses made impoverished by it rise up. Of course they're rising up in a retarded way by defending capitalism, but it's still a revolution that greatly disrupts capitalism worldwide even if it's able to survive in America. Prices will rise and the economy will slip into a recession, but after a few years the new (if low wage) labor will increase domestic prosperity enough where America is able to pull itself out.

The rest of the world won't be so lucky. China and Mexico are guaranteed to have economic depressions while the EU will be forced to carry the burden of neoliberalism alone. We're looking at a worldwide collapse here while America walls itself off. Or as I call it, the end of the capitalist age and the start of something new.

i'm genuinely amazed that Alex Jones hasn't been sued into bankruptcy already.

The discovery was nearly 30 years ago, but the previously fundamental explanation for how different phases of matter are realized was found to be insufficient to explain high-temperature superconductors. This has led to an entire area of research on what is now called topological order, and the number of topological phases currently known dwarfs the number of previously known phases.
The two most widely publicized applications are in quantum computing and high-temperature superconductivity. However, I want to stress that some of the underlying physics is so different from what we ever expected that most potential applications are still unknown. And this is in just one area of research in the field of condensed matter physics. This is essentially just the tip of the iceberg.

A big paradigm shift has been the introduction of topological states of matter (which you might know got the nobel prize…), but since the 50s there's been the invention of "broken symmetry", localization (many-body localization being the most recent field), the use of integrable models (Kitaev model) to explore anyon physics. This is just off the top of my head.
