Is it? I’ve heard Zillennials use most of these in casual conversation…

Happy cake day!

Roll for persuasion.

unless interest was indicated

You don’t think Izzy would be interested?

My immediate thought as well.

That’s not the point. The fun is to try and push the system until it breaks. I don’t need to actually use any of my infinite wishes once I have them. I’ve already had my fun.

If num_wishes is a signed int, wouldn’t it overflow back to -65536? I suddenly owe the genie a bunch of wishes?

A 2016 Nature study

To be more specific, this study in Nature Communications: https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms12172

Edit: Ha! NoSpotOfGround beat me by 2 minutes.

most of the research seems to be on stuff that will be used by corporations (not affordable for common people)

To be fair, I think that’s kind of always been the case for cutting-edge computer research. The first computers were the size of a room or a small building, and only universities, governments, and large companies could afford to have one. Over time, hardware becomes smaller, faster, and cheaper, and now most people have a computer in their pocket.

Ah, you’ve watched the Star Wars Holiday Special, I gather… some things cannot be unseen.

Physics:

• WTF is Dark Matter?
• Where antimatter?

Chemistry/materials:

• Better batteries
• Better solar cells

Biology/medicine:

• What causes aging, and how do we stop it?
• Cure cancer
• More HHV vaccines
• Extinct malaria

Pretty good summary. I’ll add a couple corrections:

This usually involves liquid oxygen. That’s heavy and under pressure

The critical point of oxygen is below room temperature, meaning it is not possible to keep oxygen liquid using pressure alone. For rockets, liquid oxygen is typically loaded within hours or minutes prior to launch, before it has a chance to warm up and boil off.

winning solution that could escape earth’s gravity well was the Falcon 9. A multi-stage rocket with different fuels for different stages

Falcon 9 is a two-stage rocket, but it uses the same propellants (kerosene and liquid oxygen) on both stages.

Also, I’m not sure if I would call the Falcon 9 the winning solution, just the “winningest” solution so far. SpaceX’s Starship, Stoke Space’s Nova, and any of the upcoming Falcon 9 clones have the potential to improve on the Falcon 9 design or solve the challenge of reusability in slightly different ways.

Good luck.

Fun fact: The Imperial March does not play during this scene, or indeed any scene in this movie (Star Wars). The Imperial March would not appear until The Empire Strikes Back.

quantum

larger objects

These two are kind of at odds with each other. Quantum effects are easily observable at the small scale, but rapidly become negligible on the macroscopic scale.
