Julius Caesar’s memoir of war in Gaul makes use of VIIII, for instance. You’re right that it’s much rarer, but was still used contemporarily and in modern times.

Because it’s not like a wave, such as waves in the sea.
Actually, it is. It’s the same meaning we’ve had for waves in physics since the first time someone figured how to plot a 2d graph. Only the medium is a quantum field instead of water, its amplitude is probabilistic instead of height, and instead of time we have some other property of distributions, usually space-time.
It’s a scientific fact that physical matter does not exist in its physical form when unobserved.
No, it’s not. The quantum field and the quantum wave exist whether or not you observe it, only the particle behavior changes based on interaction. Note how I specifically used the word “interaction”, not “observation”, because that’s what a quantum physicist means when they say the wave-particle duality depends on the observer. They mean that a wave function collapses once it interacts definitely, not only when a person looks at it.
It certainly invalidates physical reality as the “source of truth”, so to say
How so, when the interpretation you’re citing is specifically dependant on the mechanics of quantum field fluctuation? How can physical reality not exist when it is physical reality that gives you the means to (badly) justify your hypothesis?
That’s based on a pseudoscientific interpretation of quantum physics not related to actual physics.
That’s pseudoscientific bullshit. Quantum physics absolutely does tell us that there is a real physical world. It’s incredibly counterintuitive and impossible to fully describe, but does exist.
You could have a database of your brain… but it wouldn’t be conscious.
Where is the proof of your statement?
VIIII wasn’t exclusive to clocks, that’s the only long-lasting example we still have access to.
Is Luna, our moon, a planet?
VIIII is a valid way to write 9, though antiquated. If you look at very old clocks, you’ll see they all use this notation.
Stop using drugs, you’re making literally no sense.
Rest in peace, Boss(on) man. Some hefty contributions to our understanding of quantum physics, and all around a good civilized man.
There are fusion reactor designs (most hypothetical, but some physical) which use magnetic interactions to capture the energy as electricity. The issue is that it’s orders of magnitude more complex to do, even if it increases efficiency.
Tritium is a convenience, not a necessity. If researchers manage to build a functional fusion reactor which captures the energy, we can find substitutes.
I’m just a stupid redneck.
You got that right, at least
Seems pretty useful to me, considering you only exist because of fusion.
Easy to call it bitching when you have an easy privileged life.
Learn to learn, then. People can’t just magically hand you knowledge.
Good ol’ C&H with completely random violence for no reason.
That’s hilarious
