Ah I see the argument you're trying to make, but chaos theory just talks about the large scale unpredictably caused by unknown small scale variables. If we knew all the variables then it might no longer appear chaotic.

BUT there is Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, that would have been the better physics idea to bring up. But quantum uncertainty might only apply to observers inside a system tho. A view from outside might lead us to believe in deterministic interpretations of quantum mechanics like Pilot Wave theory.

Space funding plunges 58% from record year as investors shun risk

Many put off by ‘disappointing’ performance of companies that were highly valued during 2021 space boom

Space isn't the sort of thing that's gonna bring you a return on your profits in a year or two. Real shame that people are pulling out already.

Surprised no one asked me for a citation on the claim that solar activity can affect mental health. Here's a study that shows a direct link between geomagnetic storms and suicide rate in men.

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Association of Geomagnetic Disturbances and Suicide Attempts in Taiwan, 1997–2013: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: A previous study in Japan found that monthly mean K index values were related to the monthly number of male, but not female, suicides. Correlations between geomagnetic disturbances and suicide/depression have also been reported in countries ...

Hard to say anything more about why but it's not just correlation, clear causation. Suicide rate isn't subjective y'know?

There's more of these studies, that's just the first one I grabbed off Google.

But I'm chubby and literally eating cheese right now.

This is a science thread. Why would a citation be out of line? Fucks sake.

Been getting accused of just being a stoner and making shit up. So in response to that, I figured some people would be questioning my claims and might appreciate a citation.

Seems you can't please all the people all the time eh?
