This "answer" is wrong, but we can learn something from it. It shows the dilemma of easy #information and #socialmedia's unqualified #opinions. I'd argue the problem is uncritically accepting the conclusion without its #logic. In this case, a close reading shows gross inconsistencies like denying that mc^2 =E = hf while stating that very fact: "photons only have one kind of energy, and that depends only on their frequency."

Even wrong answers can teach us something, if we read between the lines

The word "scientist" as we know it didn't always exist. Think about that for a moment. It was in 1834 that William Whewell, a philosopher and historian of science, first put the term "scientist" into print. He suggested it because the study of nature was becoming fragmented. You had chemists, mathematicians, and physicists, all working in their own specialized areas. Whewell saw the need for a unifying term, much like the word "artist" describes individuals across various creative fields. Interestingly, he introduced the term not in his own major work, but in an anonymous review of a book titled *On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences*, written by Mary Somerville. While Whewell first proposed the idea at a meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Cambridge in 1833, it made its published debut the following year. It wasn't an instant success. For many years, people still commonly referred to these individuals as "natural philosophers" or "men of science." But gradually, the term "scientist" gained traction, and by the late 19th or early 20th century, it became the standard identifier. This single word helped to define a profession and provide a common identity for those dedicated to understanding the natural world Sources: The Quarterly Review, Reports from the British Association for the Advancement of Science

J'ai besoin d'une confirmation médicale SVP.

Je lis que l'intestin du mâle humain est plus long que celui de la femelle, dont l'utérus prend de la place.
Or, j'ai cru lire que l'intestin des carnivores était plus court que celui des herbivores.
Donc, biologiquement, l'homme devrait manger plus de végétaux que la femme.

Donc, selon les critères de "sélection naturelle" qui sont que la mâle alpha est un gros viandard, la femme est le plus gros mâle alpha.

Pondering #logic with N states, where N is any # > 1. EG in the Soviet VIC cipher, there is an operation like decimal XOR. output=(a+b)%10.

This could be generalized, for digits of base N, as output==(a+b)%N == a XOR b. Furthermore, (a+b)//N == a AND b.

But what about NOT? Does it even make sense to have a N state NOT?🤔

Trying to extend binary logic, perhaps artificially, Maybe NOT x == (x+1)%N. It doesn't match some 3 state logic systems though.🤔 #math
