  • If we can’t solve every mathematical problem, there’s gonna be things in science that aren’t solvable either.

    Not at all, math and science are very different things. Math is a fixed system of rules that we constructed. Within these rules, there are possible statements which cannot be proven or disproved using only those same rules.

    Science is different, we don’t know the rules but we observe, measure, and make predictions. It’s not possible to “solve” physics but that’s because we can’t make infinitely accurate measurements, there’s nothing systemic to prevent us from making a complete theory.


  • Zero. There was actually a big story about this.

    Slovenian here, first of all huge thanks to Ukraine, it’s crazy what they have going on in their own country, and they still sent help to us for the floods.

    Second thing, there was a big misinformation campaign claiming that Russia offered help and Slovenia declined it, either because our ruling party politicians are russophobes or because of EU/NATO pressure. But this was simply not true, investigators checked, and the rebuttal was published on most major news sites, so most people at least know the truth.








  • It is debated whether it was necessary, but the position that it was wrong is self-contradictory.

    It assumes that the atomic bombs were not a huge factor in the decision to surrender, as they would surrender anyway due to conventional warfare (US bombing and USSR attacking and removing the best negotiating venue for a conditional surrender). Which might be true. But, at the same time it assumes that the nuclear bombs were somehow worse than the conventional bombing that has been going on. So the atomic bombs had to be both ineffectual and hugely damaging at the same time.
